Our Documentary

Our group allocated specific roles to each person to put together an overall documentary to represent what we had found from our research so far.

Me and Becky were allocated the 'Target Audience' part of the documentary. We decided to continue the quirky teen feel through our section of the documentary whilst explaining our section in a unique and interesting way. For these reasons, we decided to create a 1 minute long stop-motion video.

We wanted to demonstrate who our target audience were, what they were like, and also what they expected in a teen romance drama film. We analysed the survey monkey results to create a list of hobbies and interests of the people that answered our questionnaire. We showed these interests in our documentary and explained that we would use these interests to inform our own opening and what would interest and entice the target audience into watching our own film. Me and Becky then showed our mood board and picked out individual images from it that we deemed as important into showing the different themes and interests of our target audience to represent these people.

Our group then put together each of our components to the documentary. Our documentary allowed us to put together all of our research so far so that we could clearly see ourselves, and explain to others what our film genre was, what is common in those films, what the audience expect and who the audience are. As a group, we were pleased with the finished documentary. We were pleased with our documentary because we explained in a clear way the ins and outs of the genre, and we also managed to keep to the theme of the genre through the documentary itself. Because of this, we were able to express what kind of feel our film opening would have and were also able to practise with music and colours work to align with conventions of the genre before we made our own opening. We do, however, realise that there are room for improvements on our documentary. These improvements could be keeping the title fonts the same throughout for consistency, work on the sound of the music against the voice overs and finding the right balance in volume of both and making sure that the lighting is appropriate so that the whole frame could be seen. Because we are aware of these mistakes in our documentary, we can ensure that we do not make the same mistakes in our actual film when we come to make it.
