However the filming i did take part in involved recording the interviewee while another group member asked the questions, and the other taking pictures of us doing so to show evidence.
The first interview we did was with Callum McIness. As this was our first interview we where not fully confident with recording and getting the framing right and lighting right. Easily mistakes where also made for example the microphone was turned off so when it came to capturing there was no sound. Therefor we had to film it again. Also the lighting was too dark and the pictures did not symbolise Callum properly as they where not seen due to poor light. The second time we filmed Callum we over came our mistakes and it was filmed perfectly. This time we made sure the light and framing was perfect, making sure that the posters in the back ground could be seen, and we made sure that the microphone was switched on. However when we did our first recording, we did it in a classroom, and when we came back to re filming the second time, we could not record in there as a class was in there. Therefor we had to go to the dinner hall as it was the only place available where it was quiet. In the middle of recording we found that we got intterupted a number of times by dinner ladies as they kept making noises in the background, by opening doors which echoed, causing us to
repeat questions and answers. This was not a major problem as we can just take it out when it comes to editing.
This is a picture of me setting up the camera before Callums interview 
Joel took this picture before we started filming 
This picture was taking as i was filming and Brian was asking the questions
The second interview i took part in was the interview with Mr Quinn ,the Sociology teacher. As i recorded the interview, Joel asked the questions. At first the i made sure that the framing was right so that the eye line was third the way up on the camera. When i thought everything was ok to film, i began recording. But first I and Joel decided to do a dummy run to check if everything was working. After we had done our first bit of filming we played back to check, everything was fine but yet again no sound, that's when we realised that we had forgotten to switch the microphone on. After realising there was no sound we switched the microphone on and we carried on with the interview. However as i was recording, Mr Quinn was sitting next to a computer with a blue screen, after a few minutes i realised the screen went from blue to black. I did not know if it would have effected the recording, but hopefully we can take it out when it comes to editing.
The third interview i did was Dean Carr,s interview, i did everything on my own as Joel and Brian could not make it. Normally when we do interviews there is always another group member there to help so that someone was not left doing everything on their own. As i did the interview on my own I found it hard to keep on top of everything as I had to get the framing right, make sure everything was working at the same time as asking the interviewee the questions and recording the interview at the same time.I found that in between questions i had to keep moving from the chair where i was asking questions, then going back to the camera to make sure it was still recording, telling dean to keep looking at the chair and not at me when i was moving. When i first asked Dean the questions, he couldn't help himself but laugh as he felt ashamed and he did not know how to answer to some of the questions being asked. I found this frustrating as i wanted to get it over and done with and he was not taking it seriously. When i played it back, i then realised that the microphone was not switched on therefor i had to rewind the tape back to the beginning so that i recorded back over the unwanted recording.
The second time i recorded and asked the questions, dean was sensible and co-operated well to the questions being asked, this time the microphone was switched on. However we then had interruptions in the background, as people outside the room where shouting in at dean asking him questions not knowing i was recording him. He then had to explain to them that we where filming and to not make noises outside the room as it was distracting us. When we finally did the interview, everything was fine and the framing and lighting was correct. All the interruptions we had in the background can be taking out when editing which is not a problem.
This picture was taking of me setting up the camera just before i began filming Dean Carr,s interview.The forth i took part in was the interview with lee Farragher. Yet again I recorded and Joel asked the questions while Brian supervised and took pictures. As i was recording lee, at first i had to keep rewinding the tape back to the start as he kept laughing and kept answering stupid answers to the questions being asked. When he had calmed down we continued filming and we did not re film. However when i was recording i noticed that Lee was keep going in and out of the eye line as he kept moving around a bit. However we can edit out the bits we do not need if necessary where he happens to move a lot in. 
Joel took this picture of me as i was preparing the video recorder and the framing just before i began to record.
The voice over script script of our documentary
Opening Title Images play- “Goths, Punks, Scallies,Moshers, all names given to groups of teenagers today, groups in society called subcultures, so what is a subculture?”
Opening Title
Voxpop
“There is a lot of stereotyping of teenagers today, and most teenagers conform to that stereotype because they are part of one of the subculture groups but why do teenagers feel the need to be apart of a group?”
Mr.Quinn Interview
“What do the people who have been stereotyped in the past think?”
Callum McIness interview
Dean Carr Interview
Lee Farragher interview
Lisa Smeadley interview
“So there are people who conform to these subcultures for a feeling of belonging and to give themselves an identity but is peer pressure something that exists in these groups? Take the story of Rhys Jones for example, he was shot and killed by Sean Mercer after he was caught up in a crossfire between two groups, groups that conformed to one of the stereotypes of subculture.”
