My documentary plan/treatment.

For my documentary i am going to base it on the 'pressure to be perfect' and how people feel when they  see skinny people in magazines and weather they feel the need to want to be skinny and if they feel pressured by societies view on perfection. I am going to get peoples opinions on all of the images and if they know anyone suffering from any eating disorders or illnesses or if they know anyone that has been through it. The questions i am going to be asking in my documentary are going to be:

Q1. Do you feel the pressure to be perfect when you see thin people in magazines?

Q2. Does seeing thin people in magazines make you want to lose weight?

Q3. What is your view on magazines and young people of today being diagnosed with eating disorders?

Q4. Do you think images in magazines are a main cause of people wanting to be 'perfect' and thin?

Q5. Do you think thin celebs also have an affect on people when they are shown in magazines as thin?  Do you think people want to be like their favourite celebs? E.g. Nicole Richie.

Q6. Do you know anyone that has been affected by the pressure to be perfect or do you know anyone who is currently being affected at this moment in time?  If so, how does that make you feel?

Q7. Do you have anything to say to all the people that that want to be thin like people in the magazines? Do you have any advice for them? (LOVE IS LOUDER THAN THE PRESSURE TO BE PERFECT)



The reason why i wanted to do my documentary on magazines and the pressure to be perfect is because  i have seen people go through it and people currently going through it and i also feel pressure by societies view on perfection to be perfect. When all you see is thin people and rarely any bigger people, i assume that it is what people like and that no one likes plus size people, and i lost 2 stone a few months ago after leaving school and i lost it quick and i am interested if anyone else has been affected by it. But being skinny is not what most people like, people don't like BONES. But i feel like magazines have a massive affect on people feeling the need to be skinny and i am interested on how people feel about all of the magazines and stuff.
