BRAINSTORM 2- ROLE OF TEACHERS

THE OBJECTIVE• The objective of this topic would be to exclusively

interview, and get opinions from the teachers of the role of the principal. Asking questions on how they feel on the subject. To see if they had any issues or discomforts about the role of the principal.

The Mode?• The Mode used would probably be Observational as at

the same time as interviewing, it would be observing the teachers and the principal. As well as that I would have a fly on the wall type of documentary as it would be best suited with the mode I choose as well as how I would want the documentary to be structured.

Narrative Style

• Very assertive, bold to emphasize the seriousness of the topic, weakness- may be less/too much narration loosing the structure.

Target Audience• Would have a very broad target audience, preferably

teachers, but can also attract students as well. Weakness targeting at a very broad audience may, not work as not all the target audience initially thought of might find the documentary appealing because of it being very broad. To prevent this from happening, the research we conduct must be able to fit the profile of all the target auidence.

Experts• Teachers may be classed as experts themselves as they

know the system, how it works etc. Also teachers of past experience of being a head teacher, may also be handy. Weaknesses, not everyone may have that experience as well as having the time to talk. Also social pressures to express their true feelings may be influence the information given.

Genre• Would probably be thriller/action as the aim of it would

be to expose certain aspects as well as attempting to shock the audience. Which would excite them and intrigue them.

Codes and Conventions

• Stock footage, archival footage, off screen narrator, narration, having experts to the right of the screen, are all some of the main codes and conventions I will use if this topic was chosen

What I have learnt• Firstly I’ve learnt whilst brainstorming a particular topic

is that, the whole structure, i.e. narrative structure, mode genre and the codes and conventions used, have meet the requirement of the target audience so you maintain their consumption of the documentary. Additionally having a target audience which is too broad may result in a lack of consumer attention towards the documentary. So its vital that in the real brainstorm of the documentary we do fits a narrow target audience which would enable us to use various methods to appeal to that particular group.
