Interviews...

On Monday 28th September, me and my classmate set out for Cleves junior school.
When we arrived we proceeded to interview a group of students and teachers. We interviewed two head of years, four students all in year six and a deputy head.
From the four students we discovered that they had matured from violence in cartoons thinking that they were "stupid and not very interesting" and had progressed onto more mature programmes. These responses surprised me because i was expecting positive attitudes towards cartoons, but these children seemed to have a thorough dislike for the cartoons that we asked them about.
When we started interviewing teachers they shared our views about children watching cartoons, one teacher told us behind the camera "the younger children are more influenced by the cartoons they watch, we often see during breaks little groups of boys play acting martial arts or throwing air punches often trying to imitate something they watched on the television, but personally I've found as they progress through the school years that they often move away from the more influential cartoons onto more mature programmes and i can say as a teacher I've definitely seen a change through their work, they become a lot more focused and their school work becomes a better quality, of course you do get the occasional student who doesn't settle down but that's very rare."
Overall we were very pleased with the responses to our questions, even if some of them were unexpected, they gave both positive and negative sides to the documentary providing us with a good balanced argument. Now we have uploaded our footage onto the apple macbook we can start the process of editing and adding factual information.
