To help me learn more about how a short documentary should be done, I research online for some videos. I thought theses were good examples as
I really liked this animation, because of it's simplisty, it had no commentary and was purely visual but still got its message across in the 1 minute period, showing us that new technologies will help with new power and water resources, how using public transport will reduce fumes etc. there were also only 3 colours used. black, red (negative) and green (positive) and that was really important, because red meaning: anger, danger, stop might emphasie to people more that some things we do are bad for the environment.
In this video from 'JacksGap' the main audience is young adults, and gives us lots of information without dragging on. It's quite direct and fun, they've explained their aim, gone and found research which professionals and discussed how our generation can help, and the main thing is just to care about the situation. There's also some animation in the film which helps to explain things visually that they couldn't do with film, so animation is usefull for doing that.
I also looked as some longer documentaries to see how we could go about interviews and getting the information across. Because I'm creating a animation, I can't really fill the time up with clips people have recorded and commentate over it, so I'll need to look further at informative animations to help us with putting something together.
