Our idea for a documentary is to investigate the controversy surrounding gay Christians. This is a sensitive subject that has been in the news a lot and yet skirted around. We aim to provide an unbiased view of the debate that follows homosexuals practicing Christianity.
Is it viable?
Our documentary has viability because we have access to organisations concerned with our investigation. For example the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement is a UK based charity that holds events every month in London that would be easy to gain admission to. We are in the process of contacting a few of the people involved and are planning on asking for interviews at a later date. This would be invaluable because they would be able to give an opinionated point of view on something they obviously feel strongly about.
One of our group members also knows a gay christian personally who would be happy to air his views for the documentary.
Where would it be filmed?
During our documentary we would like to have a number of cut-aways to footage of churches and have already found a list of churches nearby that are gay friendly. However we would also like to film a few churches that are not so open to homosexual Christians as well as interviewing vicars or priests who disagree also.
As well as churches being relevant to our documentary they will be nice locations to film in because many of them are very picturesque, for example catholic churches which place great emphasis on beauty in statues and stained glass windows.
Who would be the target audience?
Our documentary will not have a very specific target audience, but will be more generally aimed at young adults and above who would be interested in the subject matter.
How would a five minute extract fit into a larger documentary?
We have decided we would like to film a five minute extract starting at the beginning of the documentary because we would like to do a creative opening sequence.
Why would a television channel want to commission our documentary?
Because the subject is controversial and yet very much relevant to today's society a television channel would want to commission our documentary for its originality and first hand accounts from either side of the debate. As we are not biased towards one opinion or another our documentary will be informative and different to the many others that are out there.
