Our Documentary

Our Radio Advert

Print Advert



We decided to do the advert like this as the title 'Beauty' shows that it is in fancy writing to give off the vibe that its beauty related. We also used the girl in the picture as if she is a puppet being conrtoled by the media and celebrity to get plastic surgery. We added the time so people would know which time it was on at and the channel was also added so the general public could see the information of the programme. By setting the writing to be the colour pink would grab the audiences attention. By seeing this poster people would like it and would want to know what it is about.








We used a site called Da font to get different types of fonts to go with are documentary.

Evaluation Q4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?




Evaluation. Question 3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?




Some of the feedback we got from our documentary.
From our Audience feedback i now feel now that if i went back and did it again i would know the right things to use in the ducomentary, for example some people didnt enjoy the music so id try and find even better music, or the same for the theme. Most people enjoyed the documentary and said they would watch it on tv if they could this shows that me and my group did well and made a good and interesting documentary. Some of the audience said it was enjoyable to watch and the music set off a good atmosphere.





Audience Feedback:

















Evaluation Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Within our documentary are poster’s advertisement and text link together, by this we were trying to portray the same message towards the intended audience. Throughout our documentary we were trying to get the message across to the general public that the media and celebrities can influence the way we see ourselves. The narrator of our documentary was also used in are radio advert, we did this as we knew they could speak out well and that they didn’t have a problem speaking again. Looking back through our documentary we used three different songs which are all beauty related such as Christina Aguilera ‘You are Beautiful’, Lady Gaga ‘Born this way’ and Glee ‘Pretty/Unpretty’. So all together everything we have used has been beauty related so that the audience can understand more about real beauty and the way people preserve themselves.
In conclusion our radio advert and print advert link into our documentary as are radio advert uses some of the documentary within it showing bits of clips of the voices to grab the audience’s attention. All the music we used within our documentary was 'pop genre' music which fell into the music codes and conventions, this clearly shows that we used the right music as it links into the message we were trying to send off throughout as the lyrics are all ab out beauty. We wanted our documentary to be on BBC3 as when we were researching which channel for it to be on we found out that most documentries were on BBC3. We were also trying to set the same message to the intended audience on each of our advertisements, this message was that 'the media was trying to influence the way people perseve themselves, making them think differently about themselves'.
















Within this shot we have used Mise-en-Scene as it we have located it in a pink bedroom where obviously the girl we have used is very girly. It shows she is a beauty fanatic as she has got fake tan in the background, wearing make up, and through this she says how her isn't real. We have also used bright lighting so the audience can see the screen shot more clearly. Also using the rule of thirds we managed to get a good camera angle. This shot is showing us that the girl 'Jade Harrioson' is beauty related to the documentary as we use her in an interview within our documentary as she knows alot about make up and she tells us all about what she uses and what she spends on her products.














Within our documentary we also used graphics where we made the writing come up at the screen getting bigger then moving to the left, this was so the audience knew what the title was knowing then what the documentary was about. This add more of an affect towards the audience as 'pain' is in red letters making it look more interesting to know what the other effects of beauty can be like. This is simular to our documentary as the writing is the same font as what it is om the print advert, we used the same font so it was more relevant to our documentary. We also used the same two surgery patients so it wouldnt make things complicated and kept to the same theme.















We have also used titles at the bottom left hand side of the screen so the audience know who the person is and what they have had done to themself of what there part is in 'is beauty worth pain' as Helen Davies is a plastic surgery patient telling her story of what happened and how she felt afterwards.
















This alot here is related to beauty as she is using a sunbed, this goes on to telling the audiene the effects of sunbeds and what it can do. In one way this is simular to are print advert where its a puppet being controlled by the media to look good. As this girl is using sunbeds shows that she obviously is trying to keep herself looking good. Overall our documentary is effective towards are main product as everything we have used is to do with beauty we havnt gone outside the idea of beauty we have stuck to the idea of sunbeds, make-up, plastic sugery and interviews within surgery. Our poster has remained with pink writing to let the audience know its girly with nice writing, it also has a picture of a girl on it who is like a puppet, this shows that media or celebrity life can influence the general public to be that way trying to make themselves better than what they already are.

Voice over script for Documentary

Katie Price has had numerous surgical procedures, these include 5 boob jobs, liposuction and veneers. Surgery can be the answer to many peoples confidence problems most common procedures include Breast, eyes and nose. Influenced by many celebrities in the public eye. Through research we found out that Katie Price uses sun beds on a daily basis and has bald patches from gluing in her hair extensions.

Is it celebrities like this that have changed the way the public perceived themselves? Its not just celebrities that thrive to get this glamorous look.

Sunbeds are estimated to cause 100 deaths from melanoma every year in the UK. Sunbeds also cause premature skin ageing which means your skin becomes cause, leathery and wrinkled at a younger age. When the tan fades, the damage remains. Using sun beds for the first time before the age of 35 increases the risk of developing melanoma skin cancer by 75%.

People who are most at risk are younger people, people who have a lot of moles, people with fare skin, people who burn easily, people who have had skin cancer in the past, people with a family history of skin cancer.

People who use sun beds under age increase their risk of malignancy by 55% in the UK. Almost 9000 cases of meligmaloma are diagnosed each year, and more than 1000 people die from the disease each year.

Secondary Research

Sun beds
• Sun beds aren't a safe alternative to tanning outdoors. Like the sun, sun beds give out harmful UV rays which damage the DNA in our skin cells and can cause skin cancer.
• Sun beds are estimated to cause around 100 deaths from melanoma every year in the UK.
• Sun beds also cause premature skin ageing, which means that your skin becomes coarse, leathery and wrinkled at a younger age. So when the tan fades, the damage remains.
• By using sun beds people may think they look better with a tan which is why they do it but it’s damaging the body and could cause cancer.

People who are most at risk:
• Younger people
• People who have a lot of moles
• People with fair skin
• People who burn easily
• Have had skin cancer in the past
• A family history of skin cancer

People who use sun beds underage increase their risk of malignant by 75%.
In the UK almost 9,000 cases of malignant melanoma are diagnosed each year - and more than 1,800 die from the disease each year.

Plastic Surgery.
Boob job = Start at £2,750 then increases to £5000
Nose Job = £3000 - £4000
Liposuction= £1.500 - £5000
Facelifts = £4.500

Surgeons can reshape the appearance of body parts through cosmetic surgery. Some of the most common body parts people want to improve through surgery include:
Breasts: Increase or reduce the size of breasts or reshape sagging breasts
Ears: Reduce the size of large ears or set protruding ears back closer to the head
Eyes: Correct drooping upper eyelids or remove puffy bags below the eyes
Face: Remove facial wrinkles, creases or acne scars
Hair: Fill in balding areas with one's own hair
Nose: Change the shape of the nose
Tummy: Flatten the abdomen

This spread sheet shows us the amount of people getting plastic surgery in England and the rises and falls of the amount of men or women getting different types of surgery in different years. it shows us that 9,430 breast enlargements were done in the UK in 2010 going up by 10% from 2009 and women getting liposuction went down by 3.8% from 3,010 down to 2,896 from 09-10.



These are some more statistics i have found whilst doing my secondary research-
  • Sunbeds are estimated to cause 100 deaths from melanoma every year in the UK
  • Sunbeds also cause premature skin ageing, which means that your skin becomes coarse, leathery and wrinkled at a younger age. So when the tan fades, the damage remains.
    















Using sunbeds for the first time before the age of 35 increases the risk of developing melanoma skin cancer by 75%.


Articles on Plastic surgery.


"Even relatively minor mishaps can be unsightly and embarrassing, and plastic surgery gone wrong includes an enormous range of problems, from capsular contraction in breast implants (where the implants harden painfully) to problems with the wound and the slippage of implants inserted in a range of locations, including cheeks, chin, and butt. Surely we wouldn't wish these accidents on our worst enemies - unless they were in the public eye."


"Thirty years ago they were the heart-throbs of French television with their own primetime series on science fiction.
Now Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff look more like the alien life forms they used to report on.
The twin brothers have had so much plastic surgery they are barely recognisable.
Posing for pictures as the 150th anniversary party for luxury jeweller Chopard, the pair - now aged 60 - looked freakier than ever"

http://plasticsurgery.about.com/od/faqsgeneralinformation/a/bad_ps.html ->
"From questions about costs of plastic surgery, to the history and definition of plastic surgery, this is the place to find general information on all things plastic surgery related."

Are celebrities the ones making the general public perseve the way they look.







Proposal Form

The topic of our documentary is going to be about external beauty, this will explore the advantages and disadvantages of things such as plastic surgery, usage of the sun beds and also the process a girl goes through to look good. We will be discussing the risks of surgery and influences people have as to why they go through these procedures, this could to be things as insecurities or in influences through celebrities and the media.
Our documentary will be direct, addressing the audience, although it will be direct it will also be informal directing the audience in a friendly way being unbiased towards plastic surgery and surrounding topics.
We have decided to place our documentary on BBC, we chose this because they show a lot of documentaries relating to ours, for example’ Snog, Marry, Avoid’ they also have a series of documentaries broadcasting at the moment about lives of different teenagers with extraordinary lives. We also chose the BBC to broadcast our documentary as they are an unbiased and so is our documentary. We have to chosen to broadcast the programme at 9 o’clock on a Wednesday, we decided upon this because we feel this would be a typical night where our target audience would be at home relaxing, as it is half way through the week it will be advertised before hand letting people know when it’s on.
Our target audience will be woman aged 16-40 this is because after conducting our research people relate women with beauty more than they do men. We decided upon the age because 16 year old girls are beginning to get more body conscious and we found older people think a lot about plastic surgery because of the effects of aging.
So far we have conducted a questionnaire which we handed out to thirty members of the general public, ranging from different ages and genders, the outcomes of these gave us ideas for our initial ideas. To further our research we shall interview a plastic surgeon which will give us knowledge along with statistics on his field of work making our documentary reliable. We will also visit a health advisor to further our research into the truth about the risks involved with sun beds and the reasons for things such as the change in law making the legal age to use sun beds to 18.
As well as using primary research we will also use the internet to enhance our knowledge on our chosen subject, we will be able to gain archive footage by using the internet as well as getting more statistics and real life stories about things such as surgery gone wrong.
Our documentary will not be telling a story as such; because of this it will classify our documentary as non-linear. As our documentary is unbiased it may flicker from different opinions on the subject showing the risks to the advantages.
In our documentary we will include various interviews with people who have had plastic surgery, we will ask what they had done, the risks they took, how it went and how they feel about it now. We will also be interviewing an expert such as a surgeon or a worker at a tanning salon. We will also include various cutaways of things such as questions asked to the general public and before and after pictures of celebrities of the changes that were made to their bodies.
Equipment we will need to use when filming and editing will be things such as tripods, camera, tape, microphone, a computer with Premier installed on it to edit.
