asked about stories from her father who was in WW2
told stories ( shocking and funny)
not on camera but recording with stock footage over it.
add interviews on how it was for soldiers during the war.
This is good because it is easy to conduct and interview with this person because i know them and talk to them a lot.
Questionnaire
These are the answer that i conducting from a questionnaire that i asked 5 people.
How old are you?
10-21 (1) 22-30 (2) 31-55 (0) 55+ (2)
Are you from the Tameside/Manchester area?
Yes (5) No (0)
Have you experienced war first hand?
Yes (2) No (3)
Is war a huge thing is our society and culture?
Yes (5) No (0)
Would you watch our documentary on War and the struggles of war in Manchester? If not, why?
Yes (3) No (2)
I am not interested in war documentarys (2)
Market Research is a huge thing for our documentary because i feel this is how we would thrive if we were on television. Posters and leaflets about our documentary would help it a lot, and handing them out and putting them up around the manchester and the local area would help get the popularity of the show up massively due to it being a manchester based documentary. I feel we would compete hugely with other documentaries depending on what channel it was on for example, if it was on BBC our documentary would be competing with a lot of documentary's such as Animal Planet, and because there is nothing similar on it would just be competing with documentaries in a whole.
I chosen that instead of my documentary being on Television, i have chosen to publish it onto the internet onto website such as 4OD due to them having a 'Shorts' that show a snippet of the documentary, i have chosen 4OD because of the target audience, i have conducted research into this by looking at other links and looking what television programmes are on it, such as Hollyoaks and RudeTube, these genre of television programmes are aimed at maybe a younger audience such as 16-35 due to the content of it, Channel 4 is very different with its content when compared with ITV and BBC.
Audience research- i have conducted audience research into my documentary by doing questionnaires, i have come to the conclusion that my documentary is aimed at an overall age group of 22-55 which is great because it provides a large audience for my documentary to go off. Also by conducting a questionnaire it helps me understand who would watch by documentary and helps me understand more about my audience by asking them questions such as "Have you experienced war first hand?" The questionnaire that i conducted has helped me thoroughly because i understand the views of the audience. I feel my social class for the documentary is anybody from any social class, but if i was to narrow it down i would say middle class/working class, due to the content i am filming, such as interviews with working class family's, that means that the audience can relate to what the interviewee is saying about there family that was in the war or a relative of the interviewee.
Production research:
I am going to be filming my documentary in and around the Manchester/ Tameside area. This is a great place to film because it has a lot of history when doing a war documentary. The Tameside is a massive place when it comes to war and the history of WW1 and WW2 such as the song 'A long way to Tipperary' and memorials of the fallen soldiers that went away to others countries during both wars.
I have chosen interviews with people who have had family members in the wars because they are specialists when it comes to knowing the person and understand the stories. i feel Tameside is a great place because its got such a massive history when it comes to the war and it fits perfectly with our documentary. Here is one example of a place i am going to film, this si a war memorial that i can get a lot of useful information on for my documentary as well as possibly an interview.
This is one of the places i am going to go to find more information about the war through leaflets and actually going in an looking at whats inside.
The memorial ia open mostly everyday which is very useful for long days which makes it very useful for me to go an talk to somebody, get information or get an interview from a professional.
