Perhaps the two most important aspects to consider when making a documentary is structure and narrative. The two work hand in hand, and over the past week I have been thinking about my own structure and narrative as well elements I wish to include within ALPHA.

​

Overall the aim of my documentary is to take my audience on a journey. I want to take the viewer from a place of confusion to a place of enlightenment, all whilst challenging ideas and perceptions of masculinity. Society has given us all a rigid outline of what is masculine and what is feminine.

 

Throughout my 7 minute long documentary I want to challange societies outline about how men should and shouldn’t act. I will be breaking down these stereotypes by exposing very different types of males and portraying them as complex and emotionally diverse as each other – no matter what their appearance and mannerisms.

​

Constructing ALPHA will be no easy task. With so much to include in so little time I will need to make sure that each of my interviewees is bringing a contrasting and new element into my narrative. After much deliberation I have come up with a outline that includes all the elements I wish to include, as well as who I am planning on interviewing.
