Treatment for Channel 4 Documentary

I am creating a documentary for Channel 4 which is focusing on the negative affects of video games on todays youth. This was an idea that I got from carrying out a questionnaire and I thought it would also be a good idea as I am a gamer so making it more interesting for me to do. My documentary will look at games such as Call of Duty and in particularly the airport scene in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as well as the game Grand Theft Auto which comes with an 18 rating but many children play the game. In the 5 minute extract I am also hoping to integrate an interview or possibly multiple with parents discussing the negativities of the game to me. Also I wish to conduct interviews with a teacher who can discuss the ways in which video games effect his pupils. Hopefully my intro and outro can both be in a supermarket, standing in front of a shelf with games on it, I am not 100% sure how Ill do this though as I wont be able to corner off an isle to record. My documentary will hopefully appeal to the mature parents of Channel 4s audience, through the language and topic discussed.
