Documentary style - theoretical brief - relation to our major project

As it was already mentioned in recent posts, we decided to create a documentary style of the film for the major project.

The reason why  we chose particular style lie in our social awareness campaign. The major topic for our campaign is a CSG and mining industry that established water fracking project in Sydney, particularly investigative place is St.Peters.

Generally documentaries are made for facing issues in the media and within government policies. In other words, it is quite powerful tool to operate with, because of that such documentary style exists "to show and tell the truth"(Merin, viewed 27/04/2011)

Moreover,"if there is anything in the real world you're interested in, there is probably a documentary film to show and tell you more about it."(Merin, viewed 27/04/2011) in this case our documentary will be quite innovative, especially because we highlight topic about water fracturing in Sydney.

Another reason as well as advantage of choosing documentary style for the major project is: "audiences find them a more interesting and credible source of information than what's produced by most mainstream media outlets that have cut their long form reportage and concentrate more and more on news fluff rather than on news substance. "(Merin, viewed 27/04/2011)

 As a result, documentary style is not only appropriate and suitable for us as a students but also appeal our target audience which is the most important.
