IntoMy featureMy documentary that I had made was about stereotyping and how people stereotyped t othe way that they are dressed, how i t has affected people s lives and how stop and searchplays a role in it. I showed that the documentary that I had made was about stereotypingand about stop and search by having interviews with a sociology teacher to give informationabout stereotyping. I had also showed this in my vox pops by asking in people questionsabout what they thought about stop and search. This was to show the audience who hasbeen stop and searched and what main ethnicities are stereotyped.Below is a link to my documentary.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzsORs-sqn8

Old textThis documentary that I have picked to compare my feature to is about a band who playracist songs, the bands is called four skins. I decided to use this documentary because thisdocumentary came down on a side about music being raciest. I had also decided to use thisbecause it talks about different type of people like skin heads which links to mydocumentary. This documentary shows that it is about raciest songs because it mainlyfocuses on how people have reacted to their songs with images of burnt down houses. Italso tells the audience some of the lyrics so they get an idea of what the some of the lyricswhere.Below is a link to the documentaryhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3WzfMGPdKc&feature=related

New textThe new documentary that I had picked is about stop and search. This is where young manwho is twenty nine years of ages and has never been stopped and search in his life. In thisdocumentary he goes around investigating how easy it is to get stopped and searched forbeing a black male.The presenter has used vox pops with young youths who talk abou t stop and search whichshow a young side of the documentary. The presenter also goes to other place such asDurham, Nottingham and Norwich this is so that he can see hat areas people are moststopped and searched. He also does it so he can see what types of people are stopped inthese areas.Below is a link to this documentary.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzzDSW7UY-g

The sign in a sign out wa s ve ry strong in thi s do cum entar y about stop and se ar ch m ebec au se it ga ve th e audi en ce lot s of information and what th e do cum entar y wa s going to b e about. Th e pr ese nt e ral so look ed like h e re ally want ed to find thing s out b ec au se h e wa s int e res ted in th e topi c.

My do cum entar y did not ha ve a ve ry strong sign in and sign out off. I don t think that it wa s ve ry strong b ec au se it did not explain and con clud e th e topi c ve ry well.Below i s a pi ctur e of thi s.

O ld t p xt The style that I think thi s do cum e ntar y wa s calm and slow. I f ee l that thi s cam e acro ss tobec au se its targ e te d audi en ce wa s edu cat ed p eopl e who w ere mor e upp e r class we re as m y do cum entar y cam e acro ss mor e fast so that young p eopl e thi s is so it r e lat ed to th e th e mmor e inst e ad of e lde r p eopl e .The cam era mo ve m ent s show that thi s do cum entar y is for e lde r edu cat e d p eopl e thi s is bec au se e ld e r p eopl e ha ve mor e tim e so that th ey ar e abl e to wat ch th e do cum e ntar y.It is also shown in th e languag e that i s u se d b ec au se it is ve ry formal so if a young t ee nag erwa s to wat ch thi s do cum e ntar y wa s to wat ch thi s th ey would g e t bor ed. Thi s do es not r e lat e to m y do cum entar y b ec au se it is faste r so it k ee p s th e targ e ted audi en ce locked into th e do cum entar y.
