Hinweis der Redaktion
The next three weeks will consist of orderly piecing together a clear narrative direction to discovering an interesting overall view or statistic towards our key question,‘Are all youths considered yobs’? For our first week, research will be carried out into previous investigations and documentaries that relate to our documentary. Careful consideration of style choice, shot selection and key documentary elements will be considered and analysed to see which repertoire of elements features link well to our style of documentary.We will also need to research suitable locations and people to interview for our documentary, as well as discussing which five minute section of the documentary we wish to produce.The pace and tone of our documentary will also need to be discussed on which we prefer for the style of story we wont to narrate, research into statistics of modern and past time youth activity will need to be collected and sourced carefully for confirmation on fact to use for narration in between interviews and presenter led travel and story narration.
