Our group will create a documentary examining stereotypes of young people from both biased and unbiased perspectives. We will film interviews with people of different ages in various locations and incorporate montage sequences and a voiceover to convey our message. The goal is for viewers to understand how stereotypes are often untrue and to consider other opinions on what young people are actually like.

documentary.

3. There will be a large amount of montage clips in our production with voice
over's been played over them. We feel that this will give the audience the
decision that they want to believe and follow. This is going to be a
documentary on the stereotypes of young people and we want the
audience to take other‟s opinions into consideration and this will be
incorporated to support this in our documentary.
“Young people today are lazy, ignorant
and do not think deeply about things. Do
you believe this is an accurate
description of adolescents and young
people? Or do you believe these are
stereotypes endlessly repeated by adults
and media?” –

ond-the-stereotypes)
This statement proves that there is
clearly a biased opinion about young
people and that we are constantly
being stereotyped for our behaviour
and appearance. We are aiming to
try and change these opinions
through our documentary and to
make our viewers aware of what
young people are actually like and
not portrayed as.

5. Our visual and sound style will be slightly different than other documentaries on
topics similar. There will not be a presenter on camera in the whole of the
production. We feel that by having a presenter on camera the audience will
believe what they are saying and agree with what they say, however we want the
audience to have a neutral decision on the subject matter. Even the interviews will
only feature the interviewee and not the presenter because this helps it to be more
realistic for the viewer.

hopefully have a better understanding.

8. Influenced by the nature documentary in the way the smoothly
change between subjects within subjects, how they take one
animal and link it to another, we will be taking one stereotype and
linking to another. Although we will be using the voice of god and
be using video montage and we will make the documentary fast
paced as our audience is a younger generation therefore we will
be using fast video and photographic montage.

9. When thinking about how we would advertise our
documentary in a double page spread we considered how we
could appeal to the young audiences and their stereotypes,
so we would use a very unique font where the letters are big
bold and personalised with different items which create these
stereotypes, then we would consider what else this audience
would be interested in on a double page spread such as a fact
box and a splash.
There will a large photograph of different stereotypes mixing.

10. Instead of advertising our
documentary in a
newspaper article, we
would use such
billboards in locations
where these stereotypes
frequently visit, such as a
shopping centre.
If we were to advertise it
in a newspaper it would
be in a paper such as
„The metro‟ which is a
free newspaper collected
at train and bus stations
therefore it will be
advertised to a massive
demographic which will
incorporate word of
mouth.

11. Editing and Sound
Josh will be editing the production at the end of
the process and once all filmed pieces have
been produced. He will also be in charge of
collecting the sound pieces produced and
importing them over montages. We will be using
Imovie to edit our production.
Director
Holly will be in charge
of the whole
production. She will be
organising interviews,
and keeping the team
on track. She will also
be the spokesperson
when producing the
voice over's for the
montages.
Filming
Phil will be filming the entire documentary; he will be
in charge of the camera angles and viewpoints. It
will be his goal to stick to all of the filming rules. He
will also be in charge of the microphone placement
etc.
