My new documentary idea

Football: Treatment.
The purpose of my documentary is to inform you about how hard it is for people to make it professional in the football industry. Due to rising demands of physical attributes in the game of football in the UK.

In my documentary i will interview a couple of people about their views on becoming football pro's, i will also interview people who play  football at a high level such as, academies such as Coventry City and Leicester and others who play football on either a saturday or a sunday and their views on this topic. I will also interview P.E staff, who may wanted to take football further such as Mr Degroot and Mr Wallen.
I may also try to compare other countries to the U.K based on football and how it may be easier for other people to make it pro in different countries. So this i may use the internet to find statistics, i will be using search engines such google and wikipedia.

The Audience of my documentary is teenagers who desperately want to make it in football or teenagers who watch football as entertainment sport and local fans or supporters. 

The questions i am going to be asking will be as follows:

How do the you think footballs has changed in the past years and do you think it is hard to make it pro than previous years?

Do you think it is easier to make it pro in a foreign country rather than the UK?

To staff: Mr Degroot in your early years did always want to make it pro in your football career and did you have to put in as much effort compared to now?

To staff: Mr Wallen how do think the demand of physical attributes has changed the football game and has this made it harder for people with no physical presence to make it pro?

To youths who play at a high level (either academies or semi pro clubs) Do you are likely to make it pro in your football career and is it a lot of hard work and effort?

Risk assessment: During my documentary everyone being inter-vied will have to avoid trips and wires on the ground, to avoid serious injuries to property and themselves.

Shots: medium shots, close up and long shot.

Preps and Equipment: The equipment we are going to be using are going to be Camera, tripod, lights, footballs,microphone and chairs.

Locations: my selected locations will be the astro turf, out in the streets, P.E office and drama room.

The codes and convention of this video is the the interviews, camera shots, news reports, images, music and blog posts of the video.

Archive material:
Still images require camera movement to keep the audience interested in the documentary
There is a variety of relevant material: newspapers, photographs, website, video footage.

Narrative voice :
holds the narrative together, standard English, usually calm and clear speech. Gender and age is sometimes relevant depending on the topic.
Camerawork:

Handheld camerawork is used for actuality footage where necessary
Establishing shots are used
Pan and zoom are used when filming still images – slow zoom

The Participatory Mode: the encounter between film-maker and subject is recorded, as the film-maker actively engages with the situation they are documenting, asking questions of their subjects, sharing experiences with them. Heavily reliant on the honesty of witnesses
