Research: Bullying charities:


https://www.ditchthelabel.org/

This is an international website which encourages young adults/ students/ teenagers to be themselves and are proud to be different. The website has multiple different campaigns that all highlight different types of bullying in our modern society. On the home page of the website there is a key campaign message which is "No more disempowerment. No more prejudice. No more bullying". The main messages on the website are communicated through numerous short documentaries which show how young adults have suffered from bullying and topics surrounding it such as body shaming. The website also raises awareness through the use of celebrity stories and experiences. This allows us to see that bullying is happening all around us and it is increasingly becoming more of a problem within schools.
The website also has many options on the community page. External viewers of the website can create their own personal account with the charity. Viewers can also fundraise for the charity and buy merchandise from them which all the profits go to the charity raising awareness.

This is a national organisation from London set up to raise awareness and prevent long term mental effects of bullying.  The organisation fund UK based projects for charities such as samaritans and LGBT.  The project aims to eradicate a broad spectrum of bullying in all areas such as in schools, online, in the work place and in sport. The charity also sell merchandise online in order to raise money and awareness for their anti-bullying campaign.
This website will influence my own website for the 'zero tolerance' campaign as i will now include anecdotes and personal stories on the website as they are effective and show the viewers how bullying can harm young teenagers.

Evaluation: The main messages I wanted to convey in my media product is that awareness needs to be raised around the topic of bullying and that it needs to be prevented. To do this i created an interactive website which allows people an insight into what the charity can do to help raise awareness of bulling and if there is a victim of bullying there are ways they can get support through the charity. My production plan for the website follows the codes and conventions of typical websites. This is because on my website i have included key features such as a bold company name across the top of the page and a company logo in the top right hand corner. i have also added an interactive feature which is a documentary viewers can watch. This makes the website more appealing and useful as it will allow the audience to gain a further insight into how victims are effected long term from bullying. Furthermore my website also has a bar along the top which allows people further access to other pag...

Publishing sector: - 3 posters highlighting some statistics surrounding bullying. - Will include information such as phone numbers, email address and websites that the young adults/    teenagers can use if they need support or if they are being bullied.

 Re draft - Audience research: For our audience research we produced an anonymous survey which gives us an insight into how teenagers have been effected by bullying. We handed the survey out to a number of teenagers between the age range of 11 and 17. We then placed the results in a pie chart which allowed us to see which media product would be the most successful way to raise awareness on bulling. The results will also allow us to see what age range of people are effected most by bulling. These are the results from our survey. From the results we can see that girls are effected more by bulling rather than boys. The results also show that the age most affected by bulling is between 11 and 13 years old. This means that when i create my media product i will aim the designs at young teenagers as they are the age group that need the most support. I am also going to make either a website or poster as these were the most requested by the students. Furthermore i am also g...
