This documentary will be about if being cruel to people makes you cool. I will be investigating if it is true. This idea came from when I saw that people in the masses are always singling someone out and
being cruel to them.
My primary target audience is males and females between the ages of 12-18. This is because they will still be in education and school
and is most likely going to be interested in this topic. I will use cool hip hop music, and my costume will be informal (hoody) also the
mise en scene will be in schools or around school.
My secondary target audience is males and females between the ages of 12-18 because almost everyone would have experienced ether being cruel or being harassed by the people being cruel.
CRUEL TO BE COOL
My mode of address will be informal to connect with the audience and so I can be on a more personal level. The
music will be relaxed to make the viewers comfortable and feel as if I am talking directly to them. My costume will be
casual.
There will be a presenter. It will be an observational and investigative documentary as I will be observing and investigating the topic. It will also be a biographical
documentary as I will be following 3 students and there experiences.

one.Participate- 3 students

CRUEL TO BE COOL
My purpose for making this is to show what young people views are on being cool and how it is linked to being cruel
to people. It is to raise awareness of the problems with peoples views. It will be on E4 around 5-8pm because that’s when my target audience are most likely to get back from school. The reason I have chosen E4 because there target
audience is the same as mine, 12-18 year olds. I will promote this using below the line advertising such as social media. I can use Facebook twitter etc. I have chosen
social media because it reaches a wide audience also because it is very relevant to the topic (trolling)
It will around 3-5 minutes long.

This documentary will be about feminism and if it is fair. This idea came from a YouTube clip I saw of a man who defends himself from a women on
a train and got charged. This is an original idea because most feminist documentary's are about the struggles of women but this one is about the
struggles of man.
My primary target audience is males and females from the age range of 16-20 because they would have grown up with feminism. They will also be attracted by the this as everyone talks about feminism. The style of of my
documentary will be formal and neat so it looks professional because professional people will like to see my documentary because it is a serious
subject and people costumes should reflect that.
My secondary target audience are females from the age of 20-25 as most females believe in feminism and I will be questioning it.
IS FEMINISM FAIR
My mode of address will be at formal at some parts and informal when I want to connect with the audience. When I
am trying to be formal there will be no music so all the focus is on the information.
There will be a presenter and voice overs to narrate what is happening. This documentary will be an investigative
documentary.

IS FEMINISM FAIR
My purpose for making this is to find out if feminism is fair or dose it just benefit females and give them more rights over males. Its to raise awareness about the struggles of
man due to feminism. It will be on BBC1 or ITV4 or Channel 4 because these channels deal with controversial topics.
Also I will I it on YouTube and Vice for people to see it and vice deals with controversial topics in the UK. I will
promote this trough below the line advertisements. So I will use social media to promotesuch as twitter and Facebook.
It will be around 3-5 minutes long.

females students
Key findings-Males have more rights than females so females need more
protection,Feminism is fair,
Feminazi do not exist.
IS FEMINISM FAIR
This documentary will be exploring the topic of “does rap promote violence” this is an original idea because “does rap promote violence” is an age old question. Mine is different as I will be showing the other side of rap which is against violence. I was inspired to make this because I listen to rap music however I do not do acts of violence so it confuses me when people say it has connects directly to people doing violence.
My primary target audience is males from the age of 16-25, because they would have listen to modern day rap. I will attract them by using
rap music. Informal costume. Mise en scene will be on the streets.
My secondary target audience is males and females of the age of 20-27 who don’t know about this culture and why rappers talk about violence
because they have never been exposed to their reality.

My mode of address will be informal so I can really communicate with the audience. Also people who listen to
rap (teenagers) would not be attracted to a formal documentary.

make by all the news about Muslim terrorist. This is original because there are a lot of documentaries on this

different as I will be going on the conspiracy route as well.
