Location Research

When planning what scenes I would film for my documentary, I made a list of all the places a typical
teenager based on a simple survey I conducted. I simply asked 30 teens, aged between 15 and 19,
where they spent most of their time over the past couple of months, June to September, and
created the following chart from the results:

Location Tally Frequency
Bedroom IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII II 22
School/Sixth Form/College IIIII IIIII IIIII II 17
Work IIIII IIIII IIIII IIII 19
Bowling Alley IIIII IIII 9
Parties IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII I 21
Festivals IIIII IIII 9
Driving IIIII II 7
Fun fair IIIII IIIII 10
Beach/Pleasure Beach IIIII IIIII IIIII I 16
At home IIIII IIIII IIIII IIIII III 23
Cinema IIIII 5

Most of the teens mentioned the same places over and over again. From this research I will ensure
to include all the above locations in my documentary short.

Whilst filming for my documentary-based short film, I visited the following locations:
