Becoming a Actor

Dammy Kudusn

Synopsis

My idea is about a documentary which explores the issues about young people who want to become actors, but are shown the door which leaves them unemployed. The Documentary would fit in at 8pm because it is the time of the day where a family would sit down at the TV altogether. I will need some young actors who have been both successful and unfortunate. I will need a well known actor who has experienced both being successful and unsuccessful. My documentary will include many ethnic groups and disability's. I will make sure iinterview a range of people for example i will interview some Asian, black, white and disabled children and see how all there opportunities are limited due to there race or capability. I will also include a wide range of music.(UK based)
