Research commences

I have started researching documentary codes and conventions, and have also began looking into documentaries that are based around stigmatised subjects such as rape and suicide. This is going to help me start to plan out what my sequence will entail and what kind of content I will include to make the potential audience intrigued, but not too upset/distressed with too much difficult content as it is such a sensitive topic.
