Researching the nitty gritty.

I understand that my new concept of dealing with issues founded within the high school system is very serious, the issues that I wish to display in my film aren't something to be joked about, so I've done some research into this sector to make sure that none of the footage from my film is offensive. I want it all to be truthful and well informed.
I have read an article written by the BBC talking about how Body Image should be taught in school and it's all from media consumption that young people are getting warped images of what we should look like. It was a very interesting read seeing as it holds the basic concept of my film.

I also came across Jo Swinson MP talking in Parliament about how the media has infiltrated the minds of young people. 

I also found quite a few interesting articles about media doesn't help young people smoking. I found it interesting because even thought people know for a fact that smoking really does kill, they see their favourite star on television, or papped in a magazine smoking and they believe it's cool.
