Overview

Is smoking and drug use being encourage and glamorised to a teenage audience through the British media?

I have a written an essay which explores weather the British media is influencing the decisions teenagers make about things such as drugs and alcohol.  

For my production piece, I will be creating three promotional posters for three different Tv channels. One will be created for E4 which will be be targeted towards a teenage audience with a teenage cast and to do with them and their experience with drugs, how they have contributed to them having a good time. The second promotional poster will be created for Channel 4 and this will be a documentary on the adverse effect of teenagers taking drugs such as resulting in death due to overdose or losing money and family due to it. The final promotional poster that I will be creating is going to be for ITV2 and this will be to do with the glamorisation of drugs through TV and encouraging it.

I will be creating these pieces in particular because I feel that they will cover all the people that are affected by teenagers using drugs and alcohol, the parents, the friends and the people themselves.
