The document discusses several potential topics for documentary films or television shows, including religion, ethics, technology, youth issues, and how they relate to society, government, and culture. It provides outlines for multi-episode series that would explore the role of religion in global conflicts and social issues, examine the debate around euthanasia and individual rights, and give voice to youth perspectives on challenges they face.

with current riots was an
affaire issues that overwhelming cry
are the for attention from
fundamental the youths with a
causes for war problem of
and nuclear neglect, labels
power and
underestimation
11. INSPIRATION
Dispatches (Channel4): has no presenter,
only voiceover with detailed
explanations for the views to
understand the topics or scenes
Human planet (BBC One):
• Real life setting & no actors which
distinguishes documentary's from
films
• Also with lighting , its not to bright not
to dark enough to see clearly
We hope to implement this into out
documentary also
12. INSPIRATION
Human Planet (BBC One):
• For its range of different
angles and shots which
makes it three directional,
eye catching and interesting
• Its better than it having long
shots with mid-shot all way
through
13. INSPIRATION
Panorama (BBC One):
• Has a presenter but not for
the whole show
• Which allows the presenter
to give information but also
through voice over so the
visual matches the audio to
give a clearer message
• The side mid- shot allows
the view to focus on the
presenter and the
information given
14. TARGET AUDIENCE - RELIGION
Age :18 – 40
• No younger as they would lack interests and sub sequential knowledge to
fully grasp the information
• Older views may watch but its an informative documentary to make the next
and existing generation try to make a change to the situations
Middle class & Upper class
• They are more educated and interested in these types of topics concerning
the economy
Gender
• More males than females would watch the documentary but this does not rule
out the amount of women that would watch
Lifestyle
• People who are more work and education driven would find this intersting
15. TARGET AUDIENCE - YOUTH
Age : 16 – 25
• Maybe some 15 year olds would watch as they are teens so the topic
does concern them
• 25 as the issues raised still concern them and collectively they are the
next generation and can make a difference
Race & Gender
• Mainly black & mixed race people would be drawn in as its this race that
is constantly branded with negativity from the media
• To gain other ethnicity's in the ad show a range of ethnicity's
• There is no targeted gender
16. CHANNEL & TIME - RELIGION
This would go on channel 4 has they do more hard hitting and controversial
topics
This documentary should be aired 9pm to ensure children are asleep and
the working class’s day is over and at home to watch
17. CHANNEL & TIME – YOUTH
This would go on BBC Three as its more teen and young adults based and
this topic is surrounded their generation
This could possibly air on BBC One also at a later date if popular on BBC
Three so the audience that wouldn't have seen it on BBC Three would
now see it on BBC One
The both documentaries would air at 9 to ensure children are asleep and
the working class’s day is over and at home to watch
