what I'm trying to achieve.

what I'm trying to achieve is a series of documentaries that has a different topic every week. Each week it will have the same presenter, a presenter that is likeable and has a personality that the audience will like, this presenter will be sent on a journey each week and the audience will be sent on it with him/her.
For my particular project the documentary will be about the British youth and what they do with their own time and investigating into teenagers smoking and possibly the use of drugs and whether they're social smokers/users or whether it is becoming an addiction and whether their parents are aware, this will all be investigated and discovered by the presenter within the documentary.
originally I was going to be creating a documentary on the British youths party life and drug use but decided I wasn't 100% sure how to go about that and what footage to record so I've come up with a more specific idea of exploring into teenagers smoking/smoking the illegal drug known as 'weed'. I feel as though this is a better idea as it is more of a problem in todays society and youth and being a teenager myself I know first hand how much of a large proportion of other teenagers are smoking and I can do a lot of research to gather statistics that I can use as dialogue in my documentary.

Location: my first location will be Cambridge leisure park, I'm going to record a short panorama shot of Cambridge leisure when it's busy to use as an intro to my documentary to show how a large amount of the British youth do smoke and what a large scale it is on, even in such a small minor area.
I will also move to another couple of locations where there will be multiple people that will be interviewed and asked a series of questions by the presenter, these won't be specific locations they will be quite randomly chosen.
I will then move to a location that for the sake of the project will be described as a "known location" for teenagers to smoke weed at and there will be a few people there that are smoking weed, their faces will be blurred out through editing and they will be interviewed and asked questions like "why do you smoke this drug?", "do you know what harm it's causing you?" etc.

Aims and intentions

Aims and Intentions: How did it start?   A first-hand view into the party life of todays of today’s youth, is our future safe in their hands?   This documentary will be presenter lead, therefore the majority of the clip will consist of diegetic sounds, however there will be short series of non-diegetic sounds where the camera will be panning around to give a sense of locations and settings where the presenter will be doing a voice over and sharing information and facts. There will also be a series of 3-4 interviews. the majority of camera work will be a standard format focusing on the presenter following him around, however the camera will be used in various ways to give a sense of location and setting, a range of shots including close ups, and medium close ups to focus on people within the documentary and props used. I will construct representations of individuals and a select group of the British youth through specific choice of costumes...
