Edit Decision List

To help in the creation of completing our media documentary I made an edit decision list which we could then use throughout the production to help us know what we originally intended to do whilst editing it. Some of the things we had orginally decided to do did not abode well with the rest of the documentary therefore we had to change some detail.

Primary research

We organised interviews with different obsessive people who are all obsessed with things such as twilight, Justin Bieber, Harry Potter, Mr De the psycology teacher, somebody who suffers with obsessive compulsive disorder and someone who has been able to get over one of their obsessions.

Some people suffer with the obsession of looking good constantly, for this we tweeted as a group to Gok Wan to see if we could set up an interview with him but we have not yet had any response. I took a print screen of the web page for proof of what we did.
