DOC UNIT: SLOW PROGRESS

We have not been with out our fair share of issues this unit I thought I should express them and say what I might have learned.

With the Director of Rugby at Sutton Valence Mark Howell and fellow staff member Mr. Farrell we have had some problems in that we wrote a slightly badly worded email to Mr. Farrell that he took the wrong way. This ended up causing both of them to pull out of doing any filming with us. They said they would answer some questions, but we decided in the end not to do it with them as they were being very uncooperative. Instead we moved to our next option which was Director of Rugby at Sevenoaks Rugby club who was very helpful and even took time out of his day off to film with us.

At the moment we are having some minor difficulties with the main subject of our film Sam Noss who being a teenager at school finds numerous reasons to be somewhere else when we need him. We should be filming with him tomorrow afternoon starting with some actuality with him and a some of his friends, then moving onto an interview with just him.

We will also be filming Jordan's Dad today who as a former rugby player can have a good input into our doc.
