WHY RESEARCH YOUR
DOCUMENTARY IDEA?
• The media industry uses research to find out as much as they can about an idea. This
helps to develop the idea by:
– Investigating possible content
– Highlighting possible sources that can be used in the documentary
– Identifying target audience
– Sourcing resources
– Helping to write interview questions to guests for forvoxpops
– Developing the production teams subject knowledge which in turns lead to them producing
a creative and well informed documentary.
TYPES OF RESEARCH
• There are two types of research -Factual information is called quantitative data.
Information collected about opinions and views is called qualitative data.
• Quantitative data –using reports or data sheets to source percentages, statistics,
figures. For example:
– TV Viewing figures (BARB)
– Box Office Figures (BFI)
– Cinema attendances (UK Film Council)
– Government Statistics (UK National Statistics)
– www.gov.uk/government/statistics -This is often used in documentaries as an official source
for figures.
TYPES OF RESEARCH
• Qualitative data –Information collected about opinions and views, producing in-
depth. For example:
– Forums/Blogs -TV Programmes/Films/Social Issues
– Film/TV Reviews
– Fanzine websites
– Attitudes to media products
METHODS OF RESEARCH
• Primary Research –Research that does not come from a second hand source.
Information that is first hand and original. For example:
– Questionnaires –can be used to develop ideas
– Interviews
– Observations
– Focus Groups
– Sending letters, emails and making phone calls
– Location research (Recce)
SECONDARY RESEARCH

second hand research. For example:
– BARB data
– Websites

– Magazines
– Books
PURPOSE OF RESEARCH

products or marketing material.
• Identify audiences, competitors and resources.
• Audience data –profiling; demographics; audience awareness. Audience consumption
of TV programs -who is watching what, their attitude toward TV and films, their
lifestyle.
AUDIENCE RESEARCH
Demographics

media products by targeting specific groups.
• A –Senior Professional/Managerial
• B –Professional/Managerial
• C1 –Skilled Clerical

• D –Semi-Skilled and Unskilled
• E –Unemployed, students, retired
PSYCHOGRAPHIC RESEARCH &
AUDIENCE PROFILING
Based the audiences:
– Lifestyle
– Personality
– Politics
– Beliefs
– Interests
That is why sometimes a website or organization will ask you to take a survey so they can
target specific magazines, TV programmes or films.
GEODEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH
• Based on the idea that people who live in the same geographical area are likely to
share the same attitudes and consumer behavior.
PRODUCTION RESEARCH
• Researching all aspects of a production:
– Content
– Viability
– Placement media
– Finance
– Costs
– Technological resources
– Crew
– Locations
• It is important to research all aspects of a possible idea, which can then determine budget,
time constraints and affordability.
