Welcome Paragraph

Hello internet users and welcome to my factual documentary blogger page, On this blogger I will be showing me planning my documentary and doing Research into the idea of my choice. I will also be showing all of my different paperwork I have had to fill out and the interview questions that I will be coming up with to ask the interviewees. I will also be showing my editing log on what I did whilst I was editing my documentary. My documentary idea is Metrosexuality and what I wan to find out during this project is why do men go to salons now and why do they care more now about there appearance now. I also want to find out is that do men care about themselves to attract the opposite sex or is it to feel good about themselves. Where I want to film my documentary is at Jo Ferns in ashton because I will be able to get interviews from men and women to get different opinions on metrosexuality and why do lads care more now about there appearance.

Proposal

This blogpost is going to be about my documentary that I am going to be creating is my proposal for my Documentary about Metrosexuality. 

Subject Idea

The subject idea that I have chosen for my documentary is Metrosexuality and what I am aiming to find out is why do guys wear make up when they go out and is it to impress girls or is to let them feel good about themselves and the same with women. I am going to be interviewing people from places such as salons and I will be interviewing men and women to get different peoples perspectives. I will also be doing some research on why men mainly wear make up when they go out and why they take so long to get themselves ready and is it to feel good about themselves or is it to impress women when they are out in town and why do women do the same thing. 

Genre

The genre of my documentary will be factual and I will be interviewing some of the students at college and I will also be going to a salon where I get my hair cut and interviewing some of the workers who work there men and women and I will also be getting cutaways in there of people getting there hair done and just footage of what is happening in the salon. I have chosen to interview men and women to get a different view from both and I will sort out interview questions for both men and women. 

Audience 

The audience of my podcast will be from ages 16 and above because the majority of men and women who go out to town on a weekend to places such as Clubs, Pubs, Restaurants will try to look there best for when they go out both men and women so this is why I have chosen 16 and above for my Documentary. 

Participants 

The participants of my documentary will be workers at a salon where I go to get my hair done and I will be interviewing men and women who work in there because they cut peoples hair who go in and try to make men and womens hair look good and you also have to pay a lot of money for when you go in because they style me and womens hair so this will be the reason I will be interviewing them. I will also be interviewing some of the students who are in my Media group at college to get there views on why when they go out they try to make themselves look the best and why they do it. 

Intended Channel

The intended channel for my documentary will be a ITV 2 documentary because they show a lot of scripted reality shows such as The Only Way is Essex and Made in Chelsea and my documentary will be similar to these. 

Format

The format that I am going to be using for my documentary will be using formal language whilst I am doing my interviews because I want to make my documentary professional enough. My documentary will be calm, formal and upbeat and my documentary will be an observational documentary because I will be observing people getting there hair cut and people getting there hair styled. 

Programme Concept

This blog post is going to be about my idea for my Documentary. My first Idea that I came up with was the carry on with my transport idea that I did for my podcast and going to the transport museum and interviewing people who work there. Instead I discussed the idea with my tutor to create a documentary about Metorsexuality and why do men and women care about there appearance more and get there hair cut in a certain way. Also another thing with Metrosexuality is that I want to find out why men get there hair cut in a certain way and why are men now allowed to wear make up and wear girls jeans and why do they wear a women version of leggings. I also want to find out with men caring more about there appearance when they go out is it to impress girls or men or do they dress in this certain way to make them feel good about themselves. I will be going to places such as salons and barbers and interviewing people who work in these places and I will also be trying to get some views off customers who work at salons and barbers as well as the people who are working there and I will be getting cutaways of people getting there hair cut in the salon and just what goes on in a salon. The main idea to get out of my documentary is what do women feel about male grooming and has it changed over the recent years. For the men I will be interviewing it will be more is your hairstyle important to you and why do men care about there appearance is it to look good or is it to feel good about themselves.

Similar Programs Geordie Shore

Geordie Shore

Another Similar program to my idea will be Geordie shore because the main aim on the show for the guys and girls is to put fake tan on when there going out also on this program they spend hours on doing there hair to make themselves look good then get themselves ready to look good in front of the girls and this is similar to my idea with guys wearing fake tan and having really big piercings and wearing tank top vests to ether make themselves look good infront of women or it is just to make themselves feel better about themselves. Anther reason it is similar because again it is scripted reality so the script writers will write the script for them and they will say whats on there in the program.

Similar Programmes The Only Way is Essex

The Only Way is Essex 

This blog post is going to be about the similar programmes to my documentary that I am going to be making which is about Metrosexuality. The Similar Programmes to my idea would be programmes such as The Only Way Is Essex because in that Television programme it is about a load of girls and lads who wear fake tan and go out and dress themselves up to try to impress girls or feel good about themselves to try to attract women on the show and they also have fake tan on a lot whilst being on the show both men and women. The Only Way is Essex is a Scripted reality show which is where the writers will write the script for them to say on the program.
