Unfortunately, we encountered a lot of problems in securing interview subjects for our documentary.
We initially had 2 potential driving instructors that were available for the documentary, however, both became unavailable. Sonia then began contacting driving instructors in the local area and managed to find Paul - a driving instructor from Maidstone. This seemed to be secure - although, a week before the shoot, Paul stopped responding to Sonia's messages. We then tried to find another driving instructor but had no luck. We decided to settle with using the insurance broker as the only expert in the documentary.
As we couldn't find another instructor but still wanted to talk about learner drivers, Alex got in contact with his friend Aidan - a learner driver. Although this wouldn't be as good as talking to an instructor / expert - it would still give us an insight into what it is like to learn to drive from the perspective of someone taking the lessons.
Alex's dad also became unavailable, however, his grandparents were more than happy to step in and talk about their driving experiences instead. This actually may end up being a better plan as there will be even more differences between when they were learning to drive and what it's like to learn to drive today.
The insurance broker is still on board for participating in the documentary.
Alex is also still willing to be the presenter.
