Formal Proposal For Documentary

Brainstorm of Content for Documentary

Initial Plans

As a group we decided to that we are going to do our documentary on the topic of fear. We then decided that our target audience was going to be teenagers and adults because our scheduling was to be on a Monday night at 9 o'clock, so at the start of watershed. The channel we would want to put our documentary on is BBC1 as it is aimed at generally everyone except children, and its output is popular programmes so people would be more likely to watch it.

We asked three people over the age of 18 some of the questions from our questionnaire and then filmed their answers.
