The choices that I have made for my production have being made to engage the audience to connect with the documentary, by connecting them through the use of  props, places, lighting and equipment. These have being chosen for the production so it will make it easier for the audience to understand the story of the documentary, this makes the documentary more effective to the audience and engaging.
