The type of documentary I will be doing will be observational because its the type of documentary where you follow the person around viewing and asking questions about their life. I thought I could be asking him questions about he's life whilst following him around and have short clips of a proper interview where he would be sitting down and I would be asking him questions. I also thought I could ask him about where he used to live and what it was like back when he was young then we would visit hes old neighbourhood and see if it has changed and what he remembers about it.
For location I thought that me and him could go back to where he used to live and what he remembers about it, then interview him in his study (office) and have him show me photos/items that relate to what e are talking about. I could also interview other people that have been with him all he's life and ask questions about him to find out more about his life.
My documentary can fall under the genre of a biography as it is following my grandfather around and asking him about past/current events in his life. I will research into some of the best biography documentaries and find out how they construct the documentary and see what camera shots and locations they use.
Good, this is looking promising Jack, now you need more details as to your own documentary plus examples from previous documentaries which you analyse and discuss their pros and cons.
