Meme Documentary




3MW primary and secondary research

3MW primary and secondary research
The primary research for this task is the work that I have done myself. This is writing up the questionnaires for people to read, analysing what I am going to do for my task and then figuring out what sort of memes and people I am going to need for it. All of the primary research I would have had to do myself.

For the secondary research, it was the job of researching what sort of memes that would be suitable for the documentary and making sure that nobody went off topic with it. I had to make sure that the content they were going to discuss was PG and that it would not offend people. I also researched other documentaries like the one I am making so I could get an idea on what to do. By carrying out this secondary research, I found out that a meme that I used in my 3MW was used in the industry world by virgin, who copyrighted it and it had to be taken down. All of this research was other peoples work.

Concept view
For this production, we will set out 2-3 interviews where people will talk about the history, why memes are funny, how they have progressed over the years and how they are being used.
It will be presented in a series of interviews and educational. The target audience will be for teenagers to young adults. We will be filming in the college probably the coffee shop or a secluded area. By doing the documentary, we aim to show people how memes have become a new thing and how they are used to humour people and how they have grown in the years. There will not be a budget for this film, as all will be provided to film the documentary. We will just use the camera equipment and computers for editing. It will be me and Joe who will be organising this documentary; I will ask some others to take part for the interviews. We will not need other crewmembers or experts and we will not need costumes. The interviews will not be question orientated, they will be the people explaining to us what they think has happened, with a rough guideline of what we have told them to do it about. We hope to achieve that the knowledge of memes will be interpreted.
Primary research
For our research we are doing a series of interviews with people that will tell us the history of memes, how they have developed over the years, why they are funny, what different memes there are, how they are used in the industry and their own opinion of memes. We may also conduct a questionnaire about memes to get other people’s opinions and the knowledge about memes because not everyone uses them for the same purpose and to see how far there limit will go when they are looking at memes.
