Looking at archives you can get a great idea of how they used to advertise the Air Training Corps. The video bellow is from just after the battle of Britain and parasitism and morale is high and they use this to their advantage. Making it look like you can be like a spitfire pilot and get a fresh blue uniform attracts those who grew up watching the RAF fighting Jerry above them. They also present having a healthy state of life and that cadets are physically fit. Looking at this I could use some of the techniques they use, I could use something that attracts the boys of the young generation like flying.
Watching recent documentaries that are similar to my idea you can see what appeals you the younger youth. Bellow a recent recruitment video uses clips from flying and gliding to attract people as well as clips of rifle training and drill. They also use a modern song in the background, I plan to do this also.
My local Wing of Norfolk and Suffolk has it's own news website and on this site they post regular stories of what cadets around my area have been getting up to. This is good to look at because it gives me more information of activities that are happening that I can include into my documentary. It also gives me contacts so I can ask them if they have pictures of their activities or video footage. Here is the website; http://nswingatcnews.co.uk/
On the subject of budgets and logistics it is pretty simple. Because I am a part of the Air Training Corps I will be able to incorporate the filming with a SQN night and it will cost me nothing. I will rent out the filming equipment from AV and transport it home with me. The cadets I want to interview will be more than up for it because had recently talked about creating a recruitment video. We have recently have talks about the questions I will be asking and the type of filming I want to do.
If you are looking to film on a public part of pant you will need to gain permission from the local authority or council because they are in charge and responsible of the land. As I am filing on private land and I have the correct permission to film on this land I will not need this.
Will I need to consider libel or defamation? No because my documentary is about showing the positive sides of the ATC and not victimizing anyone. On terms of Ofcom Broadcasting Code we should be ok. I will brief my fellow cadets to no use swear words or offence language and to be well behaved and be a role model, this will cover section one: Protecting The Under-eighteens. I will keep the rating to a stranded of a U rated film so that it can be shown to every one.
I have read through the Viewer Trust Guidelines from the channel 4 website and I looked at part iv about editing interviews. I want my fellow cadets to be happy with what i edit and to not misrepresent the message they are trying to send. Also part iii about Fact-checking and accuracy, I will look over my work and ask my Commanding officer to check over my work to make sure it's accurate.
