As a group, we decided to base our documentary on teenage driving resulting in accidents, something of which we all discussed and agreed on. We decided as a group to email 'Drive Alive', an organisation who portray the dangerous consequences that can happen as a result of driving, as well as providing information, leaflets and talks on real life cases, in order to teach youngsters to be safe when driving. One of the group members, Hester, with our co-operation, emailed the organisation asking for information of which we can potentially use within our final documentary. As well as this, we have begun experimenting with different interview techniques, for instance, the interviewer being in the shot as well a contrasting interview when the interviewer is not present. This has enabled us to see which is most effective and ultimately which would be most appropriate to be used in order to make the documentary sustain realism throughout. We have also began to experiment with shots, such as hand held shots and steady shots, in order to begin to understand the importance of the technical process when starting to produce our own documentary.
The 'Drive Alive' website allowed us to explore and develop an understanding of what the organisaton is all about. We were able to create an impression of what the site tried to offer, for example, it clearly promotes safety on the roads which is something we want to portray withinn our documentary, therefore established the organisations importance and relevance. We were then intrigued to find out more information which we would be able to use within our documentary.
