Upon finding out about the development of our production in this year, we needed to develop an understand for the use of documentary in a contemporary society, such as we are today. Therefore we are now undergoing a research task, and social experiment to discover the way in which documentary is used in a modern society.
The choices made for Seven Days were interesting ones. Seven Days follows 10 people in Notting Hill for 7 days, the show then documents their average every day life. The documentary has set up forums such as twitter and facebook to allow audiences to access the people on the show and present them as very normal people, in equality with the people who are watching the show. Although representing media conventions in this series, it is incredibly unconventional and therefore the audience are intrigued by the reality of what is going on.
As part of the audience base, I am intrigued to see the development of the show. As it is only 3 episodes in, we are setting up expectations from the characters and their interactions. The power shift has occurred, an television audiences officially have the power. What will the audience chose to do?
