My overview!! XxNaziyaXx

Ever wondered why Muslims are being demonized in today’s society? Do you think Muslims should be blamed for the terrorist attacks that have occurred? Well watch Islamaphobia and find out the true identity of Muslims.

Islamophobia is a controversial documentary that depicts the life of the protagonist (Naziya Ali) living her life as a young British Muslim Asian. By using various types of camera shots from high angle shots to close ups we portray the emotions of the protagonist, in order for the target audience to identify with.

Moreover, by using a catchy montage at the beginning of the documentary with Parallel music at the back, it grabs the attention of the target audience and makes them focus on what they are watching. Also we had used a black screen in our documentary, the reason for this being is because we wanted to create enigma for the audience, this is following Bathes enigma theory. We had decided to have myself as the voiceover, as the narrative is from my point of view, we had thought we would do something very similar to Michael Moore, like he had done in Bowling for Columbine, as he had starred in the documentary. The use of having my voiceover was so that it manipulates the audience, and that makes the audience identify with the protagonist.

Overall, Islamophobia is a very confrontive issue that challenges people’s stereotype. It educates and informs the target audience. So get ready to see and hear the truth about the real identity of Muslims.
