Recess

In this section of my pre-production I will be talking about my different locations

Location 1: My house 

The first location that I have decided to use would be my house as I will be filming the interview and the argument/sketch with my brother as it shows the realism in the actions that are happening. As this is my house there is no transport instructions needed. 

 

Location 2: Barking/ Barking Library

The second location that I have decided to use is Barking library as i am planning to do my vox pops and an interview at barking library to get more information about the books that are being borrowed the most. The transport to get to the location requires me to take an 387 bus which will take roughly 34 minutes.

  

Location 3: Westfield

The third location is Westfield shopping centre but will not be located inside rather it will be located outside so that i can get people to speak in front of the camera easier. The transport for this location is by taking the train from Goodmayes station which will take up to 15 minutes.

Location 4 : Ilford/ Ilford Library

My fourth and final location is Ilford library and Ilford as I want to be able to get vox pops from all different locations. The transport to get to this location is an 86 bus which takes me straight to the library as the bus top is outside it.

Final Proposal

The documentary that I will be producing is about whether paperback books are now going out of fashion due to an increase in people purchasing e-readers.

Aims:

The aims of my documentary will be to inform the audience about the different ways of reading a book and why paperback books are still worth reading from and that they should not just get an e-reader just because they think that it is fashionable. Throughout the documentary I will make sure that I will give my own knowledge and also make sure that the information that I had found is also given during the documentary to keep them intrigued and knowledgeable about the topic.

Content:

The content of my documentary will involve 2 to 3 interviews which would give me factual and reliable information, many different opinions and perspectives, fair and balanced sides of both arguments that I am looking at and quote other reliable sources for example different articles on Kindles and other e-readers. The people that I am looking at interviewing are the founder of the company Amazon.com, people who work in libraries as they know first hand how many people would visit the library just to borrow a book from them and I am also looking at interviewing someone form DC Comics as they are in partnership with Amazon who sell their comics.

Target Audience:

The target audience for my documentary is British males and females aged between 16 -24. Though the subject of my documentary is about books and why the paperback books seems to being going out of fashion, I will hopefully be able to interest both men and women by also including the comics I am able to broaden the audience as both men and women are known to read comic so this aspect should hopefully intrigue them. I will also make sure that when I make the documentary I will make sure that I am not bias and not giving too much of my own opinion to the audience so that they are able to form their own ideas.

Format:

The format of my show will be participatory mode as I will have a presenter in who will likely be in the entire documentary, though I may have moments where it is performative as I may do a log where I show the differences of people who read a paperback and a e-reader by having two people one reader a paperback and the other an e-reader and see who is more likely to put it down for another piece of technology. I will also make sure that I am fully involved in the show as I am the presenter and that what I produce is interesting to the audience.

Genre:

The Genre will be a documentary. This means that they way I structure my programme will as though it is a documentary so it will not contain many things that you would typically see in any other programme like a competition or a live performance from a band. I will also make sure that it is structured more like a docu series so it follows my journey to a certain extent.

Style:

Throughout my documentary I hope I will be able to film in a numerous amount of different places so that the audience stay intrigued and do not bore of the documentary easily, so I hope with permission I could film in a library or a book store so that they can get the feel of the topic. I will also make sure that their is at least 2 to 3 different interviews so that the information that is given is different and is from a range of peoples different perspectives so that the audience is able to see that not everyone has the same view on the topic, I will also include vox pops just to see the general public's views and opinions. I have also decided to include graphics so that when I am doing an interview you know he I am speaking to and also when I am doing voice overs people may not listen so I would put graphics so they could read what I am saying. The graphics will contain all the facts that I found out.

 I will also make sure that when I make my documentary there will be a range of different shot types so that it keeps the audience intrigued, also because my topic is not a serious matter I would likely use close ups of certain things for example during the interviews and maybe close ups of the books in the library. I would mostly use mid-shots and long shots so they can fully capture what Ii am trying to show the audience.
