Production
Details : Capital Letters for peoples’ names. Make sure your details are the
same as everyone else in your group!
Workflow :
This will provide evidence for ‘time management’ success criteria
Documentary
Research : Not just a list. Requires an introduction. Better with real media
texts identified (real examples)
Existing
Product Research : You should have 2 contrasting examples. It is best not to
present the questions from the blog; just use them to write a piece of extended
writing.
Project
Focus Summary : What are you making a documentary about? Why is this subject
important?
Target
Audience Research : You should research audiences for documentaries (use Pearl
& Dean data, IMBD data or questionnaire data). You should also include a
TAP (that is called a “Target Audience Profile”).
Topic
Research : If you make factual claims, signpost the reader to the evidence. You
could also list references (websites your used, authors, books, magazines,
journals, TV programmes you’ve watched, etc) at the end of your page.
Location
Research : Should include photos of the locations you are evaluating.
Evaluations should include what’s good and bad about each location and what are
the challenges you must overcome (lighting, access, permission to use, travel
& distance). For interviews, justify your choice of background or location.
Interviewee
Information : Who are you interviewing? Why is their opinion important? What
can they contribute to the debate?
Pre-Shoot
Script : Have you got an obvious 3-act narrative? (Introduction, Development
& End/Conclusion)
Interview
Questions : Have you prepared the questions you are going to ask your
interviewees?
Shot List
& Shooting Schedule : A record of what shots you need, when you plan to
shoot them, etc.
Production
Diary : Should summarise the work done; both the group’s and your own.
Production
Calendar : Should identify completed tasks and future targets / deadlines.
