Isabelle's EPQ

notes from watching- it  includes clips from old concerts,old interviews and interviews with the purpose of being in this documentary Roger had medical issues when on an american tour so they had to cut it short which upset them even though they were famous they werent seeing much money because the amount of tax the documentary includes a lot about freddies life they talk about how songs were special to them they said that talking to the press never got them anywhere there was a point where they felt like the biggest in the world-we are the champions was inspired by this there were many times where the band couldve fallen apart as they had many tests freddie still performed when he was ill-press showed pictures of him in a bad state  there was a show including other artists like david bowie in tribute to freddie who made it- Matt Ocasey Purpose and involvement- All member except for Freddie were involved in the making of it and they showed their time as a bad critical reviews-...

 In many of the documentaries there is a similarity of experiencing mental health issues when famous,for some this was because of being overwhelmed where as some it was because of bullying.Some celebrities that had similar experiences include Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato as both of them were young stars who turned to drugs and alcohol to try and cope but have both come out of it. Some differences include how some come out on the other side of the downs of fame where as some have suffered the consequences and died.Examples include Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston .To me the documentaries have shown what its like to live their lives but this hasnt exactly changed my view of them as most of them were expected due to previous publicity.What did shock me was times where everything seemed fine for them yet they were actually going through things behind closed doors.I have understood that usually as the celebrities get further through their career they become more used to fame but somet...

notes from watching- has had a long career - he saw him self as an average person who lived in the countryside-was always vey quiet before fame-his frinds say hes adapted well but has changed-sometimes he felt his image was too goody goody who made it- R J cutler and David Furnish How involved was Elton -He gave permission to directors Critical reviews- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road  is such an epic, varied display of emotional depth and soul that it should be classified as some sort of operetta-Slant Conclusions for my EPQ- Hes already lived his career which shows it wasnt just made to boost his fame

2023 Notes from watching- very long-had a long career -when he first became famous he used to wake up in the morning and pinch himself  old clips of him whilst he watches back and comments -looks quite natural -sat in his own bedroom  wake up in the morning pinching himself wondering if this is really happening  a dunking into the adult world that he wasn’t ready for no breaks inbetween just from place to place too many interviews too many performances too many countries and then just repeat all geared around gary seemed like the only one had meetings about him not being ready to be in the boy band fans were angry at him for leaving  just partied all the time too much too soon didn’t wanna be a has been at 23 forgot what he was doing the job for-he wanted to be an entertainer-wanted to people to come and watch his career was “falling off a cliff” felt like a rocket taking off after he brought out angels  fame is like a playground  16 when he joined take tha...

14th November 2023- young so has time to make more-Findings from all of those voices:Louis struggles to find time to spend with his son.He struggles to adjust to being a normal human being after being a celebritity on tour. He also struggles to talk to fans as sometimes he doesnt feel like himself .He struggled with processing leaving the band as he didnt know what to do with himslef as he got into fame at such a young age that he wasnt sure what else he could do with his life.He thinks that the fans are as important to him as he is to the fans because they make him feel successful. He didnt expect to be able to get back into fame. The death of his mum and sister largely affected him as hed spent so much time with them,but this made him want to get back into performing as his mum said she knew h could do it. He felt like he couldnt be independent in the band as he didnt just want to do as he was told as he wanted the band to write their own songs.He was told that he had a solo verse ho...

Notes from watching 21st November 2023-still young and has made other documentaries Findings from Miss Americana-Taylor feels like a faliure when she doesnt beat her own records so she sometimes hasnt got motivation to go any further as she remembers this is where she wanted to get and doesnt now how to move any further-'what now ?' -She likes her fans relating to her songs as she feels like shes helping them as sometimes she has nobody to talk to or relate to and she doesnt want others to feel that way. -She was 'living for the approval of strangers' so she felt like doing one wrong thing could ruin her -At the VMAs she won best video however Kanye said Beyonce had the best video. The audience was booing him however she thought they were booing her and felt like she didnt deserve the award. -She wants people to think she deserves awards otherwise she doesnt see the point in them -She realises that in fame you need to prioritse what matters to you-for her its her family...
