The TV program that i watched this week was My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, which is a series of documentary's around the lives of gypsys and there beliefs and culture.There would have to be a sufficent about of research to be done for this program to be made. The researcher would have to look into locations where gypsys live and make sure that it is possible to shoot on there, also look into the individual people that was going to film. The researcher would have to made sure that they got permission from every single person to be filmed and to make sure that they know the rough background and beliefs of them. They also would have to sort out every interview that had been undertook, one over main thing that the researcher would have to do is make sure that everything that he or she had done had been written up and given to the director. They would also have to have thought creatively and come up with ideas that maybe the director didn't.
Personally I feel that this show is very revealing of the gypsy's lives and I find that my opinion has definitely changed and the stereotype that was created before this documentary has differed. One view that I have about the children on the show is that they are exploited and that there lives are planned out before they are old enough to realise and the women on the show have no choose in what they do. Overall as a viewer my opinion would be different but as a researcher the show works very well.
