Location

I have scouted around Oxfordshire for a relatively large space, preferably with a house/mansion enabling me to create a story to tell a person, making them believe that the fake thriller story is real.
I have scouted locations and came up with the following:
Blenheim Palace - http://www.blenheimpalace.com/
Wolvercote ruins
Church grounds -Kidlington St. Mary's -St. Giles Church

Researching the following I've decided that I'm going to use blenheim palace. It's the closest location to use and would be the easiest to work around. As i live in Woodstock I have a pass to the grounds, enabling me to go into the grounds at any time.

Beauty Pressure advert



This is an advert which I came across during my media lesson. Its an advert that shows what the beauty industry is doing to the young girls in the world today. By showing all the 'beautiful' women in their magazines, on TV etc.. what is it doing to them exactly?
Watching this advert I really liked the way that the creator portrays it across using sharp, quick, vivid shots. It makes you feel instantly in the issue and grabs your attention. The reason for doing this quickly I think is because he creator wants to show how fast your child is growing up and how quick the beauty industry grabs young girls into their reins.

Derren Brown: Behind the Mischief



This is the documentry of Derren Brown. He shows exactly what the title says 'behind the mischief'. Derren shows what he's been doing behind the filming and how he portrays the paranormal affect on his victims.
I needed to get insight on the extent of how far people would go and the amount of beleif within the 'mischief'

Derren Brown: Enigma



Doing a documentary I started to research the particular programs that would relate to my own. Derren Brown does not believe in the paranormal and in many of his documentaries he shows how the paranormal world can be misinterpreted with the smallest belief. This is a documentary where he 'tricks' alot of peoples beliefs with just a few small tricks.
I want to research a few different takes on the paranormal and during this I should decide which veiw I'll come from.

Change of plan

After much thought into the project I have decided that I want to research into a subject that I would be more involved and intrested in. I'm very much intrested into the paranormal and started to research into a few documentrys that I have come across such as Darren Brown. He doesnt beleive in the paranormal but change convince a group of people its a real occourance of the paranormal.
I had then had a few conversations disscussing people's experiences with the paranormal and finally came to the decision that I must research into this topic. My plan is to get in contact with a medium and meet with a few people to see what would be happen. Obviously I would need the mediums permission to film, or just have a camera but not to be showimg the persons face.
