Here are several pictures of different locations where we will be filming various parts of our news package. The first picture is the view of the exterior of Akshay's house where we film the news presenter (Akshay) delivering news about the hacking incident regarding Robert Jason. We then use this location once again, at the end of the news package to finish things off and give our work a nice round off.
The second image here is a picture of Akshay's study area within his house. We are using this area to show case the work area whereby Robert Jason (the hacker). Using the PC shown in the picture we are going to display the websites and programs Jason used in order to hack the company. We are also hoping to to create a reconstruction of the hacker using his work station to bring a sense of realism and add another aspect to our news package.
There aren't many risks or problems with using these locations, however the main issue when working in these locations, is ensuring that we are responsible and think about other residents needs.
After speaking to our teachers and gaining their advice on ways to improve the planning and research of our news package, we were given a suggestion which had a large effect on our research and planning as a whole as this was to with the storyline within our news package. Originally we were told that our news package needed to include two different stories, therefore we decided to speak about cyber bullying and hacking, two very large and well known crimes involving the use of technology.
However, after speaking to our teacher during a lesson we were told that we were not meant to use to different stories within our news package and had to decide on one to go through and continue with. We decided that the hacking scandal was the topic we were going to keep as it was an extremely exciting story which every member of our group was looking forward to doing. Having made this decision, it meant that many changes needed to be made to our existing planning and research as well as the planning and research that is needed to be carried out in the future. Some of the changes and developments involve:
- Call sheets that were produced need to be updated as now scenes such as 1,2,3,4 and 5 shown in the call sheet have all be deleted as it was not a part of the hacking story. Now using scenes 6,7,8 we need to develop the story in order to produce a full news package lasting for approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
- Similarly the storyboard needs to be changed and adapted now as almost half of the storyboard needs to be scrapped and replaced with new ideas and scenes involving our topic of hacking.
- The short outline of the structure that was going to be used for our original news package needs to be adapted to replace the information regarding the old storyline.

It was recently brought to our attention that a London University [which has not chosen to be identified] had been attacked by the notorious group of online 'Hacktivists' known as Anonymous. As explained below, there is reason to believe that the people behind the infiltration of the educational institution's multiple websites and databases, because they actively disagree with their “cross-cultural attitudes and the shaping of online behaviour in crisis situations” to “the analysis of crowd behaviour through ad-hoc mobile sensors”.

To prove how dedicated we are to the topic of hacking, we have decided to learn how to become "professional" hackers. Thanks to the help readily available on www.hackertyper.com , we were able to "master the basics of hacking" in a matter of minutes.
