society depending on technology as it would be easy to gain statistics and opinions on this
subject because the increasing use of technology is a contemporary issue. This idea was
also good as it relates to the concept of postmodernism.

7. Part C - Idea taking forward

8. Part C - Idea taking forward
We‟ve spoken to our teacher
about the whole combination
of topics, however as we
thought, it was a bit too
much topic in one.
So we decided to focus on one
topic to go on further which
was The Technology
Dependence.

What inspired me was the use of “montage” in the
documentary.
For example – these two

14. Part D - Documentary inspirations
In the “Slanguage”
documentary last year
they used graphs and
charts to show statistics
and trends which is
something that could be
useful in our
documentary.
The voice of God narration in March of the
Penguins was very effective and is
something that might/could be used in our
documentary.

Computer, originally meant a person capable of performing
numerical calculations with the help of a mechanical
computing device.
Binary arithmetic is at the core of computer systems.
This is a Binary

22. Risks of Technology
The advance of technology has brought a lot of different ways
to do things, like online shopping and availability of the
internet on mobile phones. However it has also brought risks
and dangers as well.
Credit card fraud: its now possible for
people to use the internet (or other Chat rooms
forms of technology) to hack into
someone else's accounts because people
use the credit/debit cards to shop online
nowadays.

23. Social networking sites mean
that a lot of your information is
being put all over the internet
and this can be dangerous
because you don't always know
who is viewing your webpages.
According to this article people are
unaware of what legal harm they are doing
by posting certain tweets on twitter. E.g.- in
the summer when many young people
posted details about the riots and twitter
users that went against court orders and
posted the identities of celebrities that got
injunctions to protect their private lives.

24. Video games have their
dangers as well: This article informs us about a boy

an entire day playing video
games.

25. Risks and concerns about technology
• Private information being shared and exposed e.g. addresses and phone numbers
• Scams, viruses and spam. – Easier to spot potential victims
• Cyber bullying
• Security breaches and hacking.
• Negative influences e.g. Grand Theft Auto games leading to violence.
• Anti social society
• Machines replacing people e.g. self scanners in supermarkets
• Hard to trace criminal activity i.e. August riots spreading blamed on Blackberry
Messenger and Twitter

35. Part I – Target Audience
We carried out research on people using questionnaires in order to find out if people would be interested in watching a
documentary about technology and which episode they‟d most like to watch.

series?
2 Males

Young more interested than the older
generations, been brought up with
technology.

36. Part I – Target Audience
Which episode do you like the best?
Episode 3
Episode 2
Episode 1
0 5 10 15
This are the results, that the audience
would want to watch the documentary, as
it‟s more interesting, “not really talked
about” and “everyday use”

37. Part J – TV channel
I think our documentary series will suit BBC three as the
documentaries shown on BBC three are more entertaining
and feature a wide variety of topics. The topics explored on
BBC three documentaries are diverse and can be really
interesting. Also were likely to attract a younger audience.
Two examples of documentaries shown on BBC
Three are storm chaser: the butterfly and the
tornado which is about a young girl who's
interested in weather and travels to the US to
see some of the most violent storms but she also
suffers from a rare skin condition called
Epidermolysis Bullosa. The second one is called
small teen bigger world which is about the life of
a teenager with restricted growth.

38. Part J - Time
• We‟ll show our documentary Thursday at 8 o‟clock in the
evening.
•We‟ve decided to schedule our
documentary after EastEnders on
a Thursday night because it‟s a
popular which most people are
likely to watch.
•If most of our target audience is
watching EastEnders at the time
we can announce after that our
documentary is being shown on
BBC three.

39. Part J – OFCOM regulations
• The watershed in the UK is from 9pm to 5am
• OFCOM states that material shown before the watershed
should be suitable for young viewers.
• We wont use any swearing, explicit images or sexual
references/imagery in order to keep in line with OFCOM
regulations.
