In the previous module 360mc I had known what I wanted to do for
the 361mcI learnt that the 361mc FMP project had to be on something
you enjoy doingand are passionate about. I have to admit in the
beginning I was afraid toconfess what I wanted to do; I knew from
the foundation that I wanted toabsolutely wanted to create a
documentary I went over a few ideas with mytutor and my tutor
questioned my ideas and gave me the idea to do adocumentary on
Beyonc.
Its quite clear and obvious that I am a big fan of Beyonc and
very passionateabout her. I had an idea of creating a documentary
about the beyhive, which

is what Beyonc calls us (her fans), however since this
documentary wasbased on something I am so passionate about I had a
lot of ideas. My firstidea was to create a documentary on the
beyhive a documentary based onwhy we love and adore her so much and
what it takes to be a Beyonc fan,sometimes it does feel like a job
because it takes more than liking her musicto be accepted as a
Beyhive. My second Idea is recording a real lifedocumentary to
finding Beyonc, which I am very excited and nervous about Iam
planning to contact record labels Beyonc has worked with such
asColumbia Records and Sony records, I also have the idea of
travelling to newyork to ParkWood Entertainment which is her
current record label and also heroffice she sometimes randomly
arrives at her office which would be a goodopportunity for me to
catch her. It will almost be impossible to meet herhowever I
believe going to ParkWood entertainment in New York will probablybe
the closest I could get to Beyonc.
At this moment I am currently seeking cheap flights to New York
for April. Iregret not putting my name down on the New York trip
with the media coursebecause I could have been able to go to New
York with people on my courseand still be recording my documentary.
Now I have to go with my crew andmyself.
I have contacted the Centre for global engagement through
telephone they didinput they could pay for my trip to New York.
However I would have to paythe ticket myself and once I have paid
the ticket myself they will needconfirmation of flight ticket,
travel insurance details etc.. And that is whenthey will pay me
back.
Therefore at this moment I am currently trying to
Look for cheap flight tickets to New York.

Making sure Beyonc will be in New York at the time
According to my research Beyonc lives at 195 Hudson Street:
Curbed NewYork. However I will have to get confirmation that this
is her address. I haveviewed photos of her New York mansion but I
just need to confirm thisaddress, although Beyonce has many houses
across the world I choose totravel to her record label in New York
because she may be there and may notbe.
I definitely sounds crazy and absurd that I am travelling from
London to NewYork and have mentioned her address of her New York
Home. Especially herfamily home! Many people I know from my family
and friends to tutors toshop keepers know my passion for Beyonc and
the obvious Fact that I am amassive fan of her, I believe this
journey to finding Beyonc will beentertaining to the audience. For
example my short clip video of myself at theBeyonc Concert last
year a lot of people found it hilarious at my reactionseeing her
live in concert so I definitely want to take this documentary to
anupper notch for myself and also to entertain my audience
especially otherbeyhive moments.
I have come up with the name of my documentary which is called
My Journeyfinding Beyonc I am aiming very high with this
documentary. I would likethis documentary to be similar to the
Borat film documentary. Borat travelledacross the world to seek
Pamela Anderson except his film was a bitinappropriate and quite
immature in my opinion. My documentary will differfrom his.
Now that I have my idea I am planning on hiring a Director,
Sound andCameraman to help me with this documentary. I want this
documentary tolook a specific way therefore I want to hire
professional individuals that arenot new to media production and
have had some sort of experience in one of

the roles I am seeking for. I have been familiar with Mandy.com
for somewhile now Mandy.com is database of television film,
producers, and facilitiesworldwide. They post jobs within media and
also allow individuals to postadverts regarding media jobs.
I was definitely nervous to post an advert on the website. I did
not know whatto say or even how to begin, I firstly listed on the
advert that I would torequest for Directors, Sound and Cameraman, I
only want a small set of crewthe reason why I want just those three
is because the idea of thisdocumentary is literally just basically
following me around trying to findBeyonc I do not need a make-up
artist I do not need set design, lighteningfloor manager etc.. And
I will be producing this myself. Right after I had putmy advert up
I made it very clear in the description that I was looking forthose
three roles, I also stated I am a student at university and am
looking forindividuals to participate in a non-pay job and that
this could be a greatopportunity to add to their CV and
experience.
I assume people understood I was a student seeking for help and
are willingto help, however in my opinion I believe what stood out
to them was the titleof my journey My journey to finding Beyonc I
definitely consider that is whatcaught their eye. Within minutes my
email was loaded with resumes.
I began to view their resumes, CVs, show reels and a few show
reels Idiscovered a few I adored
It took me a few days to reply to the successful ones and email
theunsuccessful candidates.
It was a very hard decision and for the first time I felt like a
judge on the XFactor show, although they were all good at what they
do I wanted the bestdocumentary filming. I could have hired an
individual from Media Productionhowever I felt more comfortable
starting afresh with a crew I did not know.

Thankfully the candidates I selected have their own equipment. I
met a younggentleman by the name of Gelmetintin which is the camera
man so far wehave spoken via phone call and gave him a brief of
what I want and about thedocumentary; I also met the director that
will be directing the documentary.
I am disappointed I am not able to travel to New York to film
more on mydocumentary I regret that I did not proceed with this
project a year ago, thereason why I say this is as of now I am
unable to travel to New York andmeet with Beyoncs record label
because of time I am unable to proceed withthe things I had
planned. However I have decided that this part of mydocumentary
will be the beginning of my journey to meet Beyonc formerlyafter I
finish University I can continue to do part two of my journey to
meetingBeyonc and am certain by that time I will be on another
level of trying tomeet her.
Beyonc is one of the top five powerful females meeting her will
not take aday it may take months of hard work. Unfortunately my
Final Major Project isdue in May so meeting Beyonc and going to New
York is unlikely.
So this week I met up with the director and the camera man, the
director alsobought his personal assistant with him he suggested it
would be a good ideaand I agreed and thought it would be a good
idea too. I was very excited tomeet them as in to get the
production on the go. I was also nervous becauseit was my first
time meeting them. I met the Director and his personalassistant in
Pret A Manager first then the cameraman followed later on to
jointhe meeting.
We began our meeting by me explaining to them what the
documentary wasabout I then opened my notepad to write down notes
and dates of filming andwhat they didnt understand. The Director
and his personal assistant areItalian and moved to London not too
long and the cameraman is from Greece,

so they found it difficult to understand certain things I meant
however theyunderstood the idea of my documentary and found it very
interesting andexciting. After our meeting we all came to a
conclusion that I will send out anemail of the locations,
storyline, Equipment and what is next for filming.
How I plan on getting Beyoncs attention? In this generation
social media isa very powerful and had influence on many people, in
addition to that note Ibelieve that using social media as one of my
ways to reach out to Beyonce;Twitter, Facebook, Instgram and also
contacting the beyhive which areBeyonce fans as long as it is
Beyonce they will definitely get involved with theproject. So
Beyhive plus social Media is one of the ways to try and getBeyoncs
Attention.
Another way I plan to get Beyonces attention is trying to
contact her recordlabels such as Parkwood Entertainment and Sony
records to try speaking topeople that have physically met her and
try inquiring them how they met her.Although this may be very hard
to meet Beyonce through other people, it ispossible she may hear
about my project.
As this part of the documentary will be a Part One of the
journey I hope todiscover that in my next second part of my
documentary Beyonce launces anevent for her fans for example: A
concert, a Perfume Launch, an AlbumRelease party. An event for her
fans to be present, this could be anopportunity for me to attend
these events as guests ,purchase VIP tickets orBackstage passes to
meet and greet her.
In this generation social media is a very strong communication
network. Iwould like to discuss an example of a YouTube video of a
fan that went viralwithin the space of time, the video is a video
of a Brittany Spears fan cryingto the camera telling people to
leave Brittany spears
alone!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc some fans may not
havefound the video amusing however most viewers did and the video
blew so far

that even Brittany Spears herself viewed the video herself.
It would be very exciting and amazing news if my documentary was
verysuccessful and goes viral. After I complete this project part
one and part two Ihope to submit the documentary through many film
festivals to get mydocumentary noticed, I am aiming to go above and
beyond for thisdocumentary I do not want to go through all the hard
work of meetingdirectors and cameramen travelling from location to
location and most of alleven meeting my idol Beyonce herself and
not authorizing my work to theaudience, especially they Beyhive
fans. This project is a project about my idolsomeone I am so
passionate therefore I would love for this documentary to bevery
successful and go above and beyond. I would be disappointed for
theproject to go to waste and not submitted the reason why I admit
I would bedisappointed is because I strongly believe this project
has potential to beentertaining to many people especially
individuals whom appreciate Beyoncsmusic but fail to understand why
fanatics like myself and beyhive are sopassionate about her.
Beyhive We Beyonce fans are the bees and she is the Queen B
which is whyshe calls us the Beyhive.
After my meeting with the directors and the cameraman I have
beencontacting them via emails about what is next and exactly how I
would likemy documentary, however I have been struggling to get
licensing with Sonyrecords, I want a worker at Sony records to
feature in my documentary todiscuss Beyonce. I am required to go
through licencing with Sony however Iam very afraid and nervous
about how long the licensing would take and mostof all if I would
even get through to licensing, the reason why I admit myworries is
because the past few days I have been calling up Sony records
andthey have been referring me to a co-worker by the name of Tom to
sort outthe licensing work. Unfortunately Tom has not been
available to answer thetelephone, I am determined for Sony to
feature in my documentary as it

would be a great opportunity for my documentary.
As time is going by I am becoming worried calling Sony records
everyday so Iplan on travelling to Sony records later this week in
London and hoping to gothrough licensing then hopefully speak to
them about licensing.
I am definitely travelling to New York and excited in the next
part of myjourney to finding Beyonce I recently found out that
Beyonce had left heroffice Park Wood Entertainment in New York and
a part of me wasdisappointed reason being I knew that if I had
booked my trip to New Yorkand went to her record label I would of
definitely met her. However I amexcited in the next part because
she constantly arrives at her office. So this isa very high chance
of me meeting her although I may not meet and greet herface to face
nevertheless I may just get involved with the paparazzi to getclose
up.
I want to be noticed and my project to go viral, I am serious
about this projectand actually meeting Beyonce therefore I would
like to make Help DelaviMeet Beyonce! t shirts for my crew and I.I
have been looking at plain t shirtsonline preferably black t shirts
and Pink font writing. I also believeconstructing the t shirts
would give the production a bit more of an edge andfun! The t
shirts would be designed for me and everyone on my team.
At the start of my documentary I also want a ten second sneak
peak of the tshirt designing to be featured in the trailer of my
documentary. I want mycrew to be walking away from the camera in
slow motion but then I willappear in the middle with my t shirt on
that vision will represent me quiteclearly being Delavi me on my
journey to Beyonce. As the audience watch mytrailer I would want
the audience to feel excited and curious to find out whathappened
next? Where did Delavi go? Who did she meet? And did she evermeet
Beyonce? I would love to keep people excited entertained and
curious.Although I strongly believe part two of my documentary will
be even more

exciting and entertaining I would like to give the audience a
teaser.
I would also prefer my trailer to a small piece of music
alongside with anarration of my voice; I will be using instrumental
music of a close friend ofmine.
I had planned on filming at Sony Records which are under
Colombia records,Rob Stringer is the current owner of Columbia
records he is friends withBeyonce and was once in her documentary.
I would have been very happy tointerview him about Columbia records
and also Beyonce, However for weeksand weeks I have been calling up
the record company explaining my projectand who I am I was told to
email the reception and wait for a replyunfortunately they have not
replied to any of my emails. I am verydisappointed that this could
not be part of my documentary I strongly believeit would have been
a great opportunity to get closer to Beyonce. I am alsodisappointed
at myself that I had potential to get into the record label if I
hadbeen persistent with them months ago.
Now that Sony Records did not go to plan I will stick to my
original plan bytravelling around London and asking the public what
they think of my bizarreidea and where I could find Beyonce? I will
get an opinion on what thepublics thoughts I will then travel to
the o2 arena where Beyonce hasperformed many times and it is also a
very special place for me because thatwas the very first time I saw
her in concert which was the best day of my life.
This week has been very busy for me I have started filming
Although myselfand my crew are excited I am still nervous as well I
have rented equipmentfrom the media loan shop in Ellen terry.
First day of filming
I was definitely nervous on my first day of filming, I first met

director Stefano with his personal assistant later on I met up
with mycameramen, I am proud and delighted that I hired
professional directors andcamera men on mandy.com. Our first
location was at London Bridge andasked the public about Beyonce and
how I can find her? I found it veryinteresting and was full of
excitement as the majority of the public wereforeign which
interested me because I assumed London Bridge would be full ofmore
young people. After interviewing more people from abroad it was
quiteclear that I had come to a place of sightseeing where most
people fromabroad would visit whilst on holiday in London. I had no
problem with askingpeople from abroad although it was quite
difficult for them to understand me.For example when I would ask
them to help me sing along a famous Beyoncesong they would not
understand my question unless I would sing a Beyoncesong then they
would know who I am asking about.
We were running on a scheduled time so by 11am we had to make
our way toFrame a dance workshop. Frame is a dance workshop I came
across justthree days before we started filming I was so thrilled
to find a danceworkshop three reasons why; 1.My visit to Sony had
gone down the drain 2. Iabsolutely Love to dance especially to
Beyonce and 3. I could add moreBeyonce footage to my project which
was amazing.
Firstly I goggled Beyonce dancers because I originally wanted to
produce adedication video to put at the end of my project and I
came across a Beyonceworkshop from frame, I called up but there was
no answer instead I emailedthem exactly what I wanted to achieve,
what my project is about and the mostimportant permission.
We left London Bridge and made our way to Queens Park,
unfortunately mydirector only had an Oyster card for buses only I
was fine with travelling bybus however the journey from London
bridge to Queens Park took almostabout an hour by bus, I checked
the journey by Train on Transit UK which isan App for London
travel, by train it would of taken us 20 minutes,
Easily create high-quality PDFs from your web pages - get a

unfortunately on the day of filming there was a parade and
caused buses ondiversion and because of this case it took us even
longer to get to QueensPark. We travelled from South and Central
London to North West London thiscaused our journey to be even
longer than I thought in my documentary Iexpressed how I felt about
running late to the workshop and also the fact thatI paid for the
workshop to secure my place for the Beyonce workout, I
wasdevastated I was running late at this time I was 10 minutes
late, I called in tospeak to Camilla one of the team members and
dancers of frame to explainthat I would be running late she
understood and was completely fine with mysituation. Although she
was fine with the situation I was still unhappy I wasrunning late.
Eventually we arrived at Queenss Park and Google mapped thevenue
the walk was about 15 minutes walk as we got lost we finally found
thevenue altogether I was 50 minutes late, I was so disappointed in
myself andwas frightened I would miss the whole dance class.
Luckily I quickly changedinto my black t shirt and black leggings
and joined in the dance I wasextremely proud of myself that I
picked up the dance within seconds of joiningin. I found it quite
awkward that the whole class turned to watch me as I waswith a crew
even though I advised Camilla beforehand in the email for
herpermission to film thankfully she happily agreed. During the
filming therewere a few people that did not want to be filmed and I
completely understoodso we separated them from the people who did
want to be filmed as theystood to the side we filmed me and the
people who wanted to be filmed, thedance was Beyonce Run the
World.
After filming the dance scene I spoke to the dance directors and
apologisedfor being late and carried on filming. As the day was
drawing to a close wewere all tired and got some lunch. We
discussed the next part filming andwhat we think about what we have
done so far. We have all decided to meetat Oxford Circus tomorrow
at 10am.
Second day of filming

I met up with my crew at a coffee shop in Oxford Circus and
grabbed a coffeebefore filming it was cold today so I had my jacket
on whilst filming. We onceagain met a lot of people from Germany,
France, and Hungary all over theworld in Oxford circus, Piccadilly
Circus, and Trafalgar Square. I began to geta little frustrated
that I had not found young people from the UK to feature inmy
documentary although people from different countries were fun
andinteresting I still wanted people from the UK, Next weekend I
plan on filmingin Greenwich the o2 I hope to find people from the
UK there. Today we filmedand spoke to the public and found some
hilarious singers singing anddiscussing Beyonce. I enjoyed the
filming today there was much improvementthan yesterday and also
receiving feedback from my director and cameramanI am adjusting to
the feedback I got from them to make my documentarymore exciting.
From the Answers I received from the public today I am evenmore
excited to travel to New York to film the part two of my journey
tofinding Beyonce. Next weekend during I hope to gain as much as
footage as Ican I want my documentary to make sense to the audience
and also so thatthey find it interesting, humorous and
entertaining.
The fact that I am in England trying to discover Beyonce there
are only limitedactivities I can only do which is why it is
compulsory for me to film the secondpart of this documentary in New
York, I strongly believe I will get closer andget something out of
the New York Trip.
Copywriting and Permission are not what I quite expected in this
project Icontacted the o2 in Greenwich to ask for permission to
film inside the o2where Beyonce actually performed many concerts in
that venue. I had such anamazing vision of filming inside the o2 I
imagined myself standing in themiddle of the arena and the camera
filming me 360 turn and me closing myeyes and the audio of
screaming fans in the background I also imagined doinga little
Beyonce routine dance on the stage and using my own footage at
theBeyonce concert I attended and using split screen me on the left
and Beyonceon the right.

Permission has been extremely hard for me, I even had to call up
some clubs,Restaurants and hotels that Beyonce has stayed at but
due to the process ofpermission taking weeks and months and with
deadline approaching I wasunable to go ahead with some parts of
filming.
I researched on copy writing because I do want to use a few
Beyonce songs inmy project and I am allowed to use only 30 seconds
of her music. I am stilldeciding on what type of music I would like
to use of from Beyonce it does nothave to be a Beyonce soundtrack I
would like this project to be full of Beyoncelike the fanatic I am.
If I do not end up using a Beyonce track I may just use acalm
up-tempo song instead.
I have had a think about where this documentary will go? There
are manydownfalls in creating documentaries some documentaries are
successfulenough get accepted into film festivals or even some
major productioncompanies then later get showcased to the audience
on television. Of course Iwould like this documentary to be shown
on major television companies suchas channel 4 or even MTV. A
downfall in producing a documentary could bemany things, the
documentary could either have a bad storyline or filmingmay not go
according to plan. I am afraid that my downfall in making
thisdocumentary would be spending money on filming and travelling
and creatinga very good high quality documentary and becoming
unsuccessful in a filmfestival or a television company not
accepting it.
In the beginning of planning this documentary I originally had a
rough idea ofmy budget list however eventually when I rented and
out equipment from themedia loan shop and had explained to my
director and cameraman my projectand my occupation they decided to
then do it free of charge as it is for mycoursework at this point
into my final major project I had no set budget foranything yet.
During filming in London I did eventually had to pay for travelfor
myself and on my oyster however at the end of my documentary my
Easily create high-quality PDFs from your web pages - get a

-
cameraman asked if I could pay for his travel for the days we
had beenshooting I agreed because the cost to me was affordable
7.
I would like my target audience to be a very wide range from
13-27 thereason why my target audience is a wide range from a young
age to late 20sis because the majority of the young people may be
part of the Beyhive andBeyonce fans, also Beyonce has been in the
music industry for over 15 yearsso she grew up with so many of us
going into the older category, many of theaudience can watch it and
be watching because they are a Beyonce fan or bewatching it because
that is how they may have been when they were young,the other part
of the audience could be watching it to have a great laugh andto
see how far I would get to try and meet Beyonce and may find my
journeyhumorous.
I would like to believe that my documentary belongs on the media
or musicplatform I would definitely like it to be shared upon
social media and spreadacross the world however on the other hand I
would like it to be shown ontelevision not just this part of the
documentary but when I actually producepart two in New York and
hopefully find Beyonce I would want the fulldocumentary to be
premiered on a music channel like MTV, Channel 4 or evenBBC Three.
However at this stage I hope to get this part of my
documentaryproject through social Media
Final Days of filmingThe past few days of filming have been
hectic as well as exciting butunfortunately my main location of
filming has not gone to plan we filmed thefinal ending of the
documentary on the other hand I did not happen to film atthe o2 in
Greenwich for many reasons. My crew and I met at o2 Greenwich
tostart filming the venue, there were many complications at this
filming reasonbeing for many weeks and months I have been emailing
and calling the o2customer services to enquire about the arena up
to now I have no reply. So Idecided the go there with my crew and I
and film, my camera was so

determined not to film OUTSIDE the o2 and I failed to understand
why? Thepast few days we have been filming around Londons famous
landmarks andso I didnt understand why my cameraman did not want to
film outside the o2,so because he refused to film outside I went
ahead to ask customer service ifwe could film outside the o2 two
members of staff both suggested that Ishould go ahead and film but
if I was to be stopped then I put the cameradown but they both
seemed quite sure it was okay for me to film outside. If Icould not
film inside the o2 venue I wanted to at least film outside but
sadlymy cameraman still said no. I was disappointed and did not
understand whyhe would not shoot when it was my documentary. I
spoke to a security guardat the o2 and explained to him what my
documentary was about and where inthe o2 I wanted to film he even
agreed and suggested I should film if I shouldhappen to get caught
and stopped by somebody and asked for permission Ishould obey and
stop filming, he then said to me that maybe one of thereasons why
the customer services hadnt replied to me are probably becauseI am
just one person wanting to film and I am not part of a big
organizationsuch as BBC or MTV that may have been one of many
reasons why they hadntgotten back to me. As our day drew to a close
so early I was devastated andthe o2 arena is such an important
place for me as that was the first time Isaw Beyonce in concert and
is full of happy emotional memories. This is partof downfalls in
producing documentaries linked to permission, not being ableto film
at important locations places.
We finally finished filming and called it a day and Stefano my
director took onthe job to edit the reason why I did not edit is
because editing is my weakestpoint in media and for this project I
would like good quality work for my finalmajor project it is very
important to me. Before we set out to filming Iexplained during my
meetings with my crew to my director exactly how Iwant my
documentary I want my documentary to be an up-tempo fast
pasteddocumentary and have a positive fun and bubbly
environment.
I definitely had ups and downs during the making of this
documentary becauseEasily create high-quality PDFs from your web

I had a big idea in the beginning of travelling to New York and
meeting myidol over the weeks many things changed and did not go to
plan, my mainconcern was if the audience would understand the point
I am trying to prove.Although I did not travel to New York to film
or even meet my idol Beyonce Iam very proud I at least got the
feedback from the public in the UK and whatthey think and also on
the fact that the audience would understand thepurpose of this
documentary and what my aim is.
I am very proud of myself for stepping outside of my comfort
zone and goingto find cameramen and directors with experience to be
involved in mydocumentary. I have known about Mandy.com for many
years now and Ireceived over thirty resumes, in the last days I
received my last few resumesand came across an email from the
cameraman I hired.
Dear Delavi,
It is a unique opportunity for me to work with team like yours.
Having workedwith many private television channels over a period of
ten years, I still findmyself fascinated by the constant
developments of this job and this is whatmakes me eager to educate
myself along the way. I want to work in yourcompany because I
believe it will provide me with new knowledge and it willgive me
the chance to develop new skills. It was not an easy choice to
leavemy country and the jobs I had there; nevertheles, I could not
help but wantingto satisfy my inner need to become the best I can
be. It was for this reasonthat I decided that I wanted to work in
London, in a company like yours.Hopefully, the combination of my
years of experience in the field along withthe companys and its
workers expertise will result to a great cooperation thatwill be
beneficial for both parties.
One of the people who inspired me and motivated me to go ahead

documentary project is a Singer/Actor / producer and dancer by
the name ifTodrick Hall, I am a fan of todrick hall and am very
happy at how far he hasbecome. Todrick hall created a dance to
Beyonce in a shopping centre inAmerica and from that YouTube Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q7R9qFcrbI the video went viral
and Beyonce herself came across thevideo and personally made a
video to him Thanking him and giving him ashout out and that came
from a dance video on YouTube and so that hasdefinitely inspired me
from that video it has not been the end of the road forTodrick hall
it has kick started his career and currently now has a
verysuccessful career as a choreographer, he then went on to
produce many dancevideos on his YouTube Channel
http://www.youtube.com/user/todrickhall
He then became recognizable across America and made a dance
video of theCinderella featuring all strictly Beyonce songs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r7mGAxWB04 which then blew
theinternet again and from that video Beyonces management contacted
him tochoreography Beyonces music video Blow from her latest Album
Beyonce,and has now worked with Beyonce which is an amazing
achievement.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo58qP5gkh8 . It is
very exciting andmotivating that Beyonce is even a fan of his work,
I do hope that in the futureI could become of the lucky people to
be like Todrick Hall and work withBeyonce because he was just a fan
like the rest of the Beyhive.
He recently made another Music video with ALL of Beyonces songs
in 4minutes which once again went viral

According to my research via twitter Beyonce left her office
Parkwoodentertainment in New York last night I have previously
mentioned that one ofmy main plans were to go to New York and film
especially outside her office, I

have witnessed on a number of occasions that Beyonce does attend
her officevery often. My idea travelling to New York was mainly
because of I knew if Ihad not met her I know I would of at least
seen a glimpse of her walking inand out of her office. A perfect
example is she was seen walking out of heroffice last night and a
fan of Beyonce managed to take a photo with her. Idefinitely feel
some type of way about her even being at the office I wasgoing to
film at and also a fan taking a photo with her at this moment in
otherwords I have missed my opportunity to meet my celebrity
Icon.

From my 360mc coursework one of my artefacts was to produce
adocumentary on my career what I planned to do and what I planned
to doafter graduating reason why this was my first idea was because
at that timeentering into my final year at university it had been
on my mind how fast timewas going and my final days of my degree
were approaching I wanted toproduce a documentary on what I wanted
to do after university and would Ihave achieved my goal?, my mind
changed when I read the brief on 364mc Ithen had the idea of using
the studio at the Ellen terry building and producinga format show.
One of the modules over the course of this degree that Ithoroughly
enjoyed the most was definitely the format modules; I had an ideaof
creating a 30 minute music chart show and myself as the main
presenter aswell as a co-host. I was planning on designing the
entire studio and evenbringing in performers to perform on the
show. I attended tutorials to meetwith my tutor and my tutor asked
a question that sparked the idea of thisdocumentary Why dont you do
your FMP on something your passionateabout? because many people
were doing their own work it lead me to theidea of producing a
documentary of somebody I am passionate about. In the

beginning I had confirmed to myself I would do it on Beyonce but
what aboutBeyonce? And this is where the idea of trying to find her
steamed from. Ithought it would be quite interesting entertaining
to film a documentary onmyself travelling around places trying to
meet her.
It did not take me long to discover the title of my documentary
I personallythink with the title of my documentary it was very
simple and straight forwardand says what it is My Journey to
finding Beyonce after I had found the title Ihad a very good idea
of travelling to New York and filming there to findBeyonce. My
original idea was to travel around London then travel to NewYork,
looking back on the original idea I do wish I had stuck with this
idea notonly would the idea been great and entertaining but also
that it would havebeen very experimental and I would have grown
more as a media productionstudent. I also believe that the original
idea would have been a kick start tomy career in many ways;
unfortunately I am disappointed that due to planningearlier and
money it stopped me from moving forward with this project.Looking
back on what I have done compared to my new updated idea, I
amdisappointed that I had the opportunity to proceed with this
trip. I was toldabout the university funding through my tutor and
came across the for CGEfunding
https://students.coventry.ac.uk/CGE/Pages/Home.aspx I called in
tofind out more information and I was told that the university
would happilyfund me with this trip however I would have to book
the ticket to New Yorkand show proof of my flight ticket then the
university will repay me back themoney I used to book the flight
ticket. At that moment in time what stoppedme proceeding with this
was I did not have the funds to book the ticket alsothe fact of I
wouldnt have been able to pay for my crews ticket and at thispoint
I had to change my idea and base it in London. I think changing my
ideain London was very limited because at the moment Beyonce is not
in Londonon tour or attending any events especially the fact that
she does not live inthe UK, I had to update my idea to travelling
around London to ask the publicabout Beyonce and where she could be
I thought it would be humorous ayoung girl trying to find Beyonce
in London.

I had planned to get t shirts customised and made for myself to
wear whilstdocumenting this project which did not go to plan,
interviewing the owner ofColumbia records as he has worked with
Beyonce before and also featured inher own documentary and so I
assumed it would in fact good for him tofeature in my
documentary.
EvaluationOver the course of this module I have grown as a
student and as anindividual. When I first received this assignment
brief my mind had blown onmany things to do preferably at the fact
that I had the opportunity to produceanything in media form that I
wanted was an exciting moment. I knew fromthe beginning that I
wanted to produce a documentary that was my firstmove.
I am a little disappointed that I had so many plans towards this
project andalthough I still managed to get my message across to the
audience I am onmy journey to finding Beyonce however due to many
circumstances I wasunable to create the documentary I had dreamed
of, when I knew that I couldnot film in New York I eventually had
to change my plan and start filming fastand make the most of
London.
After filming and editing my documentary I was worried about how
it wouldturn out to be or even if the audience would be wowed by
the trailer, the factthat I could not travel to New York drags me
down and worries me all becauseI had a vision of how I wanted this
documentary to be.
Another problem that I was not satisfied about was filming
inside the o2 Arenabecause my plans to New York, Columbia Records,
Park Wood Entertainmentrecords had not gone to plan and the obvious
not finding Beyonce I knew theleast I good be satisfied was if I
had film in the o2 only because she hasperformed there many times
over the last decade. I had a great vision of how

I wanted filming in the o2 to be, because now I know what I
could have donein the next part of the documentary I will start
proceeding with permissionpermits many months before. For example
now that I know it takes very hardwork, persistently and time I
know to begin from now to continue in part twoof the documentary.
Due to the many things that did not go to plan I had toadd a to be
continued and plan part two reason being I cannot create
adocumentary about trying to find Beyonce and not find her or even
at least getclose to her.
The next part of the documentary will be the last part of the
project because Iwill not have a deadline to meet and I can take my
time in planning andgetting permission from places and this time
round I will be making sure thatI meet Beyonce. I am happy with my
documentary ending because it makesyou feel excited and want to
know what is going to happen next.

producing and documenting on one of the most iconic woman of
ourgeneration Beyonc Giselle Knowles Carter. As a Beyonc fan many
friendsand family around me fail to understand why I admire her so
much and howand what it takes to be a Beyonc fan and creating a
documentary will bevery interesting to others around me and for the
Beyhive (Beyonc fans).What makes my idea New is according to my
research there has not been aBeyonc fan that has created a
documentary about her as an idol and hersuccessful career and most
importantly the Beyhive. I strongly believe manypeople will be
interested in my new idea because there has not been a fanaticthat
has based their time effort and work on the Queen B herself,
Thousandsof Beyonc fans but how many have produced and featured a
documentary onher?.
My Idea is slowly developing from the foundation of when I first
thought of thetopic idea.

Emailing Matthew Knowles (Beyoncs Father) I am yet to hear from
MrKnowles.
Current stage; I am currently preparing to begin filming however
I am yet tosort out things such as individuals that are profitable
to be in this filming,Sorting out and focusing on the crew i.e.
camera man, sound etc..
Also how far can I get with this documentary? Will I ever get
that chance anddream to finally meet Beyonc? Where will this
documentary take me? I amyet to develop these requests I have for
myself.
I have numerous influences that have inspired me to take on this
opportunity;the most important thing about doing this project is
focusing on somethingyour passionate and love doing.
Stylistics
I am aiming for a film documentary style I want the cameras to
follow me inall places from when I intend to exit my house to
meeting fans andinterviewing individuals to her record labels.
I want this documentary to have a showy flashy fast pace look
reason being Iwant the documentary to look exciting and emotive. It
is almost impossible toactually meet Beyonc herself however if I do
manage to meet her I do hopefor that part of the documentary to be
truly emotional and intimate since it issomething thousands of
Beyonc fans strive to do and finally meeting youridol will be very
emotional.

After my documentary I would like the audience to feel excited
andunderstand the BeyHive I would also like the audience to be left
with a cliffhanger, I highly doubt I will meet Beyonc at this
moment in time sotherefore I hope to leave the audience on the edge
of their seats wondering ifI will ever meet Beyonc? This is
definitely exciting for me too.
I believe nothing has inspired me more than Beyonc herself on
this project,reason being this project is about producing something
you yourself arepassionate about its also about enjoying it. Robby
Novak is an actor that goesby the name of Kid President and suffers
from osteogenesis imperfecta he gotthe chance to meet Beyonc and
that inspires me to achieve the goal ofmeeting Beyonc.
Evidence hunting I will be roaming far and wide because I am
aiming to go toSony records and Columbia records which is in west
and central London. Aswell as that I will be involving the Beehive
in this documentary, although Ihave contacted them through Facebook
they all obviously live universallytherefore I will be travelling
to them to film but I am yet to decide where Iwill be filming I
have a vision of how I want my documentary film to look likeso I
definitely would not want my filming on a random street I am
striving forthis documentary to look professional.
I am currently in the process of casting I have at present hired
my editor aprofessional editor for the reason that my editing
techniques are not up toprofessional standard.
My Location list so far;
Columbia Records 7 Derry St, London, England I am currently in
theprocess of getting permission to film in attendance

Impact
I have a very high expectation of the impact of my project, Im
hoping thisdocumentary film project will get in the hands of big
production companiesand television channels for example my
documentary would be appropriate forChannel 4 or BBC Three. I also
want my project to be so deeply impacted inthe most positive way
that it comes across Beyonc herself.
Subsequently I would prefer my documentary to be promoted via
Twitter,Facebook many social network sites I want the documentary
to be such a bigimpact on the audience it spreads and leaves a
message to everybodyespecially Beyonc fans. Promoting my project to
production companies wouldbe a start however I will still be
promoting on twitter as well only for thereason news and promotion
on twitter spreads faster and universally Peoplecome to Twitter to
connect and engage with their interests. Twitter alsocreates an
opportunities for businesses to engage with their customersthrough
more personal interactions.
I also believe that once I produce this documentary I will leave
a positiveimpact on a lot of fans not only Beyonc fans but other
music artists I amconfident that fans of Beyonc and other musician
fans will then begin tocreate some sort of artefact for their idol.
I hope that my documentary film issuch a positive impact on the
audience I get the chance for my project to beon BBC Three. I have
had a look at commissioning with the BBC

I strongly believe I am the correct person to make this project
since I am aBeyonc fan I believe to right to take control over this
project, also at the factthat as a media production student and
future TV Presenter/host I have alwayswanted to produce a
documentary about someone I love and adore and isstrongly
passionate about. I genuinely have a positive feeling about
thisdocumentary and with all the knowledge I know about Beyonc I am
definitelythe right person to produce this.
Conclusion
Overall my good points so far are my mind is full of so many
ideas which Imso excited about also at the fact that I am producing
this, I have a vision ofhow I want my project and to get it the way
I want I must be persistent workhard and focus. Truthfully the main
reason that is keeping me motivated tocreate this I could possibly
catch Beyoncs attention and finally get to meet

In my research I explored the internet researching women and
marriage Iestablished many different sources that derived. I had
many to choose from,as I was still deciding which source to delve
into It came across to myobservance that a Nigerian Author by the
name of chimamanda Ngozi Adichiefeminism speech. She was also
featured in Beyonces hit single Flawless. Thisbought me
anticipation not only since I had found a source but to find out
whatothers thought about her speech? And if they agreed with
it?
We teach girls to shrink themselves to make themselves smaller
we say togirls,You can have ambition but not too much you should
aim to be successful butnot too successfulotherwise you will
threaten the man. Because I am female I am expected toaspire to
marriage I am expected to make my life choices always keeping
inmind that marriage is the most important now marriage can be a
source ofjoy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls
to aspire tomarriage and we dont teach boys the same?

In the first leg of my final year term I can admit that the
lecture by MezParker on Sex inspired me to produce this short
artefact.
There are many definitions that ordinate to the word sex However
I wasmore interested in sex and gender roles, Love battles,
Marriage an d manymore
I chose to discuss gender and sex with a few people and what
their thoughtswas about women living up to a certain standard for
men.
I find it strangely surprising how an unusual lecture about sex
has motivatedme to do a short clip about sex gender. I had no
intention on basing myoriginal idea on anything else. I had three
main ideas on what creativeartefacts I wanted to produce but my
first main original Idea was definitely
