Shot List

University (The Plan)

Firstly I will go straight into the reason for my documentary and have a graph showing the rise in price for Uni Fees. Once the viewer is hooked, I will introduce myself and why I relate to this documentary.

I will focus on three close people, and ask them about their own personal experiences from Uni. I would get an in depth conversation and ask about why, and how they went through the progress of getting into Uni.

Introduce the first person, preferably my brother. I will start with the simple questions, Why did you go? How much did it cost?, Did it benefit you? Second person will be introduced, start of with a personal question. Once the starter questions are out of the way, I can start to move on to more personal questions. The second person would preferably be Richard Meredith. Third and final person would either be my cousin Abby or someone who isn't going to go Uni. I will ask them the same basic questions, then move on to something more personal.

I would then some up my interview and actually start to explain what I want to do in the future with Uni and so on. I would do a floating head shot of myself and talk towards the camera. I would use cutaways to what the person explains, e.g graduation photo's and maybe even videos.

Narrative Structure ans Story Diagram Structure

The Difference between Narrative and Story

The difference between narrative and story is that the story tells us what the movie is about while the narrative is how the movie is told for example, The Hobbit. The Hobbit is about one character named Bilbo who uses his undiscovered talents to help the dwarfs retain there home. The story is told through Bilbo eyes and experiences. 

Linear Narrative and Non Linear Narrative

An example of a linear narrative would be Doctor Who season 1 episode 1. We were introduced to Rose the new companion, then the enemy. Once the enemy was discovered the Dr came to the rescue. Each of these events happen after one another and are told as we see them. A non linear narrative structure is told like a back and fourth story, for example From Dusk Till Dawn 2014 series. The series starts

My 6 Ideas Documentaries

Autobiographical

Life of an Identical Twin

In this documentary we will follow the life of an identical twin (me). I would get my twin to interview me and then I would interview him. I would ask my friend who is a non identical twin and compare our life styles. I would use old home footage and footage from my close friends to show my childhood. If possible I would also do a test with some volunteers to see if they can tell the difference between me and my twin. 

Someone I know

Mr Gates

In this documentary I would follow the interesting life of Mr William Gates. His family used to own the Cow and Gate milk company. I would go visit him in London and ask him for an interview. With this interview I would ask for old video footage of himself and his family. I Would use a combination of archive footage and interview footage to create my documentary. 

Issue?

Uni Fees

In this Documentary I would discuss the problems of Uni Fees rising in price. I would go around Cambridge and ask those if they are going to Uni or not? I would do an interview process and add in information about previous Uni Fees and facts. I would ask the local MP about the situation and see if he would agree.

The interviewers would tell us their life stories and troubles with fat's. They would tell us their methods and tips to help us. They also used scientists to tell the viewers the repercussions of fat's.
