Initial Idea 1Knife Crime

Content/Purpose The documentary would be called ‘living around knife crime in the

UK’

the purpose of this documentary would be to emphasise the effects of knife crime in the UK. The video would illustrate that knife crime does not affect just the victim, but it also affects the victims family.

There is an increase in knife crime in the UK therefore letting people know and understand the reality of knife crime could make people drop their weapons.

Also, in this documentary I would like to emphasise the fact that killing someone doesn’t mean they win and the victim loses.

Target Audience/ Mode of address The target audience would be young teenagers between the ages of 14+. I

chose young people because they are often unaware of knife crime.

Also, were living in a society where holding a knife or weapon makes us look ‘cool’. Therefore teenagers would want to look cool so they would end up holding a weapon just to fit in society.

The secondary target audience would parents as they would understand the affects of knife crime then they would find ways to avoid there child to be affected by knife crime.

The video would also, consist of a presenter participate who will be presenting the documentary. He/she will meet with a family who had lost a loved one through knife crime. Also, the video will consists of statistics and and an interview of a person from a knife crime charity.

Initial Idea 2Smoking Kills

Content/Purpose The purpose of this documentary would be to stop people

from smoking as smoking causes thousands of deaths in the UK. Perhaps making this documentary would enable people to see the harsh reality of smoking as well as the long term effects of smoking.

This documentary will cover a mans life on smoking and how it affected his health, the video will also, consist of the mans family talking about his addiction and how they try to stop him. This would enable the audience to feel sympathy for man. And perhaps this would enable them to find ways in which they can stop smoking.

Initial Idea 3BREXIT

Content/Purpose The purpose of making a documentary would be

to illustrate how much people dislike immigrants as well as to show people to know and understand the effects of Brexit. This could be shown through as soon as the results of Brexit came through the Pound currency rate went down dramatically. This suggests that leaving the EU will have a major affect in the economy.
