FMP idea?
A documentary styleinterview, touchingonfamily
history. I want to mix the use of videoand
imagery, by havingan interview and photographs

you?
It’saboutmy family so I want the outcome of the
project to look good. The video its self is centred
around a sensitive subject, so it’s importantthat
all the contentI need is well filmed.

idea/work and somepotential research targets
(remember, research isn’t justa paperbased

ages, dueto it surroundingaheavier topic. I do
however think it’s primarily aimed at youngadults
due to the mainfocus of the videobeing the
importanceof spendingtime with loved ones.

I want the videoto create an emotionalresponse
from the people watching it. I want the videoto
make people think.

[which productiontechniques/characteristicsare

I expect the toneof my video tobe quite low, due
to it being aboutthe loss of someonespecial.
However, I plan oncounteractingthese feeling by
havingthe interviewee try talk abouta happy
thing with each pointthey make.

this style?
I havedecided todo my video in a sit down
interview stylebecause I like howthat lookson a
bigger screen andalso I think it looksquite
professional.
