Storyboards for my Documentary

Upon primary basis I have my beliefs surrounding the background knowledge my target audience already retains towards the topic of anorexia nervosa and various other mental disorders in this category, therefore I intend to enlighten them by informing them all directly of some statistics regarding the severity and incidences o the condition in the opening sequences, therefore they will able to gain a concept of how many individuals suffer from it etc - this almost acts like a preview as it will engage them instantly before the girl is actually displayed on screen ensuring they are intrigue before the main content is shows. The remainder of my docmentary extract I intend to stage in a staggered fashion, that is constantly referring back to the girl and her mother during their personal interviews whilst also focusing upon the female sufferer in question in a routine of normal every day activities (such as cleaning, going out) as this indicates that despite her life threatening condition, she is still an ordinary person such as you and I and is capable of enjoying average interests even with the anorexia plaguing her movements. This is where the contrast fits in between the interview/movement sequences as the voice over will be continued over the filming even when the subject is not present, this indicates that notion further that the girl cannot escape her illness as it is constantly spoken, referred to and on her mind 24 hours a day. In the way the footage is constructed I hope my audience will be able to identify this idea.

These repeating sequences described above will continue until the climax of the documentary (approximately 2 minutes in length) which will generate focus towards how severely ill the girl got, this forwards the underlying acquisition that although she is functioning relatively normally in her life currently, the anorexia had a massive impact on her life which was almost responsible for her untimely death, this emphasises how dangerous the mental disorder is and will allow the audience to appreciate the suffering a person endures as this is no easy battle for anyone. The employment of personal archive footage consisting of photographs of the girl when she was extremely critical in her physical state aids to reinforce this.
