This documentary will be expository. It will speak directly to the viewer proposing an argument to persuade the audience. All content included in the film will work towards reinforcing this argument. There will be occasional omniscient voiceover and the use of archival footage to string together segments.
You will need to discuss mood, structure, pace and documentary mode(s).
The documentary will have a subtle counter culture mood to it and from time to time the tone may represent society as a dystopia where the media is dangerous and in power to promote the idea that the world sucks without music and soul.
I will include the following:
- Interview person (Interviewee) contributes ideas on relevant subject to interviewer through questions and discussions.
- Short opinion interviews with members of the public
- Expert interviewee with special knowledge or status
- Title writing on screen to impart information or develop ideas
- Visual image shot to add interest
- Montage collection of quick cuts to give a strong impression
- Archival footage shots from previous productions or shoots
- Voiceover person speaks over other images
- Narration voice that tells the story, fills in gaps, evokes ideas etc – speaker never seen
- Music often used for emotive effect or to add commentary
This documentary aims to argue a relevant and interesting perspective on music in society, and has a very broad target audience, making it accessible for a large audience. It has strong ideas about society and the tone is very visually appeasing.
