Molisa Muyembe plans to create a 5-minute documentary as a solo project about university life. The documentary will follow a first-year law student named Tenay Edwards and document her experience adjusting to life away from home for the first time, including coping with campus life, lectures, budgeting, and living in dorms. Molisa will film Tenay's journey from her family home to starting her first week of university to give viewers insight into the realities of university life.

A short 5 minute Documentary
On university life
by Molisa Muyembe

2. INTRODUCTION
 For my media project I Molisa Muyembe will be working solo. I
am going to conduct a documentary on uni life, this will also act as a
step to step guide helping others to prepare and cope with campus
life, lectures, budgeting, and living in halls. Please enjoy this short
presentation I have put together which will inform you of my plans
for a short 5 minute documentary.

3. WHAT IS A DOCUMENTARY
Documentary films constitute a broad category of non fictional motion
pictures intended to document an aspect of reality. For the purposes of
instruction or maintaining a historical record. Aspects I will be including are;
 Educational
 Informative
 Narrative
 Entertaining
 Real life
 Structured
 For and Against argument

4. SUMMARY
My vision is to take an ordinary country girl who has never lived a day away from the
comfort of her big city home and place her in a box room located at halls in the big city
of London to study law. I plan to show how she copes with everyday life
budgeting, relationships and living alone the pressure may well just be the emotional
journey that sends this princess home to mummy and daddy, or the very kick she needs to
be independent.
 LOCATION : KINGSTON UNIVERCITY, London
 CANDIDATE NAME: TENAY EDWARDS
 AGE AND QUALIFICATION: 18, STUDYING LAW

5. INSPRATION
I have researched American style of documentation. I have found 2 styles one which I am fond of and one
which I am not too keen on.
 One being reality TV style of documentation where the characters narrate their own emotions and views
on a subject issue as their everyday life is being filmed. This is a point of view style of filming which I have
decided to go down the path of, as I find it more interesting to show expressions of the character
 And the other being what I call the lab rat experiment were there is one narrator and he/she will
document what is happening and use voice over to explained a theory they have. This is a sort of surreal feeling
which does not allow the audience to engage with characters.
I have been inspired by the following reality documentations
 SUPER SIZE ME -American- Morgan Spurlock documents the dangers of fast food over 30 days
 THE FAMILY -British- narrated by Chanel 4, families on goings are documented over the
summer. Purpose to entertain, audience certification family friendly.

6. MY PLAN
The following shall be documented I will start with basic shots of her
country home in comparison with the
 Life in halls shots of her uni accommodation then I
will introduce my character with a
 Food shopping and other necessities montage of clips of her routine through
the week while I narrate over this
 Relationships/friendships
introducing my documentary and its
 Coping with work and lectures purpose I will also have shots of her
discussing her own thoughts.
 Being without family
 Having to make you're own rules based on
morals that you have been brought up with

7. SCHEDULE
Weeks plan for filming
 Monday- shots of the country house and family, family goodbyes as
Tenay leaves off for uni
 Tuesday- arrival at uni footage round campus as she meet new people
 Wednesday- settling in footage of food shopping and making room
homely
 Thursday – Lectures, hanging with friends and first fresher's rave.
 Friday- morning after and footage of Tenays summary on uni life
 Saturday- visit back home, mums summary of having daughter away
 Sunday- Editing

8. THINGS I WILL NEED
EQUIPMENT WISE AND
FUNDS
 I will need a camera to document the everyday goings of my subject person
 A tripod for steady camera shots i.e, tracking
 A travel card so I am able to travel to Kingston university in order to
document.

9. TARGET AUDIENCE
AND INSTITUTIONS
Suitable classifications
My target audience will be based on the content
 Students of my footage as my subject is an over 18 some
content may be deemed as unsuitable for a
 families younger audience under 12, but my goal is to
receive a wider target audience so I might be
Considered institutions able to edit out some of the content so I can
lower the classification also I'm thinking of
 Channel 4 showing my documentary at 9 on channel 4 the
reason for this is as my documentary is about
education and will be entertaining It suitable for
 E4
Chanel 4s code and conventions of showing
mature documentaries at that time.
 BBC three
