Task Two Presentation(documentary idea)
As a group we found it really hard to come up what the exact concept of our documentary was.This was because we kept on coming of the whole idea of brands. We still wanted to stick with the idea of fashion as it was something that we found interesting and thought that we will also learn something while doing further research.
First Idea
This presentation includes:
- Research info, target audience , individual ideas into one and the episode planning
Research on documentaries
The first initial idea
Our whole documentary focuses on Brands.Each episode focuses on each section of brands,such as food, fashion,technology and cars. The concept of the documentary was to find out why teenagers love the idea of having a product or in item which is a well known brand. also to find out whether teens buy the product due to the name or whether it was because of the quality of the product.
Start of Group Work
The members of my group are Juliette and Peggy and our group name is JJP. I feel confident with my group as last year I worked with Juliette and I know how to work with her. Peggy last year also achieve a great grade in media and I believe that she will bring new ideas to my group. As a group we wanted to do a music video, as this would have been something that we have never done before, also it would be an enjoyable course to do.
Since as a group we all different ideas we decide to choice three main ideas from each of us. From the three documentaries ideas chosen we asked class members what they as the target audience would prefer to watch.the different options were:
- Pursuit of Perfection
- Homosexuality
- Teenage obsession with Brands.
From these three ideas we decided to main focus on Teenage obsession with Brands.
Choosing my Topic
I was advice that choosing a music video would not be a good idea because this would have been hard as we would need to wither seeks permission to use a protected sound or find someone that we know that is in a band. This was very unlikely as there was no-one that we know that has their known band.
My second idea was to do an advertisement for a reality show. There were pros and cons to this as it would be enjoyable but there isn’t a lot to advertise on a reality TV show for 5mins and also part of the course we had to be able to produce a web pop-up. This could have not been as my school doesn’t have the software. so my final idea was to do a documentary.
My Grade Reflection
My AS grade for Media Studies for last year was an B. I achieved my target grade and I hope to continue this grade for A2 and again acheive my target grade. From last year's experience I have learnt that to pass this subject you must be dertermined to work alot and attend revision lessons. Media Studies is a very time consuming subject so I have to make sure I am organised and up to date with my coursework and my other studies.This year i will try to continue my hard work especially in the course side and either achieve my target grade or even achieve a grade higher.
