As a group we went to a sweet shoop names 'Sweet Image' where we intrviewed the shop owner. The interview went really well even though she was very nervous. Our only problem was the failing of the microphone working which once we realised what had happened was resolved and the iterview went on.
Also at our interview we were allowed to look around the shop and take many different photographs of the different sweets they offered. Both shop owners were really helpful and welcoming and gave us some free sweets and chocolates to help us further with out documentary.

Primary research:
We needed to ring and email the people we wanted to interview, as we needed to confirm dates etc. We also explained who we where and what we wished to do during the interviews.
Secondary research:
We used the internet to find out about the different place we could go and interview e.g. Dentists and sweets hops. We also used it to find out information and statistic about different types of sweets and children’s teeth.

Questionnaire results and conclusions (including an audio responce)
Results from the questionnaire powerpoint from jessicajones123456
Conclusion:
The results that came back from the first question was pretty clear, we asked people from the ages of 20-40 to answer our questionnaire, and the age that appeared the most was 20-25 year old, this gives us a clue on what age it is we need to focus our documentary on. The next question was about gender, there were more female to answer the questionnaire then men, so again our results tell us that we need to base our documentary on women and what they like. However there will be aspects to the documentary that will possibly appeal to some men.
The next question we asked was do you buy sweets? only three people said no and the other 27 said yes this allows us to go ahead with the idea of having a documentary on sweets, but it also show that we can have conflict in our documentary because we can talk to those who do like them and who doesn't like them.
The next question was asking if they were diabetic, only one person said yes, but it will still be a good idea to talk about this in our documentary as we can ask them about what types of sweets they buy etc.
The next question was how often do you buy sweets, 13 people said every week this was what people said the most, the least voted was every year, only 2 people said this. The next question was how much do you spend on sweets? The majority of people said that they spent £1 - £2 and the least amount spent on sweets was £5 or other. This will allow us to talk about how the prices have changed throughout the years, which links with the next question. We asked do you think sweet have changed since you were younger, 53% of people said yes to this question. The next question was do you think the prices have changed since you were younger, 28 people said yes.
We asked people what their favourite sweet were and we had many different types of sweets given to us, some that are old and some that are new. The top three colours that were chosen most for the documentary were red, pink and blue. We also asked what songs do they think are associated with sweets the majority said 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' songs, and 'Candy Man' by Christina Aguilera.
We asked the audience if they would prefer a male or female voice over, 22 people said female, 2 said male and another two said either they didn’t mind, one person actually said if depends on what is being talked about.
We asked if they liked the original 1971 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory film' the majority of people said yes, one person said they liked it because the songs were really catchy. 4 people said no, one person said because it looked fake and was over exaggerated. We asked the audience if the film had any influence on them liking sweets 11 people said yes "I liked the idea of a chocolate fountain" and 19 people said no "I already like sweet".
We asked the audience if they watched documentaries 53% said yes and 47% said that they did not. However we asked if they would watch a documentary on sweets, on channel 4 at 8 O'clock and 22 people said yes and 8 people said no. This tells us that are able to run it at this time on this channel.
Our last question was how regularly do you go to the dentist? most people said every six months and the least said was every month and other. This tells us that it would be good to interview a dentist as it allows us to find out how many people they see every six months.
