THE THEORY OF

LIFE AFTER
DEATH
Presented by Harry Tregale, Harvey Parslow, Paige McCreadie and
India Knight
Our idea
We are making a documentary on the theory of life after death.
We want to explore different people's experiences and how they
have impacted their beliefs. In our documentary we want to
explore multiple points of view on whether the afterlife exists to
all the audience to make their own conclusion on what happens
next.
This documentary will include a wide range of interviews from
people with different perspectives such as scientific and
biological point of view and a spiritual point of view. Our main
goal for this documentary is to spark conversations and ideas
about what happens next. We would want more people to engage
in conversations about this topic and we hope our documentary
fuels that
 Interviews
Our project will feature four different
interviews.

Three of which will share personal

experiences.

Two of these will give evidence of an

afterlife

Two of these will try and prove the

afterlife nonexistent

Aim and
Purpose
• Our Aim and purpose for this
documentary is too:

• Provide 2 viewpoints on whether the

afterlife exists or not
• Leave the question open if the afterlife
exists for the audience to discuss
between themselves
Research
The documentary "Surviving Death" has
inspired us greatly

• Talks about Near Death Experiences

• Talks about Past Life Experiences

Have spoken to a documentary producer on how

to make our documentary more interesting as
watching a bunch of interviews is boring

• Spoke about different kinds of imagery

- Illustrative and metaphorical

- B Roll
 Style
• The Main style for this documentary is gaping to be
participatory as we will be having a presenter in our
documentary.
• Participatory documentary are when the filmmaker
has an interaction with their subject which is
exactly what we are going for. An Example of a
documentary filmmaker would be Michael Moore
Target Audience and Unique selling
point
• Our target audience for this
documentary is 12A+ due to the
distressing topics we cover some
children under the age might find it
upsetting and might not be able to
grasp the importance of the
seriousness of death.
• Our unique selling point would be our
interviews lined up. We have luckily
contacted some great examples such
as a neuroscientist and people who
remember their past life and near
death, these are our biggest aspects
due to the rarity of having these
circumstances most everyday people
might not have ever spoke or known
to anyone who has these experiences.
Codes and Conventions
• Some codes and conventions we will use in our
documentary include;

• Voice overs

• Presenter

• Archive footage ( Richard Hammond Interview )

• Illustrative imagery ( instead of re-enactments for dramatic

purposes e.g A bright light when talking about Near death )

• In person and online interviews
