YouTube LINK TO FINAL FILM - AMBER, AMY, JACOB

REPRESENTATION- AMBER

The main focus of our documentary is a woman, Lola Rouge. Women in the media often are subject to stereotyping of gender roles: namely a sexual, domestic or passive role. Imagining our documentary was real, and that Lola was real, she does not adhere to these negative stereotypes. Although delusional, she has a strong character and is very dominant in her manner. However, the fact that she was once a famous singer -and particularly in the performance scenes- she does take on a role based on physical appearance and attractiveness, as it is a huge part of who she is.

Class is also a theme in our documentary. Lola was once a superstar, and the differences in her lifestyles (before and after her downfall) are evident. Her clothing changes dramatically, from a glitzy dress to a tracksuit- a stereotypical clothing choice of "chavs" (a working class stereotype). The view of the exterior of her home also highlights a working class / underclass lifestyle.

Some documentaries have footage, then a short title sequence, and then the rest of the documentary, followed by the closing credits; others have the titles and some opening credits immediately; others use variations of these.
In our documentary we hope to have a short title sequence immediately.

'WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER'- AMY

In our documentary we are using the song 'When Love Takes Over' by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland. Usually on projects like this copyright music is not allowed to be used however after looking at the terms and conditions of Kelly Rowland’s record label we found we could use the piece if it was for educational purposes with out breaching the copyright law; below is the actual paragraph from the website:
