Consolidation of Documentary Research

The area in which i would like to focus my documentary is social documentary. This would include interactional documentary and observational. Although we are participating in this documentary, we are also going to be handing it over to our interviewees during the main process so it is a bit of a couple of different documentaries. We have thought long and hard about what type of documentary would best fit the type we are filming, and as it is a social documentary and based on what people are like and what they do we decided this best type of documentary what we were going to go for. The idea of a social documentary appeals to us because we are personally both fairly social people so it will be easy to find people that will want to participate in this documentary being made. Also, we believe we could appeal to a lot of people through a social documentary because socialising and shopping is usually a fairly large part of an actively social teenager or young adult's life, and we could like to capture this.
By the end of this short documentary containing interviews, voiceovers, different shots and statistics and more, we would like our audience to come away thinking that the documentary was informative and kept their interest through the duration. In order to do this to the best of our ability, we will capture audience reviews and try and use this to improve on what we have already made and we will use our initial preliminary task to do this with.
We will technically construct this to appeal to our target audience by watching a range of different types of social documentaries and analysing how this is constructed. We have done this in the main research tasks done before we decided on genre etc. We can construct it by a wide range of angles and shots. We will start the documentary with an establishing shot, because I believe this is highly effective and makes the audience happy with the way the film or documentary starts.
As for the sound element, many of the documentaries that relate closely with our genre have a range of non-diegetic voiceovers, non-diegetic soundtrack which we will construct using either royalty free music or make our own using piano or guitar or something.
