WTF (Where’s the Food):
(Watch the Food)
(What The Food?!!!) <33333
We decided to change the title of our documentary from "What The Food" to "Diet or Die" because the previous title sounded more suitable for a food documentary than a health one. "Diet or Die" is more suitable for our documentary videos and related to our video content about eating disorders which are very closely related to diets.

Synopsis:
"What The Food (WTF); Breaking The Strings" is a powerful and emotional documentary that delves deep into the lives of individuals who have battled and triumphed over eating disorders. The film aims to shed light on the harsh realities of these disorders, while also offering hope, inspiration, and guidance to those who may be struggling.
Thumbnail Research:
In this screenshot that i took from Netflix with a search title of “Health” consist of many different documentary series the related to health such as food and of course health. I chose this selection because they are the same as my sub genre. The genre conventions I can see are images of food, the human body, often medical equipment. I think I will subvert it because they seem a little repetitive. I want something that will stand out. I really like the idea of the first documentary in the top left “WHAT THE HEALTH” i really like the concept of the thumbnail of documentary bringing a phrase that people often use as we know the phrase “what the” is a very common phrase that many people use to curse or when they are in shock of something with this concept of thumbnail in the documentary it is very catching when people hear of this phrase. The font that are used in the thumbnail are very simple and all are on caps lock, with all upper case form makes the phrase more serious. The fact that they put a burger patty in the back enhances the meaning of this documentary series and allowing audience to know what are they trying to present to them. The documentary series in the fifth row and two down “mind your manners” i think doesn’t really support or show the topic health from both the title and background and i think it lacks of meaning that support their topic, beside that it also lacks of color for the thumbnail it only have white and black for the color on the other hand “WHAT THE HEALTH” has a lot of color which makes them more pleasant to see and not boring to see.
I really like this picture of a puppet propaganda the way i can relate this picture with the topic of my documentary series is that we make it look like eating disorder are the hand that control people, in fact the hands plays a role of how the person will act and the stickman person below the hands present a role as they are the puppet that are getting control by the hand same goes as our topic eating disorder that can control how people eat and act in the future and eating disorder will create a big impact on the human society and youth
Thumbnail Development:
This picture above is Rania's idea of thumbnail research she drew it on paper, because she doesn't have her ipad with her she left it at home. In her drawing consist of idea of thumbnails that are later going to be an idea for our final thumbnail in the future, beside that there are also font idea on the bottom to give more ideas for our title font. I think the one with
This picture above Satria's my drawing that contains his idea of thumbnail research he drew using information that he consume from the internet and social media. These drawings above he got the idea from Netflix(Netflix is an American subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service owned and operated by Netflix, Inc) the documentary series he use as an idea are "the bleeding edge" and "dont f*** with cats" with this two documentary series allows him to gain ideas for my thumbnail in my documentary series in the future. Down on the bottom are examples of font ideas that he can think without using the internet.
The picture above is my drawing and I sketch all these 6 drafts this for 10 minutes where I wanted to make sure that the idea is brief and reduces detail. I took inspiration from Pinterest (New media that serves as a visual exploration tool that helps users discover a wide range of ideas, such as recipes, fashion inspiration, and much more.). I specifically choose which idea is the most unique and can established the audience the fresh first impression

When researchers followed a group of 496 adolescent girls for 8 years, until they were 20, they found:
5.2% of the girls met criteria for DSM5 anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder.
When the researchers included nonspecific eating disorder symptoms, a total of 13.2% of the girls had suffered from a DSM-5 eating disorder by age 20.

In contrast to American media, which appears to be increasingly supportive of the body positivity movement but still glorifying thin, idealised bodies, K-pop culture is a welcome shift for some fans who struggle with eating disorders. The thin-centric ethos of the K-pop business is openly displayed. A survey found that South Koreans had the biggest preference for skinny people over people who are overweight out of people from 71 other countries. In fact, it is entirely transparent about the strict beauty standards, especially how bodies are viewed as ideal in South Korea.
(Role model montage) Even though a number of idols have opened up about getting treatment for eating disorders, such as singer IU, who demonstrated in 2013 that she had been on a severe crash diet, igniting the "IU diet challenge," and then revealed in a 2014 talk show appearance which her method had gotten treatment for bulimia, K-pop culture as a whole glorifies extremely restrictive eating habits.
Particularly typical eating disorder diagnoses for males is binge eating disorder (BED). Although people with BED exhibit bingeing behaviours similar to those seen in bulimia nervosa, they refrain from participating in compensatory behaviours following bingeing. 40% of those with BED diagnoses are men, while 36% of men and boys experience BED. -> source: Unknown (2021).

(Kpop dance montage) The media and K-pop idols frequently portray Korean beauty standards as emphasising certain physical characteristics including slimness, fair skin, and particular facial features. These norms may contribute to concerns with self-esteem and body dissatisfaction, which in turn may have an impact on the emergence of eating disorders. It's crucial to understand that eating disorders can be caused by a variety of variables, including heredity, psychological issues, and social pressures that go beyond aesthetic standards. While Korean beauty standards may have an impact, treating eating disorders calls for a multifaceted strategy that takes into account each person's unique circumstances and mental health issues.
(Mutiara Montage Fashion Show) Much research has documented the extent to which seeing images of these ultra-thin models contributes to body image struggles or eating disorder symptoms in women.
Tragically, many eating disorders cause people to feel out of control and become fixated on food, their bodies, their weight, and their ability to lose weight. Many people who are battling eating disorders weigh themselves several times each day, and they punish themselves based on the results. This preoccupation frequently centres on the scale.
(Alden gym montage) Men frequently feel pressured by society to live up to these standards in order to feel attractive, and as a result, many choose to undergo procedures like excessive dieting, genital enlargement, radical exercise regimes, skin whitening, tanning, and other surgical changes to their bodies.
Conclusion/outro;
As a result, both males and girls experience the condition in different ways, and this video aims to clarify the various aspects of eating disorders in relation to beauty standards. Not just the negative impacts but also the individuals afflicted by eating disorders should be investigated and studied.
Storyboard
(Credits: Rania)
 |
| Our first draft for the storyboard. There were a lot of issues in this draft as we felt it wasn’t clear enough and we had more ideas to elaborate on that would create a better narrative of the documentary we want to portray. We also took inspiration from other documentaries in the genre like What The health and Mind explained. We felt that these elements would tie better to our genre conventions and make it so that our documentary is easily recognizable as such to the audience. |
 |
| This is our final draft for the documentary, this was much better and the guidelines made a better documentary. We followed this structure and it helped create a guideline to other areas such as the thumbnail as well. We felt that this draft better aligned with our vision. |

Thumbnail
(Credits : Rania)
 |
| These were some of the thumbnails we drafted for the doc. We also included a survey based off of our target audience. I felt that this would enhance the connecton our documentary has to it’s target audience. I also sketched out a couple inspiration from other docs and books as it helped aid in the creative design process of the documentary. |
 |
This was the four final mockup forour thumbnail, we wanted to use the fourth picture above however, ran into issues in creating it digitally. When made digitally the design wasn’t as I envisioned and when consultig with my teacher, it was hard to read the title and that could make it difficult for our audience to want to pick our documentary.       |
