Locations, Subject Matter, Mode and Aesthetics- By Jodie O'Neill

Location Ideas

The formal interview could take place in an office, classroom or private sitting room. These locations would be appropriate as it will reduce distractive sounds and would help to focus the cameras concentration on what is being said.

The informal interview could take place in a park, in the school playground or in a teenage bedroom, in order to reflect the specific age of the interviewee.

Location shots can also be used to show the transformation from one interview to another. Shots of the documentarian travelling could bring a sense of realism and would create an atmosphere of investigation.

Subject Matter

The subject matter of online culture would be interesting to document as there are plenty of different views and opinions available across the spectrum. Also, a political documentary regarding the voting age is also quite controversial.
As a group, we want to pick a topic that is relevant in the modern world and would create further debate and interest after the documentary is over.

Mode

The performative and poetic mode tends to be quite restrictive in terms of the subject matter. A expository and observational mode allows room for debate and argument throughout the documentary. The documentarian could participate in minor areas such as explaining to the audience what is going to be discussed.

Aesthetics

The appearance of the documentary will be attractive in terms of the diverse interviews and the different locations. The arguments over the effects of social networks will cover different viewpoints of opinions. This documentary will appeal to young adults as it will contain fun music and stylistics. Our group wants the documentary to be eye-catching and we will do this by including unusual and entertaining aspects of online culture.
