PLANNING: PITCH
Interpreting the brief, my documentary
will follow the tribulations of a 19-year-old male trying to make it in the Performing Arts world, a volatile industry with high demands and endless
pressure overcoming obstacles and disappointment. It talks about his battle with
an eating disorder whilst trying to stay in top shape and be positive regardless of the overwhelming
uncertainty of the business; the high
demands, the long hour rehearsals, the need to stay in excellent shape and
countless auditions which have a toll on his well-being and financial situation.
The topics, bullying and anorexia, will
play a main role in my documentary, in the style of the BBC Three programmes, which deals with current affairs and mental health illness, being an ongoing problem in
today’s youth which corresponds with the target demographic of 16-25-year-olds as
stated in the brief. The blame lies with the young people’s fascination with social
media which seems to dictate how people perceive themselves and the self-expectations
of image, behaviour and level of success.
To involve the audience, I will use
helplines at the end of the video as a form of digital convergence to offer support and the website address will also appear to link the two products together.
I decided to collect feedback via Microsoft Forums to see if my initial idea was doable and fit the brief.
Here are the results:
Here are the results:
This feedback from my peers has been extremely helpful and positive. From this data, I have gathered that my idea does fit the brief as I have included relevant issues from today's society. My peers have given me different suggestions of what to include such as, interviews, dancing clips and giving out health tips to help others - which is a feature of a typical BBC 3 documentary.
I also need to consider another character that is part of a different social group, which is a requirement from the brief.
