We decided to go into more dept and detail of what we need to shoot and what footage we already have. This outlines the whole 5minutes of our documentary. This also helped us to develop a detailed call sheet for our half term shooting.

Initial Font research

This is called fake plasttic. The slim, slick nature of this font connnots there is a slim chance of everybody being successful, which will help create realism.

This is called Guardian. This font is bold and informing, this may be a good font as it is direct and would show we are trying to inform people about the subject of success and how it is atained.

Intramural. This is a combination of the to therefore giving a greater sense of optimisim. Its slim but as slim as Fake Plastic giving 'greater hope' to the viewer however its not quite as bold or headline like as Guardian.

 

These font are good however i feel they dont fully convay a personal intimate feel which we are trying to establish with our audience.

Market research

We tryed to use a range of media such as facebook, twitter and text messaging.
The best response we got was from Text messaging, suggesting that our target audience of 16-22 year olds are more intractable through there phones. This research could help with how we attempt to market our documentary and try to appeal our documentary to them.
The questions we asked:

1. What kind of magazines do you read and why?
2. Do you listen to the radio?, if so, which station and how much?
3. Do you watch documentaries? do you like them? if so, why?
