3MW Research [Primary and Secondary]

My primary research is my questionnaire which I've asked various people to get a rough understanding of how they feel. I've also [within the video] used my own personal experience of going to the bathroom, just my walk to the only toilet I feel comfortable using because it's a unisex toilet. My secondary research is present through Google's definition of 'Transgender' and through a book I was given to help me out. The book contains information about how to walk through the transition to become the person you want to be. It also talks about coming out to friends and family.

3MW Proposal - Pitch

-My idea is awareness of transgender people. I will not, however, directly talk about how transgender people deal with their situation, more so about the people around them and how family, friends, work colleagues and subject teachers react and act towards the person they know.

-The genre of my documentary is interactive. Mine will involve asking questions to the people within my documentary. These questions will be related to how they react or how they would react to transgender people.

-My target audience would be mostly 16-30 year olds, perhaps extending the range on both sides.

-I’m hoping that most - if not all - of the filming will be done within the college; though I may have to do filming outside of the college during after hours.

-I will not need experts for the documentary, all I will need are selected people who I will personally interview; similar to Louis Theroux.

-Various questions will be asked. An example of the sort of questions that will be asked is “Do you think people who are transgender are influenced in their choices?”.

-Props and costumes won’t feature within my film, meaning there won’t be anything that I will have to purchase for the documentary, making a budget list irrelevant.
