Documentary Proposal

Proposal:

For the production, Joel and I are deciding on doing our documentary on cyberbullying and what people’s views on it is. Our documentary will be an observational documentary because the filmmaker is not seen and the whole documentary is based on the interviews and their point of views on the concept. The genre of our documentary will be educational because it is about bullying online and it can be seen as an educational concept. For our target audience our primary audience would be based around the ages of 12-18 because a lot of cyberbullying happens once a teenager is able to access social media. It can also be targeted at a secondary audience such as adults between 30+ due to how adults can help prevent cyberbullying from happening to their own child. For our documentary, we hope to achieve that people understand cyberbullying and to try to get the message across of other people’s thoughts on cyberbullying and for others to think before they do. For our documentary, we will not need to travel. We are planning to do our documentary in college in a separate room in which has good lighting. For the production we are using teens aged 18 and our media teacher to get different inputs from each person. The one question that we asked each person was ‘What are your thoughts on cyberbullying’ in which we asked each candidate the question for their views on the subject. For this production, we will not need any props or items for this due to how all of the people being interviewed will be standing and we will be only talking about the situation rather than using props for the production. We will also not need a budget due to not needing to purchase anything.
