Stats - Helping to build our documentary story

As our documentary is a medical one we though that showing stats would be another good way to develop our story and to talk about dopamine. Embarassing bodies which i have previously looked at does this very well by displaying the stats over the background of what they are talking about. By doing this we are able to inspire and give insight to our viewer and in some ways shock them they the facts as the voice over runs over it.

I thought it was a better way of answering the next question to our story than a black screen with writing on it. Looking at a  coloured screen with faded images in the background that relate to what they are talking about, is a lot better.

Something like this could be used in our editing because our documentary is quite bright and visual, so a black screen might take away that meaning. Something vibrant in the background of the statistics would keep our audience focused on the screen and they would probably be likely to actually read them.

Victoria found some examples of statistics that agree with what one of our interviewee's have said

• 1 in 3 users would rather go a week without sex than give up their device- NBCNEWS.com
  
• 21% would rather starve than go without their mobile phones 'Daily Mail' 
• 34% check their phone before they get out of bed.
