Narrative

The source where i collected my information from was http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/students/ota9901.html

I have looked into the different narrative theories. The nature of narrative that I may choose to use for my film is a voice over technique to give my documentary or docudrama as a way of telling the audience footage in a way of a story.

Research into the Genre Documentaries

After carrying out research into documentaries I’ve found that some main features that need to be put into them. This has given me the idea that some features like real life events and interviews included within it.

I researched more deeply into documentaries and found a site with a lot of information on documentary film making. (http://www.mightycompanions.org/cropcircles/advice.html)
This made me decide that I want my film to deal with people and society, this would mean focusing on the human actions and feelings. As the website says “what makes a human being do what they do, what makes a society go in the direction it does and the evolution of culture.”

I have also learnt that you have to be careful how you film things and be careful on how things are portrayed to the audience because they could perceive things in the wrong way.
