2. OVERVIEW
My production is going to about domestic violence for both genders. The documentary is going to be informative covering
topics such as:
• What is domestic violence
• How to identify domestic violence
• The help available to victims to end domestic violence.
I will conduct interviews with charities and specialist centers within the local community that offer help for victims of
domestic violence. The interviews will be about the support and how victims can get in contact with these people. I will
also include the contact information of these charities in the local community such as:
• Victim Support in Camden
• Camden Safety Net
National charities:
• Refuge
• Respect
• During my documentary, I will include reconstructions of domestic violence incidents; this is so I can give the
audience an idea of what happens within domestic violence.
3. TARGET AUDIENCE
My target audience for my documentary is 13-24 but I hope to aspire and appeal to an older
audience as well as a younger audience. Although my main focus is not on an older audience,
they may also be interested in the support available and the signs of domestic violence.
Considering the age differences between 13-21 is there experiences and the relationship
they’ve had, my documentery is to raise awareness, identify the signs and help available.
