BOOKS
"Finally i must acknowledge my debt with my wife, Lynn, and my daughter, Amy. They have never really understood what it is that turns me into a furniture-kicking, doorslamming, growling bear most Saturday evenings during the football season. This book may provide a partial answer." - Colin Shindler, Manchester United Ruined My Life.
The book was an attempt to try and grasp why a man can be so turned in to such an irrational person by sport. It's particularly about Shindler moaning about how arrogant Manchester united fans have been the bane of his life for years.

THE TREATMENT
Audience:
The audience for my documentary will be mainly men aged 16-34 and men aged 55+, most likely from the Manchester area. I know this because football fans are predominantly male and with the documentary being about football teams from Manchester i expect the majority of people who would watch it would be from the Manchester area as they are more likely to support Manchester City or Manchester United.
Synopsis:
My documentary will be about Manchester football. It will tell us about the fans and how the fans lives have changed because of football. It will also highlight issues within football as there has recently been some issues surrounding racism towards midfielder Yaya Toure. I will talk about how the FA deal with issues within football such as racism and discrimination. Also i will talk about the pressures that the players have to face in football. I will also look at how people feel about footballers pay, do they get paid too much? This documentary will be very much about the fans, their views and how they are effected by football.
Documentary comparison
City of Champions
Compared to City of Champions my documentary will be more detailed and therefor longer. It will focus more on the fans than the football players, this will make my documentary more relatable to everyday people. City of Champions also doesn't interview any fans it only shows fans celebrating whereas I will interview fans.

Maddi this sounds like an interesting idea for your documentary. Your secondary research is relevant with descriptive (pass) and evaluative comments (merit). There doesnt' appear to be any primary research however and this was a pre-requist to pass the assignment so for your research outcomes you currently have no mark.
ReplyDeleteYour treatment is brief, which is should be, but this one is maybe too brief. You have description of the plot and the audience in there which is good (pass) in addition to your market research and audience analysis. The language that you use is also good (merit).
To achieve merit you must add relevant primary research - interview, focus group, or questionnaires.
