Proposal

Proposal
My idea for the 3 minute wonder is a film about my family life, and the struggles over the last 6 months. The story line will be based on my dad who suffers with type two diabetes, and depression. He was also jobless for around 6-7 months. I will also be speaking to my sister about her suffering with anxiety.  
The documentary will be presented in the style of a expository documentary. This style will be most suitable for my documentary because it is going to be very personal between the people on screen and the story that they are telling.
The target audience that this documentary is aimed at is people who have suffered with diabetes, depression, being jobless and anxiety. But this could also be appealing to people who know people that suffer with any of the problems.
I hope to cause awareness of the problems that people face without people they know even knowing what problems they are facing. This documentary will hopefully show that people may show a Happy and excited exterior but what is going on at home is different to how they act.

I will only need to film in 2 locations, the first will be in college where I will be having the interview with Amy Murray. and the interview with me. The other location will be in my home where I will get the interview with Sean Murray and shots of us all doing our everyday activities around the house.

The people that will be involved are Myself as the camera man and also being interviewed in the 3 minute wonder, Amy Murray being interviewed and Sean Murray being interviewed. I have chosen to not have any experts as this is the story of one family and how they are feeling, and not someone who hasn't been through it.

These are just some of the questions that could be asked in the interviews.
How long have you had type 2 diabetes?
How many tablets do you have to take a day?
So how long had you been jobless for?
How has all this changed your daily life?
How long have you being diagnosed with anxiety?
Has it change the way you act around people?
Has your confidence dropped since you got diagnosed?
Who or what has helped you to over come the problems?
Would you say your friends have helped you?

I will not need any equipment in the 3 minute wonder. The only props I will need are the PlayStation that I will be playing on, my sisters IPAD for when she is on it. And pots for when I get the shot of him cleaning them. This also means that there will be no budget for the documentary as I can do it all for free.
