Topic and Title:
The caption of my documentary is going to be: Government Certification on ''sexy'' music videos?
I will obtain polarized opinions by introducing in my documentary a question that enables me to obtain polarized opinions.
The question will be: Are the government right in putting certificates in sexy music videos?
In my documentary, I will be interviewing Sadiq Khan who is a member of the Parliaments and deals with my issue. I will also talk to the British Board of Film Classification asking them about my issue too.
At last, I will also talk to one of my closest friends who is a rapper/musician and she wants to make successful record labels or wants to be involved in a music industry.
Mode of Address:
The style or mode of address of my documentary is going to be investigative, serious and a few critical modes attached to it. The reason why my documentary is going to be serious is because focussed subject matter that people need to know about and understand the ethics or morals of my documentary about the issue.
Purpose:
The purpose of producing my documentary is to lift the lid on the objectification of women, government censoring and the public's opinions about sexy music videos being published inconsiderably. I also have to find out whether censoring sexy music videos is right or wrong?
The key purpose of my documentary is to inform, educate and raise awareness to my target audience about government censorships on sexually explicit music videos. My idea appeals to my target audience as it is going to be made by a young person, so it’s interesting to see a documentary that is not made by a real professional adult documentary producer.
Audience:
My target audience is going to be collage teenagers who are from a working/middle class background. (For a proper detailed target audience profiles see the PowerPoint on altered target audience profile).
The subject matter is about the government censorship on sexy music videos. The reason why I have decided to choose this subject matter for my documentary is because I am, personally, interested in this subject matter and for my course I want to study it further so I can produce an effective documentary for my Media Production course. Yet also, the subject matter is captivating and relates to my target audience. It is a focused subject matter and it is current so it meets my aims.
Most importantly, the conventions of my documentary are:
- Nonfiction as I will be documenting an aspect of reality.
- My documentary is not a biased type as it contains a variety of other personal opinions from different individuals.
- I will be also using archive footage for my cutaways from the secondary resources such as the Internet, magazines or newspapers.
- Two expert opinions to make it believable and more realistic connoting that the documentary and the issues are for real in today’s society. I will also convey that the documentary is a current and new issue.
- Voice over narration, which will help me include more information in my documentary and display my cutaways during a voice over narration which will make my documentary more fascinating.
- Cutaways where I will be displaying relevant images or pictures in my documentary.
- I might also use long takes dominate or I might use the 5 shot rule.
Viability means the capacity to operate or be sustained. My documentary is viable or in other words, doable as I can arrange interviewers with the contacts that I have to make for my documentary.
Prior the interviews, I will construct professional and relevant questions for my interviewees. I am also able to conduct Vox Pops. In my documentary, I will be presenting the introduction and conclusion myself of my documentary and the characters. I have to mention that, my documentary is the viable because it is just for 5 minutes and I have by now developed my idea thoroughly to understand and acknowledge exactly what I am going to be doing to meet my aims and purposes.
Mode of documentary:
The Mode of my documentary is participatory and investigative.
The reason why I am going to participate in my documentary because it is much more better as I will know what to do or what to say for my own documentary. Yet also, my character may not be available 24/7. Whereas, if there are any errors in my documentary for the scenes that I am in, I can easily do them again.
Likewise, the reason why my documentary is going to be investigative is because my aim is to find out what different people think about the government censoring on sexy music videos? They will provide me with polarized opinions.
As I am from an adolescent life stage too, I can relate myself to my target audience when planning and producing my documentary. Personally, I like documentaries that are investigative and participatory which makes the documentary realistic and interesting for myself, as a viewer. Therefore, because I know that this mode of address or mode will appeal to my target audience I will use it for my documentary.
Presenter:
I have decided to present my documentary because it is my independently filmed documentary; I know what the story is about in depth and what I am going to be doing?
I want to present the documentary at the beginning where I will introduce my documentary to my target audience.
I want to be able to present the show as my target audience will be aware of who the presenter is and having too much Voice Over throughout the documentary can possibly result in losing my target audiences' interests or concentration. Personally, I like to see the presenter in documentaries being present in it as it feels like we are being talked towards by the presenter which makes the documentary interesting.
At the beginning of the documentary, I will be talking about the introduction of the documentary explaining what/why I am doing it. I will then include cutaways that are relevant to my subject matter. I might also have some background sound relevant to the documentary such as a song or tune.
Locations:
For my documentary, I have got a variety of locations where my interviewees are most available and the setting represents the issues or subject matter of my documentary. For example, I have to interview Sadiq Khan for my documentary, which is more likely going to take place in an office.
Whereas, I have arranged an interview in a studio for my other interviewee, who is a singer and a musician. This location is the best as it relates and appeals to my target audience.
At last, my third location takes place in academic premises where there are collage students who will participate in my Vox Pops.
A recent article or development that relates to my area of focus
Significantly, the key area of focus for my documentary is that I will be investigating the rights and wrongs in putting government censorships on sex music videos.
The 'Grazia' magazine talks about how the government’s going to introduce a certification system to rate music videos according to their raunchiness.

Facts and figures/ statistics for my documentary
Against the issue
1) Content Analyses of music videos indicate that up to 75% contain sexually suggestive material and more than half contain violence; sex stereotyping is common, with women being shown in a degrading fashion.
2) Ballard, Dodson and Bazzini found that 83% of their subjects predominantly White, middle to upper middle class collage students expressed a belief that messages found in song do affect behaviour.
3) Music has been shown to produce measurable physical responses, including accelerated heart beat and alterations in stress hormone levels and chills, laughter, and tears. Some parts of brains were affected by ‘ Shivers-down-the-spine’’ music as those involved in other gratifying activities such as eating chocolate, having sex and using cocaine. Songs have the ability to influence listeners/ viewers.
For the issue:
No research that specifically addressed the effects of songs as socialization agents for adolescents concerning love, romance and gender roles in love relationships was discovered.
