Since we managed to confirm an interview, we came up with six questions that we wished to discuss with a victim of cyber-bullying. Three personal questions and three that could be applied universally. 
  1. Your Experience 


  • How old were you when the cyber bullying started?
  • How did the comments make you feel?
  • How did you over come this experience?
     2.  General

  • In your opinion, what are the most common sites on which cyber bullying is popular?
  • What advice do you have for other people who are going through this experience?
  • What do you think can OR should be done, to put an end to cyber-bullying?

In order to ensure our news package fulfils our potential and is up to a very high standard, we are going to need the following things:

Props:
  • Crime tape for the second story to place around the house.
  • Computer, Keyboard and Mouse for both stories.
  • Microphone for both presenters of each stories.

Equipment:
  • High quality camera to ensure that the footage we film is to a high standard.
  • Tripod which helps keep the camera steady and gives a good finish to shots.
  • Microphone for both presenters in each story to ensure that what is being said can be heard clearly.

Costumes:
  • Each presenter preferable would wear black trousers/jeans, black shoes, white shirt and a black blazer/jacket.
  • Dark clothing for the interviewee to match the dark and dimmed background to hide their identity.
I produced this call sheet for us to ensure we have a clear plan and idea of exactly how our news package is going to be carried out. The call sheet enables us to clearly see specifically for each who is going to be needed, the equipment needed to allow us to film the scene exactly how we wish to and final the location of which each scene is going to be filmed.

I researched several types of Risk Assessment forms in order to gather an idea of what I needed to include when producing my own risk assessment form, and also find out what information is vital and needs to be placed/questioned on the form. I found some very useful examples and templates when searching for different types of risk assessment forms.

One example that I found very useful was from the website: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:WAW9xsfo410J:www.essexinsurancebrokers.com/content/Film%2520Production%2520Risk%2520Assessment%2520Form.doc+risk+assessment+form+filming&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk


This risk assessment template was very helpful as it  shows a clear table of how the risk assessment form should be set up, and the important pieces of information than needed to be included and by looking at this it enabled me to create a my own template for our risk assessment form. Here is what my form looks like:

Our risk assessment contains several columns which identify hazards, identifying the people that may be effected by the hazard, ways in which we can ensure that these hazards are prevented and how significant of a risk the following factors are and which will help us to take extra care when filming our footage.

When research different types of risk assessment forms I came across something very interesting called a risk assessment checklist which helps to ensure that our risk assessment form actually does its job, and identifies all of the possible hazards/problems we may encounter. The checklist gives a list of information that our risk assessment form must contain in order to cover all areas necessary. I found this checklist when browsing through the risk assessment forms and information of the Westminster website. 






Our survey has been successfully posted and now I'm going to analyse some of the results.

50% of people who took this survey were female. This shows that our News package could be suitable and relatable to both genders.
100% of people who took this survey are between the ages of 17-19 years old, this doesn't decrease our target audience but makes us more aware of what age group are most interested.

 Feedback shows us there are many different ways people receive their news. Using this information we can extend our posts to more social networking sites. This would also help us to achieve a bigger networking surface area to gain a bigger audience.


3 out of 4 people use the internet every hour daily, this means people can frequently visit our website and/or blog page, so the use of the internet to provide for our audience is very ideal. 
                                                      
Feedback shows us people would be interested in seeing stories to do with hacking and cyber bullying with the exception of fraud and stolen identity aswell. Using this information we can direct our attention to what our audience really want to see. 

 Cyber bullying is something 75% of our feedback have never experienced. We could help to bring awareness to the 3/4 who have not by, posting relevant stories about cyber bullying. It is a major occurrence on the internet and based on our feedback people would be interested in these stories.
