Well.....i think that the outcome of our media production documentary (dying to be thin) came out to be very outstanding, it most defintaly caught peoples attention, and i do believe that we portrayed the topic (eating disorders) in the correct way.
The filming was very fun and it kept us busy.....you would really feel as though you are this very important person (VIP lolzzz)....shooting your shot on camera! It made me feel as though a lot was getting done just by pressing that red record button :)
I can say that we had our good times and we had our bad, times came of stress and times came of relief, furthermore in the end the turnout was wicked, im really pleased with our doc as it just seems so magnificant when you've actually created it yourself with the help of your friends your sticking together and really coming up with ideas to really get the whole thing going!
This is to all media students in my year every single one of you did ever so well, every single media production is a masterpiece to be proud off! :D

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..

VERSACE GIRL'S ANOREXIA
This is a article from todays Daily Mirror ( 29/03/07), it reveals fashion desiger Donatella Versace 's daughter Allegra is currently suffering from anorexia.The Versaces live their lives of relentless luxury in palazzi of exquisite good taste, privileged, talented - and often deeply miserable.
When Donatella Versace revealed yesterday that her daughter Allegra is suffering from anorexia.
The painfully thin 20-year-old, who inherited half her family's £300million fashion empire when her doting uncle was shot dead, has been in the grip of the disease for several years.
Even in the high-fashion world of the ultra-thin her weight has been the subject of much speculation since pictures showed her looking dangerously ill and gaunt.
Donatella confirmed in a statement: "Our daughter, Allegra, has been battling anorexia, a very serious disease, for many years.
"She is receiving the best medical care to help overcome this illness and is responding well. As parents, we are doing our best to protect our daughter.
"We want everyone to know we appreciate their concern for Allegra, and we ask that her privacy be respected at this time."

""Editin in up""
Well personally i think that editing is going fairly well, we are all trying to work together and share ideas, it has been fun although we've had some bad times we've also had our good where we know where on the right track!
I must admit it is quite difficult keeping in track of the times with editing, sometimes you cannot make it for instance the morning are very difficult for me, however i can always go freely during and after the day! We've all put in a lot of effort to get this going but i would also like to say that Neema has worked very hard in this production and to tell you the truth i don't know where I'd be without her lol! (want a tissue) lolzz!
Where all going to continue editing and shall do pretty well!!!

Anne slams pressure to be thin
Anne Hathaway has spoken out against movie industry execs for perpetuating the myth that actresses should be thin, insisting no one should be forced into a size zero. The Devil Wears Prada star says she has turned down roles because of pressure from directors to lose weight. "It's completely understandable as a teenager to fret about your body," says Hathaway. "It's scary because you don't know how it's going to wind up. But I'm not a teenager any more, my body's chosen its shape... I'd rather be strong than skinny for most roles. I'm not a size zero, and I've had directors say to me, 'You're the best actress for the role, but you've put on weight recently.' If people can't understand you've put on five pounds, I don't want to deal with them."

THE TRUTH ABOUT SIZE ZERO
This documentary was aired yesterday (7/03/07) on ITV.
Louise Redknapp aims to uncover the truth about size zero and its awful affects and how unhealthy and emotionally destructive the trend is.
Currently a size 8, she aims to become a size 0 in 30 days.
Once having a consultation with a doctor she travels to Los Angeles - home of size 0 (desperate housewives) and Victoria , the documentary features photographs of celebs such as Teri HatcherBeckham who believe that being skinny is sexy and the road to success...
Once starting the diet, we see a change in her capability as she has become tired more easily and her energy levels are dropping dramatically.
Backstage at a fashion show, she gets models and designers view on eating disorders, who reveal that the clothes come in a certain size and it’s up to models to fit into them.
She also visited Rhodes Farm clinic to speak to a group of 12 – 16 year olds who are currently receiving treatment.
The documentary also features former spice girl Mel C, who suffered from an eating disorder during her years in the spotlight, and also claims that the media were partly to blame.
However when the time came closer to trying on the size 0 dress which was shipped from LA, she began to have doubts about whether she would become hooked as her body had got used to less and less food each day.
At the end of week 3 she had a 24 inch waist and was a UK size 6, but after her doctor’s firm warning to stop Louise was determined to uncover this awful trend.
By week 4 she travelled to LA to loose the extra pounds but her BMI had dropped to 17.6 and she became a size 0 – which could be classified as anorexic!!
After crash dieting for 30 days it then took Louise 2 months to recover from the ordeal.
Below is a clip from the interview Louise had with Mel C..

What's wrong with trying to be thin?
It's healthy to watch what you eat and to exercise. What isn't healthy is worrying all the time about your weight and what you eat. People with eating disorders do harmful things to their bodies because of their obsession about their weight. If it isn't treated, anorexia can cause the following health problems:
Stomach problems
Heart problems
Irregular periods or no periods
Fine hair all over the body, including the face
Dry, scaly skin
If it isn't treated, bulimia can cause the following health problems:
Stomach problems
Heart problems
Kidney problems
Dental problems (from throwing up stomach acid)
Dehydration (not enough water in the body)
