MusicLinks Why is this music

appropriate?

Initial research

http://www.reverbnation.com/melaniefontana

These two songs were made for the documentary that I researched (Shelter Me)

Music for introduction(montage)

This song is a little bit more upbeat and would support the whole preview of the series.

Music for 2 minute development

Sol – Misha Mishenko http://www.last.fm/music/Misha+Mishenko/_/Sol

I think this song is appropriate because it be a slow pace background sound when discussing a serious piece of information from the documentary. For example archival still photographs of animals suffering.

PresenterRepresentation

The presenter is to represent someone who is simply used to guide through the documentary. The presenter will be represented as someone who is unbiased.

Costume/props

The presenters costume not to be exaggerated. The costume will be jeans, a white shirt which will advertise the documentary, white converses and no props will be included.

Body language

The body language would be open to form a relationship between presenter and audience.

Gesture Hand movement gestures would be necessary so that the presenter would come across naturally speaking instead of talking like it has been rehearsed.

Facial expression

The presenters facial expression would be warm and smiling to attract the audience. By having the presenter smiling, this will make the audience feel more comfortable and will make them listen to the presenter.

Speech The speech would be formal. The language will be standard English so that it would appeal to both target and secondary audience.
