Hits The Fan

After spending the last two weeks planning for our documentry, our main charachter who we were basing the documentry on has disapeared and is unreachable. So rather than waste any more time trying to contact him we have changed the idea of our documentry and basing it on someone completely different. Because most of our group havn't lived in England for the past 5 years, it was difficult for us to think of any contacts we had that would be interesting. Then all of a sudden, one of our group members got speaking to a member of the Oxygen Thievz, who are a griffiti group from Nottingham.
All members of our group were interested in following this up, and nathan one of the group members said he was more than happy to help. The documentry is mainly going to be focused on him, but also include other members of the group. Their work can be seen around Nottingham, and since they have been brought to our attention I have noticed some of their work.(Mansfield Road, on the side of the Ohmygosh record shop)

Here are some of the points and questions of our documentry -
1.How he/they got into graffiti
2.Urban Art
3.Do you think it should be considered an art of criminal offence?
4.How have they gone from breaking the law, to being asked by the council to run workshops, and spray designs in places around the city.
5.Insight into an urban artist
6.Getting an insight into the emotion behind graffiti. i.e. what their tags mean
7.Is graffiti an escape?
8.Does the illegal element attract you to it initially?
9.Have you ever been caught?

Our target audience is art fans, and people who appreciate art no matter what type it is. And generally give an insight into graffiti. Our group is meeting up over the next couple of days and the weekend to finalise ideas and storyboard.
