Proposal

Subject Idea:

The idea for the documentary is about Comic Con. The Comic Con in London will be what the footage will be about. It would continue off from my podcast of being a sequence of episodes 'Pointless Facts' and would be titled 'Pointless Facts:Why Is Comic Con Popular?' It will show what happens at the convention, different people all dressed in cosplay and show that even celebrities venture out to Comic Con. It will also venture into finding out why people go to Comic Con and what they enjoy about it.

Style:

The style of this documentary will be both Expository and Observational. It will be Expository because it will be looking into the facts behind Comic Con and why people think it is popular. It will also look into what people like about Comic Con and why they keep going. It is an Observational documentary because it will have lots of visual footage just observing the cosplayers, celebrities and any other people that come to Comic Con. It will also contain an interview with someone who has been to many different conventions.

Format:

The format of this documentary will be narrator-lead. The voice will be the voice of two different females as the percentage of woman that go to Comic Con are higher than the percentage of men. Thus the Female voices would connect with the female audience and will entice the male audience into watching the documentary. There will be an interview in the documentary from someone who is familiar with both Comic Con and Cosplaying.

Genre:

The genre for the documentary is both informational and special interest. It is special interest because not many people know what Comic Con is yet it is informational to those who don't know what it is and interesting to those that do know and probably go to one of there many conventions. It will be showing people that are not aware of Comic Con what is there, what preparations people go to when they go and who actually goes there.

Target Audience:

The target audience for this documentary is parents and cosplayers. It is directed at parents because it is informing them of what their child is doing if they go to one of these conventions. It will inform parents of what to expect if they go too and to see that it contains a variety of interests that may be for them as well. It is directed at cosplayers too because it informs them, if they didn't know already, that there is a place that allows them to cosplay and meet other people with the same interests.

Intended Aim:

The intended aim for this for the documentary is to inform people of Comic Con and what it has to offer. It will inform parents of what goes on at Comic Con if their children ask to go and it will inform people of a place where they can cosplay, meet people with the same interests and meet their idols. It will inform people who haven't heard of Comic Con what it is, what happens there and what it is all about.
