Secondary Research

This spread sheet shows us the amount of people getting plastic surgery in England and the rises and falls of the amount of men or women getting different types of surgery in different years. it shows us that 9,430 breast enlargements were done in the UK in 2010 going up by 10% from 2009 and women getting liposuction went down by 3.8% from 3,010 down to 2,896 from 09-10.

These are some statistics i have found whilst doing my secondary research-

• Sunbeds are estimated to cause 100 deaths from melanoma every year in the UK
• Sunbeds also cause premature skin ageing, which means that your skin becomes coarse, leathery and wrinkled at a younger age. So when the tan fades, the damage remains.
  
• Using sunbeds for the first time before the age of 35 increases the risk of developing melanoma skin cancer by 75%.

Sun beds

• Sun beds aren't a safe alternative to tanning outdoors. Like the sun, sun beds give out harmful UV rays which damage the DNA in our skin cells and can cause skin cancer.
• Sun beds are estimated to cause around 100 deaths from melanoma every year in the UK.
 • Sun beds also cause premature skin ageing, which means that your skin becomes coarse, leathery and wrinkled at a younger age. So when the tan fades, the damage remains.
 • By using sun beds people may think they look better with a tan which is why they do it but it’s damaging the body and could cause cancer.

People who are most at risk:

 • Younger people
• People who have a lot of moles
• People with fair skin
 • People who burn easily
 • Have had skin cancer in the past
• A family history of skin cancer
People who use sun beds underage increase their risk of malignant by 75%. In the UK almost 9,000 cases of malignant melanoma are diagnosed each year - and more than 1,800 die from the disease each year.

Ears: Reduce the size of large ears or set protruding ears back closer to the head

Eyes: Correct drooping upper eyelids or remove puffy bags below the eyes

Face: Remove facial wrinkles, creases or acne scars

14 year old Sophie Watson has had make-up tattooed on, she's had her eyebrows, eye liner and lip liner. She got her make-up tattooed on because she competes in Beauty pageants.

The make-up tattoos arn't illegal becuase it isn't classed technically as a tattoo, although Sophie does have two illegal tattoos, one on her wrist and one on her stomach which she got behind her mothers back

Articles on Plastic surgery.

"Even relatively minor mishaps can be unsightly and embarrassing, and plastic surgery gone wrong includes an enormous range of problems, from capsular contraction in breast implants (where the implants harden painfully) to problems with the wound and the slippage of implants inserted in a range of locations, including cheeks, chin, and butt. Surely we wouldn't wish these accidents on our worst enemies - unless they were in the public eye."

"Thirty years ago they were the heart-throbs of French television with their own primetime series on science fiction.

Now Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff look more like the alien life forms they used to report on.

The twin brothers have had so much plastic surgery they are barely recognisable.

Proposal Form

The topic of our documentary is going to be about external beauty, this will explore the advantages and disadvantages of things such as plastic surgery, usage of the sun beds and also the process a girl goes through to look good. We will be discussing the risks of surgery and influences people have as to why they go through these procedures, this could to be things as insecurities or in influences through celebrities and the media.

Our documentary will be direct, addressing the audience, although it will be direct it will also be informal directing the audience in a friendly way being unbiased towards plastic surgery and surrounding topics.

We have decided to place our documentary on BBC, we chose this because they show a lot of documentaries relating to ours, for example’ Snog, Marry, Avoid’ they also have a series of documentaries broadcasting at the moment  about lives of different teenagers with extraordinary lives. We also chose the BBC to broadcast our documentary as they are an unbiased and so is our documentary. We have to chosen to broadcast the programme at 9 o’clock on a Wednesday, we decided upon this because we feel this would be a typical night where our target audience would be at home relaxing, as it is half way through the week it will be advertised before hand letting people know when it’s on.

Our target audience will be woman aged 16-40 this is because after conducting our research people relate women with beauty more than they do men. We decided upon the age because 16 year old girls are beginning to get more body conscious and we found older people think a lot about plastic surgery because of the effects of aging. 

So far we have conducted a questionnaire which we handed out to thirty members of the general public, ranging from different ages and genders, the outcomes of these gave us ideas for our initial ideas. To further our research we shall interview a plastic surgeon which will give us knowledge along with statistics on his field of work making our documentary reliable. We will also visit a health advisor to further our research into the truth about the risks involved with sun beds and the reasons for things such as the change in law making the legal age to use sun beds to 18.

As well as using primary research we will also use the internet to enhance our knowledge on our chosen subject, we will be able to gain archive footage by using the internet as well as getting more statistics and real life stories about things such as surgery gone wrong.

Our documentary will not be telling a story as such; because of this it will classify our documentary as non-linear. As our documentary is unbiased it may flicker from different opinions on the subject showing the risks to the advantages.

In our documentary we will include various interviews with people who have had plastic surgery, we will ask what they had done, the risks they took, how it went and how they feel about it now. We will also be interviewing an expert such as a surgeon or a worker at a tanning salon. We will also include various cutaways of things such as questions asked to the general public and before and after pictures of celebrities of the changes that were made to their bodies.

Equipment we will need to use when filming and editing will be things such as tripods, camera, tape, microphone, a computer with Premier installed on it to edit.

Plan of Titles and Times

Title Plan:

• Beauty is Pain
• Pain is Beauty
• What would you change?
• What is your idea of beauty?
• Is Beauty Worth Pain?- We decided on 'Is Beauty worth pain?' as we can tackle it from both areas giving it a balanced argument.

What Audience are we going to aim it at?

We decided that women are more in to beauty than men.

So we would aim it on women and teenagers, we decided

on teenagers as 16 year olds are becoming more body conscious

and older people are thinking more into plastic surgery.

Is this all down to the medias influences?

What Channel would we show our documentary on?

We agreed that we would show our documentary on

channel BBC3.This is because it is a well known channel

for documentaries to be shown on. They show allot of documentaries

and programmes on beauty for example 'Snog, Marry, Avoid.' At the

moment they are also showing a series of documentaries about

teenagers with extraordinary lives. We also chose BBC as it is an

unbiased channel which is what our documentary will be.

What Time would we show our documentary at?

We decided that we would play our documentary on a week night,

at around 9.00pm. This is because we don't want younger

children to view our documentary as it may not be appropriate

for there eyes. As our audience aim is 16-45 we thought that this

was quite a popular time for them to be watching television.

Documentary Plan

Ideas:

• Exercise
• Fraud
• Family Life
• Animals
• Tatoos and the story behind them
• Stand up comedians
• Drinking- underage drinking
• Public Transport
• Baking
• Ghosts
• Fast food vs healthy eating
• Teenage behaviour
• Smoking
• Buisness
• Beauty/ Plastic Surgery

First Idea:

Teenage Behaviour-Drugs, smoking and underage drinking.

• Underage Drinking- Interview teenagers on how they get there alcohol and staff in pubs on how many try to get served.
• Drugs- Interview teenagers on there thoughts and opinions on drugs and what they may have taken in the past.
• Smoking- Interviews on how they afford to buy them, what made them start. Peer pressure or stress?

We would interview a range of teenagers, from 13 to 19 and hand out 20 questionnaires on whether they have taken part in any of the three behaviours before. It could include questions like; why? how do you buy them? Can you afford too? Do you enjoy it? Was it from bad influences? Have you considered the risks?

This was our our favourite idea of them all, however we thought differently about it as it would be a popular area to document.

Second idea:

Beauty- Sun beds, boob jobs, liposuction and face lifts.

• Liposuction
• Face Lifts
• Sun Beds
• Make up
• Boob jobs
• Tatoo make up

-Hand out 20 questionnaires too different age ranges
-Interview 3 people who have had surgery

• One on who it has gone wrong for
• One on someone talking about the risks that worried them
• One that its gone O.K for

Examples of people who plastic surgery has gone wrong for or have took it too far:

Pete Burns

Pamela Anderson

Jocelyn Wildenstein

Janice Dickinson

Megan Ryan

Micheal Jackson

Janet Jackson

Joan Rivers

Dolly Parton

Were going to include all the above people in our documentary to show before and after picutres. Showing if it had made an improvement and the differences it has made.

Codes and Conventions of a Documentary

• People are framed in a medium shot, medium close up and close up when being interviewed.
• When there are a number of interviewers thy use a range of shots and frame them from the left or right of the screen.
• The rule of thirds is used, this is where a persons eye line is a third of the way down the frame.
• Interviewees do not look at the camera they look at the interviewer.
• The interviewer and interviewee are always on opposite sides, if the interviewer is on the left the interviewee is on the right.
• The background reinforces the content of the interview.
• The light is always in front of the interviewee and never in front of the interviewer.
• When a interviewer asks questions they are always edited out.
• There are two reasons for why cutaways are used. 1. To avoid jump cuts when the questions are edited out. 2. To show what the interview was talking about and to break it up.
• Cut aways are used when some one suggest something after the interview so they film it after, when they incorporate other cameras e.g to do close ups etc.
• Graphics are used to show the relevance of the interview and the interviewee.
