Yesterday, I went to the city to meet my cousin at her work to interview her. I brought along my camera and my questions and discussed with her what the documentry was about, what the underlying questions is and what questions I'd be asking so she'd know what sort of answers I'm looking for. I asked her the question and then she'd answer and then I would film and her and she'd repeat what she's said I tried to direct her in a friendly, informal way as I wanted her to feel as relaxed as possible, so that she'd have more to say and would be more honest. Thankfully she did have a lot to say, so I got a lot of footage to work with and have already begun editing it.
I have an appointment with my head of sixth form next Wednesday to do her interview and I will get an interview with my Dad and my Nana shortly and then I will film myself introducing and concluding the documentry as soon as possible as that is what holds it altogether.
I am currently looking at a lot of documentrys to find out how I want to introduce it, whether I want to film myself while talking, or have a voice over and film something else.

Script draft:
Introduction:
Me - What would you consider feminisim? Does it have any relevance in the modern day? Many people, both men and women believe that feminism is outdated. So what is modern day feminism all about?.. Nowhere in the world do women earn equal wages to men, across Europe there is a staggering 25% pay gap between men and women. An estimated 70% of children not in education are female. Male violence is the leading cause of death for women worldwide, here in the UK 2 women every week are killed by a violent male partner. Women spend an average of £2,462 a year on beauty products and almost every single advert for anti-aging products are directed at women. So why are there still not equal rights? Why are women still not being protected from men? And why even after all this time are women spending a fortune to look good for men? I asked Janet Kane, an ex-film/news editor and how she experienced discrimination within the workplace.
Goes on to interview Miss Kane. After that follow with interview with Mrs Evans.
Me - But have things changed since then? Do young women today still feel discriminated? I've come to see Harriet at her room at the UEA, Harriet is a 20 year old University student and I've come to find out what she feels about feminism and whether she feels it has any relevance today.
Goes to on to interview Harriet.
Me - Paul is Harriet's father I ask him whether he is a feminist and whether he wanted his three daughters to grow up with equal rights.
Goes on to interview Paul.
Me -Danielle is a 22 year old university student who is doing her degree from home, whilst looking after her 3 year old daughter. I want to find out whether she has experienced any discrimination while being a young mum.
Goes on to interview Danielle.

Conclusion:
Roles:
I am interviewing my head of sixth form on sexism within the workplace and how it still exists today, because she is high up within a high school and will have a lot of experience in this area. She has also expressed an interest in this documentry and believe she has a lot to say on the matter, this is great as I want my interviewee's to have as much to say on the matter as possible as that will give me more footage to work with and will give me a fuller documentry.
I am also interviewing my Nana, as she worked within the film business, but was sacked when they found out she was a single mother, so she has a lot to say about discrimination within the work place and how she was treated.
I am also going to be interviewing my 20 year old sister, who is at university, on her views of feminism and whether it has any relevance today. I know she has a strong opinion about her own rights and her position within society and I think she would be a powerful representation of young women today.
I'll be interviewing my friend who is 22 and had a child at 18. I will be asking her how she feels about feminism and how she thinks the rights that women have today have either limited her or liberated her as a young mum.
I will also be interviewing my dad and asking him whether he is a feminist and whether he's come across discrimination towards females whilst raising three girls and whether he wanted his daughters to grow up believing in equal rights for women.
