Font

This is the font which we will be using throughout the documentary

which is called "Helvetica". This font is easy and clear to read which

is why is suitable to be used in our documentary.

Bill Nichols

Bill Nichols, an American academic, introduced the theory of
documentary modes in 1991 as an attempt to theorise documentary
practice. He suggested that there was a fairly direct linear progression
from the early documentaries of the 1930s to the present day,
starting with e xpository documentaries, evolving progressively into
observational, interactive and, finally, reflexive documentary styles.

Possible Broadcasters

I have chosen BBC 3 as an appropriate broadcaster to air my

documentary. This is simply because BBC 3 air documentarites

similar to mine and attract the same target audience that I have chosen.

BBC Three is also home to many pan-psychology based programmes
which bring topics such as addictions and childcare into an entertainment
and educational context.
In 2008 it reached 26.3% of 16-34 year olds in digital homes, 
Its share of the audience during its transmission hours is 2.6% among
15-34 year olds, and 1.7% among all individuals.

 

BBFC

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), originally British

Board of Film Censors, is a non-governmental organisation, funded

by the film industry and responsible for the national classification of

films within the United Kingdom.

The BBFC rates theatrically-released films, and rated videos and

video games that forfeited exemption from the Video Recording Act 1984,

which was discovered in August 2009 to be unenforceable until the act

was re-enacted as the Video Recording Act 2010^. Legally, local authorities

have the power to decide under what circumstances films are shown in cinemas,

but they nearly always choose to follow the advice of the BBFC.

All films and video games rated by the BBFC receive a certificate,

along with "consumer advice" detailing references to sex, violence

and coarse language. If a certificate specifies that a film or video game

is only suitable for someone over a certain age, then only those over that

age may buy it.

The BBFC currently issues the following certificates.

All ages admitted, there is nothing unsuitable for children.
Films under this category should not upset children under 4.

All ages admitted, but certain scenes may be unsuitable for
children under 8.

Films under this category are considered to be unsuitable for

very young people. Those aged under 12 years are only

admitted if accompanied by an adult, aged at least 18 years,

at all times during the motion picture.

12A-rated films are usually given a 12 certificate for the

VHS/DVD version unless extra material has been added which
makes it need a higher rating.

Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs,

commonly used swear words, moderate-strong violence/sex

references, and mild non-detailed sex activity.

Films under this category do not have limitation on the bad

language that is used. Hard drugs are generally allowed, and

strong violence/sex references along with non-detailed sex

activity is also allowed.

Only adults are admitted, and can only be shown at licensed

cinemas or sold at sex shops. This rating does not exist for

video games yet. Films under this category has material which

the BBFC  does not allow for it's "18" rating but is considered

acceptable by law. Thus the violence and sex activity will be stronger in

R18-rated VHSes/DVDs and films than those which are rated "18".

Logo

This is the logo that I will be using for my documentary.

It stands for Havering College Television.

This logo has been taken from the original BBC template.

This was created to give our documentaries a more realistic, professional

visual.

Documentary Certificate

The certificate I have chosen for my documentary is certificate 12.

The main reason why I chose this certificate is because the topic of

the documentary which is teenage pregnancy can relate to children as

young as 12 because they themselves are nearly teenagers,

and the information used in the documentary relates to their age group.

There isn't really a need for children as young as 12 to watch the documentary

with an adult because they would of covered a similar topic in their year 5 or 6

sexual education topic in school as it is compulsory to do so.

So children as young as 12 already have an insight on this topic and should

be influenced to watch documentarie such as this as it relates to their age

group now.
