Interview with Managing Director Of Rimmel

Within the documentary I want to illustrate the opposing side of the arguement. From my research the statistics clearly show how the beautiful people on the front of magazines and on television are selling their products. I have constructed an interview with 'Troy Hoff- Managing director of Rimmel London Make-Up' to show the opposing views. The research I have undertaken has showed me that the beautiful people are used becuase they are what sell their products. The beautiful people bring with it a certain lifestyle: Beauty= Wealth, success and fortune. People buy their products that illustrate this messgae because this that is their ambition.

This article is from a magazine website. It gave me an insight into how a young girl trying to persue a career in acting is having trouble living with the pressures of being beautiful. She is now an actress on Hollyoaks and says that the pressure comes from all her beautiful co-stars.

Backdrop For Interview with Troy Hoff

I have created the following back drop which will be used in my Documentary when I interview Troy Hoff. The backdrop I have created illustrates our perception of beauty and our need to reach it. While searching through magazines for these images, it was the headlines that really caught my eye. I decided to use them in the college because I feel it was important to show what magazines are presenting to young girls.
