This document discusses conventions of documentaries and short films that the filmmakers intend to follow or break for their project. It will follow conventions like using a hand-held camera, voiceovers, interviews, and real people to make it feel like a documentary. While it will keep the short film conventions of Todorov's equilibrium theory of problem, solution but something changed, and limited length and characters, it does not intend to target only a niche audience like short films usually do, but rather bring awareness to a mass market.
