Similar Product I found this similar product on
you tube a 5 minute documentary about the
homeless on the streets of Portsmouth made by university
students.
From this similar product I have seen some techniques and lots
of ideas for music and fonts.

Title and Credits
I have decided to go with a black and white theme as I feel this is most fitting for the topic.
Fonts and Colours
FONT font Font Font Font Font Font
I I have decide to choice a very simple and formal font of Arial it’s a very
well know and used font which people recognize and is easy to read.
With my earlier project I spend a lot of time researching fonts, looking on the internet to download a shocking and different font this caused problems
choosing a simple but effective options this project.
Voice OverResearch and Script
I Conducted some research on voice over's to see what sort of voice would suit the theme of my documentary I
also found tips to the narrative can be affective.
