Coming Up With the Idea...

When it comes to documentary filmmaking, Laura and I don't know much. So when it was time to come up with our idea, we had to first decide the style of documentary that we were going to create. In order to figure this out, we looked at three different examples to base our documentary off of:

1. Catfish-MTV
This show uses very raw footage and authentic moments to tell the story. It is more of an investigative type show and the videographer is part of the story. They use shaky shots to make the story seem more real.

2. Life of Jenks- MTV
In the show Life of Jenks Andrew Jenks gets into his story and follows an interesting person around for the day in order to see their struggles and take a look outside the box.

3. Blackfish
Blackfish is a serious documentary that uncovers corruption in a tourist location. They use a variety of resources in order to tell the story. This is a factually based documentary in which the creator investigates deeply as well as gets opinions from many different people

After watching all three of these documentaries, we wanted to create something that related to our teenage audience. We thought the best way we could go would be with the style of Andrew Jenks, Life of Jenks.
