Documentary Idea - Presentation Notes and Focused Ideas

“How Much Does Your Fat Cost”
How the media is telling younger people that they need to lose weight (Social Media stars advertising to younger audiences about “slimming” products)

“Approx. 12.5 million or 17% of children aged 2-19 are considered as overweight and teens that considered as obese or overweight has more than doubled in the last 3 decades”Source: LIVESTRONG

With hopefully Ethan as our presenter we will look at 4/5 ways to look healthier “Spray tan, How to dress thinner, Exercise, Interview a doctor, Shopping Healthily)

Spray Tan – As a joke we would get Ethan to get a spray tan to see if it makes him look better, it won’t but it will add a little comedy
How to dress thinner – Possibly go to a shop and get a personal shopper to suggest what you should wear to look thinner
Exercise – Ethan can try a couple of different types of exercise and can tell us if he thinks he could sustain it every day and if he enjoyed any of them
Talking to a professional - Ethan can talk to a GP or Health Nutritionist about what they suggest is the best way to lose weight
Shopping healthily – how much does it cost to buy healthy food in comparison to buying cheaper unhealthy food
Ethan is unsure if he can present, but as he knows the idea he would be ideal, but if he can't we'll start researching possible presenters maybe through castingcallpro

How the media makes us feel we are fat.
Companies are pressuring people to lose weight by targeting social media starts with younger audiences to question if they are fat or not. When the media attacks people for being slightly overweight it makes you self-conscious about how you personally look and how other perceive that.

Interview an expert who explains fad diets and how they can be dangerous especially to young people because they are not fully developed yet.

Going to a fat camp and seeing how people with weight issues are trying to lose weight. If any are willing to talk to us it would be great to know how they got into this situation and why they think now is the time to lose weight. We also would like to ask them about how they think the media is putting pressure on us to be a certain type of figure.

We are in contact with a boot camp in Maidstone which has already got some success stories on their website and we hope that they will be accommodating in letting us film and get some insight into people who have lost a lot of weight and how they did it.

We also have as a possible back-up idea of talking to professionals (Maybe models) who have to be thin for a living and ask if they like having that lifestyle and if they ever have stress about eating certain foods because of the fear that it might impact their chances in getting other groups.
