Pre-Production: Logistic Aspects (Location Scouting, Location Release)

To ensure that I and the crew would know when I planned to ...

To conduct this research I created a Google Form and sent it out to the people in my class and the members of a group I take part in- and I collated that research into an audience profile- so that it was easier to read the statistics and facts. Once I had collected this research- I collated the information into an audience profile.

Existing Product Research

I conducted research into existing products- so that I could understand certain methods that current filmmakers use in their documentaries. I did this so that I could perhaps use some of these techniques in my own documentary so that it is successful.
