Interview with Nuz Shugaa - Friday 5th March 2010

So today we interviewed Nuz Shugaa as you all know already only 4 of us from the whole group where allowed to go plus 2 adults who where Ms Saba and Safiyyah's Mum (Mrs Atia). We were all hoping we would miss some lessons,  but Ms Saba made sure that we only missed the last period that was meant to be tutorial but everyone was doing the BBC School Report things.

As it was in Mayfair, it didn't take that long to get there. But whilst we were on the train we had our lunch and Fatimah (Interviewer) practiced her questions that were to be asked. Once we had arrived at Mayfair it was time to find where The Beauty Lounge was, so we decided to have a mini race from the station to The Beauty Lounge. Safiyyah (Camera Woman), Fatimah (Interviewer)and Mrs Atia went by bus and then walked and Hamna (Director), Safa (Nuz Shugaa's niece & Presenter) and Ms Saba took a different route and walked the whole way. Of course, Mrs Atia's team won !!!

Once we had got to The Beauty Lounge where Nuz Shugaa was, we looked around and were shown the products that Nuz used that were all NOT Animal Tested. We just realised that there are so many non-animal tested products out there that we can get hold of so easily and that's you doing your input to raise awareness and hopefully STOP Animal Testing. We decided where Nuz would be filmed and then it was decided Fatimah (Interviewer) would not be shown in the interview but would be heard. With one or two giggles we were underway with the filming. Safa and Hamna decided to take a few photos from outside, which will be uploaded soon. It was actually harder to film because we had much more background noise as it was along a street and there was many passers-by.

Filming was finally over and Nuz was quite surprised as when she is interviewed and filmed by other magazines and companies it almost takes 7 hours! Luckily it did not take us that long. We went upstairs and looked at the treament rooms and took photos with Nuz in different places. On the way back to school we discussed how well the filming had gone but we had caught a little bit of the rush-hour with people going back home from work but at least we got some seats after walking so much!

I (Safiyyah) or Ayunie should be updating the blog soon, so look out!
