Production Log 9

This week we were working on data collection through the use of surveys. We started by going over all the different types of survey that we could carry out, for example a Vox-pop (video of questions being asked and answered in real time) or through the use of a questionnaire (a sheet with questions being asked). We had to decide what would be a better choice for our film and we decided on using the vox-pop because it is much more appealing to look at rather than a lot of sheets of paper but also people have more incentive to give a legitimate and a longer response when on video as they can be exposed unlike with an anonymous questionnaire. 

We will then use the data to help alter the narrative of our film and make some changes in order to make it more appealing for the audience to watch. The examples of our change can be viewed at full here, but a short explanation would be about the two brothers and how the eldest brother had been reformed we got 2/3 responses saying that they thought it was a good idea that the two brothers were close but the idea of the older brother being changed while in prison and then trying to help his brother out after seemed to prove to be very popular. They thought that it would be a very dramatic story and that it would be intense. Further more when asking about the second question about what each person thought of a British Social Realism film that was based upon religion as it is obviously linked to the idea of terrorism in our film we got very similar responses. Many people thought that the idea of exploring the differences with people from different ethnic backgrounds was a good idea as it got to show the process and the routine of someone from a different culture. It also would raise some issues to society about equality between people of different colour and or gender and they thought hat it would be good to help try and erase those thoughts and ideas from the people and replace it with something less threatening.
