Risk assessment 

The risk of our group producing this documentary at various places such as across the road can lead to serious injuries for example a member of our group might fall and hurt our themselves or by carelessness not looking both ways before crossing the road it may led to a cause death by a car accident. 

Also another hazard is when using the studio light we should be cautious when plugin it in to the socket in case one of the members get electrocuted also we should take time for the light to cool down if not one of us can get seriously burnt.  

A final risk of recording in the school is the we may trip and fall over chairs and table.s

Documentary Change

Due to the class grouping i had to join a different group which had a different idea of a documentary. so now i am with a group of 4 and now doing a documentary about young smokers the documentary will include information that will  inform and portray that young teens are in being influenced to smoke in their early years of secondary school and are adapting to the bad habit of smoking. Through out our documentary we will be  interviewing a science teacher to get their views on the bad effects it has on to the body. then we will go on to interviewing a young boy about why he smokes and where he gets the cigarettes from and then finally a younger child know how to get hands on a box of cigarettes. The message this documentary sends out is to aware adults that its becoming more and more easier for children to smoke and to get hold of cigarettes and to reveal why more and more young children are starting to smoke within school with their peers.

Concrete Circus

The concrete circus is a documentary about a group of athletes  all over the world like for example Paris, London, Wales who don't do normal sports but street sports such as free running, style bicycle and skateboarding. But the way it has been presented is different from most others as it uses wild footage for example footage of free running and skateboarding and style bicycle how the athletes run from different building jumping over buildings and climbing up buildings.
they do the most  amazing things we would dare to do like super human things from taking the extra mile and they have a narrator who explains everything in key detail about the background and life style as youths and how they started their hobbies and developed in them and made it their life. 

During the documentary, music was used a lot to create a mood and to fit with the activity of the scenes portrayed like fast music and edgy music. 

while watching this documentary i noticed there were many different camera shots and angles which is used throughout documentaries,  this  is so that you can  viewing things form a different point of view. 

These are some of the shots i found:

• Wide shots
• Panning
• Tracking
• Close ups
• Mid close ups

Documentary Analysis

Please and Thanks


This documentary is participatory you see the the points of views of the the public and how they react to manners and politeness. This documentary is also expositor as it exposes a lot of the views from the older generation in that they say that the younger generation have less respect for everyone and do not have manners.This documentary can also be one sided as it only shows the point of view from the older generation not from the younger generation. it is also informative  as it tells us about how people feel towards the simple words as in please and thank you and having a basic common courtesy to be polite. the way the documentary is filmed is in different clips of the public talking to the camera and the interviewer ask them questions but you never see the interviewer only the people they ask questions to.


The King Of Laughter


This documentary shows a man who basics his whole life on laughing as he thinks that it helps him to survive. the man has had a lot of disasters in his life and by laughing he can forget about them. He narrates to the audience that he had a lot troublesome times but he just strides the hardship with a smile on his face. documentary is also is a expository documentary because the main person is being exposed of his life story. The documentary is also a observatory because we also have quick experience of his day in his life. 

My Documentary Idea

For my documentary i have thought through a lot of options on how i want to make my documentary and what i should talk about within my documentary and i have come up with the idea of making a documentary within school and the hidden truth on why in school you are peer pressured and bullied by your friends or your year group or year group above.  

within my documentary i will be discovering why students follow the so called cool crowed and how it effects their own life and how it can lead to being bullied.

i will be asking questions to students who are classed as the cool kids about what they think about peer pressure and if it happens to them and what they think of bullying. then i will ask the same questions to the kids who are outside the cool crowed and outcasted, then i will compare the results to see if there is any differences and the weak points and strong points from both sides. by doing this i will be  a strong knowledge of the opinions of the affected few from peer pressure and the views from the group who affect theses things on them.

my main goal for this documentary is to see what happens to students when being peer pressured and bullied and how it effects the person and how we can come against it and make life for students better and show children in schools how bulling affects a person and what can be the out comes of this. over all i would like to improve how children see peer pressure and show them that that its not all fun and games and then i would like by doing this decrease the levels of bullying and peer pressure within schools.
