BBc Indent

As a group we decided we wanted to have something that introduces our documentary .We had a look through some and found one from the BBC we liked.We decided to use the indent with the flats(this is 2mins 37 seconds into the you tube video posted) as this is what comes on the BBC before a documentary and also flats portray real life and documentary's are based on real life issues.

20/10/2009 Group Dissussion

Today me and my media group had a group meeting as we were still not sure of final idea and we was confused.

WWW

• We discused out previous idea about facebook and how it changes out culture,none of us really liked this idea and were not very enthusiastic about it.
• Our teacher suggested we start from scratch on a new idea ,we all like the idea on facebook so we done a brain storm of all the documentrys we could do on facebook and choose our favourite one.
• The final idea we chose was how young girls represent themselfs on facebook and how this could give out the wrong impression .
• We disscused the target audience and come to the conclusion that it would be targerted at parents and the children using facebook because the parents need to be aware of what their children are doing and the children need to be aware that although thay may not realise they could be sending out the wrong signals and this could bring them very negetive attention .
• We then allocated all of us some research to do overnight so we could present or ideas to the teacher.My job was to do some primary research I made a questionaire for the young children using facebook so we can find out what they think.

EBI

• If we went into more deatail of what excatly we was going to put into the documentry .

Overall i think this sesion went well as we have sorted out all the previous problems and now have a final idea.

My Group

I have now been put into a group with Xanthe Joseph ,Fiona McArthur and Colleen Nolan.We all has Ideas that link together. We put all of our ideas together and came up with the idea of the perfect women.

Xanthes idea was all about false identy ,this idea was looking at why do women feel the need to use make up and false attachments ,is itbecause they are inscure and using them to make them feel good ,or isit just because they want to inhance their image.She also looked at more serious changes women make like plastic surgry .We all liked this idea but thought we needed to go into a more persific area of this.We are going to be using the idea of using false attachments and make up to make the perfect women.

Fionas First idea was about facebook , we found this quite hard to fit into our idea so we used her second idea this was about how the media influnces young women and how the photos in magazines are all edited.We used this in our idea because we could relate how women look into the media to find the perfect women .

Colleens Idea was all about all about fenimism she wanted to promote this as knowone really knew what it was about. Her Second Idea was about eating disorders this also fitted in with my idea.

My idea was all about annorexia in young girls,i wanted to focus on how barbie could be an influence towards this as young girls grow up with barbie dolls.As we disussed this in the group we came across a problem as we did not kno any annorexic people that would be willing to tell us their story .But from this we took the idea of barbie as she is seen as a perfect women.

What They Really See .

This image shows us that annorexia is a serious thing and when they look in the mirror they dont see the truth they see the opposit.This Image made me want to find out what anoreix people really see.It made me want to know what is imbetween the mirror that makes themself seem alot bigger then they really are . Whats behind It all.

Barbie As An Influence On Annorexia

On Reasearching Annorexia i came accross an artical on "Could Barbie Be An Influence On Anorexia".I found this quite interesting and thought this would be the perfect topic do do my documentry on.

Some Research I Found interesting

Looking Like Barbie: An Impossible Body Image

Barbie really doesn't look like a woman. Her form is perhaps best described as "woman-like."

There are many opinions on what Barbie's chest-waist-hip measurements would be if she were a real adult woman. I've seen 32-18-29, 36-18-38, 42-18-32...you get the picture. Basically, Barbie looks as though someone squeezed her middle like a tube of toothpaste -- so tight that the "flesh" at her waist was forced to her breasts and hips (but not to her thighs, of course).

Some say that a seven-foot woman with Barbie's proportions would weigh only 110 pounds. With so much of that weight concentrated in her chest, it's common to suggest that Barbie wouldn't be able to walk without tipping over.
