For this article I made a short feature story and a documentary.
I found out that wearing heels over a long period of time shorting the leg muscles to the extent that when a lady decides to walk without the heels it becomes very painful. Curtis said that when walking or standing, heels actually causes the pelvis to push forward, placing enormous pressure on the lower back and causing pain to persist. I also found out that it causes infertility in women as it puts pressure on the internal organs.
I interview a General Practitioner with women who wear heals to make this documentary. The reason for making this documentary is to serve as an eye opener to women who wears heels on daily basis or frequently. This is to inform them of the changes their body must face all in the name of fashion. Old articles have been written but the side effect are not properly spelt out. That is why this documentary will talk about effect of wearing heels from three angles. The first will be on the effect of high heel shoes on women in general, the second will be on how high heel shoes affect pregnant women.
The documentary is told by the doctor and the women which i interviewed as they gave their opinion about wearing heels. I will be the narrator introducing the individuals in the documentary.
In order to use sound to tell my story I used the sound of someone walking in heels, interviewing people on the street to indicate the busy life in Dublin, asking random people going to work why they wear heels.
I have done online research about the topic and spoken to a few friends about the topic.
