majority of people said it was good could still be better though, one particular person said they did not enjoy it at all. even if they did not all enjoy it, they all learnt something or another from this documentary. Most people said that they would change things about our documentary, i think this is because they all found things wrong and thought that we could improve in a lot of different ways.
most of our class rated our documentary 5 out of 5, few people rated it 4 or less. a lot of people said that yes it has changed there thoughts and opinions on anorexia nervosa. most people honestly would not watch our documentary twice to be honest neither would I! everyone gave some kind of positive feedback on how it was overall. out of this documentary people gained more knowledge on anorexia as our whole point was clear to get the audiences feeling sympathetic and to raise awareness on anorexia nervosa. Im glad about the fact that our documantary has inspired and informed people about why or how serious a simple thing like weight loss can be so seriously damaging for the person who's anorexic and also for there friends and family.

Issues in Factual Programming- Textbook Chapter
Accuracy
when any source of material is used to help illustrate a issue or a event in any factual programme, it cannot by any chance have any risk of misleading the audience. No false information must be used and for all the archive material at is used, it must be backed up with evidence to prove that it is true.information of one event or story cannot be used to illustrate another event to make the audience think there seeing something
there not actually seeing.
For all the information that is shown on any factual programe, theresearch must be properly done and checked over because we have to be careful about the release of certain things which in the future could be innacurate or proved as false for e.g. information on medical information, educational information or even any kind of advice because if some of these are followed it could be putting some people at risk.
Balance
balance is to keep the arguement or documentary even and fair on both sides. equality of information is really important in certain topics such as any political issues in the mass media. sometimes this balance can be biased in describing some issues by being more balanced towards points of views, somtimes more than the evidence supports. sometimes journalist present evidence and also arguements way out of proportion to the actual evidence it may have to support it and sometimes journalist also suppress information from the audience.
Impartiality
Impartiallity is when you have more of a neutral standing on a topic, by not being biased towards one side of the arguement. This applies for all services such as television, radios and also online on the internet.it usually lacks comparison, correspondence and also suitableness.
Objectivity
Objectivity is getting the main points through by being open minded about the points that are being made.tis usually refers to gathering news and footages that emphasizes on mostly eye witnesses on account of the event. corroboration of facts usually presented with a mix of diffrent types of sources and with also a balance of viewpoints from a variety of people.
Subjectivity
subjectivity is to be keeping your personal views or feelings away from the issues because this can lead to more biased and more of a one sided topic or arguement.
Opinion
A view or judgment form edabout something, not necessarily based on factor knowledge.

Anerexia- documentary Pre production plans.
I had some basic ideas of the topics i wanted to discuss and some points i wanted to get through to people. i really wanted to raise awareness on anorexia and how much more popular its become as a general health condition in Britain over the past 10years. i also wanted to discuss how anorexia is promoted on television and on the Internet and how this is effecting so many people in so many different ways but they don't know it.
anorexia's becoming a really common thing with both men and women, teenagers and children. The people that suffer from anorexia, have no idea of all the side effects and all the health issues its going to give them, they don't know how its effecting them and also the people around them.
At first i had three main topics:
Fashion Industry :- i personally think this promotes anorexia ina way because they make it out as in being thinis beautiful, all models are thin, even on TV there always going on about women being a perfectsize, being size 0,size 0 is the correct measurement in the USA, for a size 6 in the UK.
Celebrities & Models :- they are all thin, most are under wieght and a high percentage of them have had some kind of surgery.
Health Advise websites & websites Designed for Social Networking :-
Anorexia amongst the general public :-
Health conditions :- Health conditions that come along with anorexia that people don't think about.

Mise En Scene
The Mise En Scene for this documentary wont be set in any specific way. we are doing this because its a documentary and all of the clothes and other props will be the actual stuff and not stuff we have set up to create a certain look. almost everything in this documentary is going to be natural as we are even going to be shooting inside Ayaan's home. However some things can be set by us such as the room and the lighting. These are a very important factors in our documentary because it creates a complete different atmosphere for Ayaan and it also helps set a mood for our audience. For example if we have her sat in a sunny bright lit up room it gives the audience good vibes and this sets them with a very optistimic, happy, good mood. on the other hand if we were to put her interview in a grey, dull room it would let of negative vibes which gives the audience a sad, miserable feel.
we might need to use a few back drops because we can use it to show a tidy back ground for some of the interviews. If the back grounds too busy it might take the audiences attention towards unnecessary things and also because it wont look very professional or like an actual documentary, it would look more like a home video just stuck together.
We wont be setting the rooms in any specific way because were going to go and record in Ayaan's home, in a comfortable environment. Other footage's will just be around school which means we cant really set the rooms in any way for our documentary.
the only props were going to be using are the camera and the tripod for the recording of the video clips and the interviews.

King Of Laughter
Mode of Documentary
This documentary is a mix of different types of documentaries such as Observational documentaries. I think this because it does not have any information titles, no interviews and it just observes one guy and how he became what he is. This documentary is also a participatory documentary because it is actively engaging with the situation by asking people questions, getting opinions and by sharing experiences with them, In King of Laughter they do this by getting people to laugh, they show a lot of people laughing this is an example of them engaging with the subject, getting opinions from old people on why they laugh.
What's the purpose?
the aim of this documentary is to inform people about laughter and to get people to think about the brighter side to everything, because the protagonist Belachew Girma has had a lot of problems in his life and his solution was to laugh it out and because of this he is famous, for being the world record holder and for having the longest continuous laugh.
Who's the audience?
the audience for the documentary is basically anyone. I think this because it shows people from different ages and the y are discussing a topic that everyone can relate to and has some kind of experience or knows something about. In the documentary it shows elderly people discussing general problems in house hold such as people not spending enough time with each other, or enjoying anything because all they do is watch television.
Construction
they start off by giving the location and a basic fact about it being the unhappiest place to live in the whole of Britain and they start to introduce him to the audience by mentioning the fact that he has come to try and change that, they mention him to the audience as "one man" but don't give the full details or give the viewers his name.while there doing this they give short video clips of the location Walsall.
