PRACTICE

Want to experiment? Sketch out a plan for your own documentary film.

Draft a paragraph or two describing a documentary film you could make about a subject you’re interested in (perhaps a hobby, creative outlet, etc.) and that you could treat in an in-depth manner, the way Doug Pray treats hip-hop DJs in Scratch. Think about the point of view of your documentary, people you could interview, and potential audiences for your film, and what they might already know about your topic. What do you want your audience to learn from your film? To what extent do you want to persuade them about your topic? How will you organize your information? Will you frame your documentary as a story or use some other type of structure? Remember, all choices you make should contribute to your overall purpose(s) and help you reach your audience(s).
