Hi all,

This was a Final Project for my High School Video Tech class. Unfortunately, i got a 94 on it since it was turned in the day after school let out...

Anyway, it's over our H.S.'s extreme Dress Policy. Hope You Enjoy!

KODE - A Dress Code Documentary

Khaos D. Very good documentary I like it and I hate dress code too

well done. It keeps interesting, and gets to the point fairly well.

I'm surprised that student's parents aren't upset by this dress code. I know that there is no way in hell people would let something like that fly where i live.

Thanks, you guys.

I guess the problem is that parents aren't taking a big enough part in the system to change it. What I hate about it is that Jeremiah Hudson, the guy who led the anti-Haircode campaign was simply blown off by the board for no apparent reason.

And it's funny that you say that because a family friend from Edmonton is really against the code.

But I hear they're laxing up on us this year. Untucked shirts, piercings, and normal backpacks are allowed, but no change to the hair, which sux.

I am glad that you are using your film skills to help resolve real-world issues.

Quick criticism:

I was thinking that if you wanted this documentary to be something that would be persuasive amongst parents, it might be a good idea to tailor it a little bit more to their interests. For example: cutting out loud music that they may not appreciate, and making a cleaner, more sophisticated cut of the film that parents can relate to.

You do a good job of relating to students and getting them eager to see change. When you say "Dress Code is Lame", that resonates strongly with the students. However when parents see that phrase, they may just assume immaturity and rebellion.

Audience analysis is everything.


On a different note, Texas sounds like pretty much the worst state to live in.

You're right, Bang Camaro was rocking out a bit too loud in the Doc, but the files are back in the B.I.S.D. servers, so...
