Starting off the Practical Production

For the practical production we are working in a group of 4 people which includes Rupal, Karishma, Jyoti and Bhavishree.

Since October we have had ideas running through our minds about what we are going to do for the production.

After deciding that we were going to produce a something to do with music (as it was something that we were all familiar with) we started thinking about the form of the production. We thought that a documentary would be the suitable thing to do as we can use the knowledge that we gained in learning documentaries in module 2 to help us produce something that we were familiar with. Also because it would be ideal to make a documentary about the development of music as it can inform, educate and entertain the audience.

As time went on our ideas about the documentary had changed. We started off just wanting to do something about music and then realised to succeed we needed it to be specific to a certain thing within the music industry. This made us consider the way the media portray the music industry and how they believe that only violence may arise from the topic. ‘Music has been blamed for the increasing drug abuse... antisocial behaviour... lack of respect for authority’ finally we thought that talking about the development of music and how it has changed from a small socialisation subject to a full time career for many young people today, and how many teenagers tackle many obstacles to further a career in the subject they love and how schools and teachers help them to do this.
