After my documentary got picked to be commissioned i went and told Kathy the young lady i have based my documentary on.
For around four days i have not been able to speak to Kathy as she went home so when she got back last night once i got her up to date with what i've been doing such as using post it notes to create a shot list and mapping out what shots i want where, i also got some information from Kathy so lots of different paper which all speak about symptoms Kathy had and how she went through depression brought on by her M.S there is also information about using illegal drugs to help ease pain, for me to be able to touch on this sort of subject i need to look at other documentaries where people speak about drug use and use a similar way they use to get around the subject.
I have to ring Hadlow college to make sure i can film there, the shots i want to use at Hadlow are shots of things that Kathy will be up against that other class mates wouldn't think twice about doing for example maybe steps leading into lessons.
I have asked Kathy if she would be up for doing a video diary where she can talk about things that are on her mind or if she is feeling particularly painful, there are certain things that i wouldn't be able to film and this is another way to capture moments for example when you suffer from M.S you lose control over your bladder so there could an example where this has happened and she might want to mention it. Also this is another way for my audience to relate with Kathy and feel like they are friends and they have known each other for a long time.
