Dying To Be Thin
directed by: Neema Wadhia, Samandeep Bains, Kiran Dhillon
Dying To Be Thin is an expository documentary highlighting the dangers of eating disorders in an attempt to discover why teenagers are becoming increasingly worried about their weight or size. By highlighting these issues we are raising awareness of this psychological and physical illness that has become common amongst the young teenage/adult audience in twenty-first century society.
We used a professional interview with a dietitian to make our documentary more professional as she gave us an insight as to why teenagers may develop the disorder.
We also included celebrity pictures and models ln a catwalk to emphasise how common size zero is becoming
We went all the way to HAmpstead to film an interview but didnt use it in the end
It took agesss editing the opening montage only for half of it to get deleted!

Title: Dying to be Thin
Directors: Samandeep Bains, Neema Wadhia and Kiran Dhillon
Do you think twice about eating that ‘slice of cake’? Do you feel you can’t leave your house wearing those jeans? Well...’Dying to be Thin’ explores the seriousness of the issue of sever weight lose in teenage girls. So who’s to blame? The media, family, friends, fashion designers YOURSELF? This documentary investigates the reasons why and the consequences of losing excess masses of weight.
In our documentary we decided not to particularly deal with a certain character, but instead decided to focus on getting the views from members of the public about ‘skinniness’. We wanted to show that it’s normally in persons head (paranoia) that they don’t look good the way they are.
Dying to Be Thin focuses on weather skinny is actually attractive; we use a vast amount of Vox-Pops to appeal to our target audience. We try to understand reasons why people go to the extreme lengths to become skinny.
The documentary helps girls understand that beauty is more than skin, and It’s not important how you look on the outside, because it’s the inside that counts. It doesn’t matter if a girl’s big, small, fat, skinny because what really matters is that you’re a beautiful person inside.
Interesting Facts: Well a simple trip down to uxbridge to do an interview with our dietician, turned out to be more ADVENTUREOURS then we intended. But all ended well after some serious running around..
