Questions
Hi Eloise, I'm Sophie Moore and you have very kindly agreed for my colleague, Sam and I to come in on Wednesday 28th October, to film an interview with Darryn at 3:30 pm.
You asked for a list of questions which I would like to put to Darryn so I have listed 12 below in no particular order:
How did you get started into the media business?
What is your role in the company? Are you still taking pictures yourself?
Has your business been affected by the recession?
How did Mr Paparazzi evolve with the idea of the public supplying pictures?
Do you find yourself getting involved with lots of legal cases?
How has the definition of the word ‘celebrity’ changed over the past ten years?
How has reality T.V affected the business? Easier or harder to get access to ‘celebrities’?
Do you develop good and bad relationships with certain celebrities?
Do you find celebrities come to you for help?
The public are known to have controversial views towards the paparazzi, how do you feel about this?
Why do you think there is such a high demand for pictures of celebrities? How does the public react to them?
It has been said that celebrities have an obligation to the public, but why do you think some are resistant about having their pictures taken?
Hope that's ok, if there are any concerns please e-mail me before the interview.
Many Thanks, look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday,
Sophie Moore

Interview
In preperation for the interview, Sam and I have practised using the equipment effectively. We set up a pretend interview with different lighting and different angles experimenting with the camera. This will help us when we go to do an interview with Darryn as we will know what shots we would like. The shooting of the interview is taking place this Tuesday 27th October from 11am at Big Pictures office in London.
The equipment we experimented with includes, a video camera, a tripod and a microphone.
On the 27th, Sam and I will already be in London shooting the interview so depending on how long it lasts, we may be able to go and take some shots such as the presenter walking down Oxford Street afterwards.
Looking at the positioning of the interviewee in the screen, we will conform to the conventions of a documentary and position to either side of the screen.

Reply from Darryn Lyons
We have just recieved an email from Elise Bucholtz, pa@bigpictures.co.uk, confirming the chance of an interview. Below is the email.
Hi Sophie,
Thanks for the email.
I am more than happy to set up an interview with Darryn.
In terms of times, he can do the following:
Mon 26th Oct-11am onwards
Tues 27th Oct-11am onwards
Thurs 29th Oct-11 am onwards
As soon as Darryn is back on the 2nd October he has to go away again for a week or so on business to France, so i cannot get anything sooner.
I hope one of those times is suitable and i will wait to hear from you.
King Regards,
Elise
This is really good news that we have heard back so soon and can now arrange for the interview to go ahead.

Letter
We are currently working on producing a letter/email to send to Perez Hilton and Darryn Lyons. We hope to hear from them within a week, then we can make any arrangments if an interview is possible. If it is not possible to get an interview any correspondance from them would be great.
Below is the email we have sent.
To whom it may concern at Mr Paparazzi,
My name is Sophie Moore and I am currently working towards an A-level in Media Studies. My colleague and I are currently working on a documentary featuring the opposing views towards the Paparazzi.
Would it be possible to arrange an interview with Darryn Lyons or one of his colleagues? The information will only be used for educational purposes and will not be displayed to the public in any form.
We are currently working with a strict deadline and would appreciate any correspondence.
Thank You,
Yours Sincerely,
