2.  Research and planning
When researching the topic for our documentary it was
essential that we gathered together as much information
as possible about the subject of education, universities
and employment. We also had to gather information about
the target audience as well as information about the codes
and conventions of documentaries. When researching
documentaries we also watched some others to use as
examples such as; fairy job mother and Supersize me.
 Planning included making a filming schedule in which
we decided when we would film where, what and who.
We also had to arrange our formal interviews; We
emailed Emma Hurste and sent a letter to Hilary
Hargrave requesting an interview and arranging a time.

3. Research and planning (ancillary tasks)
 For our article; we used magazines we already had and the
internet to look at the conventions of these articles. And then
went on to design the layout for our article.
 When researching for our radio trail we listened to other radio
trailers to get an idea of length, music and content and then
drafted up a script and used garage band to create a music to
be played.

4.  After we had done all our research and
planning we condensed our notes and
presented them all ready to put on the blog.
In order to do this we used; Microsoft word,
PowerPoint, Scribd and Slideshare.

5. Documentary
 When constructing our documentary the first and
technology we needed was our camera which we used
to film and take still images. The camera was a vital
part of the developing of our documentary was also
used for the images in our magazine and to record
the audio for our radio trailer
 Once we had done all our filming for the
documentary etc. we then used the macs, specifically
final cut express to view our clips and edit them
adding in sound, transitions and adjusting the
images. We used in design to create our magazine
double page spread and garage band to create our
music for radio trailer and add in and edit voice over
clips and also extracts from the documentary.
