Back to planning

After careful consideration I have decided that the genre of my short film will change from entertaining my audience to informing my audience.

The documentary esquee style change has evolved from watching the likes of Louise Rednapp's "About Size 0" and Kevin Mccloud's "Slumming It". This means that the following changes will be made:

- Two voice overs will be used to reinforce the idea of the importance of the disorder and how it affects more than one person
- The documentary will be less scripted and my actress Katie will be involved in the more generic places that are associated with this disorder:

= more detailed shots
= rapid opening
= talking directly to the camera
= more symbolic messages of size 0 dresses, shops, magazines, effects from the media etc.

Another significant change will be that of expert advice, I will gather five actors to act as professionals giving advice directly to the camera. Thus, making the documentary more important and realistic to what should really be expected from the disorder.

Therefore, through looking back to my original and new research I was able to find a clear direction for my shots, editing, camera style and narrative.
