Ibrahim HashimzayUnit 4 IDEA 1

6thform lifestyle

Q1. Should we go college or sixth form? More support from teacher / Staying with your friends

A- Level Pressure

The same environment/ The same people / teachers

The documentary will focus on the differences between sixth form and college and they benefits between them, such as, sixth form is more familiar because you know the teachers, and students so it's much easier to socially adapt to sixth form, whereas

colleges you get to make new friends and impress new teachers.So the choice is up to you!

The reason this idea inspired me is because I want to find out about people future and what there career aims are.

Target AudienceMy primary target audiences for my documentary would be

teenagers age 16-19 both Male and Female because Sixth from contains students from

this age group and has wide range of hobbies and interest for their future. This will

appeal to young people, because they are concern about their future and will

make them realize the benefit of college and sixth form and will help them in

building up their confidence.

My secondary audience for my documentary would be parents and career advisor

such as connection to advise them about their future. They always play a big key

role in the students life to show what is beneficial for their future and what is

not.

Mode (type of documentary)The mode of my documentary will be Fly on the wall. The

reason why I chose this mode is because It will be a real life situations

supposedly made without affecting the behavior of the participants and

to portraythe situation as if you are there.

Also for my documentary Fly on the wall will link to the observational

mode as I am going to present a greater sense of realism/truth without

intervention.

ConventionsThe convention that I am going to use in my documentary will be voice over,Past footage, Interview, technicality of realism, real footage, visual coding,

soundand reconstruction.

Voice over

The voiceover will encourage the audience to believe that they have some inside

knowledge about what is happening . In this case when we watched ‘Biggie and

Tupac’ documentary by Nick Broomfield he used lots of voice over from past footages to make people to pay more attention.

Reconstructions

Re-creating scenes that I cannot film.

Past footage

Past footages will help aid my documentary by giving me support to add more information

that I cannot get. Also it is essential to convince the audience that the footages are real

and unchanged.

Interview with an expert

I will use interview in order to confirm the views expressed in my documentary. Sometimes

the audience might disagree with my documentary message but I will disprove them in

some way.

Technicality of realism

I will include natural sound , lighting and locations in my documentary like Nick

Broomfield’s used in Biggie and Tupac when they run out of sound.

Real footage

Adding real footage will make my documentary seem as real as possible, using as little non-

fiction work or footage as possible like Nick. Broomfield's which he did in his documentary

about Biggie and Tupac to make the audience think that you are there.

Visual coding In my documentary I will be using things like mise en scene and props. For

example a person using doctors equipment such as wearing white coat and wearing a

stethoscope will make you question.

Sound

Listen out for the use of sound that cannot be heard by the film's characters, audience and

background. And make the audience think that why and what effects does it have? Is

sound used as a bridge between scenes and if so what meaning are made?

Purpose The reason why I am making this documentary is to help students by giving them advise to make the right choice fortheir future and don’t feel under pressure.

Also the purpose of my documentary would be to be able to show the reality of sixth form and college from eyes of the people that are currently living with wrong decisions that they made. Also to educate students about the society how people live their life in Sixth form and College.

Mode of AddressThe mode of address for my documentary will

informative because I am advising the audience by telling them something. In my mode of address I will using

images to dress up my documentary and not make my

documentary boring.

My documentary mode of address needs to show a clear

impression in order to catch audience attention and make

them on the edge of their seats with entertaining scene and

well captured location.

Length The length of my documentary will

approximately 5 minute. The reason for this is that short documentary are made professional. Also

longer than 5 minutes it becomes boring to watch

and audience would like it.

DistributionI will distribute my documentary in BBC Three

channel because they engage with similar Subjects and

issues that matter to young people age 16-19 both male and

female which will be a benefit for my documentary.

Idea 2 1. Why cricket is a game of mixed ethnicities at a pro and semi pro level but

in some schools level it’s been segregated?

I will focus on the idea that cricket as a sport is still quite segregated- with the focus on chestnut school as an example

Look at the history of the sport and race referring to the fire of Babylon.

Look at the English cricket team.

Ravi bopara

Samit Patel

It is not just ethnicity but religion as well

Target AudienceMy primary target audience will be younger

people age15-19 only male who plays cricket and are interested in sport.

My secondary target audience will be older people

age 25-40 who are cricket fun and are interested in

sport.

ModeMy documentary will be linking to investigative mode andParticipatory mode . The reason why I chose both as I am going to be interviewing people internally and externally in my documentary. I want my documentary to be more enjoyable to make the audience think more what’s going to happen next. It will be a real life situations documentary catching the real glimpses of the real world.

Also for my documentaryparticipatory the participatory modewould would welcome direct engagement betweenmyself and the subjects – I will become part of the event beingrecorded I the filmmaker will impact on the events being recordedis recognized, certainly, it is often distinguished.

Mode of addressThe mode of address will be Formal because the costume that I will

wear will be smart casual clothing when I am interviewing my interviewer. My

documentary will be set in different location such as school, cricket club, MCC

and in Middlesex County Cricket Club.

In my documentary I will not use slang language as it will effect my presentational style to audience.

PurposeTo investigate the issue of why cricket is a

game of mixed ethnicities at a pro and semi pro level but in some schools level it’s been segregated?

With regards to international sport, otherwise it will be racism or segregation.

Sport should be an encouraging game.For example if you look at the fire of Babylon

documentary it shows clearly that it there is still segregation between white Australian and black west Indies.

Distribution I am going to distribute my documentary in

BBC ONE as it is more of sport channel to audience and

provides more sport coverage. Also they make the same

subject documentaries so it will be more of benefit for

me as my documentary is related to sport and it will help

to engage to my target audience.

IDEA 3 Crime in London Q1. How has crime in London changed over the year e.g.

knife crime and gun crime?

My documentary will explore gun and knife crime. I will look at how the law enforcement system try to tackle the problem.

Now a day’s young people and ‘knife’ and ‘gun crime’ are at the front of public attention and an almost regular focus of the media and policy makers in this country. I will be looking to research how these two types of crimes happens.

The reason why this idea inspired me is because I want to found out why these types of activities happens around London and how does it lead teenagers into it.

Target AudienceMy Primary target audience for my documentary will be young teenagers aged

from 16-19 looking at there ranks according to their statistical strength. Also the British

Crime Survey states that the level of knife and gun crimes these age people do has remained

established In recent years. Official statistics do not offer a complete picture of gun and

knife crime because much of it – especially violence between criminals, and offences by

children under 16 – goes unreported.

My secondary target audience will parents because official figures show most young people

under 16 are killed by their parents. In 2007/08, 62% of all homicide victims under 16 were

killed by their parents, an increase from 51% in 2006/07.

Mode of the documentaryThe mode of the documentary will be My documentary will be

linking to investigative mode and Participatory mode . The reason why I chose

both as I am going to be interviewing people internally and externally in my

documentary. I want my documentary to be more enjoyable and have real life

situation glimpses such as visiting police stations, interviewing police officers and

traveling with them to the area where most of the crime take place.

My documentary will have a trailing master piece of art such as Biggie and Tupac documentary had which was directed by Nick Broomfield.

Mode of AddressThe mode of address for my documentary will be informative

because I am advising the audience by telling them something. In my mode of

address I will be wearing normal casual clothes when I am interviewing my

interviewer.

My documentary will be showing a clear impression to catch audience attention

by filming in trailing location to make the audiences sit on edges of their seats.

ConventionThe convention that I am going to use in my documentary will be the

following:

PurposeThe purpose behind the creation of my documentary is to address a particular aspect of reality. My Documentary will be serving the purpose of educating the viewer, and bringing about a change in the mind and attitude of a group of people that how we can put a stop to all types of crimes and what actions can be taking towards them.

Also the purpose of my documentary would be to be able to show the reality of people backgrounds from eyes of the people that are currently living with wrong decisions that they made. Also to educate those people that are about to enter the world of crime to make them stop and to show them what result they will get in the if they do.
