This short advert/documentary is about one of the key issues we will include in our documentary...debt via banks and easy access to money!! although it is not the main theme of our documentary...spending starts from credit cards something that alot of young females abuse...!! the documentary consists of fast paced sequences at the start which we wish to in co-operate into our documentary..ours will show clips of women shopping and shop logo' and names..also showing busy shopping centre's and malls...CHAOS..using this technique in our documentary will emphasise how much shopping is reali done..and we will chose to only film mainly women which is also a main concept in our documentary..!! the key thing about this film is to solve debt and "credit card blues" ...adverts like this are very common they try to reasure people in the same boat that debt can be sorted out as easily..with one phone call!!! we will challenege this view which is shown by banks and debt solving companies and portray the difficulties people face when trying to overcome debt...this film consists of techniques that will be useful when filming and editing our documentary.

Outline of our documentary

Our documentary- 'The Lavish Life' is based on how the media influences us to shop. We will look at: celebrities and adverts- how they persuade people to Buy Buy Buy!! We will defiantly look at the Gap advert featuring Madonna because she's such a huge success and is one of the most famous singers, also she is easily recognised by everyone and on top of that Gap is a big company which most people are familiar with. Do girls really shop more than boys? Or is this just a stereotype put forward by the media? We plan to use montage squences, vox pops and much more to make our documentary interesting. However, although we want our documentary to entertain, we also want to show a serious side to it, which involves people who run into debt because they shop too much. As we want to shock our audience, we intend to make the end shocking to really put our point across and to show the serious side. We plan to use a main female character who we will follow around and who will be shown as a shopaholic- we've already spoken to a uni student who is willing to take part in our documentary. We have also done alot of research and we will use alot of the techniques from Michael Moore's documentary 'Bowling For Columbine'. Pardeep

10 YEARS YOUNGER...

10 years younger..is shown on C4 thursdays at 8pm when most teenagers and young adults watch TV...it is sponsered by ROC a beauty product specialists in anti aging products...

Nikki Hambleton-Jones..is potrayed to a be a hip fashion guru who guides all mis lead people into the right place...so that they are able to look good...feeelll good and overall become a different person. this show last around and hour...and shows the stages a "victim" undergoes before the final results are shown...this show not only infulences females and males to shop and buy the latest must have desingers etc...but to also up their appearances by perhaps going that step further to plastic sugery...dental sugery...etc. in a way i think it makes us think that changing ur appearance isnt as easy as slaapin on some make-up and a new pair of jeans...but infact people are sooo self concious that it is becoming acceptable to give into plastic sugery to take of a couple of years...(this defeats the purpose and cycle of life) aging. thus links with our idea that media such as TV shows like this one feed us with info.."into a passive audience" this makes us go and shop...becuase end results of the show are always good and the person is always happi...so in a way this show enforces the idea of...copy what is done on the show and you will get the same results and be as happii as ever...(they exclude the facts of MONEY ISSUES) ($ImRaNXxX)

BaNkS....

Banks no longer provide a simple service of paying out your money and keeping it safe...they have turned into something called a "shop"...they sell!! (i work in the back soo i kno...seriously be careful with banks)...they not only try and sell nearly all of there products to people who are not eligible but also to people who cannot afford to pay back...loans and creditcards allow us to spend spend spend...if you went to a bank..just turned 18 they would reccomend one of their credit cards...which may leave you in debt...so influences work in...1st media...den 2nd banks....

HmMmMm...meida influences

Recently there have been soo many new shows on TV (which im sure all of you watch or atleast have heard of)...America's next top model...10 years younger...what not to wear...sound familair?? All of the above infuence the way our minds think...they continuosly make us think..(spesh young females) that in order to look good and be accepted by society we have to keep up our appearances resulting in spending...like in 10 years younger...they show a before and after shot of the person...emphaising how great the new person looks...!! they myt not spell the words out to you (shop) but they enforce thier ideas into us the audience..and have sucha great impact on us...which relates to another topic we will be convering in our production....BANKS....
