The group had previously chosen a park as the filming location for their documentary on social media, but realized a park did not relate well to their topic. They decided to research more effective locations. Potential locations included Camden Town, Oxford Street, Hyde Park, and Covent Garden. Camden Town and Hyde Park were narrowed down as choices because they are well-known areas frequented by youth where socializing is common. Camden Town was ultimately selected because of its urban setting and many social places popular with youth.

Target audience research for documentary topicAbc Abc
The document discusses targeting a younger audience aged 25-35 for a documentary series about a social media topic. It notes that this age group is the most active on social media based on statistics, so they would be most interested in a topic concerning social media. Additionally, the younger generation has generally embraced social networking more than older generations, so the documentary will aim to engage this key target audience.
The document discusses concepts related to social media and control. It suggests that social media breaks traditional media chains of control, but also subtly invites people in and exerts control over how they express themselves. Various visual concepts are presented, such as strings holding shadows to represent subtle control and a blue hand gripping expression to symbolize Facebook's influence over what people say.
Filming for the final draft of a documentary took place on location. Shots were captured of the presenter Joanne establishing the context of the documentary. Additional shots were filmed of people using phones to further set the scene. Various camera angles and shots were taken to make the establishing shots more interesting and compelling.
The document discusses plans for draft 3 of a double page spread and newspaper advert exploring the subtle control of social media. For the double page spread, shadow strings will be drawn onto an image instead of using actual ropes. This is to emphasize how social media control is subtle and unseen. For the newspaper advert, the plan is to create an image of a person with a computer screen for a head. Details are also provided on editing the images, actors, costumes, props, and location.
The document discusses using the animation website "Go Animate" to create an animation for a documentary. It explains that drawings and Prezi looked too amateur so an additional animation was needed. Go Animate allows users to create their own characters and scenes with backgrounds and text to help explain terms like "Hegemony" and "Democracy" for the audience. The site guides users through a process of selecting templates, characters, backgrounds, and adding dialogue to produce an animated scene.
The document discusses how various digital tools and software programs were used for coursework involving editing footage and creating a documentary. IMovie was used for editing footage and taught the student about the filmmaking process. InDesign was used to construct double page spreads and newspaper ads for different drafts. An iPad was used to save inspiration images and take photos. PowerPoint was used to organize research and presentations. Blogger allowed presenting work and keeping it organized chronologically. Prezi was an alternative to PowerPoint and was used to substitute for documentary animations.
This double page spread uses a plain black background to feature a full page photo of the subject. The layout emphasizes the title which is split between two contrasting images. Text is arranged in three columns and uses different fonts, colors, and placement of elements like pull quotes and captions to create visual hierarchy and guide the reader through the page. While the background is cluttered, color and text contrasts ensure readability.

2. Location change
• New locations: ‘Westfield Shopping Centre’
- Convent of Jesus and Mary Language College – playground.
• We are no longer filming at Trafalgar Square as we found that it represents
tourism rather than socialising.
• We are no longer filming at ‘Ealing Broadway park’.
• We will continue to film at the BBC studio as it represents the media
landscape well.
3. Why We chose this
location
• As ‘Westfield Shopping Centre’ is very popular amongst teenagers and young adults
(our target audience) they will recognise it and therefore be able to relate.
• It is also a place where many people go to socialise which relates to our topic.
• We have also decided to film at our school as there are many teenagers thus we can
interview them for our topic.
