This week I was planning to interview my cousin and a doctor but both was unavailable to see me which was a down side of the whole week, but I have tried to contact other health centre with doctors that could see me for an interview. I had left massagers or voice mails just telling them what I exactly need them for and why. I had also tried to organise another a date for me to interview my cousin. Beside that I have been filming myself on the bits which I will need to be in, to explain and talk other area we will be looking at.

Next week I will be editing and see if I can film myself to fill in any other pieces for myself to cover and hopefully I can get an interview with my cousin which would be brilliant to have on my documentary.

This week I have filmed and interviewed about four people about their own opinion on why young teenagers go gym? As I had filmed and interviewed the four people, I had already come up with a few theories on why young teenagers want to go gym. On top of that I had filmed myself talking quickly about diets, protein shakes and legal gym pills, and also the different factors with it.

I had filmed on three different days which gave me time to think about the questions and the way I will present myself to the interviewees and top the audience by camera. I had first filmed on a Wednesday which was the interviews with Niall and Tej who are both fitness lovers that go gym most of their free time. I had interviewed them in the fitness suite in my school Chadwell Heath Academy. I locations and setting in the background matched the theme and topic of the documentary. It was perfect for the interview to take place due to the gym equipment set in the background to remind the audience what kind of theme and topic I am talking about. The next day I had gone out to film and interview another two people which one of them is a lifeguard and the other a gym branch manager at Virgin Active. I interviewed the branch manager at the gym office and the other at her house. Both of them had a similar kind of answers but different in their own way.

Next week I will be interviewing a doctor and my cousin who is a nutritionist which should my documentary different side to be looked at.

This week I have been working on my production paper work and completed it. This week I have also went with Gareth to a Match Mothers meeting in slough, in Burnham Bucks at a Mars factory which was a good experience but also sad. The meeting was about mothers without their children and that don’t have contact with their own children because of the Fathers of Justices program that is quite big and is shown quite a lot in the media. I went to go help Garth, by being the Camera man also help him become more confident when interview the mothers about the meeting and their experiences which they are going through now. We also had went to the meeting to get cutaways and listen to the people explaining the different factors the charity Match Mothers does and how it helps Mother be heard out to their children.

As I was there filming the interview, I was listening to what the mothers was saying in terms of how they was reacting to the questions and also how they told us openly. Some of the interview was emotional because there was one that had hit me the most about how a mother had come home from America and found out that the father and kids had moved out taking the furniture taken as well, which all the mother just had was an empty house.

The trips to slough and back was good because it didn’t take us to long to get there and back which was a plus side to the whole thing. 

Next week I will be interviewing a lifeguard and a gym branch manager of Virgin Active in Ilford, I will also have to interview a two gym lovers which will be in the fitness suite (gym) at Chadwell Heath Academy. I have planned to film myself talking about protein shakes and legal gym pills and how teenager know about it when starting gym.

Final Proposal

Final Proposal 

Aims 

Aims in my documentary is that the point is to find out why do young teenagers start and go gym, which I will go to the some general public and some experts on there opinions on why they might think teenagers go to the gym. I would as well show how gym is good for your health but through the documentary topic of teenagers starting gym. I would like to aim to interview experts like doctors, nutritionist, personal instructor, fitness teachers and bodybuilders if all that is possible which I would like to have, by this it can help the audience understand some of the opinions or theories that they come up with. I would like the audience to see what kind of atmosphere the gym can be and how it can motivate young teenagers into going gym and becoming fit and healthy. 

Content

In the content of the documentary, it will be interesting for the audience to watch and learn because it won't just be some boring old documentary that is just pure facts and statistics, it will have entertaining games and the documentary mode which helps us know how i would like to make the documentary come across. I'm going to try and have a wide variety of things that will be happening in the documentary which are competition games with a teenager that goes gym and a teenager that doesn't which I would like the audience to see how it is actually good and how it can make you fitter and stronger. I would also like to interview experts but with one particular expert which is a body builder, I would like to show how the bodybuilder trains which can show the audience in actual fact mainly the teenagers how this can motivate teenagers to start gym at a young age. 

Target Audience 

My target audience are aimed mainly towards young male teenagers which appeals to them because of the topic and subject of the documentary I am going to produce. The types of features and people I will have in the documentary are going to be very appealing to the male audience, this is because the type of people I will have in the documentary are mainly male plus I would like to have a male body builders just so it helps identify the audience more clearly. It helps us see how I have targeted a specific audience to show i have researched well into showing the main area of audience I have targeted. 

Format 

The mode of the documentary is going to be performative this is because of the way I will present my documentary to the audience by this, I want the audience to understand and learn what they take in from the documentary which is from the start to the end. The mode also helps the audience see how the presenter is involved in the documentary as much as everyone else who will be in the documentary, this helps the audience understand also how each person which includes experts and the general public have a roll which is to help the audience learn and take in what they see. The mode also helps me a lot because I want the audience to watch the documentary hopefully it helps there lifestyle improve by following some of the diets and exercises that i want to show in the documentary. 

Genre 

The documentary will be the genre, as it will have no competitions, games and features that doesn't make a documentary factual. There are also many different types of factual TV which I have to make sure as my documentary will have interviews with experts and vox pops with the general public. Overall the type of documentary I will produce is a factual documentary which the brief of the BBC has asked us to make. 

Style 

The style of the documentary will be different and interesting for the audience to watch, the camera work in terms of shots will be wide ranged but not too wide ranged just so its enough for the audience to be interested throughout the documentary. In the documentary I will have different type of locations just so for the audience will stay engaged into the documentary, plus for sound and graphic, I will have music that are quite well known so mainstream, which is music that is played on radio stations and Music shows that most people know or known of. The graphic will be interesting for the audience to watch this is because I want to have pictures of people who have transformed from being fat or skinny to being fit and healthy plus with a build toned body. This hopefully also helps the audience stay engaged and intereseted about what else gym can do to help young teenagers do and make them go into the right direction in life.

The shots types I will use will be long shots, mid shots and high & low shots, this is because with the long shot I want the audience to see the whole atmosphere of a gym plus also it will give a wider look of the different facilities gyms have for example the differences between David Lloyd Gym and Virgin Active Gym. Mid shot will help just give a closer look at something which could be weights, equipment that gym users use to train and etc. Plus I would use this shot type because of the facial expressions that experts do which might the audience understand what the expert might be talking and explaining. High and low shots will helps me a lot during the documentary because the documentary won't be kept serious, instead it will give a more entertaining and interesting side for the audience to watch that can keep the audience happy and engaged.
