I like the subversive idea of the documentary subject being anonymous and not appearing except possibly a voice and working backwards finding a subject(s) to whom this would be appropriate. The use of ECU, silhouettes, lighting, focus and other images will obscure the actual full physical identity of the subject from the audience. It will keep the audience guessing as to if the interviewee is or is not the character they are pretending to be.

GW: ANONYMOUS
As part of the raft of works for the Global Warmning installation piece I thought it may be possible to combine another of the ideas i have been playing around with on the course. This was to embrace the idea of creating a documentary back to front as trying to shoehorn creative style and formats onto documentaries has been to the detriment of the idea. So this will be a back to front approach on deciding the styles and formats I would like to use and then finding an appropriate subject. Whilst the the piece will not essentially be a documentary I will be able to create it as it is a fictional piece and to apply the stylistics to the idea to keep the characters identity a mystery.
