The document outlines plans for a documentary project about animal welfare. It includes details about the music, locations, presenter, and interviews. For the music, two songs are proposed for different parts of the documentary. Several potential filming locations are listed, including animal shelters, parks, and veterinary offices. The document discusses using the author as the presenter and describes how they will be represented. It also provides information about interviewing members of the public aged 16-25 and 30+ in parks, as well as experts from animal shelters, zoos, and veterinary practices. Guidelines are provided for conducting public and expert interviews safely and ethically.
2. Music
Links Why is this music
appropriate?
Initial research http://www.reverbnation.com/mela
niefontana
These two songs were made
for the documentary that I
researched (Shelter Me)
Music for
introduction
(montage)
This song is a little bit more
upbeat and would support the
whole preview of the series.
Music for 2
minute
development
Sol – Misha Mishenko

ishenko/_/Sol
I think this song is appropriate
because it be a slow pace
background sound when
discussing a serious piece of
information from the
documentary. For example
archival still photographs of
animals suffering.

the issues that

documentary.

8. Presenter
Representatio
n
The presenter is to represent someone who is simply used to guide
through the documentary. The presenter will be represented as
someone who is unbiased.
Costume/prop
s
The presenters costume not to be exaggerated. The costume will
be jeans, a white shirt which will advertise the documentary, white
converses and no props will be included.
Body language The body language would be open to form a relationship between
presenter and audience.
Gesture Hand movement gestures would be necessary so that the
presenter would come across naturally speaking instead of talking
like it has been rehearsed.
Facial
expression
The presenters facial expression would be warm and smiling to
attract the audience. By having the presenter smiling, this will make
the audience feel more comfortable and will make them listen to
the presenter.
Speech The speech would be formal. The language will be standard
English so that it would appeal to both target and secondary
audience.
