LO2: Story-Board & Budget

The next images will look into the interviews that we will be conducting as shown below:

Looking at this image above you are able to see the following factors and reasons for including them: 

• We will be looking into how body weight affects young people, therefore their are image of males and females that we will be asking about this question to be able to see their response.
• Their will be a mixture of individuals asked within our documentary this ranging from a wide range of our year groups in school, this being from Year 7 to the 16+ department. 

The final image within our storyboard is shown below: 

We as a group will also be focusing on the following: 

• We will look into how celebrities influence young people
• As a group we will ask many individuals this question, this being once again to the young individuals, we will insure that their is both male and female individuals included.  
• We will also ask experts on the matter, from the images above we will insure that the way they are presented is in a positive light, this being in the sense of the environment they are in. To make the inforamtion that we are providing to the audience more serious to the audience, we will insure that we have them in an office area to show professionalism and more serious environment allowing more power to be provided to what they are saying.

LO2: Risk assessment

LO2: Recce photos of your chosen locations

Locations

Sidney stringer school is where we will be gaining most of our research from, we will be asking many young individuals in our school for their views.Sidney Stringer Academy, One of the areas we decided to record in was in School, this being that many individuals in school are what we are looking for, this in terms of age. We are looking for young individuals therefore a school will be a great way to get a mixture of different individuals within our production for media.

We as a group will also be going round in the different departments within the school to gain expert opinions. This being for example from the image above the sport facilities so that we are able to talk to the teachers who teach sport and see their views on body image. Furthermore we will go to areas such as the Humanities so that we are able to speak to a sociology and psychology teachers to see the impacts of body image mentally. And finally the nurses within the school to see their views on anorexia and bulimia. 

LO2: Expert Profiles & Interview Casting Agreements

Mrs. Baruchi (Psychology expert) - she is a teacher who studied Psychology in university and did a degree in that subject, so she will know how somebodies mind works, how their body language is and what it is portraying etc.

Joe from the gym - he is an ex body builder who trained and competed in big competitions around the world for bodybuilding. He also trained others to become body builders, he knows about the human body and how it works. He has knowledge in that subject more than just a normal man. 

Veronica (Counselor) - this person is like a mentor to the people who are having trouble with their lives, for example she talks to people who are getting bullied and are experiencing trouble with the school. She works in a school setting and she is a really good role model to the kids who don't have a voice for themselves.

Nurses - they will be interviewed as they will know what kids do outside of school etc, for example if they don't eat then they could confide in the nurse and tell them how they feel. Also the nurses will know about people and how they have affected by the media for example, girls and boys may go to the nurse to talk about their body image as they trust the nurses.

Female students (2) - two female students will be interviewed to find out how the media affects them and what they do. For example they may be affected by the media which makes them want to feel slimmer and look like their celebrity so by asking them how it has affected them we will be able to voice their opinions through our video.

Male students (2) - the male students will also be interviewed to find out how the media affects them and what they do. For example they may also be affected by the media which makes them want to feel bigger or trimmed down so that they look like their celebrity so by asking them how it has affected them we will be able to voice their opinions through our video.

Looking over the years allows a great opportunity for individuals to be able to see the change that beauty has had and what it is now. We are able to see the changes but also some developments. This can be a great way to introduce individuals to our documentary theme. Everyone is different so why is there so much pressure to be the same. 

LO2 : Interviewee’s questions

Physical aspects (Sport Facility area of School)

Some of the questions that we will be asking as a group is the following:

• In terms of physical appearance what is the ideal body image?

• Why do people go to the gym?

• Do you believe being skinny is being healthy or do you disagree, if so what do you think?

Media & General Questions to ask 

How/Does 

• The media manipulate body image?

• The media create that ideal body image?

•  The media impact individuals to the length & extent of suicide?

Nurses

• What is anorexia and bulimia?

• What is the average BMI (Body Mass Index)?

• Do you have any cases students or staff come to you because of either their weight loss or weight gain?

• Do you believe that media influences anorexia, if so how?

Mrs Bharuchi

• What type of effects can or does the body image have on someone’s mentality?

• Does the body image affect people’s self-esteem?

• Does the media affect someone’s image or the persons themselves? 

LO2: Treatment – a pitch to a TV channel

Our documentary idea looks at how does the media affect the self-perception of young people? We will look into the physical and mental impact of body image. We will also look at affecting factors to the body image such as plastic surgery, anorexia and bulimia. During filming we may decide to narrow some these topics down for a more specific focus and results.

As whole looking at our documentary we are able to see that a wide range of individuals will be interested in watching. The appeal in our target audience is for young people aged between 13 and older. The reason being that most individuals will be interested to see how the media impacts individual’s perception and also see if they are too. It is a great way for young people to have some relation to the information being provided. Furthermore our target audience can also include parents as they will be concerned about their children and may be very interested in the impact of media.

The time slot for our production will be around later periods in the evening this being that younger individuals will be watching television and therefore more interest can be created this way. Furthermore the timings that we as a group feel best suit our documentary is around 6pm- 9.30pm. We are interested in having our documentary aired on channels such as BBC Three as they are well known for documentaries and BBC One. These will be our interest for our documentary to be on.

 In terms of our group budget we are able to see that it will not be very expensive for us to conduct as we will only be requiring limited amount of technology and will only be using one camera. However it may cost us more to gain professional and expert witnesses as they may be more reluctant to star in our production. However as a whole we as a group are able to say that our budget in filming will be at an acceptable pricing for us to be able to cover.
