  For the documentary I will be creating a poster that will be displayed on a public service broadcaster which means it needs to comply with the ASA’s guidelines to be advertised. I will ensure this through curating the imagery to standard, meaning advertisements will not be misleading, offensive, harmful and will have to provide evidence for the claims made and the poster will be appropriate for all ages to view.

These were less like documentaries as we know them today, instead being referred to as ‘actualities’ which were recordings of people going about their daily lives and everyday events with little or no commentary. These ‘actualities’ were created to show the reality that normal people live in. The term documentary was popularised by John Grierson in the 1920s and 30s and he defined the term as ‘creative treatment of actuality’ which builds on the foundation set out by figures such as the Lumiere brothers. This new definition of the term introduced narrative, structure and social purpose for creating documentaries, this is where the widely recognised view on documentaries started. Many documentaries of this time were state funded and made to fit the purpose of education or to build political leverage. During the 1930s and...
