Final Questions

Questions for student Nurses interview

!THIS INTERVIEW NEEDS TO BE 2 MINUTES EXACTLY!

Start with a PTC, presenter alone, say introduction and then walk over to first student nurse.

Introduction


 George: “Thank you, Tom. I’m here at the Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, with Emma, currently studying to be a nurse. Emma, how are you?”

Questions for first nurse


 1. So, what does it take to become a student nurse?

2. How much placement work do you have to do as a student?

 3. So, student nurses lost their bursaries last year, how has this effected the nurses?

 4. How did the bursaries help the students when they were available?

 5. These bursaries were cut because the Department of Health wanted more student nurses to be taken on, do you think this has worked?

 6. If these bursaries could be brought back, do you think it would help the students more than the loans?

 7. So, what’s the next career path for you? (assuming they’ll answer to be a junior nurse to help lead to next section)
George: “Well we’ve also heard that there are some issues with Junior medical staff as well, (move over to next nurse, ensure they have not been in shot and presenter walks over to them) so over here is _____, another student to talk to us about it. Hi ______ how’re you?”


Questions for second nurse

1. So, we found that junior doctors and nurses had some issues not long ago because of new contracts, is this a worry for student nurses?

 2. Are these issues with the Junior medical staff still occurring?

 3. Do you think this will put Students off becoming medical staff?

 4. So, if you could tell the Health Minister how you felt about these issues, what would you tell him?
George: “Well, thank you very much to you and Emma for speaking to us. (George turns to do PTC). So, we’ve heard it from the students themselves. Back to you at the studio Tom.”


We had these questions prepared based on what we wanted to know and initially planned for two nurses. However, one was called for interview at the time of our shoot which unfortunately clashed, so I had to work around this and mix the questions up to merge into one interview. These were the questions we all thought of and I used them as a template for my interview as backup questions; I wanted to try and make the interview feel as natural as possible by asking questions that feel right at the time, hopefully ones that lead on from previous questions so its linked.

Story Telling Unit-Camera Workshop 3: 180 degree rule

Image
In today's workshop we were split up into groups and given a one page script and asked to film two characters discussing the 180 degree rule . The key to this task was understanding this rule and applying it. The script was a very basic duologue; the two characters come together, sit down across from each other and have a small conversation until one leaves at the end after understanding the 180degree rule. I chose to have my version with an entrance of one of the characters who is late for a meeting regarding this rule. The dialogue then starts as he begins to explain the 180 degree rule. My idea was to have them both on 'oppersite' sides of the  table, which could have appeared more tense, until the character understands the rule, the tension is broken when the first character leaves. I also wanted to test this rule with the entrance of the first character. I really enjoyed this worksop and found it useful in learning and understanding the 180 degree rule. I di...

Pre-Production: Professional Practice Interviews

Image
During the summer, I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in a work experience programme being offered to by production company 'Bareska'. In this, myself and three others were given free rein of a professional client project. I was the Co-Producer/Director/editor. I agree to do this project as it was ad-hoc- so a project I was able to work around uni and work and was also a fantastic opportunity for me to practice for my third-year major project, even if I didn't end up doing a documentary. This was fantastic practice in pre-production, directing and just speaking with contributors about a secretive subject. The Symbolism Behind the Chair I wanted to make the chair the focal point t of this piece. I feel it adds story watching Ben walk into frame and the wide shot makes it seem as though he feels alone now he doesn't have his brother, The sun is beaming in which is very atmospheric and quite angelic.  With my roles for the major project, I am going to u...

News Production: DIY Tech

Image
I am working in a group with Jack, Gavin and Simon and today we had a brainstorm after our unit briefing to find out what we could make a news channel on. We really liked one of the examples of the work of previous students who's target audience was students. We found this something that we could relate to ourselves so would be something we would be passionate about and take an interest in. Our first idea was to base it on university courses where students are made to pay for their own materials rather than the universities providing it. It was also about students taking courses in nursing and how there has been a significant drop in people choosing such courses as a result of the rise in uni fees and having their funds cut (previously the government would fund those degrees). For a segment of each episode I though it would be a good idea to do something more light-hearted too. We want it to engage our target audience of students by keeping it humorous and interesting without ...
