Progress Update:

- Well this wednesday and the last have been a mess! I was supposed to finish my survey last wednesday, but I had to do my LNAT exam so I pushed the time for filming a bit later - my camerawoman got confused and was unable to make it. So I rescheduled it for this wednesday - both camerawomen were unavailable. I know my production schedule allows for flexibility, but I hate when things dont go to plan!
- Thursday 24th = an interview with a friend
- Friday 25th = interview with plastic surgeon. I am uber excited. I hope it will all go to plan!


Will update again by the end of the week...

Pilot Study

Rebecca suggested that I conduct a pilot study - which I did. I did the pilot study on 10 random people; I received positive feedback but some of the improvements included:
- have tick boxes instead of having the respondent circle things in.
- (question 3) "how would you describe your nationality?" - the options are not clear e.g. "Shouldn't 'Black African' be 'Black British' instead of having "British" separate? I have decided to reconsider the options available for this question.
- (question 4) "Do you believe that there is a 'mathematical formula' for beauty?" - a few of the respondents were confused by the question and so having an explanation of what this is (before the question) may help.
- (question 7) "Why do you think that less ethnic models are represented in fashion, magazines etc?" - some of the respondents were confused as to what "ethnic" meant and felt the space available to write was too small. To solve this, I will add in brackets what I mean by "ethnic" as to prevent confusion and create a larger space to write an answer.
- (question 10) "What does 'beauty' mean to you?"- one of the respondents said having this as a closed question wouldn't allow people with other perceptions of beauty to answer how they really feel. Although I understand this, having this question as a broad question would make it harder for me to analyse the question, especially as people would come up with various definitions of beauty.
