Idea Explanation and Examples Advantages DisadvantagesRising Crime Rates - Lauren Rosenfeld

In the year 2017, the crime rate in Redbridge has far exceeded the UK average crime rate across similar areas. The main sources of crime were from anti social behaviour, burglary, robbery, vehicle crime and violence. 683 more crimes were reported in the last year, which is 242% more crime than national average. There were also 352% more burglary/theft offences than average, 250 anti-social behaviour crimes reported and 177 violent and drug offences reported. The number of homicides, weapons offences, criminal damage charges, incidences of shoplifting and acid attacks have all seen an increase. Due to these increases in crime rates within the Borough of Redbridge, it is important that the local residents are made aware of them in order for them to feel safe in their community. By creating a social action project on

One advantage of creating this social action project is that we have the technical, equipment to create a professional production. This means that there is the possibility of a lot of people watching it and spreading the word on the rising crime rates. More people will also want to watch it if it runs well, due to our experience in creating short films.

Another advantage is that we and the audience will learn more about our local area, due to the research we will have to undertake. This coincides with Blumer and Katz's uses and gratifications theory, in which people actively seek out specific media to satisfy their specific needs.

However, there are also some disadvantages that may prevent us from creating the video. One of these is time constraints, as we only have a certain amount of time to film the video. Especially as we have to film interviews, reconstructions etc. Therefore we will need to make sure we stick to deadlines in order to have the most amount of time to film the video. If we run out of time this would result in a low quality production that would deter people from watching it.

Another disadvantage are our finances. We will need to make sure that the budget is well done in order for us to create a


the rising crime rates, we will not only inform the public, we will also have informed potential criminals of the implications of committing crimes in order to deter them from doing so. East London is also the epicentre of acid attacks, and Redbridge has the fourth highest recorded rate in the capital. This means people may feel unsafe, especially as acid attacks can have both emotional and physical effects on a person's health. Therefore, i have chosen rising crime rates as a potential social action project, as if nothing is done, it will keep on rising, and become out of control. This project will also raise awareness of the rising crime rates and what the locals can do about it in order to lower it, and stop them from rising further.

For the social action project, i will interview several different people who have experienced different types of crime within the area, ranging from theft and anti social behaviour to acid attacks, to hear how the crime has affected their

The audience are responsible for choosing media that meets their needs, especially if they are interesting in local issues that may affect them.

Another advantage of creating a social action project based on the rising crime rates is that it is a niche in the market. Meaning that it has not been done before and no one has looked into creating a video on it, which would benefit the community. By having an idea which is niche, this means that there is the possibility of several people watching it as it is brand new information that they have not seen before.

Another advantage is that by interviewing people who have experienced crime we can help them

professional production. If we spend our money wisely this will contribute to us creating a video that looks good so that others are encouraged to watch it.

We also need to stick to legal constraints. For example, we cannot breach the defamation act, which states that we cannot damage another person's reputation as they will have the right to sue. Therefore, we need to take the time to make sure all pre production documents are in order especially the release forms and that they are signed by the right authoritative figure. For example, if we are to film on a location that requires permission, we must make sure to get the permission forms, so that we are able to film and finish the project on time.


lives. We may also be able to contact the local police department to hear what they are doing to stop the rising crime rates, so that locals feel safer. Another thing we will be able to show in the video are reenactments of crimes that have happened, which adds realism, and may shock the audience into taking action. We will also interview local people on the high street, asking if they feel safe and what should be done about it if they don't, which means we will get a range of opinions.

In the past two years 528 of the 800-odd acid attacks took place in east London, with the victims usually male and in their 20s. Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI) is a not-for-profit charity whose sole purpose is to end acid violence at a global level. Executive director Jaf Shah stated “It does seem like within the criminal community acid is becoming the weapon of choice,” he said. “It’s very cheap and accessible.” Therefore, something

and they can discuss their emotions with us. This may also help anyone else who has been a victim of crime and has not had the chance to talk about it with anyone. By adding in real life experiences and having others view it it may encourage them to be safe in their neighbourhood. For example, if people say their experience on being burgled this may motivate others to install security system stems and cameras within their houses which will in turn help police if a criminal has been successful.

Another advantage of us creating this video is that we will raise awareness of the types of crimes that are on the rise, such as acid attacks and how to remain aware at all times. We will also highlight common crimes that are

There are also ethical constraints, especially if we were to interview victims of crimes we would need to remain professional and consider others feelings. Victims may feel uncomfortable as this is a sensitive topic and therefore, we may need to build a rapport to get them to open up which would take time to do.

Another disadvantage is that the reconstructions may not be realistic, and therefore, we will need to select appropriate actors to portray people. We will also need to spend the budget appropriately on props that will add to the realism.

Another disadvantage is that we will have to spend a lot of time researching people within the area who have been victims of

Burglary is also prevalent in Redbridge, with 55 homes in every thousand in Redbridge have suffered break-ins in the last five years, which is the highest in the UK. Redbridge Council leader Jas Athwal stated that burglary remains a top priority for the Redbridge Safety Community Partnership. He added “As part of this work, we urge Londoners to take action to safeguard their homes by following our simple crime prevention advice.”http://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/crime-court/redbridge-postcodes-top-the-list-for-burglary-claims-across-the-uk-1-4860998

still prevalent such as theft, and show reenactments to enforce the idea to be aware, particularly on the high street.

crime. Once we have found people, they may not want to feature in the video, which means we have wasted time and could cause a disruption to the production.

Another disadvantage is that when interviewing people on the high street, we must remain professional in order to keep those we are interviewing calm. The interviewees may become confrontational/aggressive if they do not perceive the question properly and therefore we must be clear when asking questions. We may also have property stolen by people passing by, thus we must keep the equipment close to us at all times and be ready to report this to the police.


Domestic Violence and Women's Aid - Millie West

Address: 11 Bentley Way, Woodford Green IG8 0SEContact: 0808 2000 247

The UK government defines domestic violence “Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are or have been intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality.”

The different types of abuse that domestic abuse covers, but is not restricted to include, psychological, physical, sexual, emotional and financial.

Controlling behaviour includes a range of acts that are designed to make a person subordinate and/or dependent by isolating them from sources of support, exploiting their resources and capacities for personal gain, depriving them of the means needed for independence, resistance and escape and regulating their everyday behaviour. Coercive behaviour defines as an act or a pattern of acts of assault, threats,

One advantage of creating a documentary on domestic violence and Women’s Aid, is that it can make the public aware of such issues. As mentioned, domestic violence is almost seen as a hidden crime, due to the fact that most cases of it, occurs behind closed doors. By publicising the truth about what does happen for some women when partners get home from work or when the door shuts and there are no longer out in the public eye, videos and documentaries such as ones like this can help to make people more aware of the issue, what domestic violence actually is, and what is considered to be domestic violence. It can also help to inform the public that crimes such as this can occur to anyone, and what signs to possibly look out for - if there are

One disadvantage of creating a production on the topic of domestic violence, is that it may be too much of a sensitive topic. As a crime that does not always prevail itself, and can be all three of physically, emotionally and mentally damaging, to ask people or possible victims to speak about the topic on camera, may be a large ethical issue. Moreover, if people would like to feature in our project and speak about such an issue, they may not want their faces shown on screen, or they may wish to remain anonymous. This means that the actor or interviewee would need to be filmed without their own face, or real voice and so all interviews with victims of domestic violence or other talent, would need to be shown as a silhouette.


humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim.

Domestic violence also includes so called ‘honour’ based violence, including female genital mutilation (FGM) and forced marriage - which are both also illegal acts. It is clear to see that victims are not confined to one gender or ethnic group.

From the work and research that Women's Aid carries out, they concluded that domestic abuse is very common. However this specific crime is often very difficult to accurately quantify. Considering domestic abuse is a largely hidden crime that occurs primarily at home, victims of the crime and the crime itself may not be easily identified. Victimised women often don’t report or disclose domestic abuse to the police, and they may also under report domestic abuse in surveys - particularly during face-to-face interviews. In addition, statistics

any.

A second advantage of creating this production, is that we have the necessary equipment to do so. Some of the basic equipment that we are eligible to use includes, cameras, boom microphones and tripods to name a few. Not only do we have high standard and quality equipment, we also have the relevant experience and ability to use such pieces of technology, due to using them in our previous productions. This in turn gives us the power to create a realistic and powerful project.

This style and theme of production is one that is Interesting and is only rarely covered, which will hopefully give us a chance to make our production the most successful that it

One huge ethical concern presents itself, in terms of a production on such a sensitive topic. If people can relate, to the subject that we are planning on informing and educating viewers about, then it may be hard for some people to watch. It can be both a sensitive topic for possible victims of domestic violence and younger viewers. In addition it could-be a distressing subject for both of the above mentioned audiences as well as others as a consequence of the possible inclusion of distressing scenes.

Similarly, it will be extremely hard to find talent and people who will be willing to take part in our project, as it is a sensitive and personal subject.

A practical disadvantage


do not always take into account important context and impact information. Such as what form of abuse a victim may have been subject to, or how many times the incident/ incidents occurred. When these factors are taken into account the gendered nature of domestic abuse becomes clearer.

This topic is one that is very important, and it is crucial that people know about it. This is because it is seems as almost a ‘taboo’ subject in Redbridge. One that is seen as too sensitive to be spoken about, and therefore is almost a secret crime, which should not be the case.

It is an immensely important subject, because of the harmful effects that it can have on a victim physically, emotionally and mentally. In turn, people must know about it to be able to help possibly deal with a person who is a victim of such abuse, as well as be able to spot out what the signs of such a crime are. In Redbridge,

can be.

Another advantage of creating this project is that considering we are trying to inform anyone who is part of the public and anyone could be a victim, if the production becomes popular and gets publicity, then there is a chance that it can be shown all over the world. When there is not such a specific focus on domestic violence crimes in England and Wales, the worldwide statistics of such a crime dramatically increase.

Moreover, this production can make people aware of what they can do to help someone that they may know to be a victim of such abuse, on a personal level. For example be a friendly face to them, report it to an agency such as Women’s Aid or an institution with higher

that as a group creating a production on domestic violence that we may come across, is that it may not be new information for our intended audiences to find out. If our target market and primary audience are already aware about the rising issue of domestic violence - proven by the statistics shown, then there is a possibility that the production could become disinteresting for viewers to watch. As a result, creating a production based around both domestic violence and Women’s Aid, may be pointless, and the hard work, time and effort used to create a project which can inform people of the issue (which would turn out that they already know about) and publicise it would have gone to waste.

Programmes such as


as mentioned it is not a subject that is commonly spoken about and therefore by creating this video, not only could it be a conversation starter on the topic, but it could also could lead men and women to come forward about their experience of being possible victims. Some victims may be so used to this abuse that they may see nothing wrong with it, and may believe that it is normal, and therefore this video with educate and enforce that such behaviour is a crime and needs to be reported to the appropriate agencies.

In Redbridge, domestic violence has not got as much exposure at it should do, and by creating this video, it may help to reveal the issue in greater depth.

Key statistics provided by Crime Survey of England and Wales (CSEW) show that it is estimated that 1.3 million women experienced domestic abuse in the last year and 4.3 million

authority, such as the police, as well as support those who may have experienced or be subject to such a type of crime.

In addition, this type of project can educate the public on what people can do for charities such as women’s aid. For example volunteer to work on the help line, or educate people about the work they do, at events. As well as benefit themselves by learning more about the charity, what it does and what it aims to do.

A huge advantage of creating this project is that we have many contacts who would be able to help and inform us on the issue of domestic violence. They may be able to give us facts and statistics regarding the crime. These contacts include Women’s Aid, as well as other

Panorama and Dispatches have created media productions based on this topic before and so to make our successful, we must ensure that it is audience captivating and different from all of those that have been done before.

If the production were to focus on both the issue of domestic violence, as well as Women’s Aid, then ideally it would be useful and informative for our production company to film some of the charity workers, doing what they do on a daily basis as well as interview them and ask them what it is that they do as a charity, what their goal or goals are and question how we - as the public can help to achieve this. One issue with this is that it may be hard to film workers as what they do is crucial, and so we would


women have experienced domestic abuse at some point since the age of 16. In addition, on average two women are killed by their partner or ex-partner every week in England and Wales alone.

Domestic abuse related crime is 10% of total crime, an increase of 2% since the previous year. Moreover it has been averaged out that the police receive over 100 calls relating to domestic abuse every hour.

Last but not least, the volume of domestic abuse prosecutions completed rose in the year 2015/2016 to 100,930 from 92,779 in 2014/2015 – this is the highest level ever recorded.

Where gender was recorded, 92.1% (92,851) of defendants were male and 7.9% (7,992) were female (in 87 cases gender was not recorded). In addition, 83.3% (71,706) of victims were female and 16.7% (14,406) were male, (in 18,081 cases the gender was

charities.

Finally, another advantage of this production is that it can let women or men who are possible victims of or subject to such cruelty know that if they don't have the ability or power to speak out, that there are people who are their to and can help. As well as this, most importantly it can let victims know that they are not or ever alone.

have to film in the workers free time - that is is they have some. Moreover to be able to film on the charity's premises as well as their workers, we would need completed and accepted filming permission, location release forms and talent release forms.

A massive disadvantage of creating this project is a legal consideration regarding the talent that we may use or need who are under the age of 16. If any talent of this age range were to feature, they would need parental consent. Parents may not want to give consent as the subject of the project is one that may be both distressing and upsetting to some.

Not only will we need to find talent who are over the age of 16 for parental

consent reasons, but also, we can't have a programme full of under 16 year olds because it may seem too unrealistic, and we want our production to be a realistic as possible. Instead, we would like and need an actor who can portray and reflect the situation of a domestic violence case or interview study as closely as possible, to enhance the projects realism. In addition, talent must remain anonymous to ensure that any victim's reputation (who is used in our production) is not damaged and they do not become a target or get targeted by abusers or audiences. Swiftly linking on, finally the last disadvantage of this project is that we would have to follow the Defamation Act of 2013 to make sure that we are not at risk of being libellous


towards ‘Women’s Aid’ and ensure that we do not damage the charity’s reputation.

Recycling - Benjamin Goldstone

Recycling helps to reduce energy usage, which means it reduces the consumption of fresh raw material, air pollution and water pollution. There are four main recycling bins Plastic which include water bottles, plastic bags, plastic wrappers and rubber bag another one is glass products that can be recycled wine, beer bottles and broken glass. The third bin is Paper which takes magazine, newspaper, books and cardboard books. The last one is metal which takes drinking cans.

Waste materials are collected through drop-off centers, curbside

recycling minimizes global warming and its devastating impacts. During waste disposal, huge amounts of waste are combusted that lead to emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur, and nitrogen, which contribute to climate change and global warming. The great benefit of recycling waste material is that it plays a big part in protecting Mother Nature in the most balanced way. While many trees are felled every day, recycled paper manufactured from specific trees is continually utilized to reduce deforestation. Recycling old and used materials into reusable products enormously reduces the

Recycling is not always cost-effective. Building up a new waste recycling unit takes up a lot of capital. The accompanying costs include buying different kinds of utility vehicles, upgrading the recycling unit, waste, and chemical disposal and schooling the locals by initiating useful programs. recycling waste may not be less costly as most people think. This will only drive up the costs related setting up the new unit or upgrading the processing facility, collection of waste materials, acquiring different utility vehicles and other programes. recycling plays a bigger role in reducing the rate of pollution, the process has not been widely embraced


collection, deposit or refund programs. The waste materials are then transported to a materials recovery facility or recycling centers where they are sorted out, cleaned and processed into ideal materials for manufacturing. Manufacturing is when materials have been recycled are converted to useful products. Every year Redbridge residents produce around 100, 000 tonnes of waste. That’s almost 1 tonne per household. By taking simple steps to reduce, reuse and recycle your waste you can help save money and make a difference to your environment. recycling must be in the blue and black recycling boxes that we provide. Boxes should be left just within the boundary of your property by 7am on the day of collection.

possibility of choking of landfill sites. This is very helpful because it helps minimize land and water pollution. A major source of pollution today is industrial waste that comes from factories producing plastics and cans. If both products are re-used, instead of manufactured from scratch repeatedly, pollution can be reduced significantly. Recycling also promotes responsible and proper management and disposal of plastics and cans. Another good advantage is Electronics, old water bottles, and other trash can be sold for cash. So if you sell them, you not only save the environment, but make money as well. If you buy recycled materials, which costs less than the new ones, you will also save money. The more money you will make and save if you re-use some of

and developed. Unfortunately recycling still is just a small part of long-term success. Recycling is mostly common in schools and homes. recycling results in more pollution, higher energy consumption, and cost-inefficiency, making it less effective than what everyone wants to believe. Moreover, recycling still failed to dent demands. The demands for aluminum, for example, increase about 10% every year, but the amount of recycled aluminum falls short. Another disadvantage is The need for extra bins for different kinds of trash will also be needed. This can equate to more trucks to pick them up which then means it would increase air pollution. Collecting garbage on a daily basis may leave debris on the streets and recovery sites,


the trash that your home produces. Recycling can help minimize the cutting of trees, which are used to make paper. So, by cutting less trees and producing more recycled paper, we preserve the environment for future generations. Besides that, conserving forests will help the environment. This is because trees are known to improve air, prevent floods and provide raw materials

rendering these places unhygienic. Aside from that, recycling companies might abandon dump sites and leave harmful chemicals to contaminate the land and the environment. If chemicals are left on land which are harmful either the company can get sued or worse he land can get destroyed with something contagious. Recycling is only the first step of many towards preserving the environment. This is because they believe that the only real benefit of recycling is slowing the damage of humans. They also believe that unless humans really know the extent of the damage of waste, recycling will remain of little value to a lot of people.

cause various problems. Pollution can also be in the form of energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. There are mainly three types of pollution that can affect a local community and these are: air pollution, water pollution and land contamination.Specifically talking about air pollution which is the most impactful in such an urbanised city, it has been calculated that it causes a staggering one in 14 deaths in Redbridge and is knocking years off residents’ life expectancy. Also, recent findings have exposed dangerously high levels of toxic pollutants in the borough, especially around the A406 for example, in South Woodford, which is one of the worst roads in the entire country.A report by the authority estimated that long-term exposure to particulates, fine particles of dust and fuel that get into the lungs is the cause of 7% of deaths in Redbridge.

that this will address a problem that is affecting not only the local borough, but also the entire world as it is being urbanised as days pass. Also due to the equipment we dispone information will be spread out digitally which may be visible by the vast majority of the people as nearly everyone dispones of a digital device that allows them to access digital content such as these type of documentaries. Although pollution is a topic that has been touched in a numerous amount of times, we know that there are many people who ignore information given by other groups/companies/government as they tend to be professionally dedicated for a specific target audience whereas we will also be targeting teenagers which compone a big part of our society

which we don’ t dispone as much and this is due to the fact that we have to compete against other students who are going to produce high quality products which means that we will have to invest more in order to create a good final product. Alongside the problem of competitiveness, there is also the fact that pollution is a topic that has been tackled many times by different group of people or even by the government and it may be the case that people in the local area are already aware of the problems that pollution is causing as well as facts and datas meaning that the product might not be as successful as expected.Also seen as this project is aimed at people at a younger age, we need to be careful whether they have permission from their parents/guardians to be


Exposure to this type of contamination can also lead to heart and respiratory conditions including heart attacks and bronchitis.High Road is London’s second most-polluted place in London as Nearly 20,000 vehicles pass along the A118 through Ilford, Seven Kings, Goodmayes and Chadwell Heath a day, pumping out exhaust fumes, according to a London Assembly report which releases huge quantities of nitrogen dioxide, which can be toxic, alongside with carcinogenic benzene and particulates, which can cause asthma and other respiratory diseases after being inhaled by people. Other than them places, also Chapel Road, in Ilford, the A12 Eastern Avenue, Cambridge Park Road, in Wanstead, and Cranbrook Road also had high levels of pollutants.Other than pollution impacting the population, it also can have some consequences on the environment and climate as we all know, due to the use gases that pollute the air the Ozone layer for example has

and local community and are the ones (alongside with people between 20-30) who get affected the most by pollution (air pollution especially) and/or are the main cause of it. So focusing this specific target audience in such a project can be really convincing and advantageous for both us and the local community as awareness will be raised towards those who get involved most in the problems listed.

Another advantage is that as people get interviewed we can get real life experiences of what has actually happened to those people affected by these problems which will strengthen our documentary as the audience will feel more involved and dedicated and motivated to improve the community as an

shown in the public or not as this can cause legal problems.Another disadvantage may include the fact that some people may be aware of those problems and therefore feel “attacked” as this documentary is being issued to solve the problems they are making, this means that there has to be consistent professional use of language and interaction to not to offend the audience who is going to get interviewed and having a professional approach also involves being in care of the equipment as they can be easily damaged when being outside in the public either by people or us.Going back to the budget, the pre-production process needs to be crucial as to interview people in certain private or public places a certificate or permission


had a steady decline of about 4% in the total amount of the ozone which let ultraviolet rays and other unsafe radiations which have increased the overall temperature of the Earth as well as bringing more problems and health issues to those who stayed under these radiations without knowing. The main cause of ozone depletion and the ozone hole is due to manmade chemicals, especially man-made halocarbon refrigerants, solvents, propellants, and foam-blowing agents (chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs), HCFCs, freons, halons) which have anti Ozone reactions. The ozone layer is crucial for us as it prevents most harmful UVB wavelengths of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere, these wavelengths cause skin cancer, sunburn, and cataracts.

As mentioned before, other crucial effects of contamination and pollution in general include the well known global warming and the largest human influence has

overall as the real life experiences will affect them emotionally.

Furthermore, as we are going to research and give information to the audience about Redbridge we will also learn more about it and about the local areas as well as the audience who by being young will also spread out the word to other people as they often times use technology to send information around on social medias especially.

been the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide and public reactions to global warming and concern about its effects are also increasing but not as much as it should which is another reason why this social project aims at raising awareness on these things. Since 1906, the global average surface temperature has increased between 1.1 and 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit (0.6 to 0.9 degrees Celsius)–even more in sensitive polar regions.http://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/health/air-pollution-causes-one-in-14-deaths-in-redbridge-report-finds-1-3545150https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_depletion

Underage Smoking - Ben Karrass

Smoking is the primary cause of deaths, disabilities and diseases in the UK. Nowadays many young people start smoking or have tried smoking at the age of 16. 3% of people aged 16 and under are

An advantage of creating a social action project on underage smokers is that it can raise awareness to those why dont understand or realise how

A disadvantage of making a social action project on underage smokers is that we would need to get parent permission from people under 16 who


regular smokers in the UK, 18% have tried smoking before and 40% of young people start smoking under the age of 16. Nowadays cigarettes and Tobacco is very easy for people to get their hand on as the legal age to buy tobacco is 18. Young people who smoke have high risks of getting lifelong health problems such as cancer and heart disease. Children often want to try tobacco as it may make them feel older and more mature, not only does this persuade people to smoke but also being peer pressured by other smokers can lead young people to start smoking. One other cause of young people to start smoking is for people to watch advertisements on smoking as this could be eye catching, this is bad as they don’t include the health risks when smoking.

Tobacco is known to be harmful to mostly every organ system in the body, smoking is responsible for nearly a third of all cancer deaths in the United States. Smoking has been linked to other big health

bad and dangerous it is to smoke at a young age. Smoking is a big issue and if we raise awareness of it it can get more people aware of the issue and stop them from smoking.

Raising this awareness to underage smokers can prevent them from developing health issues before it starts. Creating the video allows parents to become more aware of their children and what they may be doing if it includes smoking as it is very dangerous. Parents will be able to learn new ways of preventing their children to not smoke at a young age as they know the risks smoking can cause.

Another advantage of creating a project on young smokers is that at this day and age a lot of people smoke so it won't

smoke as it's the law film people without permission under 16. Another disadvantage towards this is that the underage smokers may have parents who don't know they smoke so they wouldn't be able to get permission to be filmed from their parents.

People may feel humiliated to be filmed on underage smoking as they don't want other people to know about it, its private information so they don't have to be filmed if they don't choose to. Another disadvantage is that if people don't want to be filmed smoking underage it will be hard to make a video about it without anyone smoking. I disadvantage in this is that it can become very time consuming to find underage smokers as not a lot of young smokers are


causes such as pneumonia, leukemia, heart disease and reproductive problems. The most serious health problem is lung cancer and lounger people who are smoking have more of a chance of catching these health problems and not being able to live their lives to the fullest.

Smoking can very very addicting from the substances it contains such as nicotine. Nicotine has more of a threat on younger people as it can get them more addicted at a young age. people who start smoking before age 21 have more difficulty quitting than those who first try cigarettes later in life.

Creating a project on young smokers can spread information around the community on the problems and health issues it can have on their children. Sending a message can get parents more aware of the problem and allow them to try and prevent. The purpose of the video is to get underage smokers to become

be hard to film young people smoking for our video if necessary. As a lot of people smoke nowadays there are a lot of fake cigarettes in the market so for us to get one for the project won't be hard or expensive.

As we will be filming with professional equipment we want to make the video as realistic and eye catching as possible so we can create more higher quality footage to appear to the audience better, this will also allow they to take the video more seriously.

The video will help people learnt the health risks and dangers associated with smoking. Showing this in our videos can decrease the chances of underage people start smoking or if they already smoke it can make they stop. The video can teach underage

comfortable with being filmed for a documentary about the effects of smoking.

People may take the message the wrong way of smoking and find it good and desirable for people who smoke as it's hard to stop and easy to become addicted.
