In todays lesson, i have been scripting the interview with someone who is meant to have been affected by tanning. Nassia will take on this role. I also wrote part of the voiceover to try and make the transition smoother.
Here is what ive written so far, obviously nassia can change it into her own words so shes more confidnent and comfortable in what she's saying.
Voice over: It seems young people are in the high risk group of getting skin cancer but many feel like they’ve not been informed about its dangers as well as they should have been.
Nassia: I’ve been tanning since I was about 15. It started off just casual and mainly because my friends were doing it and then after a while I started doing because I wanted to look good and I started to become uncomfortable without it. At first it would be once a month maybe, sometimes even less but over a period of a few years it got to the stage where I would go in almost twice a week. You hear there are risks but you overlook it, you don’t really take it in until someone tells you directly or even shows you the damage you are doing to yourself. What you see on TV are these beautifully tanned women and you forget that just like you, they’re putting their health at risk to achieve this look. I really think if someone had said to me sooner “look, these are the risks…” I would have done things differently, i'd have been more careful.

Voiceover: Nicola Roberts 1/5 of renowned girl band girls aloud has been part of an on-going campaign to expose the dangers of tanning. Her recent documentary “The Truth About Tanning” is one of the first public condemnations of the tanning industry by a celebrity. Her bold attempt to make a stand against tanning with the help of some of the country’s leading health professionals has sparked debate as to whether or not more needs to be done to protect young people. Although Nicola had strong input into the law changes in 2010 to change the age restriction from 16 to 18 years old, she still feels more should be done. Dr Fuller shares these views.
