"One in four adolescents is a criminal"

- An example of a TV show that demises youth is 'The Inbetweeners'. A show that represents youth to be anti-social and very immature.


- A film that represents youth as being anti-social and mature is "The Kings of Summer".

Definition of Moral Panics

What is moral Panic?

The London Riots
This 2011 riot cased a huge moral panic because it started as a small protest that spread around London because people were abusing the reason behind the riots to go and rob shops, etc.

Using the Camera

Blogger
-Updating my blogger meant I could organise my research and planning. In particular deciding with my group the locations we wanted to film in.  Our final location was Hayling Island (a two hour drive away).  However we saved both money and time, in terms of a recce, by Ben's uncle emailing us shots of the location which we could look at online and discuss before deciding to commit to this location.

Final Cut Pro
This programme meant we could create a title sequence that looked professional, for example, we used a font called 'Type Writer' which was a sharp and similar to the codes and conventions of our film genre (coming of age drama).
