Library footage of 5 year old applying make-up
I will be using a short clip from the video below within the opening of the documentary. I found this video on Youtube.com while undertaking research for the topic. I have chosen to use this video as I feel it is a shocking image and shows how the media is targeting at a younger and younger audience. I will also be using an editing technique to which I will speed up the pace of the video. I feel it will fit in well with my music choice and give a more effective look.

Interviews on Oxford High Street
Yesterday I took a trip into Oxford in order to interview people and find out their views on media and body image. I aimed to interview people aged 14-18 and have a total of 5 interviews.
I want to gain as much information and opinions as possible; interviews and questionnaires will allow me to gain this. From the interviews it appears that there is a strong correlation between the images that are projected upon us and our view of the perfect body image. All interviewees backed up the arguement that we we all percieve the perfect body to be thin and beautiful.
In order to gain this information I used a picture of a range of body shapes and sizes- From small to large. I asked the interviewees where they would place themselves on the scale and where they aspire to be.

Photos for opening sequence ...
As mentioned below, I have found the sountrack I want to use for the opening of my documentary. The song, Simian by La Breeze, begins quite subtly and calmly. This will allow me roughly 30-40 seconds to introduce my topic to the audience with the use of a voiceover. The song then builds with the lyrics 'Here it comes' and then burst into a very upbeat and loud chorus. Here, I want to use a mixture of pictures and short clips.
I have gathered a fair few pictures now and they are starting to build up the foundations of the upbeat opening. The opening is aimed to be shocking and informative.

Library Footage
As part of the documentary I will be using library footage as visuals to reinforce my message.The main source of my library footage has been http://youtube.com/ to which I have gained vital footage of which I could not have filmed.
During the opening of the documentary I will be introducing the topic of discussion. Here I will be using visuals of beautiful people to enforce the message of how the media is playing an important role on our perception of beauty. This will include advertisements of make-up products and perfume brands.
With the use of editing, the introduction to my documentary will be quick and upbeat. I will be using the photographs I have gathered from oxford along with the photos I have taken of Magazine headlines and images. Along with this, I will be using a short clip of library footage from a Dove commercial. The clip includes a group of women advertising tablets which will make them 'smaller, thinner and stronger'. I'm using this clip to illustrate the necessity to reach the idea of perfection.
As part of my documentary I find it important to consider both sides to the arguement. 'Troy Hoff' acted by Tony Buckmaster will be presenting an arguement from a Business point of view. Within the interview of Troy Hoff he talks about the Businesses' main objective to promote a 'clean wholesome image'. Here, I will be using visuals of size zero models walking on catwalks and also images of anorexia to illustrate the opposing view to this arguement.

Inspiration for Documentary!
Throughout the process of researching into this topic I have frequently come across the following video. During of my opening of my documentary I hope to do my own version of this video. I feel it really captures how we are misled by the images we are exposed to.
