My aims My aims for my documentary is for my
audience to understand that a music
artist is more than music. They can set
up their own community and
connect with their fans with music,
personal experiences, social media
and when they are touring. I also want
people to realise that their music can
be personal to them which can make
some of their fans relate to the lyrics
because they have either been going
through the same situation or they
could have been in that situation but
have now healed and moved from it.
My idea
The type of documentary I want to produce is about a music artist that produces music that
connects his fans with him, and how his fans can relate to lyrics and situation spoken in
his music. I am also going to talk about how he connects with his fans through social
media, messages, his community he has built and concerts. I want to create a
documentary based on what he has built, made people feel confident and express
themselves in a positive way and also in an individual way. I also want to talk about his
personal experience that has made him become the person he is today, where he came
from and the life he is currently living.
The type of content I want to produce into this documentary is clips I have taken at his
concert, information about him as a person, type of music he created which is genres
and lyrically. I want to include some of the collaborations I like from him whether he is a
feature on the song or he featured them. I want to include pictures based on what he
has raised awareness of throughout the years, what he has personally gone through
and sharing the support and situation that has come from that.
I want my audience to understand from this documentary that even though he makes
music, and it is a big part of his life and him, he has so much more to him than just
music. I want people to realise how much he cares for his fans and people around the
world. I want people to realise that he is not just Yungblud his own built community is
Yungblud as people need him and he needs us.
How my idea fits the requirements
Even though I am going to be focusing on music and one artist I am also going to talk about how social media has an
effect on music. I am going to talk about how he can connect with his fans through social media, and how this has
helped build him a community as he can inform his fans on new music, tours, events and what he wants to post.
This fits with the requirements as I am talking about music being a culture, but I am going into more depth about one
artist and the genre their music goes under. As social media and the internet has changed music as people are
streaming more than buying CD's and Vinyl's I am going to talk about the success he has gotten from platforms such as
Spotify. I am going to talk about how this music genre is different compared to others which means that clothing and how
people present themselves is part of this music genre and it is a culture.
I am also going to mention how young people in the age bracket (16-24) listens to this genre of music and how it would
have impacted on their life in different ways. Also, Yungblud becoming an artist that people found out about in 2019
(as this is when his debut album came out) would have made the younger generation more aware of his music and
the type of genre he does and what relates to the genre he does.
Research
The way I am going to collect my research is by using information I already know about Yungblud and if I need anything
else I am going to use different platforms to get information and I am going to link them. I know that I might not be able to
use all of most of the content such as interviews because of copyright but I can mention some information he has said.
Also linking the different content would mean that I have mentioned them in my documentary which means that it's
unlikely I'll get copyright.
I am also going to use some of my focus group answers as some of the questions are related to music, and I can use
this information to see how the people in my focus group thinks of this type of music and what type of music they listen
too. I am going to make this a "voice of god" and add relevant information on screen that relates to what my focus group
is saying.
I am going to use some clips I have gotten when I went to his concert. This is going to be some of the things he has said
during the show in-between songs. This is because the information is important and can be awareness of certain
situations. I am also going to include some clips that is not related to music or the topics he talks about during his
concert, as I also want this documentary to be entertaining, factual, informative and pop punk.
This means that I would have included my own content of Yungblud and it would be less likely to get copyrighted as I
filmed the clips, and they would be unique compared to other fans clips and professional clips Yungblud crew would
have been getting.
Subject area
While I was researching the subject area, I found out there is a lot of different cultures and 'culture' can
mean anything you want it to mean. I also found out that there is different cultures from all around the
world. We can see these cultures in the place we live such as food restaurant's, sports, shops and
many other ways.
The part of culture I am going to focus on is "music" this is because different genres of music have
different culture. As this is the case this means that people express themselves differently from different
music genres, and this makes them all differently. I am going to show this through the artist I have
picked, whether this is music, clothing, lyrics and fan base.

Client research

The BBC was founded in 1922 on the 18th October,
by John Reith. They provide different entertainment

Sounds app.
BBC Three
Their schedule is 7am and finishes at 4pm. Their
target audience is primarily younger because of the
times. They used to be a streaming service until
recently. They provide a lot of educational
entertainment, and this could be because of their
time schedule and their audience. They also provide
entertainment shows, which is similar to the other
BBC channels.
Client research
Northern voices
Established in 2011 Northern voices is developing an "excellent
reputation for quality performances and wonderfully varied
programmed". They are made up of 45 singers with musical
directors.
They are working with the BBC and BBC Three, they are going
to pick 10 different talented writers who will go to different 12
months of development programs. These 10 people will learn
how to develop their writing skills and get into writing for the
broadcast. They will do this by participating in different
workshops.
Researching into
target audience
My audience is aged 16–24-year-
old, using my google forms meant
that I could find out if my audience
liked documentaries or not. I also
found out more information about
my audience, what their hobbies
are, have they watched a
documentary. This information
helped me to construct an audience
profile.
Researching into
my audience about
music
I have made a google forms about music.
This is because I want to know what type of
music my audience listen too, who they listen
too and if they would watch a music
documentary. This would help me understand
if my audience would be interested in my
documentary. From the results my audience
listens to punk and rock which means they
would be interested in my documentary.
