Plan for the questions in my first interview for my Final Task

My first interview in my final task will be on subject 1 (Alexei) in which I plan to change some of the questions to suit my topic more. I want to keep the idea of him moving out and the topic of loneliness as I believe it directly correlates to my topic, however, I want to cut the stuff about the past. It will make my final interview more heartfelt.

Therefore I have planned to change some of the questions in my interview, but this is only a plan of the questions, later in the week I will post a blog confirming my final questions in the interview. My first ideas for the questions that I will be asking will conduct the following:

How has the whole process of moving out been for you?

What is a loneliness to you?

Are you lonely?

I believe by cutting the questions much shorter will have a far greater impact on my documentary. I believe that these questions are perfectly correlated with my topic, and will provide a good structure for the start of my documentary.

However, these are only a plan so far and I will be constantly thinking of different ideas that I can use in my interviews. I have cut down the number of questions to 3 as I would rather be there before focusing on the topic of loneliness rather than, have more questions but less focus on each individual topic.

Additionally, I may also not choose to go down the path of loneliness, but instead the path of depression among men. A few examples of the questions I would ask for this topic would be...

Has moving out caused your depression?


How have you challenged this depression?    

It is worth mentioning that I am more inclined to do the set of questions about loneliness, as I already know I will receive the answers that I want.

Preliminary task: editing using Premiere Pro

 Although I have already decided that for my preliminary task, I will be editing using Davinci Resolve due to it being more accessible, while I'm at school, I decided to edit the preliminary task with Premiere Pro as well just to compare the results.                                           I used Premiere Pro last year to edit my tasks but in my opinion, I found it far harder to use than Davinci Resolve, however now I am getting more comfortable with this software and would like to start using it more by practicing on it.

Ideas for the questions in my surveys

In my documentary due to the topic being sensitive I would like to complete my own research in which the candidates will appear anonymous. I believe this will provide a much stronger meaning and reinforce real statistics rather than statistics found on the internet. I aim to create a survey that any male individual can participate if they wish; I then want to compare these results with each other and see if there are trends which become macro or micro. I am not quite sure yet if I want to make the samples micro but more detailed, or macro and less detailed. I believe it would be better if I made the sample on the survey macro and then I can conclude an interview with a participant which focuses in more detail on the topic. I am also considering doing a survey for females, in which they state their beliefs into the terrible topic of male suicide. I feel like this would be beneficial to spread awareness to people. I have thought of numerous examples which I may use in my survey such as: ...
