This is my mind-map from when I was thinking about what areas would help me when creating my documentary. There is an area for who would be good to interview my my subject, an area about the different styles of documentary making that I could employ and an area for the elements that I would have to pay special attention to when actually filming.

Documentary Interview Framing Technique (WEEK 3)
This is a good example of framing when doing an interview because its a tight shot which focuses just on the person who is being interviewed, this type of framing is particulary used when the background is poor.

A link to the BBC website which shows the power of the police force have since the public drinking ban has been introduced.
What we hope to achieve and by when?
We hope to achieve by the end of filming our documentary is a two different views of the drinking ban. We hope to get views from people that are for the ban and people who are against the ban.
This ban was introduced but never seem to go into depth about how people feel regarding the ban.
We hope to have completed our project by mid December
