This is the formal proposal for our documentary 'lighten up'. This was the start of our planning for our documentary. When doing the formal proposal we had to think about what kind of research was needed and also had to outline the content that we would cover in the documentary 

Brainstorm of content

In our group we sat down and planned some ideas of content that we could put in our documentary. This included looking at different areas such a health, mise-en-scene, and interviews etc. We will refer back to this plan when we start the construction of our documentary.

Questionnaire Analysis

In our group we each took 4 questions each and collected the data from the questionnaires we handed in. We had to tally up the data from the questionnaires and transfer this data into graphs to enable us to analyse the answers to the questions we asked. By doing this its helps us in the production of our documentary as for questions that people chose the answer that they don't know, we will able to put this in our documentary to educate and inform our audience.
