The document summarizes conventions used in documentaries and proposes some challenges or changes to those conventions. It includes a list of common documentary conventions like archival footage, interviews, jiggly cameras, and voiceovers. It then proposes using fonts from fast food restaurants for titles and challenging stereotypes by having a young black girl as the presenter rather than a white middle-aged person. The document also provides an outline for a 5 minute documentary segment comparing the rise of fast food establishments to the pricing of healthy foods.

titles.

6. Conventions Challenged
Before: After:
We are challenging the stereotype of a
presenter, by having it be a black girl, not
white and someone who is young instead of
middle aged.
The voiceovers are viewed as the voice of God The interviewees will also be the voiceovers,
and are not mixed with the interviewees. therefore they will be taking part and also
looking at it from an outside perspective.

Draft 2 Script What food shops in Harlesden do you prefer and why?
INTERVIEWEES
(I prefer KFC because it’s cheap and the food quality is really good.)
PRESENTER
Do you find Waitrose and Sainsburys unnecessarily expensive?
INTERVIEWEES
(I find it expensive and sometimes I feel for a healthy meal but due to my budget I cant
afford it so turn to shops like Sam’s which I know I shouldn’t eat constantly.)
PRESENTER
I am in the area of Harlesden in London and many people share the same opinion but is that
a good thing?
The UK has become a ‘fat nation’ and I’m here to inform you about the good, the bad and
the unhealthy.
TITLES
VOICEOVER
Statistics show that there are about 60% of unhealthy food shops in London compared to
healthy food shops.
The chicken that is supplied in restaurants like KFC and McDonald’s is 50% water ect…
VOICEOVER
In the late 1900s’ and early 2000’s there was as little as 3 fast food shops in the area
that has risen by 4 in the year 2011.
PRESENTER
I have two people with me who live in Harlesden, together we are running an experiment to
see if buying healthy food is really as expensive and long as it is made out to be.
So (name) is currently seasoning the meat……while (name) is currently on her way to
McDonalds.
VOICEOVER
The results are in, here is the price list
As you can see a complete burger at McDonalds is £3.99 whereas purchasing the ingredients
for a ‘healthy’ burger adds up 10 £15.
PROFESSIONAL
(The reason for the increase in fast foods restaurants is for capitalism, society needs
more money and the only way in making it is through cheap fast food meals in the areas
where those from a working class background are located.)
PRESENTER
Next episode we will be discussing diets and how to healthy
