QUESTION 1: Do you think this is an achievable look for my documentary? Do you have ideas on how to improve it / techniques to achieve this look?
Out of the 16 responses, 15 thought this was an achievable look. The other person commented that the look of my moodboard was unclear, so I may look over it again and see whether it fits the brief more precisely. However, some other notable comments were:
- 'this is an achievable look because of the authenticity and naturalistic mise-en-scène'
- 'if you're talking to real musicians you can use the real spaces they use'
QUESTION 2: Does my pitch meet the brief / sound like a BBC Three production? If no, what could I do to improve it?
14 of 16 people said yes to this, and the other two mentioned my target audience, saying that I will need to incorporate older people as well as young people, which I will definitely take into account - I have been thinking of interviewing local venue owners, family members of the musicians etc.
QUESTION 3: Should I include more aspects to look at in my documentary or just go into more detail with what I already have?
13 people stated that I should go into more detail, as there is a 'good range of topics' and as it is 'niche' i will be able to create interesting content from this alone. However, the three people that disagreed suggested having a 'run-down' of content that will be shown later in the series, or having more content to 'fill the whole website'.
I think I will go into more detail with what I have already thought about, as I feel that I will be able to create interesting narratives with just this. Going into more detail will also increase the intellectual value, which is important for catering to a more upmarket audience.
QUESTION 4: Any other feedback / improvements?
Most people did not have ideas for improvement, but some suggested cleaning up the images in my moodboard and including a variety of artists, which I will work on when I am choosing people to feature.

Maybe just pin your favourite interviews and documentaries (vogue etc) and incorporate elements of how they do their documentaries. Can be referenced later as intertextuality or inspiration
|
Yeah I can imagine that
|
Perhaps focus more on the musicianship side to it and incorporate the social media stuff on the side?
|
Use cool ‘aesthetic’ musicians feature their music to be original
|
|
Victoria Casson
|
Yes I think it is achievable. I think you might need a tighter focus- eg how can bands make money when they generally give away their music?
|
Yes, suitable for that target audience who would be used to downloading music for free
|
As its the opening you can say what would be coming up in the programme without actually having to do it and also consider aspects that you could include on the website
|
have a variety of bands/artists
|
|

|
I definitely think this is achievable. Maybe including a video of their performance would be nice to see
|
I think it sounds like a BBC production if you make sure to focus on the social media aspect and how self-promotion has evolved. But I think you need to target it more to an upmarket audience, perhaps by choosing carefully which artists you talk about. I’m not very sure though :)
|
Go into more detail, I think you’ve got a good range of topics
|
Maybe try to include diverse representations or include how their identity e.g. class, race or sexuality has affected how they promote themselves. This could be upmarket as it becomes like more social/political
|

Yes, I think this is an achievable look because of the authenticity and naturalistic mise-en-scene in the images that you have chosen.
|
Yes i think so
|
Just stick to one main aspect and go into detail otherwise you may lose purpose of the documentary if you try to fit different aspects in.

i love the idea and think its very relevant to the brief.
|
perhaps use older people in interviews etc to make it more diverse/seem like bbc 3 production?
|
go into more details - i like idea of using local venues etc
|
no love it :)
|

I think this is a very good and achievable look for your documentary, it is a great and interesting topic too - use a range of mis-en-scene and camerawork similar to that of a documentary.
|
Yes it sounds like something BBC three would produce
|
Go into detail with what you already have, you can include a lot in three minutes.
|
No it looks really good!
|
|
Charlene Cheung
|
Yes, possibly close up shots of certain instruments
|
Yes, it does
|
go into depth about the idea you already have
|
|
|
Molly Thirlwall
|
yeah it looks cool, i like the cheeky chins picture or at least i think it's chins if not i just look stupid. i think if you're talking to real musicians you can use the real spaces they use if you get me
|
yes it does
|
i think maybe have it a bit wider so you can fill the whole website like it's a series and this is one episode? as in like the whole thing is young musicians then you focus on like lgbt musicians or female musicians sort of thing
|
nah looks fab xx
|
|
Nkechinyere Enyinnaya
|
Yeah I think that is a good premise for a documentary especially the dying businesses part. I think that will be good
|
Yeah I believe that this is a good topic as it reaches that target audience but maybe consider the middle class to upmarket audience even though it should be fine but make sure u keep that in mind
|
I think go more in detail to what you have already done as the maximum of the documentary is 3 mins at the end of the daY. Or maybe you can include more topics in the opening like sequence so it can be like a rundown on what to come u get me?
|
nah x

|
Amelie Meury-Cashman
|
Yes it is
|
Yes it does, it is suitable for the target demographic and the topics are similar to what you would expect in a BBC3 doc
|
I think what you have listed is fine and I wouldn't look into more aspects because it might get too complex (and you only have 3 minutes). Just go into more detail in your current aspects.

It looks so good ngl
|
Yes - it broadcasts new UK talent which is part of their PSB :)
|
go with what you already have it looks swell
|
carry on going this'll be really good :)
|
|
Grace Ewing
|
I definitely think it's achievable, I really like the idea of of including the information about local venues
|
Yes definitely
|
I think going into detail about what you have already would be most interesting as it's quite a niche topic
|
|
|
Orla Price
|
Yes
|
Yes
|
Go into more detail
|
|
|
Aimee Butcher
|
Yes

Yes
|
Broader could be interesting too - but what you have is good

From your moodboard the specific look is unclear - the two images from instagram story and youtube make a lot of sense with your links to technology and media convergence and how they can promote musicians. However, I don't understand the random images with dogs or the guy taking a photo as they don't link to this topic.
|
i think it is a great idea and fits the brief well. I have re-read the brief given and it says for 16-25 year olds so I think your target audience may be slightly too large. I also think you should look at how this young audience will interact with BBC three as it is not a typical platform for this age range.
|
I think you should focus more on one aspect of your idea - starting a career online using youtube or social media is very different to starting in small local venues.
|
The documentary style of this will work really well and be a cool project. I think just clear up your ideas with your images.
|

|
I really like how you have addressed a correct audience through your choice of talent.
|
Yes it does definitely sound like a BBC3 production, and I like how it is something different too so is more engaging by being away from the audience.
|
More detail with what you already have sounds good.
