Voiceover Script (Victoria Nwaeze)

 
For over a period of years sex and young people have been a growing issue all around the UK. In 2008 the NHS survey national statistics show that 57% of young people between the age of 16-19 were having unprotected sex. In 2009 it was seen that 47% of young people between the ages of 13-15 are sexually active and are either not using contraception or not using it right. Is this because they have been led astray by their peers or have these young people not been receiving contraception advice and information early enough? We follow pregnant teen Nafisat to explore her view on young people and contraception?

 

Young people friendly are a very popular service that provides free contraception and advice for young people under 25 all around the UK.



In December 2008 and 2009 it was shown that the most common type of contraception amongst 13-15 sexually active young people were condoms. At the age of 13 5% of young people used condoms, at the age of 16 % of young people used condoms and at the age of 15 35 % of young people were using condoms

 
Sex is becoming very popular amongst young people between the age of 13-15 as the years go on. Why is there a rapid increase in teenage pregnancy and teenage abortion? Is it because they are being exposed to information about contraception at an early age, which may enable them to gain ideas or is it something the British society will just have to sit back and watch, so the question we need to ask ourselves, young people and contraception is it right ?

 
There are different views and opinions on young people and contraception, some people argue that it is wrong that young people between the age of 13 and 15 should not be exposed to such information at an early age, however some people argue that young people of that age should be receiving contraception and advice on it, as if they do think of ever having sexual intercourse they would be fully aware of how to use and the consequences of not using it, sexual health advisor demonstrates how to use a condom safely.

Another issue is if it is morally wrong? As some religions such as Christianity and Islamic faith believe in no sex before marriage therefore anything surrounding the subject is for bided.

List of cutaways (Group)

Below is a list of cutaways we used to make our documentary more engaging and to capture the attention of our audience. Also we had to ensure that the cutaways we used were relevant to our documentary.

List of Cutaways

Software (Kafayat Shonubi)




This are the software we would be using during the production of our documentary.

  • Blogger: This is the software we would put every piece we provide relating to our production e.g notes and images.
  • Scribd: We used this in order to make our blog look presentable and less messy. This is to make it much more easier to read and understand to people who view our blog.
  • Final Cut Pro: This is the software used to log, capture and edit our footage to make it look verisimilitude.  
  • Bubbl.us: This is used to create the brainstorm of our documentary.

Actors Release Form Template (Victoria Nwaeze)

Actors Release Form



This is the actors release form that we gave to each interviewee we intervied. This document gives us their concent to be filmed, also if they were under the age of 18, we would have got parental concent.

Voiceover Profile (Kafayat Shonubi)


Name:- Roxanne Darkin
Gender:- Female

We have used Roxanne as our voiceover because we feel her voice would make our documentary more effective than a mans voice. This is because our documentary is more dominated to the females than the males because the main use of contraception been handed out to young people is to reduce the amount of teenage pregnancy in UK and to protect them from STDs . This would enable viewers to engage with our documentary.

The broadcaster in which we have choosen for our documentary to be aired on is BBC Three. BBC Three offere a wide range of educational and entertaining documentaries.
Reasons why we choose BBC three as our possible broadcaster :
  1.  Their target audience ranges between 13-34 , and our documentary is targeted at young people between the ages of 13 and 19. This allows our documentary to reach our specific target audience and also other ages.

Weekly Updates - (Abigail Odum)

Week 8 


This week was the half-term and we all just carried on with work that had to be done on the blog. Also we contacted the school nurse about an interview and we are waiting for her to get back to us as she is quite busy. This week we also contacted the vicar of a church next to our college and we are trying to schedule a date to film.

Change Of Title (Group)

 As we carried out more research on documentary titles we found that our title didn't really fit in with the documentary titles which BBC 3 used. After a lot of consideration we have decided to change our title to 'Sex,Teens & STD's'. We feel that this title will draw more attention to our documentary and it stands out much more than our old title.
