Documentary - Looking for potential people to interview

Potential interviewees


Justyn Larcombe

Justin was interviewed back in 2014 by the BBC about his Gambling addiction. I found Justyn by just simply looking for people affected by Gambling in Kent and his story was the first I read. I found out that he sold his house, spent his wife's saving and used his works credit card to feed his addiction. He was also interviewed on Good Morning Britain (Video below).

I think Justyn would be a great person to interview as he already has spoken openly to the nation about his gambling addiction, so hopefully, he'd want to talk to us and specifically to the younger generation to warn them about the dangers of gambling. Also, he'd want to say how easy it is to lose everything through a simple click of the button. I could only find Justyn on Facebook so i had to message him on that.




Adding on to justyn, Sara managed to find his email so i then did email him to as he didnt reply to the facebook message.




Tracey Crouch
Tracey Crouch was voted into parliament in 2010 for the conservatives and also the minister of sports. Back in 2018 she, unfortunately, resigned as the minister of sport as she lost a battle against reducing how much money you can put on a bet. She wanted to reduce the amount from £100 down to £2. We decided to approach Tracey when Helen gave us the idea to try and contact her. We have then contacted her and she really seems up for getting the message across that gambling has become out of control in recent years. She also wants to get her story across about what happened in the last year. We are set to go The Atrium Portcullis on 25th April at 12:00 for an interview with Tracey. The only main problem that we have with this interview is that we could only secure Tracey for 20 minutes, which is quite a shame becasue we're now limited in what questions we can ask her.


Dr. Lazoros Gonidis 
All credit for Sara for finding Dr. Lazaros Gonidis from the univesity of Kent. We knew that we wanted to interview and expert, so we all went out to find some people. We did find a good expert, however, he said he didn't have time for us. This is when Sara managed to find Lazaros, she soon got in contact with The University of Kent and managed to secure an interview with him on the 24th April, which is great becasue the day after we then go to London to interview Tracey.

Analysis of a News package: BBC news breakfast (can cannabis help Charlie Hughes epilepsy). Story: Figure 1 (Charlie before taking medical Cannabis) Figure 2  (Charlie 5 months of taking medical cannabis) We are introduced to Charlie Hughes where we soon find out that he suffers from infantile seizures caused by epilepsy. He was having over 100 seizures a day and the medication that was being provided for him wasn't working. Doctors said he wasn't allowed brain surgery as it would not have worked. This is when Charlie's parents decided the last option would be to try a cannabis-based oil. Charlie started taking CBD earlier this year in February and five months later he's gone from 120 seizures a day to less than 10. After being told this information we then find out that Charlie's epilepsy is so bad that it could kill him.  CBD oil has changed Charlie's life and has helped his parents not fear the worst for him as he was a ticking time-bo...

  Dig Your Own Grave (2018) ​ For the final analysis, I have found a film called Dig Your Own Grave which is another short film. Yet again I will be looking and analysing points for the film through the eyes of a DoP, which means that I will focus on framing, camera movement, lighting, and the equipment used. This film is very different from the two I have already looked at and has a more comedic tone throughout. The first analysis had a horror tone, the second also had more of a darker tone, so I thought it would be good to look at a more comedic film, as I have spoken and discussed with the producer and director and they want our film to have dark comedy. ​ What is the film about The film takes place in an American desert as a gangster's son (Reggie) has been given the job to take this guy out and kill him. Reggie thinks it would be a good idea to make the hostage (Dan) dig his own grave before killing him (like in the movies). The guy who is digging his own grave is be...

Production - Production development

Project Development In this blog post, I will be covering the key moments of change within our production leading up to shoot week, shoot week, and post-production. I will be covering moments where I discovered something that could potentially improve our film.  Location change and script changes that affected me The first major change that happened during this production was the fact that our producer and director felt that our film was too optimistic. The original script included multiple locations and very complex VFX shots, which were well above our skill level. This change would really affect the progress of the work I have done up until this moment. Due to location changes and the script having changes meant that the location paperwork for the locations up until then have now become obsolete. This was not the only reason for a location change we had to change the location due to COVID-19 restrictions. We were hoping that through James' connection with the Isle of Sheppey poli...
