Our documentary will be an expository with narration about tattoos. The documentary will include the history of tattoos, statistics, and footage of a tattoo being done and so on, there is also times when a direct mode of address is used so that we can involve the audience. The documentary runs primarily on interviews but narration is also present in parts. It can be seen as mainly informal due to part of the documentary involving an interview with a tattoo artist who uses taboo language when speaking, showing he is in a relaxed environment and not scripted. Nudity is also seen.
Our documentary will be shown on Channel 4 at 9pm, we chose this scheduling due to its informalities and thought channel 4 would be suitable as it regularly shows a range f documentaries from both up coming and experienced film makers. The target audience for our documentary will be ages 16 – 35 as a result of our own research and others we found this age group would be most interested.
When doing primary research for our documentary, we will need to get interviews with the general public, people will tattoos and with a tattoo artist. We also need images of tattoos and to give out a questionnaire for people to complete. The secondary research we will complete will be to find archive music and images and also statistics.
A linear narrative will be used to guide parts of the documentary. An outline of the content for the documentary is: footage of and interviews with a tattoo artist and a person being tattooed, a montage of tattoos, interviews/vox pops with people talking about their views on tattoos, people’s personal experiences and influences and statistics. Resource requirements that we will need are, two cameras, microphone/clip microphone, tripod, notepad, pen and held hand camera.
