Initial Idea 1
Knife Crime
Content/Purpose
 The documentary would be called ‘living around knife crime in the UK’
 the purpose of this documentary would be to emphasise the effects of knife crime in
the UK.The video would illustrate that knife crime does not affect just the victim,
but it also affects the victims family.
 There is an increase in knife crime in the UK therefore letting people know and
understand the reality of knife crime could make people drop their weapons.
 Also, in this documentary I would like to emphasise the fact that killing someone
doesn’t mean they win and the victim loses.
Target Audience/ Mode of address
 The target audience would be young teenagers between the ages of 14+. I chose young people
because they are often unaware of knife crime.
 Also, were living in a society where holding a knife or weapon makes us look ‘cool’.Therefore
teenagers would want to look cool so they would end up holding a weapon just to fit in society.
 The secondary target audience would parents as they would understand the affects of knife
crime then they would find ways to avoid there child to be affected by knife crime.
 The video would also, consist of a presenter participate who will be presenting the documentary.
He/she will meet with a family who had lost a loved one through knife crime. Also, the video will
consists of statistics and and an interview of a person from a knife crime charity.
Style/Conventions
Primary Research
From my observation I have found that there has been
an increase in knife crime. It has become a fashion in the
UK of people carrying knives.Therefore making a
documentary on knife crime is important

Initial Idea 2
Smoking Kills
Content/Purpose
 The purpose of this documentary would be to stop people from smoking as
smoking causes thousands of deaths in the UK. Perhaps making this
documentary would enable people to see the harsh reality of smoking as
well as the long term effects of smoking.
 This documentary will cover a mans life on smoking and how it affected his
health, the video will also, consist of the mans family talking about his
addiction and how they try to stop him.This would enable the audience to
feel sympathy for man. And perhaps this would enable them to find ways
in which they can stop smoking.

Initial Idea 3
BREXIT
Content/Purpose
 The purpose of making a documentary would be to illustrate
how much people dislike immigrants as well as to show
people to know and understand the effects of Brexit.This
could be shown through as soon as the results of Brexit came
through the Pound currency rate went down dramatically.
This suggests that leaving the EU will have a major affect in
the economy.

Islam as well as I have observed an increase in hate crime towards
Muslims.This perhaps suggests that the negative things the media
portrays could be the cause of hate crimes towards Muslims
