EXTRA FILMING FOR THE WEBSITE:

·       A popular BBC 3 segment called ‘Things not to say’ and I am planning on making my own version - ‘What not to say to influencers’ and ‘What not to say to activists’

·       My characters will sit in an interview room and pull out stereotypical phrases/opinions that are associated with them and will respond e.g. for the influencer one, ‘How much do you earn from social media?’ and for the activists, ‘You try and force your beliefs on other people’

·       This will be a continuous mid shot with a shallow focus on the person who is at the centre of the shot throughout the whole segment
