‘Trashed – Drinking & Destruction’
Our documentary, Trashed – Drinking & Destruction will be aired on a Tuesday on Channel 4 at 9pm. The theory behind showing the programme on a Tuesday will be that more people will be at home than say on a Friday or Saturday night and therefore this will broaden the shows audience and up numbers. We have chosen Channel 4 for the broadcast of our documentary, as it is a more lowbrow channel and therefore appropriate for the topics covered in this documentary. This channel is also useful as it provides an online catch up service called 4 on demand; this essentially means if viewers missed the documentary they can watch it online which will again create a wider and larger audience. We have chosen for the documentary to be aired at 9pm as this will allow for more explicit content to be shown as it will be after the water shed. The reason for this is that our topic will have a higher impact and effect on the audience by using more shocking clips.
The target audience for the documentary is teenagers and young adults as our documentary will attempt to persuade them not to drink underage or irresponsibly. However the documentary will also be aimed at parents to show them how much drinking is effecting youths today so they can be involved in the prevention of the phenomena ‘binge drinking’.
In the documentary, Trashed – Drinking & Destruction we set out to investigate why youths are drinking so much and the effects it will have on them in the short and long term. The documentary includes interviews with students and victims of binge drinking as well as nurses and a teacher to find out if enough is being done to help and prevent underage drinking.
Other documentaries that can relate to ours include Brighton Beach Patrol, shown on Channel 5 at 8pm and Underage and Pregnant shown on BBC3 at 9pm. These shows also cover the topics of underage and binge drinking. Underage and Pregnant relates a lot to our documentary in the sense of looking into why our youths are determined to grow up so quickly.
We have chosen to use various places to shoot our documentary including a local college, at a nurse’s home, and in Brighton. Reconstructions have been used where necessary to show the full effect of the dangers of drinking in young people. We have used cameras, a tripod and editing software to create our documentary.
