Researching media texts

 I was browsing google and I found an article on how to make a docuseries. I already know how to make a documentary since I was taught in class, but I just wanted to see what the article had to offer. While I was reading I came across a section where it talks about leaving cliffhangers at the end of each episode for the docuseries. Reading this made me think of how exactly I'm going to structure my documentary. I really want it to be the first episode of the documentary, and I wanna create a fun intro. I'm definitely gonna make my documentary the beginning five minutes of the first episode of my docuseries. So that the audience can get a good idea of what the docuseries is about. The article also mentioned a few other docuseries that I can use for inspiration like Formula 1: Drive to Survive, I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix. I might check it out.

Since the previous article talked about Formula 1: Drive to Survive, I decided to search up any behind the scenes articles that were available for the docuseries. I ended up finding one. While I was reading I eventually found where they talk about how they had some doubt on whether or not they were going to be successful with their docuseries and that they were strangers to everyone and had to slowly be introduced to everyone to actually proceed with their project. This reminded me of the fact that I need to start picking out interviewees. I already know that I'm going to interview my sister, brother, boyfriend, and I don't know who else yet. I know that I want to interview these three people in my life because I know that the three of them love to dress nice and enjoy expressing themselves through clothes. I do want to ask some strangers on how they express themselves, which I will be looking for in the upcoming days.
