After browsing the internet for quite some time, I have come across masses of information and opinions expressed by a range of people.
Youtube especially proved to be a useful source of information.
Dove Evolution
Evolution is an advertising campaign launched in 2006 as part of its Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, to promote the newly created Dove Self-Esteem Fund. The commercial promotes how a young, innocent girl will soon be bombarded with images of beauty people, especially size 0 models.
I found this video to be a real insight of how the Beauty Industry is taking its toll on very young children. The video was a real inspiration of what I could accomplish in the opening on my documentary and feel the ideas from the video will make a touching opening to the documentary.
The second video is another from Dove Evolution. This video expresses clearly how the images we see everyday in magazines, films and on billboards do not show a clear image of beauty. The video shows how many of the images we see have been retouched so much that the person in the original and edited photo are barely the same person. This leads me to question how real are the pictures that are projected onto us daily? The use of technology means that even the public can edit photos of themself on simple editing software such as photoshop.
