Our documentary

By Luke, Alice and Judith.

Brief

Our idea for a new documentary TV programme will include:

•An extract from the documentary. Approximately five minutes long.

•A double page spread from a listing magazine focused on the documentary.

•A newspaper advertisement for the documentary.

Channel?

•Channel

We have chosen to have our documentary on Channel 4 for a few reasons.

We like the style of Channel 4 as they usually have the presenter being the voice of God too. We think that, that effect will make our documentary more professional.

Choosing a station to broadcast a documentary has a lot to do with the target audience. On Channel 4 at the moment, there are many documentaries about teenagers. We think that our documentary will fit in to Channel 4 because of our documentary being about teenage life.

Narrative•We will be looking at how adolescence has changed in 30 years and why has it changed.

•We will be doing this by comparing a boy and a girl in their teenage years nowadays and looking to see how teenage life has changed.

•Interviews with older generations comparing with day in the life of the two young teens will show how different teenage life is.

•Covert and overt filming will make our research veryaccurate as we can talk to the teenagers overtly but film there actually daily life and routine covertly.

People in the documentary

• The “voice of God”

• An average teenage boy- around 16-18 years old.

• An average teenage girl- around 16- 18 years old.

• Two females and one male from the older generation who will be interviewed.

The sub genre

•Expository ‘voice of god’ style of documentary

•The same voice will do the voiceover and the interviewing in person.

•Some music will be over the background to give a chilled and cool effect.

•Unbiased- the documentary will not take sides.

Target Audience•Adults that were teenagers around 30years ago as they can see for themselves how much teenage life has actually changed and if it is how the media portray it.

•Adults who stereotype teenagers would also fall under our target audience as the documentary will show them the truth.

•Also teenagers themselves will be interested in how their generation is being portrayed.

Our projectOur documentary will be-

•5 minutes long.•Interesting.•Idea exploring.•Stylistic.•Have the narrator interviewing people during our documentary.
