One way to show statistics

We next looked at a way of showing some of the statistics that we have, on addiction. We decided to take inspiration from the TV program 'Embarrassing Bodies' where they show the audience their statistics on what type of diseases that are most common in women for example. It is just a better way of looking at it, than a black screen with writing on it. Looking at a  coloured screen with faded images in the background that relate to what they are talking about, is a lot better.

Something like this could be used in our editing because our documentary is quite bright and visual, so a black screen might take away that meaning. Something vibrant in the background of the statistics would keep our audience focused on the screen and they would probably be likely to actually read them.

I have found some examples of statistics that agree with what one of our interviewee's have said:

• 1 in 3 users would rather go a week without sex than give up their device- NBCNEWS.com
• 21% would rather starve than go without their mobile phones 'Daily Mail'
