Above is our (rough) structure for our Documentary. In the Production meeting, Victoria and Jemma worked through the structure and how the story would work out. (This led to a lot of thinking and planning and at one point a drawing of Deadpool while we took a break. Credit to Victoria for the drawing).
Jemma and Victoria walked me though our contributors. We have a Female Drag Queen called Tanya who is the main focus of the documentary, we also have a Professor who can discuss how gender doesn't hold back people and also talks about the different sexualities and genders these days and we also have Oliver, a Drag Queen who we have been in contact with before. Jemma explained that we were going to have interviews with regular people, she considered two people from the straight community. When Jemma explained these 2 contributors I had a thought from my documentary research which was the locked off centre interviews. This was seen in my review for Dreams of a Life where all the interviewees are centre frame. These interviews stand out a lot and aren't often scene in documentaries. With this in mind, I thought this could work for these interviews with the people from the straight community as the idea is they may not agree with Tanya as a new Drag Queen or might have a different opinion and later we'd see then once they've watched her performance.
Also with this structure, Jemma wants to reveal Tanya as a Female Drag Queen later on in the documentary, how I'm going to do that I'm unsure but I've been recommended to watch the Documentaries Queer Britain and also the 10th Season of RuPaul's Drag Race for ideas and inspiration for how we could film these sections of the documentary. I know that I would probably have the Professor's interview as a classic interview style (one side of frame) but the location being her office or a more relevant location to her job/role.
