The facts
 
Smoking is very addictive - this is because it contains nicotine. Nicotine  gives you energy, concentration and a buzz off it and, when you've had that energy, you need more, so you smoke again to get the same effect.
4,000 different chemicals are inhaled when you smoke a fag.
60 or more can cause cancer.
When you inhale you also take in tar that sticks to your lungs, which is the development of lung cancer cells.
According to the NHS Lung cancer affects 30,000 in England and Wales a year.
1 in 8 who are not smokers, the rest are smokers.

Slide ten

Why am I doing this topic
 
I am doing this topic because recently my gransha died of lung cancer due to smoking. It effected the family a lot and I don’t want to see anyone go through what we went through. To see a family member slowly lose energy and not being able to move, is horrible and smoking caused this.

Griersonian mode

Griersonian Mode

What mode am i using?

For my documentry I will use a Griersonian mode, called the voice of god, because I want to able to use images and voiceovers and give the documentary a better effect. I think that using this mode will present the documentry better than having the presenter visable, this is because there then will be too many people on camera and may spoil the effect of the two smokers quitting on their own.

For example i will be the voice over for the documentary, describing what they are doing, results and other things that is relavant to the documentary.

What will i do?

  • I will ask questions or talk to the two smokers, but you will not see me.
  • I will also used recorded footage that i have filmed on my documentary to replace where i could of been visable to the camera.
  • Writing for cast and crew names.
  • Replace any quiret gaps if i am not speaking.

market research

Market research

Every business and company researches their market; this is to insure that they can continue to proceed with what they are aiming for. There are many tasks and aims that must be done in completing a documentary; one of the most important tasks is to market research. It is important that you research the market for a documentary because you need to know what you are aiming for. From researching you can tell and complete other tasks set, for example from researching the market you can cancel any previous ideas to relevant to an existing ones and can improve other ideas further. There are different types of research, which is primary research, secondary research, and existing products. Primary research is research that you have done yourself, for example giving out questionnaires relevant to the topic and interviewing people of the subject with questions and answers relevant. Secondary research is research that is someone else’s, for example-taking information from the Internet, books, magazines and newspapers. Existing products is products that have already been made and that you see it as an example to help you with your own work. You can use that idea and change it into your own. Researching the market is important because you need to make sure that you do not steal ideas and name it your own. (Copyright). Also collecting a wide range of ideas, which can help you develop other ideas of your own. Carrying out market research helps you to gather information needed for your documentary, information that can help you to continue with an idea. For example the target audience, without the target audience you then cannot see what can and cannot be included within the documentary.  The genre, without a genre you cannot start the script in case it does not suit the genre chosen later on. The music, without music you cannot give a feeling to the viewers. Also you cannot involve people in the documentary without knowing what ages and personalities are needed. Without the market research nothing can start because without the basic idea and information, progress cannot begin.

Day Five/filming

On day five the two smokers did the same test but in the hall in the College, this was because of the snow on the field they had used last time, i decided to use the hall for health and safety reasons.

After the test they then gave their conclusion on how the week went and what they will do in the future.

I felt like the documentary went well but i feel like the documentary could be more entertaining and more thought out (back up plans).

What went well?
  • They improved.
  • They enjoyed the test.
  • evaluation of the week was good, they had alot to say.
Even better if?

  • test was in a gym.
