Hi George,
Sorry for the delay in my reply, would it be possible to arrange an interview for this thursday 12th we would wish to conduct this interview in the town centre and it would take a minimum of half an hour, If it would be possible to meet around 2o'clock please let me know if this isn't suitable as we are able to work around you.

I was also wondering if you could keep me updated on any upcoming protests that could be filmed to be part of our programme.
Thanks for your help
Shona

Hi Shona,

Nice to hear from you. Yes I am keen to support your project. I am away all half term week.

I will be back in Barnsley from 2nd Nov. I am usually available at times during the day on a Monday, Thursday and Friday. Thursday 5th is a day of strike at Barnsley College so I shall be involved in various support activities for the lecturers on that day but other wise I am generally free that week on Mon and all three days the week beginning 9th Nov.

Let me know what times you would be wanting to meet up on any of those days and I'll put it in my diary. Let me know how long you will want to take as well.

All the best to you,

George

Hi George,
I dont know if you remember but i approached you in town last week about a documentary about the BNP's rise within Barnsley we are making as part of our A level media project. I was wondering if you are still interested in appearing on camera in order to give your opinions on the subject, as we spoke about at the time you would not be in a situation with a member of the BNP or in a debate style situation. If you could contact me with times and dates when is appropriate for you to meet with us.
Much appreciated
Shona Easton

Questionnaire results shona


This graph showing the results of our questionnaire gives us an insight into our target audience, it showed that the majority of people would prefer to watch a documentary of this style on Channel 4, this helps us decide where to broadcast our program. We also found the results that the majority of people who would be interested in watching this program would be 18-25 year olds, we can adapt our program so that it would appeal more to people of this age range by doing things such as interviewing people of this age group.

Statistics and Facts natalie

Statistics and facts to be included in our documentary.

· ‘Barnsley has always been an old fashioned Yorkshire town. People have never had foreigners living next to them it’s a backlash.’
As reported by the Times website on the recent increase of votes for the BNP
· Young people’s attitudes are still reflective of the views of the older generations.
· ‘All or mates wanted to vote. Get ‘em out. Foreigners. There dangerous. Their too horrible.’
Quote from a young person on the BNP as taken from the newspaper The Times.
· There’s been a rise in ANTI-BNP protesters in Barnsley with leaflets and posters circulating with quotes such as ‘vote anyone but Nazi.’ Also ‘reclaim our town for democrats’ campaign held two rallies in town centre, in response to the BNP having regular presence outside the Alhambra shopping centre, for the past few years on a Saturday.
· BNP gained the highest percentage of the vote in Barnsley.
