This document outlines a plan of action for creating a documentary about musician Ryan Inglis and the Charlie Derrick Bursary charity. Research sources include Inglis' blog, local news articles, the charity's website, and the website that helped fund Inglis' album. Interviews are planned with Inglis, the charity founder Julie Derrick, Inglis' friend and producer Tony Hobden, and past bursary recipients. Understanding the target audience is important, and research methods like questionnaires, test screenings, and analyzing other documentaries are proposed to help tailor the film appropriately for musicians and music students.

Action
Internet
• Ryan
Inglis’
blog:
www.ryaninglis.com
Ryan
Inglis
keeps
an
up-­to-­date
blog
featuring
info
on
tours,
gigs,
music
and
music
videos,
etc.
–
good
source
of
research
as
it’s
a
primary
account
of
Inglis’
activities
• Weston
Mercury:
http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/home
The
Weston
Mercury
is
great
source
of
articles
about
Ryan
Inglis
and
also
features
a
database
of
headlines
such
as
the
news
of
Charlie
Derrick’s
accident
-­‐
useful
in
getting
a
full
account
of
what
happened
and
when
• Slice
the
Pie:
http://www.slicethepie.com/
Website
in
which
upcoming
artists
post
songs
and
are
rated
by
users.
Inglis
won
a
£20,000
deal
to
record
his
album
with
after
receiving
a
high
amount
of
hits
on
his
song
‘secret’
-­‐
good
source
of
facts
which
we
can
use
in
the
documentary
• Charlie
Derrick
Bursary
Website:
http://www.footprint.org.uk/bursary
Charlie
Derrick,
one
of
the
focuses
of
the
documentary,
has
had
a
charity
created
in
his
name
by
his
mother
to
help
aid
young
musicians
–
Very
useful
as
this
features
a
full
account
of
people
the
charity
has
helped,
possible
to
use
this
information
to
contact
these
people?
Interviews
• Ryan
Inglis
Very
important
as
focus
is
on
Inglis
and
the
charity,
who
better
to
ask?
Need
to
email
a
few
questions
and
create
a
profile
on
him
• Julie
Derrick
Mother
to
Charlie
Derrick.
Also
very
important
as
she
set
up
the
charity
and
again
who
better
to
ask?
Need
to
email
a
few
questions
such
as
what
is
appropriate
to
mention
–
we
want
to
handle
this
documentary
sensitively/respectfully
• Tony
Hobden
Friend
of
both
Ryan
and
Charlie’s.
Tony
mixed
Inglis’
acoustic
album
and
is
now
mixing
his
latest
album
(funded
by
Slice
the
Pie)
–
he
can
provide
a
lot
of
background
to
Ryan’s
journey
• People
affected
by
the
Charlie
Derrick
Bursary
On
the
Footprint
website
there
is
a
long
list
of
who
the
Bursary
has
helped
over
the
last
7
years;
Weston
is
an
interesting
place
as
someone
we
know
is
bound
to
know
someone
else
on
that
list
–
they’re
all
musicians
so
the
Weston
College
Music
Department
might
know
a
few.
Also
according
to
Tony
Hobden,
many
of
the
musicians
at
Weston
College
are
behind
the

2. charity
so
it’s
now
just
a
matter
of
finding
them
and
seeing
if
they’ll
do
an
interview
Our
Audience
Who
is
our
audience
and
how
should
the
documentary
be
tailored
to
them?
It’s
very
important
we
understand
this
if
we
are
going
to
appeal
for
their
charity.
How
can
we
research
this?
• Questionnaires
We
need
to
know:
•
how
long
they
expect
it
to
be
•
artistic
expectations
(artistic
look,
lens
flares,
High-­‐Definition,
basic?)
•
appeals
previously
seen
on
average
• Group
Experiment
Select
a
random
sample
of
music/media
students,
split
them
into
groups
and
present
each
group
with
a
different
type
of
documentary
(one
artistic,
one
basic,
one
funny)
and
see
the
effect
it
has
on
the
audience,
fill
out
questionnaire
afterwards
and
compare
results
• Research
into
Music
Documentaries
and
Charity
Appeals
The
typical
Musician’s
documentary
is
presented
artistically;
take
for
instance
Live
at
Abbey
Road,
which
is
shot
in
HD
featuring
focus
pulls
and
large
cinematic
depth
of
fields.
This
is
one
style,
the
typical
style
associated
to
music-­‐literate
audiences
which
we
want
to
combine
with
the
Charity
Appeal
documentary,
such
as
Secret
Millionaire,
a
different
genre
in
it’s
own
right
in-­‐which
we
must
create
a
successful
hybrid
We
currently
see
our
audience
as
Musicians
and
students
of
music,
this
is
because
there
is
a
large
focus
on
Ryan
Inglis,
a
musician,
and
also
a
main
focus
on
the
Charlie
Derrick
Bursary
which
aims
to
help
young
students
of
music.
Whether
this
is
an
accurate
estimate
of
our
audience
shall
be
revealed
through
research.
