This week, we had a tutorial with Helen to go over our ideas, cast and locations to make sure everything is running smoothly and planned as it should be. From the feedback session there was two main things that Helen gave us to think about
1) Argos - would it be right for us to film with them? Due to the fact Laura works there, there could be a conflict of interest because we wouldn't be able to be objective in interviewing Argos, for them it is purely a bit of promotion and they would only want to talk positively about their Argos card rather than anything else.
What We've Done About It; Having this discussion with Helen made us realise that perhaps it wasn't the best idea to have an interview with Argos; within our piece we don't want to glorify Argos Credit Cards, something they may want to do therefore there is an extreme conflict of interest. Furthermore, instead of this we are looking for a case study. Someone we can interview and in essence someone we can tell a STORY about. Ideally someone who has or has been in debt, because they will be able to talk objectively and from experience about whether or not credit/store cards are a good thing.
2) The second issue we had when talking to Helen, was what the issue were trying to deal with in our news piece was. We aren't 100% sure of what the issue is, the problem we are trying to deal with within the piece and what we are actually talking about
What We've Done About it; I looked into some research and the best, most reliable source was the bank of Englands website. From there, we found that on average, people spend an extra £500 a month on in November and December as Christmas preparations get underway; this includes presents, christmas food and alcohol. At the moment we have narrowed the problem down to this; With Christmas starting earlier and earlier every year within shops, and so many finance offers and cards being offered, are people getting into debt too easy?
