2. ADOPTING A DIFFERENT
ATTITUDE
 I am hoping to film the daily lives of one adopted teenager and what its really like to
live as a adopted child an what there average day is.
 The documentary will show the different lives they live and what makes us seem
normal on the outside.
 Would also try and talk to people who work at Coram such as people who run the
adoption advice chat line and adoptive parents about how society treats adopted
children differently?
 This documentary would either be shown on bbc 3 or bbc1

3.  Would be filmed at the persons house, collage/school, Coram
headquarters, places where the person may go?
 I have made contact with this person to see if they where willing to be
filmed and they said yes.
 I have also contacted people about talking to them about how society
is hard for adopted teens but I have not heard back from them
 This will be not formally addressed as its based on a teenager so I want
it to look normal like a camera is just there following them.

6. THE PRESSURES WITHIN THE
UK EDUCATION SYSTEM
 Documentary based on how the uk education system is changing and how
students and staff are suffering.
 I will be talking to Students and staff about how the changes to the education
system have been effecting them in the recent years. I am also hoping to contact the
minister or education on why they changed it and what they hope to achieve from
the recent changes. I also will include facts and figures on how students stress ect
has risen over the past years.
 This documentary would be shown on bbc 1 as a lot of parents ect would be
interested in it.

7.  I am hoping to film this inside school, a formal looking office and
also outside in the streets with the general public.
 I would also try and create voxpops about members of the publics
opinion.
 I am hoping to interview two teachers and two pupils about how
it is effecting them and what they think should be changed.
 I am also wanting to film the head teacher of the school.
THE PRESSURES WITHIN THE
UK EDUCATION SYSTEM

8.  secondary research:
 There have been many articles published about how teenagers
today are feeling the pressure to succeed too much. Many are saying
hat the education system is making today's teens unhappier then they
have ever been as well as causing them to be mentally effected, e.g.

12. HOW THE ADOPTION/CARE SYSTEM HAS
CHANGE D PARE NTS E X PE RIE NCES OF IT
IN THE PAST
 I would be doing this based on how the adoption/care system has
changed over the last few years and how it is improving for the better.
I am hoping to try and talk to Edward Timpson who is minister of
child welfare.
 I would also try and talk to parents and teens/children about there
experiences with the care system and how they think it has improved
or in some ways may have become more bad

13.  In order to get people for the documentary I have contacted
parents who have adopted and I am hoping to have a few interviews
with them.
 This would be a very formal mode of address because it is aimed
at people who are wanting to adopt ect.
 This would be shown on bbc2 as it is aimed for older and boring
people

16. A DAY IN A CHILDREN
THEATRE
 I was hoping to do something that is similar to Louie Spence's show business or pineapple
dance studios
 This would be aimed at people who are interested in what happens behind the scenes at a
small theatre and also who are looking for the comedy aspect in a documentary.
 I have spoken to my boss at he theatre I work in and he said he wouldn’t mind being filmed
ect
 When I film this I will be using a team of 3 camera crew so that I can get multiple shots and
also so I don’t miss any funny moments.
 This is going to also be informally addressed because it will be led by the theatre staff
 This would be aimed to be aired on bbc3 as it is aimed at the teen/young adult generation

17.  Secondary research in to children's theatre:

19.  Based in a theatre and not done in a dance studio
 Will have a voice over and text coming up e.g. ‘Sunday morning
10:10 am”
 There wont be any dancing just observing the front desk and the
conversations that go on between the staff members ect.
 I would be filming what sort of things the theatre staff talk about.
