Mapping ideas for my 3 minute wonder.
Mind Map For 3 Minute Wonder
I decided to use a Prezi to map my ideas because it makes it easier to view but also it is more creative and allows you to easily view my ideas.
My idea
I think that choosing shooting as my idea for my documentary is good for me because it would be very informative and interesting as not many people have an insight into the subject and there are a lot of misconceptions that surround it. I would do this as an interactive documentary as I want to involve interviews with people, further more this is my favorite type of documentary.
My target audience and demographic for this would be people of my age such as teenagers as they will not have a large understanding of the subject; this will be my primary audience but also will be suitable for adults which is my secondary.
After making this documentary I hope to successfully inform people about shooting and some of the aspects of it. Obviously I will not be able to cover everything about it as we only have 3 minutes as I am focusing it on pigeons and vermin control. By the end of it I intend on having a very useful informative interactive documentary.
When making this documentary I will have multiple locations to film in as I am getting footage of me and my dad shooting as well as interviews with both my dad and my local gamekeeper. Even though I have multiple locations this will not be a problem because they are all very local to my house and easily accessible on foot. Within my production I will not need a crew as I can do it all on my own and will not need help with filming. The only people that I will require is the talent.
Question examples
To my Aunt
-What do you think about younger people getting involved in shooting?
-What originally got you into shooting?
-What do you like and enjoy about it?
-What other types of shooting do you do?
To my gamekeeper
-What are your views on pigeon shooting and why is it done?
-What do you like about pigeon shooting?
-What precautions are taken?
What will I need?
For my production I will need to use real props and equipment that I would normally use and wear such as camouflage and guns. The things that I will need in order to make the production I already have and use. The only thing that I will need is equipment such as a camera and tripod, I will also want to use a voice recorder to record the interviews. As I am not going to need to buy anything in as I already have everything required. I will also be able to borrow a camera from college to film and will not need to travel far to film and so will not need to pay for transport. This means I will not need to spend any money.
Primary research
After taking a quick vote out of 10 people in my class they all said that they would be interested in seeing a documentary based on this idea. All of the people in my class are within the age group and demographic that I want to aim it at. So seeing these results means that I will go ahead with this idea and it will hopefully be successful.
Changes
From the start i need to show that it is towards shooting but i need to clearly show the reasons why it is done.
Lots of really good production research and background planning here Steve. Well done.
