Main Task - Diary Entry 6 and research

As a result of Paul (the main character) having broke his hand, it has become important for me to try to avoid being able to see it in the shot. therefore i decided to conduct some research looking at how the media such as soaps, films and dramas attempt to prevent issues such as pregnant actors or other injuries that have been sustained.

Particularly looking at british soaps, in which with-hold regular actors it is common for them to become injured and often for them to fall pregnant. Looking at Eastenders; the character of Tanya was pregnant therefore resulting in the camera only being able to take a shot of her from the shoulders up-wards. They even resulted in using costumes that were dark such as black, to make it harder to notice her pregnancy.
