Documentary Treatment

For this documentary we’re going to be interviewing an entertainer. It won’t be like a standard studio interview you would see at a radio station or on live television. We’re going to capture him in his element, that way he feels more comfortable and he’ll be able to give us genuine, honest answers to our questions. The objective is not only to conduct an effective interview but to also give the viewer insight into his world, following him around and getting footage of what would be a normal day to him. This could be getting footage of him in the studio or even as simple as recording him lounging in his living room. We’re looking to take a realist approach in documentary style, trying to keep things very authentic. By the end of the documentary, we want to assure that viewer has a better understanding of who this person is, as well as the environment that shaped them to be.
