    1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge


    forms and conventions of real media products?
    Our media product developed and challenged forms and conventions of real
    media products by using these conventions such as mise-en scene, interview
    framing and cinematography. This includes everything that is in the camera during
    interviews as well as cutaways that are essential to the purpose of our
    documentary. When filming our interviewees we chose to put fashion props in
    the background that related to our documentary. For example in the shot below
    (image 1) we have a fashion teacher Maria Loney, for her interview we chose to
    film in her office, we included her computer, fashion poster and photographs she
    had of various things in the background to maximize the fashion aspect of our
    documentary. Also for our interviewee the fashion student we chose to have her
    in her classroom with the fashion products people had made in the background
    again for filling the fashion aspect. Many other conventions of a documentary
    were used such as various cutaways, footage, facts and images all of which you
    would expect to be shown in a documentary. The conventions used also related
    to the voice over.

    Image 1:
    Our media product is something that is not seen all the time as a documentary so
    I believe we are challenging the media as a whole. Our main question throughout
    our documentary is also challenging to society “is society affecting the way you
    dress” is an open question which can be answered in many different ways and
    also opens peoples minds when watching the documentary to a wide variety of
    concepts people can feel or be preserved as through the way they dress. As we
    only had five minutes to do the first part 1 to our documentary, we had to make
    sure we included all nessercary interviews and get the information we wanted
    across in this time. This included facts, figures and genetic conventions (Shown in
    image 2). We needed to get people to interview that had some relation to the
    topic we chose. Each of our interviewees had their own view that gave the
    documentary a broader view and made it appeal to all audiences, although we
    had a topic that could relate to all different types of social groups and cultures.

    Image 2:
    At this current time between social groups and the media fashion is a big issue
    with the ‘size zero model’ also a lot of bullying in schools and colleges even work
    places sometimes involve the fashion element, when we researched into possible
    topics this one stood out seen as we couldn’t really find any other documentaries
    on it. As a group we thought this was different and not like any other, we had
    seen before, therefore this was a challenge to other Medias. Most things on
    fashion these days have a negative view but we wanted to show both sides to it.

    As this is a documentary for the BBC we worked along the lines of their News
    Night analyzing some if their documentaries to give us an idea of what to aim for.
    We followed the lines of their documentaries to achieve the best possible, and
    make it look professional. This was essential because if someone were to view
    this that is a regular viewer of documentaries they would expect to see certain
    conventions so it was vital we included these. Therefore if we follow the
    necessary guidelines of true documentaries we should be able to obtain a quality
    documentary.
