Secondary Research

Sophie Watson
True Story
14 year old Sophie Watson has had make-up tattooed on, she's had her eyebrows, eye liner and lip liner. She got her make-up tattooed on because she competes in Beauty pageants.

The make-up tattoos arn't illegal becuase it isn't classed technically as a tattoo, although Sophie does have two illegal tattoos, one on her wrist and one on her stomach which she got behind her mothers back.

Percentages of different surgical procedures


This spread sheet shows us the amount of people getting plastic surgery in England and the rises and falls of the amount of men or women getting different types of surgery in different years. it shows us that 9,430 breast enlargements were done in the UK in 2010 going up by 10% from 2009 and women getting liposuction went down by 3.8% from 3,010 down to 2,896 from 09-10.


Statistics
These are some more statistics i have found whilst doing my secondary research-
  • Sunbeds are estimated to cause 100 deaths from melanoma every year in the UK
  • Sunbeds also cause premature skin ageing, which means that your skin becomes coarse, leathery and wrinkled at a younger age. So when the tan fades, the damage remains.
  • Using sunbeds for the first time before the age of 35 increases the risk of developing melanoma skin cancer by 75%.

London Fashion week
Article on Plastic Surgery

"Even relatively minor mishaps can be unsightly and embarrassing, and plastic surgery gone wrong includes an enormous range of problems, from capsular contraction in breast implants (where the implants harden painfully) to problems with the wound and the slippage of implants inserted in a range of locations, including cheeks, chin, and butt. Surely we wouldn't wish these accidents on our worst enemies - unless they were in the public eye."

Information Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff

"Thirty years ago they were the heart-throbs of French television with their own primetime series on science fiction.
Now Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff look more like the alien life forms they used to report on.
The twin brothers have had so much plastic surgery they are barely recognisable.
Posing for pictures as the 150th anniversary party for luxury jeweller Chopard, the pair - now aged 60 - looked freakier than ever"
"From questions about costs of plastic surgery, to the history and definition of plastic surgery, this is the place to find general information on all things plastic surgery related."

Initial Plans

Audience: Women 16-40
16 year old might be body conscious when seeing beautiful older women, E.G. Celebrities. This program could show them the risks of surgery and persuade them not to do this. 40 year old women might feel like they are getting older and want to have surgery to make them feel and look younger.

Title: Is Beauty Worth Pain?
we came up this title after thinking about other titles, some of the titles include;
Beauty Is Pain
Pain Is Beauty
What Would You Change?
How Far Would You Go?
Whats Your Idea Of Beauty?
We decided on Is Beauty Worth Pain? as a rhetorical question which links in with the subject of the documentary. This title will target our audience because it links in with beauty and our audience will see this and wonder what it's about.

Channel: BBC3
We choose this channel because it shows a lot of documentaries about similar things. For example; Snog, Marry, Avoid. At the moment they have a series of documentaries about different teenagers with extraordinary lives. We also choose BBC3 because the documentaries are viewed from an unbiased point of view.

Time: 9.00
After 9pm so younger people don't watch this documentary as it could be inappropriate for young children. Also this is a popular time for young adults and adults to watch T.V. We would also choose a week day night for this program to do be shown as most people wouldn't be doing much on these nights.

Ideas for our Documentary


First Idea
Drugs, smoking, drinking -> teenage behaviour
  • Underage drinking - pubs - Interview bar staff about underage drinkers, and teenagers who drink.
  • Drugs - Interview teenagers who have done drugs and give opinion about this.
  • Smoking - Interview teenagers about this.
  • Interview a range of people of different ages to give their opinion of drinking/drugs/smoking, and how it might be different from when they were young.
Smoking: why? How do they get hold of them? How do you afford them? Enjoy it? Influenced by friends/family members?
Drugs: why? How do you get hold of it? How do you know its safe? Why put yourself at risk? Pressured into it by other people? Pressure other people? Enjoy it? Any side effects or worries afterwards or during?
Drinking: Why? How do you get it? Why do it? Enjoy it? Any worries while doing it? Thought about the risks?


This was one of our ideas, we thought about other things too on our mind maps in case we could think of anything better that would maybe stand out more than the 'Teenage Behaviour' because we thought this might be quite a popular topic for the teenagers because they can get hold of all of the interviewees easily.


Second Idea
Liposuction, Face Lifts, Sunbeds -> Beauty

  • Liposuction
  • Face lifts
  • Sun Beds
  • Make up
  • Make up tattooed
  • Boob jobs
Interview people who have had this done.

Why do any of this? Risks not scare you off.. worth the risks? Famous people influence you? Can go wrong? Worth the pain?

Can go very well.. interview people that its gone O.K. for.
The surgery can go wrong.. interview someone who its gone wrong for.
Examples of people its gone wrong for or they've took it too far:
  • Pete Burns
  • Pamela Anderson
  • Jocelyn Wildenstein
  • Janice Dickinson
  • Megan Ryan
  • Michel Jackson
  • Janet Jackson
  • Joan Rivers
  • Dolly Parton
  • Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff twins
Use these people in our documentary and show their before and after pictures to show the dramatic difference.
