Budget
For our documentary we didn't have a budget as most of our equipment was borrowed from our school for free this was quite lucky for us. as to hire a professional camera would cost around £52.50 for only 3 days. it would work out cheaper to buy a camera and use it for longer then 3 days, as they cost around £200. for other equipment we used within our documentary, such as a tripod, we also borrowed this from our school free of charge. However to hire these normally would cost a little bit, a tripod to hire would cost £30 for only 3 days a cheaper option for this is to buy one from amazon for only £14. . thanks to our school we saved at least £270.50.

Issues of documentary
Accuracy
Accuracy means to be accurate which is to be precise. when making a documentary the director The has to be completely accurate that every thing they input in the documentary is either facts or true. For example you can not make a documeantary that hasn't got anything to do with facts because this will not be a documentary. to create a proper documentary you need to include true facts and it needs to have a good base of research of what it is going to be about. If your documentary has a one false fact it can change the way the audience see it and it can be biased and one sided which is not fair as it can create one side opinion and this cant be classed as a documentary. For example if you are filming a documentary about a current election and you favourites over one MP and only parse the good in that one MP and not in the other MP's running for election you are not only creating a false opinion on one side you are also showing a false fact . this could be crucial to the audience and any MP's running because it could effect there own opinion for the audience and it would be unfair to other MP's. If you want there film to be engaging and accurate as possible you should consider to use primary and secondary research skills.
Balance
When making a documentary the director should take in to consideration what the message is trying to be and how its being perceived and what a affect it has on the viewer. It should not be a bias for the reason if it was to be bias the documentary would not expand the viewers minds and make them think. Also to balance a documentary out is to have atleast two points to be fully explained and two interviews for each of them and then at the end, Summerise it all up and to fully state the purpose of the documentary to the audience.
Impartiality
When making a documentary you shouldn't be bias, you should share opinions and make it interesting by adding other facts and ideas to create a bit of a debate and an effect where it makes you think. The person should be outside of the two sides of the subject and just state the points and facts of the two sides also the person should be neutral to the subject.
Objectivity
When making a factual programme the person should Make a point and ask a interviewer questions which is normal. However the person should take in to consideration about the questions you ask to the interviewer and the facts that you state. You should be open minded and try and get the point that you are stating quickly and accurately.
Subjectivity
When making a factual film in is crucial to keep all your personal opinion and views out of it the documentary. The reason behind this is because that if you do get your personal views it can turn the whole film one sided and make it bias.
Opinion
When Producing a documentary a director should interview different people to get there opinions of a certain subject, but they should also get all different opinions good or bad this shows two sides of a story this could help to provide more ideas which can help bring the message of the film and to make it more clearer. When asking or stating a fact you should research into the subject and go in deep so that you can get a better viewpoint of a subject.This is a great way to make the audience to have a different viewpoint about the subject and come out with there own opinions.
Bias
A bias factual documentary is when the subjects are one sided for example the person does not explain or go in to detail of the other side of the subject or argument. this is classed as one sided opinion.
Representation
Representation is when you are stereotyping someone or a subject by either their Person/group or their culture, society, Objects and events. All these lists of points are what you can expand on.
