DOCUMENTARY UNIT: MEETING WITH ZOE - PLAN SO FAR & PRESENTER

Just before our meeting with Zoe, we confirmed our presenter for the documentary.

George has a friend from school who has been doing acting for a few years now and is confident on camera. George explained the documentary and he is interested in taking on the project.
Liam Alexandru is 21 years old which is perfect age for us as we're aiming for teenagers and young adults. He's studied history, including the Holocaust at A level and just recently returned from a trip to Berlin with his Step sister who is currently studying Hebrew and Jewish Major at Barcelona University so he's passionate about this topic and he's educated in the Holocaust as well.

We've given him the production dates which we've said is from the 24th April to the 5th May and he's told us that he is available for them and would be happy to come with us to Berlin as well.


Once we'd done this, we went on for our meeting with Zoe. Explaining how we are now covering whether we are numb to the Holocaust by taking disrespectful selfies and photos at the Holocaust memorial and that we're going for a 'Louis Theroux Style' documentary with having the presenter going on this trip and investigating this topic. We explained that we are waiting for confirmation from the Imperial War Museum and the Holocaust Memorial for whether we can get an expert. We also explained that we have gotten Shahak Shapira onboard with the Documentary and that we're going out to film at the Memorial and Interview him.
Zoe explained that if we're focusing on the Holocaust and this idea of the selfie culture then we should be focusing on a Holocaust expert but rather a Social Media expert. This would help our investigation much more since this isn't a history documentary.

Zoe also explained that we don't really have anyone other than Shahak for our documentary and we should consider getting in touch with some Holocaust survivors since their opinions would be amazing for the documentary and really build it up more.

Although, we are pitching this documentary tomorrow so we won't have time to make these changes but these can be made in we get our idea green lit.
