'Little Shop of Horrors' is one of my favorite broadway shows so I couldn't help myself with this reference to 'A Little Dental Music' from that musical. But that's not what this post is about, in this post I'm going to discuss some of the research I have done so far after speaking with my teacher about the project last class.
I watched one episode of the docuseries 'The Toys That Made Us' on Netflix. This series is interesting because of the way they did the episode breakdown. By focusing on one toy each episode it allows the production to continue for as many seasons as it wants, it gives the concept longevity instead of limiting it. The episode I watched was about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and it was interesting to see the mix of archive and new footage. The episode was on the longer side, about 45 minutes and I definitely found myself losing interest in certain parts of the piece. This showed me that for our target audience we really need to follow the advice of keeping the episodes short. I also would have liked to see more visuals, for example they spoke about the insane sales for the TMNT toys after an episode would air and it would have been nice to show that frenzy in graph format or something along those line.
I also looked into the Instagram page of the documentary film 'Meru' to get a better idea of what our social media page should look like. The page included a lot of shots from the production as well as photos of celebrities with the directors. It seems like the Instagram was used to tease the different scenes of the documentary by showing a few different mountain climbing shots. This tells me that even though we are only filming an excerpt of one episode maybe we should create a still image or staged "shot" to embody each episode and post that on our social media page.
