Over 6 months, it will document the girl's process of overeating and then attempting to lose the weight through simple exercises. The goal is to provide encouragement to overweight people that weight loss is achievable with determination.

11. Research
• Supersize me – I liked the idea of basing
my documentary around fast food and
liked how he used hand held shots in order
to create a relationship with the audience
• You Tube Clips from Blogs - I liked this as it creates the feeling
we are in the room with the viewer talking face to face, we will
uses shots like this for me and Leah’s part as it will show we are
just normal teenagers and create a relationship with the audience
• Fat Head – I liked the opening from this as it
was a montage of food with a happy music over
the top to juxtapose the footage. I also liked the
voice of god over the top
