Running Order

Now that we have a plan of all the material we want to include in our documentary, we have decided how, and in what order, it will be used.
We have written a detailed running order for the whole 30 minute programme.

Research for Documentary

Our group are now ready to conduct all research for our programme, which will be both Primary and Secondary.

PRIMARY RESEARCH
This included things such as finding interviewees for the programme, finding locations for filming, finding props for the mise-en-scene of interviews etc.

Firstly, we decided to research T-Shirt printers in both Birkenhead and Liverpool-as these would be easily accessible for us.

Secondly, we researched what shops there were in Liverpool One by going onto the Liverpool One website-so we could decide which shop was the most ideal to feature in our documentary.

As a group, we decided that the most suitable shops were: Pulp, New Look, River Island, Primark.

SECONDARY 
This is predominantly for archive material, which includes things such as extracts from newspapers. We looked on the website of local newspapers such as Daily Mail, Liverpool Echo etc. Newspaper articles that we found were:

Formal Proposal for Documentary

Brainstorm of Content for Documentary

Now that we have decided on a topic for our documentary, the target audience and the scheduling of the programme, we have brainstormed possible content four our documentary. We have considered all the possible interviews we could conduct, archive material we could use, music we could use, possible cutaway shots and style of voice over.

Target Audience Research

Myself and my group conducted research into our target audience by creating a questionnaire. This research should provide us with information about the audience's knowledge of the subject, likes and dislikes etc-which will help us form our final decisions about the form and content of our programme.
