Update #1

I have decided to produce a documentary for my A level coursework which means giving myself a chance to experiment with a new media form. The decision to work alone means that I can have full control over what I do and cannot be blamed (or have anyone else to blame) when something goes wrong, which inevitably it will. I have already settled on ‘Violence in The Media’ as a subject for my coursework as it is a topic I am interested in I have however yet to decide on a name for my project.

As part of my pre-production work I intend to produce audience research questionnaires, which will allow me to discover information on a possible audience market. I shall analyse a number of documentaries such as ‘Bowling for Columbine’, 'Fahrenheit 911' (both Michael Moore) and ‘Biggie and Tupac’ (Nick Broomfield) as well as past A2 productions. I also intend to hold focus groups allowing myself to gain a deeper understanding of audience’s expectations of a documentary.
