final pitch
TRANSCRIPT
Tattoos and Jobs
Tattoos are they really that cool?We meet people who value ink more than their
skin. Will they regret it? The views will change as I find out why people get such public tattoos.

Content and Duration
Initial ideas
• Urbex
• Tattoos
• Gaming
Feed back on initial ideas
• Urban exploration: Good but possible health and safety issues
• Gaming idea: interesting but may be really difficult to contact gaming companies

Development of idea
• Fills a gap as there are documentary about tattoos and jobs separately but not any on how tattoos affect people getting the jobs they would like.
Research into content
Facts and figures• One fifth of British adults are now 'inked’.
• Tattoos, suddenly, are everywhere. According to one survey this month, a fifth of all British adults have now been inked (as contemporary usage has it). Among 16- to 44-year-olds, both men and women, the figure rises to 29%. Only 9% of over 60s have one, according to a survey of 1,000 adults by the Ask Jeeves website, but 16% of people aged between 30 and 44 have two. The survey, while not entirely scientific, is in line with a 2008 US study showing that 36% of Americans aged 18-25, 40% of those aged 26-40 and 10% of those aged 41-64 have a tattoo. America, Woody reckons, is "probably about a decade ahead in terms of popularity”.
Costing and budgetHyperthetical Budget£3000As this would be for rental cameras which when resesrched I found them for £450 a day
