Short film type - decision based on research

Making a decision on a short film type is hard as there are many types however one that stood out from the rest which i think i could be very capable of is the documentary type. Its a useful text and looks quite fun and easy to produce. Others we looked at class, were short films that consisted of fiction meaning. There was alot and they seemed to be boring and the same sort of storyline and genre, with documentary atleast we can differ with storylines facts and results.

'Documentary film is a broad category of visual expression that is based on the attempt, in one fashion or another, to "document" reality. ...'

This definition more or less outlines its purpose. whether the document consists of 5 minutes or half an hour, it is supposed to illustrate reality in a factual way.

Looking through you tube's content of short stories they dont really show alot of documentaries, which is a little frightening because i were to produce a documentary which isnt popular anyway i wouldnt get many viewings.

Many documentaries start with real life issues and how they have effected peoples bodies, jobs and lifestyles. The documentary then tries to overcome the problem, and inform the target audience of the solution. This then could result in helping others in the public out too.

Theme/outline: I want my documentary to focus on healthy foods and diet strategies. My idea is sort of inspirational as i try to focus carefully on what i eat and how much exercise i do within my life style. I want to approach this is in a documentary to enable others to see where im coming from, and as the government are trying to help the population eat healthier to further lives. This would then be easy to broadcast as this is the message everyone wants to get out to the public.
