Documentary Narrative

My idea is to do something about personal identity and how it's changed by popular media in the form of one's physical appearance and material obsession- a somewhat cliche narrative, but I liked the idea. The story is of a girl who feels confident as herself in comfortable clothes. She comes across popular media, which influences her way of thinking about herself. She tries to fit these idealistic images, but becomes unhappy at the change of physical, even personal identity and loss of self-confidence. My influences came from a video I saw about a digital robot who watched commercials and runway shows of models and desperately tried to change itself constantly to fit the images of "perfection." In the end it broke down and literally destroyed itself, which is a fascinating psychological idea to me, though I know I can't quite create nearly as cool a narrative. Contact Sheet I do want to experiment a bit with photoshop effects to create an atmosphere and to get the emotions across, though.
