2. Mood board (or other idea development work):
It’ll be set out like this for the interview, very personal. I like this
Because not only does it feels more personal with the viewer but
The person I'm interviewing, so I can get the best answers and they
Feel comfortable saying what they think.
When I do my montage in the gym ill probably do something like this where
We will just film the other person doing a set then I will do a voiceover over
it; talking about the topic of my documentary.
4. equipment
I'm getting a camera from college and I might get one from my friends dad so I can have different angles in the
interview; back up plan is phone. I've also got a tripod and lights, and shoulder mount.
5. Content:
Ill have an introduction to what my
topic is, maybe a dramatic opening
with a shocking fact, then interviews
and I might cut some other footage
into that so it doesn’t get boring, like
if someone said bodybuilder I will put
some photo of one on. Then I will talk
more with a voiceover to footage of
me at the gym.
I want the documentary to be quite serious so maybe I add some music
To convey that. I want to spread the message as not of people will be
aware so I need to act like the person watching will not know much
About my topic; so I will add lots of facts and knowledge that I know to
Try and get my topic across.

You could create a mood board of images related to your product. They could be inspirational or visually interesting. Analyse what you have gathered.
Decide on content and think about how you will structure your piece – consider the conventions of your chosen style/genre, think about the best methods to appeal to your audience.
Planning will vary depending on if you are doing a web series, podcast or a fanzine.
Web-series: A script, storyboard, organisational docs and clearance forms for your contributors/sources.
Fanzine: Content outline, visual style, pagination, organisational documents.
Podcast: Script, organisational docs, clearance forms for your contributors/sources.
Finally work out a production schedule for the project. Once you have a final proposal, begin to plan how you intend to realise your project and what you will need to create/collect.
