Genre Research

 I did some research based off of the topic that I chose for my documentary, which is like how people express themselves through their physical appearance. At first I tried searching up episodic documentaries about lifestyle and I mostly got results that were documentaries about food and eating healthy. Which is not really what my genre is about. So, I tried rephrasing. Instead I searched up episodic documentaries about how people express themselves but I didn't really get any results that I was looking for.

After a failed attempt at using google for research, I decided it would be a better idea to take a look at what past students have done on Mrs. Stoklosa's website. It took a bit to find a portfolio project that was a documentary. However, I eventually found one from the 2023-2024 A level section. Her name is Dana and she made a documentary about the role of animals. Which is pretty cool. Her magazine spread is also really cool and creative. Hers looks very much like a newspaper, which kind of inspires me to do the opposite. It makes me wanna make my magazine spread as very colorful and decorative, but not too decorative to the point where it doesn't look elegant and presentable. Like I don't want it to be too formal but I want it to represent the colorfulness and fun that comes with expressing who you are.
