SECONDARY RESEARCH
Ghosts
Here is an article we found off the BBC news website which
gives us information about how we would know if we were in a presence of a ghost. Because this article is wrote by a journalist even tough it can be very opinionated, a professional is writing it therefore our audience would be more likely to listen and consider these opinions. This article also gives locations of where it has been said to see evidence of the paranormal, which is in Hampton court. Here they recorded any unusual experiences ad footsteps, the results from this were high as participants recorded a higher number of unusual experiences.
We also came across these news article which as you can see tells us well known motorways where people have claimed to see Ghosts. I think this would be appealing to our audience because the M6 is a well known motorway and i feel that our audience as a young age , will be able to relate because they have either been or drove on the M6 at maybe some point of their lives.
Fortune Telling
Horoscopes

Fortune Telling
Horoscopes
We then found a website that you can interact with for free and get your fortunes read.
Here are a few images of the steps and what it told us.
In our documentary we wanted to suggest the media was a big involvement within fortune telling and the supernatural. A good example of this is Horoscopes, which appear in newspapers, magazines, Internet, phone calls, and most of these have charges which are very unnecessary.
For our documentary we have the option to contain 30seconds or less, or archive footage for example things like, news reports, advertisements and radio advertisements. Because in our documentary it focuses on the theme of how much money fortune tellers make and the media behind it, the medias major influence in how it has become a growing trend and so popular to be involved in our everyday lives, an example of this is horoscopes. We thought by using archive footage we could give some good examples of advertisements and films that relate to fortune telling, and demonstrate visual evidence of the point we are trying to suggest in our documentary.
We wanted to include the Britney spears advert 'Radiance' in our documentary because it shows parts of a fortune teller. This archive footage would be a good piece of material to use in our documentary because it could show how much the media has become involved with advertising fortune tellers its in an advert completely irrelevant advertising perfume. Also by showing this footage it gives our audience good idea of the stereotypical perception of a fortune teller and how the media perceives them .
When looking into different types of archive footage to use we thought paranormal activity the film, using parts of the trailer or just small clips of the film could grab our audiences attention, because we are focusing overall on the supernatural. Using this clip could also show what types of things is coming up and what we will be focusing on further on in the documentary.
PRIMARY RESEARCH
Here are some statics we found from the questionnaires in the target audience research.
20 out of 30 said they believed in the Supernatural.
15 out of 30 said they would go and pay for a fortune telling
18 out of 30 said they read horoscopes and 12 of them said they believed they were true
15 out of 30 said they think fortune telling are true, and the other 15 said false.
Looking for additional secondary research myself and our group went to Warrington library and explored the Supernatural genre. We gathered information, biased and non biased from books, publicity and non fiction.
When we were exploring into the supernatural we read several books and popular name kept appearing. 'Sylvia Browne' She is a Psychic who has written many popular books and Internet websites. 
We concluded that this women has claimed to be a Psychic by writing many knowledgeable books that the public begin to believe what she claims is true. This shows how easily influenced the general public can be by the Media, from websites and books.

When visiting one of the Internet sites we where shocked that it asked you straight away to join her ''Inner circle'' that is a membership that you have to pay for monthly.
