The TV show 'People Like Us' is very which means it isn't one sided and also that it means that it covers both good and bad points of the subject. It shows the surroundings, the people that are in the area and filming the people and how they go about their average day.

Documentary style
The video layout for the documentary will be similar to the video below:
Supernanny UK The Agate Family.
The reason I'd like to focus on this type of documentary style is because the main focal point of my documentary is to see what happens behind closed doors and also to see how both children and parents act when they're at home and not out in the streets. To document both parties behaviours and to see how one another react to each other.
When interviewing a parent or parents, I will be asking them questions such as:
-How hard was it to bring up your child/children?
-What kind of sacrifices have you made for your child? (e.g. personal treats, free time etc)
-What hardships have you had to face?
-When looking back, do you regret being a parent or do you enjoy it?
-Did you ever think you'd be a parent?
The reason for asking these sorts of questions is because I want an emotional reaction to try and move others and make them tear up from the parents responses.
When interviewing a child or children, I will be asking them questions such as:
-What sort have problems have you and your parents faced?
-Do you enjoy spending time with your parents?
-What sort of things do you and your parents talk about?
-What sort of connection do you have with your parents?
-Do you and your parents argue? If so what do you mostly argue about?

Equipment needed for Documentary
To produce this documentary, I'll need certain bits of equipment to be able to make the documentary possible such as recording equipment like DSLR Camera's, Tripods etc.
DSLR Camera:
I will use the DSLR Camera to capture the scenes and shots that I need to record to put into my documentary. I will also use this camera to possibly take pictures of families and other things that relate to my documentary (e.g. children, children's toys etc).
Tripod:
Using a Tripod will make my footage steady and not shaky like it would be with a hand held camera. I will also use the Tripod to record higher places that my arms can't reach such as certain parts of a room or someone that's taller than I am (The tripods are normally taller than I am).
Call Sheets:
Needed so that I can have the evidence of those needed at the scene/set being there at the set time and those that aren't. This is also needed to keep a check of everyone in case of a fire or if the crew and actors are in any danger.

Research for documentary - Parenting
When being a parent not many know how difficult it is to actually take care and bring up a child well. Especially when you're a single parent or your child has a disability such as Autism or ADHD. As a teenager myself, I take a lot of what my parents do for granted because as parents it's their responsibility per say. Sometimes it's one sided and a lot of kids don't give back to their parents but I often do repay my parents for what they've done for me. Many children all over the world disrespect their parents and sometimes its parents that disrespect their children.
There are different types of parenting styles. The list below is some of the types of parenting styles and an explanation of what they are.
Authoritarian Parenting - This style of parenting is when children are expected to follow strict rules made by the parents. Failure to follow such rules often result in punishment. Authoritarian parents tend to not explain why they've lain down these rules and when asked to explain why, the parent will often use the reply "Because I said so". These types of parents are very and highly demanding but aren't responsive to their children which means they expect to be obeyed even if they're the ones that are wrong.
Authoritative Parenting - Authoritative parenting is basically the same as Authoritarian parenting and are expected to follow the rules. However, this parenting style is more democratic and means that they are willing to listen to their children and whatever questions. Whenever their children fail to follow their rules, they are nurturing and forgiving rather than punishing. These types of parents are assertive but not intrusive and restrictive. When they discipline their children, their methods are supportive rather than punitive because they want their children to be assertive as well as socially responsible and self-reguled as well as cooperative.
Permissive Parents - With this style of parenting, there are very few demands that these types of parents expect from their children. They tend to rarely discipline their children because of how low their expectations of maturity and self-control children and teenagers will display. The parent will take on the role of a friend more than an actual parent as these types of parents are permissive and are generally nurturing.
When becoming a parent, there are many sacrifices that they make. Some sacrifices include:
- Giving up education: If you conceive during high school or if you're older than 18 years of age and still want to take on education and still conceive, you might very well have to give that up to look after your child.
- Free time: Being a parent is a full time job. You can't choose to be a parent one minute and then think "I'll take a break" the next. Sure a sit down is good and nice but if your child is messing about with things that they're not meant to, you're going to have to clean up the mess. Looking after your child at all times means you'll barely have free time.
- Lack of energy: As stated above, parenting is a full time job. Therefore you'll start to lose a lot of energy that you used to have before having kids. It takes a lot of hard work to look after children and will probably leave you energy-less eventually.
- Possibly skipping food: Most of the time parents will skip meals for many reasons whether it be so that their child can eat or just because they're not hungry or simply don't have the time.
- Luxuries for yourself: When you're younger and have money, you buy stuff for yourself. However, when you become a parent that goes out of the window and you'll have to buy things that matter for you and your child such as food, clothing, cleaning equipment etc.
