Symptoms of Endometriosis

I have used a online software program called 'Prezi', I feel is great way to present your work differently then using powerpoint or bullet point lists.

The reason I know of prezi is because I used it during my A level days.

Below I have attached the prezi powerpoint along with a chart of other symptoms.

This list is provide by Endometriosis UK

My Gynoecologist

I visited my gynecologist on Friday 18th September for my after op check up. During my check up a mentioned about the documentary that I was hoping to create and she became really interested and told me to email her a bit more about it.

Synopsis

I have written my Synopsis above for my documentary, which will hopefully help me write a treatment.

Spoke to Katy today

I was in a lecture this morning and deiced to check my emails during it and saw that Katy had emailed me again.

The messages below:

 Katy did call me after 3pm and we had a really good chat, I wanted to film one of there events which was coming up on 26th September, but because of the short notice I wasn't able too, but Katy told me to get in touch with them in October and she could set up a meeting with Jane for me to have a chat with her. 

Also I was looking throw the Endometriosis UK web sit and came across this short documentary on how the charity works.

Katy's reply

Today I heard back from Katy, which was such a relief as I was worried I would never get a reply back and I didn't want to be a pain and carry on sending emails. 

I reply back almost straight away. 

Endometriosis Information Videos

I went on to Youtube to see if I could find some documentaries on Endometriosis. I came across a few, mostly of the ones I found were produced in America. There interesting with lost of information on Endometriosis and there symptoms but there very lecture like with lost of interviews and not enough footage.

This really helps me with how I want to style my documentary and make it more interesting visually aswell as in facts.

Below are two of the videos I found:

Pitch presentation from Catringc

Above is the pitch that I have done. This is due for Friday 25th September. I find my pitch with a bit too much wording and not enough diagrams, but I'm hoping that as this year goes by I will be able to the words on the pitch into a visual aspect. 

Book on Endometriosis

I got this book out of the university library, its really helpful on Endometriosis and has digrams showing were the disease can spread too.

Wating to hear form Katy

I understand that Endometriosis UK is really busy but I have waited a week and still have heard nothing, so I emailed Katy again with the hope that I will hear from her. Above is the email that I send to Katy.

Endometriosis UK

This morning I was doing some research into Endometriosis and trying to find helpful information about the disease.

I suddenly came across this charity called 'Endometriosis UK' and there based in London. Link: Endometriosis UK

I was so happy and straight away found there contact number and called them.

I spoke to Katy who is there fundraising and social media assistant, she was so helpful and very up for helping me out with my documentary, she told me how September is a really busy time for as they have many events going on with raising awareness about Endometriosis.

Katy told me to email her more information on what I would like to do with my documentary as she would pass it on to Jane who is the chief executive of the charity.

This is my email that I send to Katy after the phone conversation finished.








Below is a prezi mind map of Katy and I emailing each other back and form today:

Jazz De Lisser

When I was in six form collage, gosh that was 5 years ago, how dose time fly! I studied Film studies at Hampstead Fine Arts, where I learnt about film making and I made a documentary of my passed.

What inspired me to do this was this documentary by a former pupil Jazz De Lisser who has Hepatitis C and her documentary is now used by the NHS to help others with Hepatitis C.

 I would like to would really like to create a documentary that can be used to inform women around the world on Endometriosis.

Jazz documentary is less than 7 minutes long, but its interesting, has information and hope and that's what I want my documentary to be.

Second Idea

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis about four months ago.

Endometriosis is a condition where the lining of the wombs tissue is found outside the womb and has spread through out your body.

It is a condition effects many women but is unknown.

I would like to bring more awareness to the disease and make women understand how serious it can be if its left alone.
