Final Idea: Character Biographies
Although there aren't any specific characters in my short film, I wanted to do some research into what people typically expect a teenager to be and how they behave to give me a rough idea of the expectations of my documentary.
I researched online to see what others had suggested are the most common traits amongst teenagers and conducted a survey using this as inspiration and received the following results:
1) What physical characteristics do you expect from a typical teenager?

2) What social characteristics would you expect from a typical teenager?
3) What intellectual characteristics do you expect from a typical teenager?
4) Where would you expect teenagers to mostly hang out?
5) What emotional characteristics do you expect from a typical teenager?
6) What behaviour do you expect from a typical teenager?
From this research I plan to take note of what a wide range of people would expect from the teenagers that will feature in my documentary. As well as playing towards the expectations from the research, I also want to challenge the views to show some people that view teenagers as loud and a bad influence that most of them do work hard, have to deal with a lot of stress and can be more self conscious and insecure than they sometimes let on.

Sound: Silent Films
Silent Films can be seen as very effective as the message of the film has to be displayed in ways other than spoken dialogue. The audience often rely on the music and the acting to understand the purpose and narrative behind and within the film. The use of silence can also encourage the audience to come to their own conclusion or feelings towards the film opposed to it being influence by the dialogue within the scenes.
Sound: Breaking the Fourth Wall
Breaking the fourth wall is a technique used in several films where the character/s within the shot almost come out of the film and appear as if they are speaking to the audience directly, completely oblivious to those that are still within the frame of the film. An example of this is in Ferris Buellers Day Off:
In this case, the method of breaking the fourth wall is used to give advice to the audience that are currently watching the clip; this makes the audience feel a part of the story line as they are being spoken to directly by the main character opposed to just watching him speak to the other characters within the film
