1. When there's 92 professional football
why are there only 3 black managers?
• Synopsis – With the percentage of footballers
being 50% black and 50% white and the
majority of managers being ex-footballers why
are there only 3 black managers? Jacob Miller

•
The Imposter was a cinematic documentary
All documentaries had key interviews
Voiceovers were used in all documentaries
All documentaries used archive footage and
still images.
• All documentaries had one key interview and
other shorter but very important
documentary.

4. Research Into Target Audience
• Primary target audience – Mixed ethnicity, males,
35-45 and lower to middle class.
• Questionnaire and interview as well as
demographic and behavioral profiling.
• With the use of a questionnaire I know now what
my primary audience want in the documentary
• Interviewing someone who fits into my target
audience I now know what conventions appeal to
him.

5. Development Of Ideas
• Original idea was generally about racism in
football.
• Final idea - Why are there only 4 black
managers in all 92 professional football clubs?
• The number of managers had gone down.
• Became more specific and went from racism
in football too the low numbers of black
managers this was due to my feedback from
peers.

6. Pre-Production Paperwork
-Interview with Marcus Gayle a black
manager.
-Interview with James Roper ( Editor/
Creative Director of the green soccer
journal
-Archive footage
-Still images
- voxpops

7. Research Into Content

8. • Anti-discrimination chief Jeffery Webb says
there needs to be an urgency to involve nonwhite people with football clubs.
• Rooney rule is a rule that means that at least
one non-white has to be a candidate for the
job.
• Football is as meritocratic as any industry in
Britain so why are there so few black
managers, assistant managers and coaches?
• The English league isn’t ready for the Rooney
rule says Brendan Batson

9. Costs & Budgeting
• Budget of £300 split between Hand held mic, boom
mic and 2 cameras
• All facilities will not cost anything.
• Within the budget I will have to pay for one crew
member

10. Purpose and filling a gap in the market
• Cheap distribution methods so will always
make profit.
• Also all football documentarys I have seen
touch on the topic but there is not a
documentary out there that is specifically
about this subject.

11. Placement & Distribution Strategy
• YouTube short documentary channel.
• Links with online newspaper companies.
• Advertise on twitter and at local football
stadiums (flyers)
