Monday 31st October

Once back from half term, with the hour and 20 minutes we had of recording, we kept a log of what we filmed, and judged whether it was appropriate or inappropriate for our documentary

Thursday 27th October

We went to Liverpool again and filmed more vox pops and shots of Liverpool.We then went to the University of Liverpool and interviewed Michael Pace-Sigge, an expert in sociolinguistics. 

Tuesday 25th October Evening

As Scouse Humour plans to play a big part of our documentary. We wanted a Scouse Comedian to feature in our interview. We asked local comedian Sam Avery for an interview, this is what he said

so we agreed to meet him at 8pm at Baa Bar for an interview before watching and filming his gig.

Tuesday 25th October

We met at 8 am to get the ferry over to Liverpool and filmed various areas around liverpool before going to the Muncipal Buildings and interviewing Joe Anderson, Leader of Liverpool City Council. Prior to this, to of been able to interview him, we were given his email and sent him an email, asking the following

Hello,
I am Lisa Waine. I am an A Level Media student from Weatherhead High School, Wallasey. Myself and my group are making a documentary on scousers for our media coursework which has a big influence on our final A Level grade. We were wondering if we would be able to interview you for our documentary, this only take a short while and it will be a huge part of our documentary so we will be incredibly grateful if you could take the time out of your schedule for just a short while. The interview will be on the changes in liverpool over the years, scousers themselves, their humour and liverpools infamous music life. The interview can be conducted anywhere of your choice, all our filming needs to be completed by the end of october so we hope to hear from you soon.

Thank You,
Lisa.

The Councillor Joe Anderson agreed to be interviewed so we interviewed him at half 9 at the 'Municipal Building' 

We then filmed Iconic buildings and various Vox Pops
