Idea three

How horror and action films influence

modern society.

Why we havechosen this title:We decided to choose this topic to do our documentary on for a few reasons. The main reason being that films especially action and horror are prominent in todays society and easily accessed through different forms of the media (streaming, T.V, cinema etc.) regardless of age.

This topic was also chosen because there are a range of ideas to explore on whether or not they do influence society such as making people more violent, increasing knowledge on certain aspects of life, or that they are purely for entertainment.

Target Audience:

The target audience we have chosen to focus on with our project are late teens/early adults aged between seventeen years old and twenty years old.

This age has been chose due to use being students and students are the most readily available vox pop, but also because cinema appears to be dominated by the youth.

However those older will be targeted as well especially if they are interested with film and the affects it ay have on people, such as media, film and psychology teachers/workers.

Broadcasting:

The main channel this documentary would fit well on would be ‘BBC3’, this being linked to the content of some of the informative shows they show already, which fit with the film idea. Such shows like fresh and movie mistakes. This helped us since these shows are relatively popular we know there is an audience ready to watch a show on films within that channel.

We choose a BBC channel also because of their reputation for being unbiased in most everything they do and with our documentary we are hoping to provide and equal argument with the points raised so it is itself unbiased and leave any answers up to the audience.

Narrative Structure:

Regarding the narrative we have chosen to go for a typical beginning, middle and end, so that we can take the audience through an easy to follow documentary with points raised and answered sequentially, so they can keep up and understand the documentary easier, due to the nature of it as it could become quite confusing and detailed.

We have also decided that we will have an open ending on the documentary, so that we can leave the viewers with a question, which they will be able to answer themselves, rather than give a biased answer to the audience themselves.
