Behind the Scenes
Here are the behind the scenes of creating our documentary project - completed by Jaden
Title Research & Development
Here is the research and development of possible titles for our project - completed by Giorgio, Carrick, and Jaden
Research
Here is a list of the episodes produced by Four Corners with regard to politics and crime. All of them have a catchy short title that either rhyme or are easy to remember. Their target audience is very similar to ours so that is why we picked Four Corners to base our research off of.
Development
Genre: Crime
Sub-genre: Political Crime
Name Suggestions:
- The Plot
- The Assassin
- Newman's Escape
- Kill Newman
- Bumping Off the New Man
- Attempted Disposal
- Neutralise Newman
- The Newman Plot
- Sitting Duck: The Attempt on Newman
- Newman's Plot
- A National Tragedy: Newman's Edge
- Plotting to Win: Labor's Attempt on Newman
- Goss' Gamble
After having consulted with our teacher and sought valuable feedback from him, we learnt about cultural code. In this context, the cultural code is that people already know who Newman is as he's a leading political figure. Therefore, we don't need to explain Newman's background as our target audience will already know who he is. Titles like "The Plot" and "The Assassin" were too general according to our teacher and others like "Kill Newman" he just straight up said no to. After the discussion, we were able to bring down the choices to just a few:
- Attempted Disposal
- Newman The Idiot
- Neutralise Newman
- The Newman Plot
- Newman's Plot
- Sitting Duck: The Attempt on Newman
We ultimately decided on the more fun option of "Newman's Plot" as it would fit in perfectly with the cultural code and would definitely stand out to an audience of people who would want to click on it as it's a nationally recognised name and a dark scandal that lies beneath the surface.
Self-Reflection:
This helped me stay organized and create a clear plan for filming. My friends agreed to stick to the schedule, which made it much easier to get the project done efficiently. The quicker we handled small tasks like this, the more time we had for the bigger ones, like filming, editing, and discussions. What I found tricky was trying to format the spreadsheet to look neat and readable. I'm used to working with Excel, but for some reason, I decided to use Google Sheets for this. I had to rely on the search function to find the tools I usually use in Excel.

Self-Reflection:
This really helped me stay organized and create a solid plan for filming. My friends also agreed to follow the schedule, which made it easier to complete the project efficiently. The quicker we handle simple tasks like this, the more time we’ll have for the bigger tasks like filming, editing, and discussions. One thing I struggled with was formatting the spreadsheet to look neat and easy to read. I usually use Excel, but for some reason, I decided to use Google Sheets for this task.
