I realised that I needed a presenter for my documentary, as I created a new shot list that included one. I asked my friend who is quite a confident and outgoing person to do it as she will not be uncomfortable on camera. These are some screenshots of our conversation about the filming. I am going to be writing a rough script for her, but as with my other interviewees that I have filmed I have only given them guidelines for what to say as I do not want it to seem too manufactured. Frederick Wiseman suggested that there is always, to a certain degree, manipulation in documentaries and movies in relation to the storyline. I am going to try and avoid this as much as possible because I want my documentary to be relaxed and personal, while entertaining people of all ages. I therefore want my actors to be speaking in mainly their own words, without sounding too formal or structured.
