Statement of Intent

 This is my statement of intent for my documentary opening project 

Self reflection: This Statement of Intent has been a crucial factor in helping me create my opening crime documentary project, as it provides a sense of clarity and focus, especially regarding my primary target audiences. Personalizing my content to meet the interests and needs of both primary and secondary audiences, by considering their demographic and psychographic traits, has helped me develop a story that will resonate with them. Moreover, Statements of Intent are important for avoiding content sensitivity. Since my crime documentary portrays teenagers from a specific race and addresses issues such as online dating, it is important to handle these topics delicately and appropriately to ensure that my team and I avoid offending any group. This approach allows us to make the documentary both effective and respectful by recognizing potentially triggering issues and exercising caution with the content we create. Additionally, the Statement of Intent helped us identify the message and impact. By emphasizing the importance of online safety and the dangers of toxic relationships, we clearly defined our dominant reading, giving the documentary's narrative clear direction. It also helped us shape the characters' personalities and choose appropriate settings, adding depth and meaning to the story and making the experience interesting and engaging for our audience.
