Question 1 - Paige Coles
The document discusses how a media product, a documentary, uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real documentaries. It follows conventions such as introducing interviewees with names and titles, using voiceovers, displaying facts over relevant footage, and conducting vox pops in relatable environments. However, it challenges conventions by not having questions in interviews, starting the voiceover after the title sequence rather than at the beginning, and using a unique title sequence and home video footage. The radio trailer and magazine spread also both follow and challenge conventions of those media.

Supersizeme media essay done
Morgan Spurlock's 2004 documentary "Supersize Me" documented the negative health effects of eating only food from McDonald's for 30 days. By eating three meals a day from McDonald's, Spurlock gained 24.5 pounds and his cholesterol increased.
