Final Major project: Research

So to start the ball rolling with our documentary, we needed to start thinking about what we would like to focus our story on. We originally liked the idea of focusing on the Poppy Appeal, which would look at how the Poppy Appeal was created, what it does, how the money is collected and where the money goes.

I started to make some contacts within the RBL and started at the top with the head of Public Relations for the RBL, Becky Warren. I had a conversation over the phone with Becky which we discussed our project and what we aim to do. Here is a copy of the email I sent her after our conversation about our work.

Since we had the go ahead, we could carry on with some contacts which I had previously made at the Maidstone branch of the British Legion who run their branch from 7 Marsham Street in Maidstone.
