This is the homework for half term, you have plenty of time so I expect a good standard of work. You will need to meet up as a group to complete this.

REMEMBER TO COLOUR CODE SLIDES AND LABEL WITH YOUR NAME IN CORNER OF SLIDES!

This is a presentation which is the starting point of your 5 minute documentary. Can be done on powerpoint or Prezi.

The majority of this presentation should be annotated VISUALS (pictures and diagrams) and NOT a lot of writing, remember the recommended PEE/E structure.

Structure your powerpoint in this format:

PART A

-Include a title page

-Assignment name and group members, colour code key

-slide for each person that contains:

-their 3 ideas           

-WWW & EBI of those 3 ideas

-which one is their strongest idea and why?

-how are you going to change or develop it from it's initial state

PART D

-What are some documentaries (film and TV)  that you watched and got inspired by? (can take some from previous project but you could and should add to this) (can be some documentaries on your topic but not all of them - can be other topics)

-what specifically was inspirational to you?  (use print screens for this!)

PART E

-complete in depth research of the topic (1 or 2) that you have chosen to do, this research should be presented in a clear yet informative way. It should show you have knowledge and insight into this topic.

-research can include written text, photographs, video interviews, etc Try to explore different platforms

PART G

-To complete this section you need to consider the structure format I gave you and went through in class

(use a clear chart to create this)

(also remember that the subtopics must relate to the overall topic like an essay)

-what would happen for each episode (you could have 3-5 hour long episodes to plan for)

-choose an episode you want to focus on and give details as to what would happen in each one

-give details of the 5 minutes and what would happen in the 5 minutes

-get feedback from your target audience about your ideas and show the results

-complete questionnaires from your target audience about your ideas or details of your ideas
