Portfolio Project: Completing My Script & Questions (Content warning)

    I have officially completed my documentary questions and voiceover for my documentary. I believe that my voiceover script includes a perfect balance of statistics that enhance the information that I will be sharing and appealing to the humanity and empathy of those who will be viewing my documentary. I also believe that is voiceover will provide the necessary introduction to the topic that is needed, which allows viewers to understand what this episode will be discussing and take into account the overall impact of this topic. This provides an understanding of how many people are actually suffering that we may not even know about. 
    When writing my documentary questions, I found it difficult to determine where I wanted to start within the story in order to tell the story as I wanted it to be told. I determine that regardless of where the episode will end up going, I would have to start from the beginning in order to familiarize my audience with the topic and build up pathos and ethos between my audience and my subject. I think that while I don't have very many questions, I believe that these questions require longer answers that will introduce the story effectively. 
    Additionally, I would like to offer my subject the opportunity to discuss the aspects of her experience that she would like having been given a starting point as this would provide me the most authentic response and the most personal reproduction of the story. I do hope to add a content warning at the beginning of my episodes as well as I believe that the content of my episodes can be triggering to some who may be working through their own grief or other mental health concerns. Due to the nature of my content this documentary would being rated R if given a rating; thus, reinforcing my millennial audience.
