Cast:
In order to create a sense of realism to my documentary, and portray my audio visual in an authentic style; I have decided to go to Jimmy's Night Shelter. By not using actors I will deliver the severity of the issue I wish to explore (homelessness), and not using actors conforms to the genre conventions of documentaries. I believe the material of first-hand accounts of these people will link to the severity of the issue; and mirrors the technique often used in Channel 5's documentaries.
I will use an interviewer to ask the questions to the people at Jimmy's; and I will create an interview plan to ensure I fulfills the 'A Key Turning Point' section of the brief. However, using editing I will focus on the individual's answers instead of the contributions from the interviewer.
To portray significant information, and give the audience an idea of the purpose and contents of the documentary I will use statistics on screen and perhaps will have a voice over to read the information. I also may include non-diegetic sound, in the form of a voiceover, by one of the homeless people I interview at Jimmy's. I believe this will create a psychological perspective to the issue from the victims of homelessness; and this will create pathos for the people I want to interview.
Crew:
I will need to organise both a cameraman, and someone to hold the microphone when i am conducting the interviews. However, my crew will need to be very minimal as there will be many moments whereby I am able to film or hold the microphone. Although, I believe as if having a second perspective on my work by having a crew member will be beneficial to my final product. Despite having crew members, I believe it is important for me to take the most significant role in my documentary; in terms of directing and producing my work.
My simplistic approach to my cast and crew; echoes that of a documentary as my aim is to focus purely on informing my millennial audience of the severity of the issue, and how homeless people are people too.
