Log: Expert Opinion Footage

I have now got more footage to add to my documentary extract in order to portray typical conventions of a documentary. I have filmed an interview with my sociology teacher Mrs Sweeney giving her opinion on the Essex girl, how it developed and if its a true perception of Essex girls. Her responses are similar to an article I found in the Telegraph 'What is an Essex Girl?'. This article specifically lists television programmes that developed the stereotype which relates to the sociological perspective that the media influences stereotypes such as the "Essex girl".

So they can catch all the things going over their heads."
