Proposal for a Social Action & Community
I will produce at the least a 30 second social action film which will be based on the effects of depression in teens. The advert will be aimed at teenagers and young adults between the ages of 16-21, the advert will also be aimed at parents as the issue of teen depression also effects them in numerous ways.
The advert will be shedding light on the issue of teen depression and the subtle hints that can be found in a teen suffering with depression. It will also offer help lines and websites that parents and teens can visit if they think they are being effected or know anyone who is being effected. The film will be a narrative of a poem dealing with teen depression using typography to emphasize certain key words and phrases. This will be accompanied by a stop motion animation that will feature hand drawn images relating to the words of the poem before ending with any relevant websites or help lines that can be of use to those who suffer or are being affected by depression.
The advert should approximately take 1-2 weeks to film depending on the schedules of the group and a further 1-2 for editing the footage. I will be using equipment supplied by the college such as a camera and a tripod and also the college computers which will have the programs’ I’ll be using to edit the footage installed on the computers, anything else I will be using throughout the advert such as any props will be provided by myself. I’m undecided on the location for the advert but will make sure to receive clearance when needed for certain locations. I will be aware of any copyright I may come across when making the documentary such as using another persons material, I will make sure that I get permission to use the material directly from the owner first.
As I will be using college equipment and facilities the budget will be relatively low or non existent even with only props being bought if needed. Before any filming is carried out I will do a risk assessment so that I can evaluate all of the risks that may arise when filming and the preventions that can be taken. When I am creating this advert I will also be aware of the code of practice and regulations that I need to abide by when filming such as making sure the advert is impartial and unbiased.
Proposal : Factual programme
I will produce a 90 second documentary titled ‘Where am I now?’ which will be based on students lives after they have left school, for the ASH company aiming at teens between the ages of 16-21.
The documentary will be based on the double page spread I created for my student magazine in project 3 of this course. The double page spread was titled ‘Where am I now?’ and features an interview with a student discussing where they are now in their lives, what they did after they left school, what they’re doing now and what they plan to do in the future. The documentary will have a mix of different documentary modes as I am undecided on whether I want the documentary to be realist based with the subject of the documentary providing the commentary whilst being shot in a fly on the wall style or by having an interview with the student where I will directly interact with them. I want the documentary to portray to students that not everyone is clear on what they want to do for their future career, I think this would help people who are unsure of what path they should take after college whether they’re thinking about going to university or finding a job, I think this would be useful in lifting the pressure students feel when making decisions about their future.

I also started worksheet 2 which Harry gave to us on Tuesday, I've started to research into film history and have been researching films that have specifically made an impact with the cinematic techniques used and have started to put them into a timeline.
