Final Cutaways - Lauren O'Donoghue

After adding additional cutaways to our documentary, i edited the final cutaway documents.

Cutaway of Romford shopping strip - We decided to use this as the voiceover speaks about members of the public. Romford is always busy and a variety of different people of different ages and cultures walk through the strip everyday. So by filming the strip, we are representing a mixture of different people, which is essentially what 'the public' is.

Cutaway of Tesco - In my subject research I found that youths are very discriminated in certain situations. The Tesco express outside our college is a prime example of this. The sign says 'Only two students allowed in at a time', so students are left to queue up outside, regardless of whether they are in a rush to get something to eat because they have to go back and do work or not. We thought this was very relevant, especially as adults are allowed to walk freely in and out of the shop. This therefore bases an assumption, or at least angers students as they are treating them as if they are criminals and will steal something just because they aren't classed as 'adults' yet.

Cutaway of students walking in and out of college - We used this as obviously we are talking about young people, and our college is a place that inhabits many students. It is just a general impartial cutaway that leaves the audience to make their own decisions. The shot was relevant to our documentary when talking about youths of today and how they are portrayed in society.

Cutaway of News board/Newspaper cuttings - We used these as cutaways as we thought they were very relevant - news article about youths, and also negative. Especially when it came to John Murphy speaking about whether he thinks that journalists give an objective recollection of events.
