Opening Voiceover
In Britain on average a person eats 4.2 sandwiches a week. Sandwiches have been getting a bad press lately with the popularity of fast food sandwiches growing, such as Subway and the McDonalds deli menu. The sandwich industry itself is fast growing now employing over 300,000 people but is it the perfect lunch or is it responsible for the deteriorating health of the nation?
Before nurse
Although the sandwich strives to be a healthier alternative, do we really know what goes in to our favourite products and what are the healthy benefits we get from them?
Before dinner lady
Jamie Oliver has took up the cause of improving the nations school dinners, but with all this media attention are they really as healthy as they are made out to be?
Before food tech teacher
Results show that when it comes to food children would rather have the unhealthy option because it’s easier and supposedly tastier. However schools are the fore front of trying to educate children that healthy doesn’t mean boring and tasteless.

Interview - Food Technology Teacher
Healthy eating and school dinners were brought into our documentary through the other interviews, so we decided to do an interview with a food teacher.
These were the question we asked her:-
1. Why do you think young people are choosing to make sandwiches instead of cooking a meal?
2. Do you think that sandwiches are a healthier option for lunch and why?
3. What are people's cooking skills like when they come to this school?
4. Tell me about the sandwich project you teach n year 7.
5. Why do you teach it?
6.Whats your percect lunch and why?
7. Do you think pupils should be taught healthy cooking from an earlier age and why?
8. Whats your favourite sandwich?
This interview was successfull, although we had to stop and start this interview a couple of times as we were in a classroom and pupils and other teachers would be talking or walking around. Overall, the teacher gave very detailed answers and we will be able to use most of the questions in our final documentary

Stop Motion Animation - Title Scene
Whilst thinking of ways to do our title scene we came across a stop motion video on youtube of somebody making pancakes, so we thought it would be a good idea to do it making a sandwich. Although very time consuming we tried 3 different was to make it work such as using a video camera, a digital camera and a webcam.
The video camera didnt work as it would of taken a long time to edit the footage.
The digital camera didnt work because when we looked back at the pictures they changed from light to dark.
Our final option was a webcam that allowed us to view our picture before we took the next one, so if the lighting wasn't right we could change it for the next one.

Interview - School Nurse
From our first interview with the sandwich shop owner we had asked whether he thought sandwiches were a healthy option or not. So we decided to add in a healthy eating side to our documentary (although still based on healthy sandwiches), and went for a second opinion with The questions we asked her were:-
This interview was very successful as she gave full and long answers to the questions we asked her. The mise-en-scene was also good as we had her sat infront of healthy eating and sandwich posters.

Vox Pop
The quetion that we asked the people in our Vox Pop was "What is your favourite sandwich?". The filming was done in liscard which had to get filmed twice as the first one had wrong framing of the people, the sound quality wasnt good and because we had based the camera outside subway we found that people were reading from the window signs.
The second filming was much better as we had a better range of people from all ages, clearer sound, the right framing and we found that people didnt base their option on subway sandwiches.

3. What made you want to run a sandwich shop?
4. Tell me about a typical day here?

8. What would you consider the perfect lunch?
9. How do you come up with new fillings to put in the sandwiches and do you test them first or just put them on sale?
10. Do you have regulars and if so, do they always get the same?
11. What do you think the appeal is of sandwiches?
12. Do you do requests and if so, what was the most unusual?
13. What are the most and least popular sandwiches bought?
Before the interview we filmed cutaways that went with the questions and had to film some of the questions twice as he had customers and he also looked at the camera a couple of times. Overall this interview was successful and we will be using most of the questions in our final documentary.
