Outline of our project

For my practical production we will be producing a documentary called 'dotcom'. This investigative documentary will be about the implications of excess use of social networking sites such as Hi5 and MSN. It will be focusing largely on paedophilia. Although our main target audience is teenagers, we will also be aiming at paretns in order to advice them on how to tackle any problems they face. In order to appeal to our primary audience, we will be giving the documentary an MTV aspect where fast cuts will be created in order to increase the speed and keep the audience interested. Also, a track called 'Slash Dot Com' will be played at the very beggining with corresponding shots of the keyboard and computer screen. This will immediately catch the audience's attention and appeal to them from the very start as it is loud, fast and hard-hitting. A sence of authenticity will be created with the use of shaky point of view shots, and a scene in Ealing Broadway (a setting our target audience is very familiar with). In order to not alienate our primary audience, we will be showing both sides of our arguement.
