This document discusses selecting songs for a documentary. It notes that researching songs now will help with editing later. Songs about social media and phones may engage younger viewers aged 16-20 but annoy older viewers. Most documentaries use non-diegetic music for emotive purposes to get the desired response from audiences.

Relevance of songs
- 2. Songs The relevance of looking at songs will allow us to make quick decisions and what songs we will possibly use for our documentary when we begin the editing process. All the songs we research link to social media and the use of smart phones. However this doesn’t really reflect the effect on education. The use of these songs will be familiar to the lower end of our target audience (16-20) which could mean that they could be more transfixed to the documentary. The other effect of having these songs is that the older end of our target audience may find these songs annoying and may not be as interested as we hoped.
- 3. Songs We have learnt that most documentaries have some sort of music behind them. They mainly use non-diegetic music. Music is used for emotive purposes. Directors use music to get the response they want from their documentary meaning there is a strong engagement between the audience and the documentary. In our documentary we intend to use upbeat piece of audio which may not include lyrics. This is so that our whole target audience can relate to it.
