Dj Will Boden

Gender: Male

Occupation: DJ

Reason to be interviewed: We have chosen to interview Will because he is a DJ, and also because he has played at big clubs and owned his own events (DJ & Promoted) so he knows the fashion high and low class well, being in the main stage of all clubs seeing the crowd. Also we chose him because of his DJ'ing experience in different areas of London and the world he has seen different cultures first hand so we would like to ask him if he thinks "Does Society Affect The Way You Dress?" statement is true.

Keira Stone

Gender: Female

Occupation: Fashion Model

Reasons for being interviewed: The reason we have chosen to interview Keira is because she has been involved in the fashion industry for a long time working her way up from being a childrens clothing model to local catwalk shows mainly in shopping centres, but now working her way up to companies such as Ralph Lauren & Louie Vitton. This is a prime type of person we need to interview to find out the way in which she thinks the question "Does society effects the way you dress" really mean something. We will be asking about her person views and experiences living in the fashion lifestyle.

Weekly Update 7 (By Georgie Watters)

This week we managed to get the rest of our filming done, so now the editor can carrying on editing to finish of our documentry. For filming we had to split in duo's to get both interviews and the cutaways. By doing this we was successful as we managed to finish fliming in a day.

Possible Cutaways (By Zoe Woodstock)

We decided that the best possible cutaways we might use portray fashion and society. We came up with the following options:

• Designer shops e.g. Topshop, River Island.
• Catwalk footage.
• Footage of a range of people in shopping malls for example.

These types of shots will correlate with the voice-over quite well and entice the audience into the topic better.

Location Research (Faye Callaghan)

For our location it was very vital to get the right place and setting. For our 1st interview we have chosen to use the office of our fashion teacher, we chose this because we felt it still had elements of fashion in the background with the posters and the way she was dressed also accented fashion.


For our second & third interview we will be filming in a house because it was a much easier location for the interviewees to get to as it was in their own house and they felt more comfortable filming this way. 


For our forth and fifth interview we have again decided to film on college campus as our interviewees are students and teachers here again and we can use the various props that represent fashion around the room in which they are based and create the best setting, environment and place we can for it to be filmed.

Weekly Update: 6 (By Georgie Watters)

Relevant video to our documentary (By Natasha Kohli)

Here is a short video which has been taken from a news channel. This video goes to a certain place in America where they look at different stereotypes, and ask for the views of the people that live there. The responses we get are mostly negative, as they believe that they are being put into a certain category because of where they live and how they dress. The reason i have picked this video, is because our documentary is simular to this. We are trying to show how people are stereotyped into society by the way they dress. So by using this as an example, would help us in our own documentary, so we get an idea of the reactions we would be getting from all people.

Final Draft Proposal (By Natasha Kohli)

Final Draft Proposal

Research Into Theorist Walter Fisher (By Zoe Woodstock)

Walter Fisher studied communication of which later established the 'Narrative theory'.  It was useful to research Fisher because this narrative theory is based on the idea that people are storytellers. Fisher, in 1984, states that 'storytelling is one of the oldest and most universal forms of communication and so individuals approach their social world in a narrative mode and make decisions and act within this narrative framework'. 

Fisher's research theory however conflicted with current beliefs of how people interact. Thus he developed two paradigms: the rational paradigm, and the narrative paradigm. The rational world paradigm describes how people are rational and make their decisions based on arguments. Rationality is aided by our amount of knowledge which can help us solve logical puzzles through analysis. The narrative paradigm states how people are storytellers and they make decisions by having good reasons. Factors like our culture and character can determine what we view as good. The world is a set of stories from which we choose to re-create our lives.
Fisher made it possible for individuals to distinguish what makes a story justified. He calls this 'Narrative Rationality'.  This concept consists of two parts: coherence and fidelity. Coherence defines whether a story makes sense structurally. Fidelity relates to whether a story is true or not. 
We are trying to portray our argument rationally and hope the audience will make a rational decision toward fashion and stereotypes and base their arguments on good reasons.

Weekly Update :5 (By Georgie Watters)

BBFC (By Faye Callaghan)

As our documentary will be televised, it is necessary for it to include a BBFC (British Boards Of Film Classification). We have decided to give 'Fashion Tribes' a PG (Parental Guidance) certificate so it is not suitable to anyone of a very young age of whom may not understand the content.
