Subliminal Messaging:

A starter into our research for our new documentary.
We are interested in the ideas of subliminal messaging within the media, focusing around the ideas of size zero and the effect this can have on teenagers growing up.

Here are a few links to youtube videos I have watched as inspiration. They are rather useful when developing a wider knowledge into the ideas and the fasinations with subliminal messages:

The September Issue:



An observational documentary exposing the chaos, work and effort which goes into the production of Vogue's September 2007 issue. This film documentary, directed by J.R. Cutler documents the life surrounding the editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and her staff.



The documentary is seen as a literal version of the film 'The Devil Wears Prada' starring Meryl Streep, and written in 2003 by a former assistant of Wintour, Lauren Weisberger.


This is a good documentary to watch based on our early ideas for a documentary, as we are thinking of a subject concerning size zero and subliminal messaging in the media (magazines.)
