Script for voiceover

Introduction for John:
The Broomfields Youth Project in Warrington was set up to deal with the problems of underage drinkers in the town on a Friday night. The project has won awards for its efforts in keeping youth crime numbers down and John is the core to its success.


Introduction for documentary:


Whether you’re the drinker, police or just a person who sees it as an issue, affects us all. 50% of teenagers have had alcohol or been drunk, with a fifth of teenagers having drunk regularly from the age of 12.


Introduction to band:


 England is said to be the worst place in Europe for underage drinking. It is estimated that half of 16 and 17 year olds drink alcohol at least once a week. Even after the challenge 25 scheme was introduced in 2005 it is clear that underage drinking is still a huge problem.


Statistics with bottles:


Over the past four years only 16 people have been convicted for buying alcohol for under 18s, but surveys have shown that just over 50% of the teenagers questioned do get alcohol from friends who are over 18 or their parents.




Radio:
The average age of a young person’s first alcoholic drink is 13


Clip from under 18s interview ‘it’s not the norm but most people do it’


Clip from youth worker interview ‘it’s been happening for 20 years’


Few clips from the vox pop


Clip from police interview ‘it is a waste of our time and resources’


Clip from underage band interview ‘if you want alcohol you can get it’


Have we bottled it? Smells like teen spirits, Thursday at 10 on channel 4.

9th February




We filmed some more cutaways of underage people drinking, these ones are better than the others we did because the people there got more involved and wanted to be filmed more.
We also got more natural shots of them as they were drinking.

Radio advert ideas








Newspaper Advert plan

The idea for our documentary is to put the top of a Babies bottle on a beer bottle to give the advert a shock factor and to show a contrast between adult drinkers and underage drinkers.



12th January



We filmed teenagers drinking in order to acquire some cutaways, some of the clips that we got were successful and could be used in the documentary but most of them did not want to be filmed.

7th/9th January 2015

We interviewed two over 18's and under 18s on what it was like drinking before and after they turned 18.


The framing on this interview was good but the answers to the questions were not, they were too short and lacked detail in them.












These three interviews were the best options for us to use in our documentary as all of the answers were detailed and valuable towards our final product. Also the framing for all of them was also very good.

We did some cutaways of the band rehearsing for their assessment gig that we can now put over the interview that we have done with the band.
