1- Hollie Wollaston (participant)
I rang Hollie to ask her if when she would be able to do the documentary as she is a close friend who i can rely on and i told her i was aiming to do the recording of the 5 days without sleep between the 10th to the 20th maximum. So i would need to start the 5 days by at least the 15th of June. She said that her school exams will end on the 9th of June so she is happy to partake in the study and we agreed that she can drop out of it anytime if she feel ill or incapable of staying up any longer.
2- John Calvert (participant + Friend of participants [get opinion] )
When i was taking to John Calvert on the phone i asked him if he was happy to partake in a study where he will not sleep for the goal of 5 days, but he can drop out any time he feels like during the period of time. He was happy to partake but asked when i would be doing the study due to his 6th form exams. I mentioned i was aiming between the 10th to 15th june to start filming. He said that he would be unable to partake due to focusing on his exams that will not finish until the end of June. John did ask if he could do a could of cognitive testing on me and the other testy to track the effects of sleep deprivation as he is doing psychology for A-level and it would be useful for him as well as extra, backup, footage for me. We agreed that he will do the cognitive testing as well as spending one of the days with me
3- Alice Golding (Friend of participants [get opinion] )
I asked Alice if she would be happy being interviewed a few times during the sleep depravation study about how it is like to be around people who have not slept. Also i added that i would like her to spend a fairly large amount of time with the people doing the study but not partake due to child protection laws. She was happy to do a couple of interviews to give her opinion on the study and she is very close to the participants so it will not be a problem to spend time with them. I will also need to get written consent of the parents to ensure i am following any laws that could be breached from having a minor in the documentary. I will obtain this written evidence closer to the date of production.
4- Aridam Kumar (GP)
5- Jillian Wollaston (Nurse)
When i phoned up Jillian we discussed that topic and what i would like to get out of the documentary. She agreed that she would try to keep space for the interview but would like to have a meeting booked at a closer time incase of unexpected situations come up. For a rough date we agreed the 18th June at her house. She explained that he does not have the most in-depth knowledge of sleep deprivation but would still be able to explain the majority of my questions.

9- The London Sleep Centre
When i contacted the London Sleep Centre they first wanted to know the details of my study and what their involvement would be. I told them i was making a documentary for A-level media about sleep and would like to have an interview with any of the stuff to get an inside opinion on the topic. the receptionist said that they only see people for the therapy and would have to book an appointment. I then told them that i would not be able to because i am not in need for the therapy session and i do not have the funds to pay for one. I then asked if i could talk to one of the experts now to see if i could interview them in their free time but the reception repeated again to me that they only can book appointments. I thanked them for their time and they then hung up. I will not be able to get an interview with the London Sleep Centre.

12- Michelle Simpson
I did not need to ring up or email Michelle as i live with her. She agreed that she would allow me to interview her serval times during the study to give a mothers opinion on what i am setting out to do and how she thinks it has effected me. As a parent she would know my usual behaviour patten quite well therefore she is a good person to get interviews about my own behaviour change.
13- Darren Simpson
I did not need to ring up or email Michelle as i live with her. He agreed that she would allow me to interview him serval times during the study to give a fathers opinion on what i am setting out to do and how he thinks it has effected me. As a parent they would know my usual behaviour patten quite well therefore are good people to get interviews about my own behaviour change.
14- Sophie Roberts (Friend of participants [get opinion] )
Sophie is good friend of both myself and Hollie Wollaston (the other participant of the study) Sophie agreed that she could come round to see us at least one day of the study as she is not busy between the 10th-20th of June too much and would sort out a day to come round with the other friends of mine and hollies as it would allow a group opinion of the study from different viewing angles. Bethany was with Sophie at the time of the phone call therefor she also agreed to the same terms.
15- Bethany Hall (Friend of participants [get opinion] )
When asking Sophie Roberts Bethany Hall was also there allowing me to ask her though Sophie, saving time. She agreed to the same conditions as Sophie and would be happy to come to my house one day of the study to just have a normal "relaxing time with friends" as quoted by myself during the phone call. and have a small interview to explain her opinion on the topic.
16- James Golding (Friend of participants [get opinion] )
James said that he would be able to spend some time during the study with me but might not be able to come the same day the other people may arrive. i told him it quite important to have them all there at the same time as it gives a more real felling to the event than just having him round. He then said on the phone, "well i'll see, I most likely will be able to come but i can promise anything." I then said thanks and explain about the short 1min interview and we ended the called agreeing on all terms and putting him down as a maybe of coming to the gathering of friends.
17- SleepMed Inc. (experts on sleep)
18- Toby Wollaston (Hollies Brother)
When talking to Toby though hollies phone i asked him if he would be willing to give me a short video log, himself explaining how she has changed at home, or have an interview about it with the camera man and the person i would ask to be the Interviewer while I'm doing the study. He seemed very interested and agreed to the request. I told him i would ask him closer to the time as well to make sure he is still up for having the interview.
19- Grandparents (Evelyn & Ray)
When i told them about the project they where not too happy about the idea as it could be very dangerous and they are worried about me. I told them that i got everything under control and that i have organised people to stay with me the majority of the time period i will be taking part in the test and that i would not force myself to the point of major damage. They said they would be ok with the interview if i need it but are worried in the behalf of my health. I ensured them i have everything under control in a stable environment and will most likely send one of my friends ground (most likely alice as they know her well) to do the interview as i would not be in the best shape to be presenting an interview.
