Research into relevant specialist skill
I was given the role of lead researcher in my documentary group, to help me effectively research our subject matter so we had the best information possible.
One video I used was "What to research in order to make a great documentary" LINK TO VIDEO
From the video I learnt;
- Good research can make the documentary more credible and engaging
- form revealing questions and use a variety of sources to answer them eg. written, visual and interpersonal
- Don't add too many facts that could be guessed by the audience, they want to learn something
- It can be a good idea to present facts from both side of an argument so the audience can make up their own mind
Another website I used was "How to carry out research for a documentary" LINK
From it I learnt;
- Before you even begin looking for research sources, you need to find an interesting angle on your chosen topic. The best way to do this is by brainstorming, ideally with other people, to get a sense of the already-covered information.
My research has given me a better understanding of what my role involves, through this I hope to put what I learnt into practice and and get good and engaging information for our documentary.
