Previously I submited for my final pitch for this module that I wanted to:
Shoot a heart warming event, like a run, and make it into a magazine.
I want to capture people participating in the race and interview them to find out about their story. I also want to capture teh heartwarming moments that take place during a race, for example at then end when families reuinte. These moments to me speake 1000 words.
I will then compile this into a 8 page magazine spread with a avriety of landscape and portrait picturfes that compliment the article.
Although I will still be doing this, I have now decided to widen my scope.
So, I will also focus my features around the beauty of running. This can then still include the charity side and I can do an interview with someone running at the event. As well as interviewing someone who runs for their own benefit and mental health, and perhaps someone who has made a running group and runs for the social side. This would then be four solid interviews, I can include secondary data about running and get far more photos.
I have decided to do this as it will give me mopre room for pictures and writting as following my interview ith St Gemma’s Hospice, I felt I may struggle. Also because recently, I feel like running has really taken off in a whole new way.
In light of this, I have found a running group and an individual(s) all willing to participate. I have arrange interveiws with all, here are the questions:
Individual runner:
- Full name and age
- Why did you start running?
- How did you find it at first?
- How long have you been running for?
- How far do you run?
- How often do you run?
- What reasons do you run?
- What physical effects have you noticed?
- What mental effects have you noticed?
- How has running impacted you?
- What feelings do you get when you run/after?
- Can you describe ‘runners high’?
- Have you done any races?
- If so, what was that experience like for you?
- What would you say is the best thing for you about running?
- What would you say to someone who wants to start running?
- Anything else you would like to say or feel as though my questions have missed?
