These video's are examples of what we aim to demonstrates. The documentary shows the views and reactions of members of society perception of teenage pregnancy through the experience of the teenagers and their families. Which is what we hope to achieve, but instead we intend to personally interview individuals on their thoughts.

The framing of our documentary will also have differences, we hope to set our interviews according to the correct interview shot (the interviewee on one side of the shot,with no head room or a tight shot depending on the surrounding.In this documentary the interviewee is in the middle of the shot with space either side of her.

Like these documentaries we intend to use our voice over to introduce the scenes taken place, and also the use of cutaways to bring more meaning to what is being said by the interviewee.

Research into Target Audience (Chanel Akinwande)

Target Audience   

We have researched and discuss as a group who would be our potential target audience and decided to aim our documentary among the target audience of 16 to 34 year olds. We decided this age range would be more suitable as our subject matter is a very controversial. Our documentary is about how teenage pregnancy is viewed in society? meaning teenagers would need to grow up much quicker and become an adult.  We believe the age range 16 - 34 is perfect as 16 is the beginning of young adults and 34 is just about the end of young adults. We feel like this age range would be able to understand and could potentially relate to the situation and there would be a range in people's opinions. We decided to compose a questionnaire to find out what is our target audience and what they are expecting from our documentary. Research showed us that teenagers from lower socio-economic groups are disproportionally likely to get pregnant. Girls from working-class families are 10 times more likely to become teenage mothers than those from affluent, middle-class backgrounds.

Aim of the documentary (Chanel Akinwande)

We aim to inform the viewers how society view teenage pregnancy taken into account religion and politics. We aim to show real life examples of teens who had children young and pregnant teens. We want to put across a non bias report on teenage pregnancy.

How teenage pregnancy can be seen as a positive thing (Rebecca Ogunmola)

Teenage pregnancy can be seen as a positive thing in the lives of teens as it focuses on a big changes that require them to grow up and take more responsibility in their lives, as well as the benefits of being a young mother and growing up along with their child and providing themselves with purpose for their lives as they are more independent. It also makes them more mature and prevents them from indulging in activities like drinking alcohol and doing drugs.

Teenage pregnancy 'can be positive' (Taken from the metro)

The book, Teenage Parenthood: What's The Problem?, argues teenage pregnancy is not necessarily the result of ignorance about contraception or low expectations. Its authors say the majority of teenage mothers they interviewed were more motivated to succeed at school or work because they wanted to provide for their families.

Dr Claire Alexander of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) said teenage mothers were often stereotyped as "dysfunctional and immoral.

She said: "In contrast to the ignorance, fecklessness and hazardous consequences reiterated in policy and media, our research makes it clear that young parenthood can make sense and be valued and can even provide an impetus for teenage mothers and fathers to strive to provide a better life for their children."
