DOCUMENTARY PROPOSAL
This documentary will produce a number of clients that will be talking about how people can come together to save the planet. This documentary will be aimed at an audience aged between 10 to 20+ year old males and females who are also interested in taking care of the planet and about the animals. People who are also interested in the Australian fires and the Amazon fires happening. 1 This is because these people would probably be interested in charities such as Greenpeace or WWF. To also educate them on how extreme weather events caused by global warming are much more frequent and are reaching a level of unacceptable impact. My audience would probably live in a suburban area such as Croydon or London. This is because people that live in the city aren’t that aware of how global warming is affecting people in the countryside or people that live near the sea. 2 This is because global warming changes growth zones and Shorelines. (according to an online website Forbes.com) They would need prior knowledge of issues relating to Global warming and how it affects the planet.
Production planning will be completed by the 14th/02/2020. This documentary will be filmed/produced by 10/02/2020, shooting will last for two days and rough edit/ first draft will be available by 12/02/2020, for you to review. Final submission will be submitted as an original documentary film.
This documentary will be shot in Coulson college and within Croydon using recording equipment such as, a tripod, Sony Z150 camera in HD quality and video lighting kit. Specialist equipment and resources required to complete this production are the cast, transport and products that will be used in the documentary.
According to my findings I will be basing the documentary in the form of an Expository documentary, exposing how people contribute to destroy the earth. E.g. polluting, and Performative documentary. Showing the audience how global warming affects people and animals emotionally. This documentary will be a Nature documentary. There will be a voice- over narrator. and a stand-alone on the scenario involving a number of people talking about global warming. Ages between 16-20, white or black of any nationality, who enjoy helping the earth and care about the well-being of the planet and animals. Young looking people to match my target audience and to show other people of similar ages not to feel embarrassed of taking care of the planet and animals.
My USP is the slogan “HELP THE PLANET”. I decided to have a slogan to my documentary because slogans are catchy, this will help the audience remember what the documentary is about and its purpose. Audience approval will be the age of my guest, this is so the audience can feel more interested and more engaged because people their age are the ones speaking about the Planet and animals. I will be also having my guest speakers in natural lighting and dressed very casually or in branded clothing. 3 This will create iconography in my documentary to appeal to the people into branded clothes such as Nike and Adidas and people in college/university.
I have considered the legal and ethical issues for my documentary such as; restricted content. So, I will not include Vulgar language, violence or disturbing imagery, nudity and sexual suggested content. Also, portrayal of harmful or dangerous activities.
Main contingency includes production of potential problems and regulations. Even after it is unavailable or delayed, I must have back up speakers on set or a guest arrive well before shooting time. If the weather conditions outdoors for a scene, adapt to the weather conditions and work it into the documentary or have a back-up location indoors free and prepared in case of emergencies, and if the camera has stopped working on the day of the shooting have 2 to 3 back up cameras fully charged/ spare batteries on set to use.
The product budget will be approximately £12000

CLIENT AND AUDIENCE NEEDS
Client
My Clients for documentary will be Channel 4, which is a Television network company. This is because Channel 4 is a British public-service free-to-air television network headquartered in the United Kingdom. The documentary's name will be called “Third Planet From The Sun” This Is because my documentary will be about Earth and the Earth is the third planet from the Sun in the solar system. The name of my documentary is also memorable and educational because to the people that didn’t know Earth was the 3rd planet away from the Sun. I aim to promote helping earth and its animals across the UK and by creating a social media platform based on this documentary and charities to also promote my Documentary.
Audience Needs
The motive for this documentary is to save the planet and to show the audience how beautiful planet Earth is, also how stopping global warming can change how everyone lives in the UK. This links to audience needs by showing the audience how beautiful Earth is and how it can be better.
In this documentary, the audience will expect camera movements, such as; ①panning, which is when a camera moves horizontally; either left to right or right to left while the camera is based on a fixed point and in this case fixed on the guests/speakers. Tilt, where the ②camera moves vertically on a fixed base to look up and down. By the camera moving vertically, up and down, this creates either high or low angles and therefore having the same effects as those camera angles. Tracking will also be used in this documentary. This is the most common film. Tracking is where ③the camera moves together with the subject on the track. The advantage of this method (tracking) is that a close up of the subject is not lost whilst moving (According to an online website written by Tessa Lewis, published December 6, 2016)
The audience will also expect an audio, which would be non-diegetic. This will be used to ④ add drama to moments that would be silent without sound. By adding sound to my documentary, it’ll make the documentary ⑤ more memorable to the audience and the audience expects a documentary to be serious and memorable.
The audience also expect a story/Narrative within the documentary that they can relate to, so that the documentary appeals more to them. ⑥This is often used in documentaries to increase its success. They usually rely on their ability to tell a story. (According to an online website published from 2012-2019)

For the filming of this documentary I will be filming in Coulsdon college and in Croydon, UK, with legal permission from the college.
The techniques that will be used when creating my documentary will be camera movements such as tracking, panning, tilting shots, dolling and trucking.
The camera angles that will also be used in this documentary are close ups, long shots, low angle shots, high angle shots and long and medium shots.
The documentary will involve a variety of different editing effects such as dissolve, fade, and theme in the middle of cuts to merge different camera footage together.
The lighting and contrast will also change throughout the music video to create and more HD effect or a mood effect and because I will be using natural lighting in my documentary.
