Wikipedia Definition of Documentary (film)
Documentary film is a broad category of moving pictures intended to document some aspect of reality. A "documentary film" was originally a movie shot on film stock—the only medium available—but now includes video and digital productions that can be either direct-to-video or made for a television programme. "Documentary" has been described as a "filmmaking practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception" that is continually evolving and is without clear boundaries.

Brief
I will be combining the roles of producer, director and writer to create a documentary that will explore the theme of anorexia.
My target audience for my selected product will be female teenagers, and possibly parents of teenagers. Primarily my documentary will be aimed for people for most classes, such as working, middle and possibly upper class. This is because I think any person from any of those classes could have some sort of relation or interest towards anorexia.
My documentary will be approximately ten minutes long and will include interviews from anorexic people themselves, talking heads and experiments of people's opinions (such as teenage boys), I may also try to talk to people that specialise in this subject to give some useful information to my audience.

Coursework Project
We have been given a choice on a number of different projects that we are able to do our coursework on. I have chosen to make a five minute documentary, along with a double-page spread from a listings magazine focused on the documentary and a newspaper advertisement for the documentary.
The reason I have chosen to do this is because I made a documentary when I studied BTEC Media a few years ago and therefore are aware of the conventions. I am going to concentrate my documentary on anorexia and how the media effects those who develop eating disorders. I am going to do this project on my own as I have in mind exactly what I want to do and would prefer the independence, responsibility and not having to rely on others.
Tomorrow we have been asked to do a presentation infront of the class, that demonstrates our ideas and inspirations as to why we have chosen this project. This will be uploaded soon :)
