Research









For my research i decided to conduct a survey in which I asked several questions relating to the obsessions and passions subject, the questions that I asked were 'do you have any strange obsessions yourself?' the reason I asked this was for interest and to see if we had any possible new candidates for our documentary.

These were the first set of answers that we got, as you can see people took strangely to the question 'strange obsessions' i think the reason for this is because they weren't sure that there obsessions were strange, hence didn't comment to widely on it.




The second question I asked was 'do you have anything you are passionate about?' the results we received we're somewhat similar to the first question that we asked. People would put their obsession or just a general topic that they were passionate about. Because of the topic of the question people seemed to be more open about their hobbies & just general topics. 




The final question was if you could ask people with obsessions questions what would they be? for this one we got several questions relating to the topic of choice, we really helped us for when we come to filming and interviewing people.
as you can see the range of questions was very good for example 'what impact does the obsession have on your everyday life?' this was good because it was a question which could lead to multiple answers, these questions are all very varied which will help us.


There are certain laws on filming in public in the UK, if you want to film on public grounds you will need permission from the local authority or the council because they are the ones responsible for public land, buildings, roads and parking. If filming on roads or things where there may be threats from the public you will need to contact the local police and do a risk assessment on the area to make sure it is safe. In the UK in accordance with Data Protection legislation consent should be obtained by someone who will be the main focus of the recording, whereas if you are recording in a public place the fact that a passer by is captured in the film in the background and is able to be identified by individuals who know them does not in itself make the image personal data and consent is unlikely to be required to put the video on YouTube or incorporate it in an Open Educational Resource (OER). Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel.
