Documentary Unit: Feedback Meeting with Helen (The Tutor)

Today Danny and I had a meeting with our Tutor, Helen. We talked about the issues we had with changing our idea focus from the charity to the the dog training centre and that actually it was working out quite well as the access we were having was pretty unlimited as Roy was incredibly generous with both his time and providing us with anything that could help. We explained each of the key stories involved in our film so far:

       - Roy Dyer
       - Dogs
       - Dog Handlers (Helper done good)
       - Psychotherapist Emma Evans (Expert)
       - Parents & Children - Cases

We also explained how our film could possibly be 2 parts - the Rescue dogs and the Cynophobia dogs. I was worried about how we would link both of these together and Helen said that there would be something inout film that may prove a easy transition but he had to find it. It may be something as simple as a Narrator saying 'but the Cynophobia dogs aren't the only heroes at the centre'.

Overall i was really pleased with our feedback as due to illness i hadn't been able to talk to Helen much about the film so was happy that i had the chance. It is really useful to have her opinion and helps to keep us on track and remember everything we've been learning in class.

Stay safe,

Helen
