1. A2 Media Documentary
By Mohamed, Ben & Paige

2.  The tittle of our documentary is ‘Here &
Queer’.
 It will be discussing how homosexuals are
perceived in society and the effect it has on
young homosexuals.

3.  In November 1969 Craig Rodwell proposed the
first gay pride parade in new york
 The first documented homosexual went by the
name of Canaan, the son of Noah
 In January 1973 Maryland became the first us
state to ban same-sex marriage
 Family Law Act 1973 statute – it quotes "only a
marriage between a man and a woman is valid in
this State”
 2001, the Netherlands became the first nation in
the world to grant same-sex marriages

4.  The main idea of the documentary is how
society feels towards homosexuals and how it
effects young homosexuals.
 Our idea is to create a documentary on sexuality
 We will be mainly focusing on homosexuals
 We will try show stereotypes that society gives
homosexuals.
 The tittle of our documentary was a result of a
questionnaire we handed out asking for suitable
tittles.

5.  Our target audience will be aimed at 16-40
 We have decide to choose 16-40 because
people these ages can relate to the topic
 This age range is also good as they are
emotionally developed and giving them a
greater understanding.
 The range of ages gives us a wider audience
as we would like to see the difference of
views in generations

7.  The USP of our documentary is that it will
include people off all ages and backgrounds
so audience can relate
 The idea if a documentary focusing on
homosexuality and society is very unique as
not many have been done before for such a
highly debated topic

8.  Movies that inspired us where ‘FagBug’, ‘Bi the
way’
 These two documentaries reveal how
homosexuals are perceived in society
 Another story that inspired us was the Jamey
Rodmeyer story
 Collectively by comparing both stories we found
there was a gap and that no one has mad a
documentary about homosexuality and how it
effects young adults.

9.  The documentary we will be creating will be a
real life documentary.
 Focusing on issues in society and how gays
are perceived in the eyes of the general public
 The documentary will consist of expository,
observational, reflexive and interactive
modes

10.  Our project is viable as it is very practical and
we will be planning it thoroughly.
 We will be looking for the perfect locations,
we will be writing scripts for the documentary
 Planning interviews with people so that we
can get peoples ideas across.
 The documentary will be globally viable as
the homosexuality is a world wide topic and
interests many race’s and cultures.

11.  The five-minute extract that we will be
making could be extended and developed to
cover all types of sexuality such as
homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgender .
 The documentary that we make could easy fit
in to a larger whole by just touching on all
types of sexualities and how they are
perceived in society.

12.  When doing interviews we will do some In
school to get students view on the topic
 The documentary will shot in places such as
peoples homes as the interviewee feels more
comfortable answering personal question
 Many of our interviews will be on the streets
asking their views on homosexuality.

13. Enfield Town shopping Centre. We
have decided to use Enfield town
shopping Centre so we can interview
the public and get their thoughts on
our documentary.
Football changing rooms. We
will interview one
Of our interviewees in a
football changing room as
this is shows the stereotype
that homosexual females are
more masculine.

14. Lea Valley High School. We chose
to
Use a school to interview students
and teachers
To get their views on the topic.

 Daniel 16th November 2012 13:00
 Andrew 21st November 2012 17:00
 Vik 23rd November 2012 17:00

24.  Before deciding to do a documentary on
sexuality we thought its was necessary for us
to do research on the topic to gain facts and a
deeper knowledge of the topic. After
searching the internet we found ONS data
presented by The Guardian.

26.  To stay well informed the research that we will be
doing will be constant research in to current affairs
with the homosexual community in London.
 We have also been researching similar documentaries
to get inspiration and get help to make ours successful
 More than 34,000 people die by suicide each year,
making it “the third leading cause of death among 15
to 24 year olds”
 Adolescent females are at far greater risk (10.3%
attempt suicide) as compared to males (6.2% attempt
suicide).

27.  We think that C4 would commission our
documentary as it will intentionally spark
debate about the gay community
 Also the documentary will attract a lot of
attention from the public
 Will be very entertaining to the general public
as many of them will feel strongly for the gay
community or against it.

28.  We have many samples of music that we are
going to play to soundtrack the documentary
these are a few of the ones we have decided
to use

30.  The outline of our documentary is to reveal
how society portray homosexuals and how
young people feel towards this topic.
