The most hated family in America - A documentary by Louis Theroux To research how to shoot our documentary, I watched one made by one of the most well-known documentary makers ever, Louis Theroux, as I thought if my​ group could imitate some of his styles, like shooting, interviews and voiceover, then it could greatly improve the quality of our own documentary. I chose this documentary due to me hearing things about the Westbro Baptist church before, but I didn't know a lot about them. I had heard that they went to very extreme measures and had opinions on certain subjects that are considered by everyone else as extremely offensive. This documentary really opened my eyes to how far people are willing to go in order to try and make their point.  While watching this documentary, I took notice of how Louis conducted his interviews. They were quite informal, as he and the person he was interviewing were not always just sat down talking to each other. Most

So we could get an outside view on fake fear, we were able to secure an interview with an actual adrenaline junkie, only thing was, she's 73! She was amazing to interview, and her answers were so descriptive, which gave us some area to play around with during the edit. We needed to rearrange the house to better suit an interview, and when we realised that we would have to do that, we were glad that we were filming in one of our own homes instead of Jackie's house, or in a public area, as we then had control over the whole environment. Jackie was a pleasure to interview, as she was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour to match. 

After a thrill the chemical dopamine is released, which acts like a natural high. so it's easy to see why people chase it. It is thought that adrenaline junkies, or sensation seekers, get a larger amount of dopamine than people who have low sensation seeking behaviour. Roller coasters are one of the most popular thrill attractions. They still make us feel apprehensive, even though the chance of being injured is only 1 in 24 million. I’m here at the London Tombs to meet Kirsty, who has worked here for 5 and a half years to see what she can tell me about fear. So the tombs were definitely a more interactive and simulated horror experience, and i'm starting to get a feel for it, but i still want a more extreme feeling. So Im meeting Jackie, a seasoned adrenaline junkie, to see why she keeps coming back for more. I quite like health and safety, but i don't think Jackie does. So maybe that's why she is much more relaxed than i am about this jump. I definitely feel

This was, in my opinion, the best day of shooting, due to the fact that George was actually going to be jumping out of an aeroplane and fall thousands of feet, and the fact that we had been waiting for this moment for an extra week that expected, due to last week being canceled due to be weather, it made George's reactions to the event even more realistic and personal. The weather was perfect for both us on the ground and the cameraman in the air, and coupled with the calmness of the air, created a contrast of fear and relaxation in the whole group. The most annoying part of this shoot was the drive up to Chatteris, as it was 2.5 hours, which meant leaving at 5:00am, but as we were all anticipating the events at the air field, we were barely tired. We arrived with plenty of time to spare, and while George went through training, we could decide where was best to shoot George's descent.  When the jump was over, we rushed to film George's reaction, as

Useful stats Tanya Goodin (founder of one of the UK's first digital detox companies) carried out a survey of more than 500 young people aged 13 to 18. Of those, 29% said they spent more than eight hours a day online while 36% admitted they regularly fell asleep with their phone or laptop in bed. Two-thirds (67%) said they went to their phone when they were bored and nearly 60% revealed they used their phone as a crutch in an uncomfortable social situation.
