idea 2
The second idea that i thought of was a documentary on 'Alcahol' and how it has effected many people across the world. Drinking alcahol is not the problem the question is could you handle your drink? i will be contacting and interviwing teenagers as well as adults of how drinking is effecting them. Within the documentary i will include facts and statistics about the amount of people starting to drink alcahol is on the increase. The documentary will also include archive footage of young people in the past getting themselves in to trouble by drinking to much.

Location:

Idea 3
This will be a narrative music video of the song 'I don't wana Know' by Mario Winans ft.P Diddy. The idea behind this is to relate the lyrics to a boy who has been deceived by his girlfriend. His girlfriend has been cheating on him and she is unaware of it. So the boy keeps all this to himself untill on day he realises what a mistake he made getting with this girls which leads him to depression and much more..

Final Proposal

1. Ricky Hatton- Where next?

2.The TV channel which will broadcast my documentary will be channel 4. The reason being is channel 4 deals with most celebrity documentries such as secret millionaire, michael jackson and the Bubbles: The untold story. so i feel that channel 4 would be the ideal channel to broadcast my documentary. I also feel that it would draw more audeinces attention towars the documentary as channel 4 is famous for broadcasting documentries.

3.My target audience would be people in socio economic groups in DE and C2. The reason being people above these groups tend to enjoy more historical and biographical documentries exposed to a more serious topic than celebrity TV documentaries. The age range that i would be targeting is 19-39 year olds this is becuase this beacase most people that are training to be professniol boxers will come under this age range and would have an intrest within this subject. Mostly males would be viewing my documentry as it is a documentry about booxing, the ethnicity that i would be mainly targeting is british as the documentary will be about a british boxer Ricky Hatton.
4. The type of documentary that i will be constructing is Celebrity


5.In my documentray i will cover have various shots in several different locations. My documentary will include archive footage and a voice over. This is becasue this will follow real conventions of a documentray. Furthermore my documentary will also include various editing techniques e.g. fades and superimpose. I will also use various camera angle shots for instance high angle and low ange shots of the interview with a semi pro boxer at a loacl gym discussing Rickys recent drugs abuse scandal. This will make my documentary more enjoyable and grab the audiences attention. My documentary will also include multiple screen shots of Ricky Hatton showing his uplifting career coming to a down fall. Finally my documentary will cover many more conventions which are not mentioned above.

Craig Dean- This is the life

The titles appear at the begining of the film, with a establishing shot of the kitchen and a family sitting on the table which makes you feel part of the film. Further there is a sense of realism within the short film e.g. kitchen sink gives us a hint that its a British film about white working class people.

The hand held camera draws the audience in being part of the storyline also there is a close up shot of the mothers face which signifies here emotions and feelings. Furthermore there are elements of non diagetic sound, slow melancholy music starts also the music overlaps within two scenes. We also notice a strong bonded relationship with the brother and the sister we realise that the sister is like a parent figure to her brother.

We see rubbish outside there house which gives us a hint the family is not very affluent. There are also various camera angle shots such as shot reverse shot of the father and son talking, low angle shot, static shot signifies awkwardness between father and son. The short movie 'This is the life encourages the audience to reconnect with family which is the most pivotal thing. Also the story line is about a man and his son reuniting to make a life of joy and bliss.

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Conventions of contemporary music video

In class we analysed Johnny Cash music video named 'Hurt'. The location of the video is in a old fashioned house with antique furniture all around. Johnny cash himself is sitting on a throne chair which gives the audience a hint of johnny being a 'king'. We also could view the American flag which may epitomise the American dream that johnny is looking up to. There is also a museum which ma signify the fame, there are also elements of archive footage of johnny reminiscing the past and the good old days.

Furthermore we could view a museum getting diminished and also a picture of Johnny's mother 'everyone goes away at the end' when johnny is singing this verse we feel a sense of sympathy and gives us a hint that fame and money does not mean everything. We could also clearly view in the video a huge antique table full of food this portrays how johnny is full of fortune, but he as no one to share it with. There are no friends and family he could relate to so taking drugs was the next step.

There re also a montage of many clips put together to show johnny loneliness and solitude. archive footage of johnny cash and his wife showing how everyone just went.
