This document provides an overview of a student's proposed short documentary project about the destruction of wildlife due to human activities like pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The summary includes:
1) The student will create a 20-30 minute short documentary about the destruction of wildlife from greenhouse gases and human pollution.
2) They chose this topic because they studied geography and were inspired by recent campaigns from David Attenborough and WWF about saving wildlife.
3) The document outlines the student's research plan, target audience, visual style, and equipment needed to create the documentary.
2. MY CONCEPT OVERVIEW
• My FMP will be a short documentary about the
destruction of wildlife.
• Greenhouse gases and human pollution are the
main topics.
• As it will be a short documentary, it will be around
20 to 30 minutes long.

3. WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS
CONCEPT?

• WWF advertisements would appear
frequently on television, as well as online.
• David Attenborough's recent campaigns on
social media has inspired me to act on
saving the wildlife.

4. WHY DID I CHOOSE
THIS CONCEPT?
• Due to civilization, the
concentration of
greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere had
jumped up to around
400 parts per million
(Denchak, 2019).

6. MY
RESEARC
H PLAN
• For secondary research, I have chosen to use these;
• Books
• Articles
• Videos
• Documentaries
• For primary research, I have chosen to use these
methods;
• A focus group
• Interviews
• Questionnaires
7. MY
AUDIENCE
• After publishing a questionnaire, I found that;
• 2 out 3 people didn't know what the charity WWF is.
• Overpopulation was voted to be the most impacting.
• 3.67 out of 5 was the rating of interest for this
documentary.
• 2 out of 3 people watching documentaries relating to
wildlife and the environment.
My target audience would be 17 to 30 years old, as I
believe that this age range would want to act more than
those younger and older.
8. VISUALS
AND
AESTHETIC
S
• Most of the documentary will have visuals of
British animals, causes of pollution and human
activities.
• There will be a lot of green and blue scenery
to relate back to the wildlife.
• The aesthetics will be sort of dark to create a
sympathetic feeling from the audience.
