  • Uses mathematical methods to analyse data
  • Aims to achieve objective/scientific view of the subject
  • Involves understanding human behaviour and the reasons behind it.

TRIANGULATION

Why was it produced?

RESEARCH PLAN

TRAILER

Step one is to identify the possible research sources you can utilise to help inspire your ideas.

Use the research plan guide on eStudy to help you identify possibilitoes and usefulness of different sources.

Scenario: You have been scouted to be brought onto the pre-production team of the second series of Generation Kill by HBO/BBC. To get approved for the job you are required to submit a script for the opening sequence of the series setting up the scenario and characters.

The second series will focus primarily of a group of four British soldiers stationed in central Baghdad shortly after the elimination of Saddam Hussein. They are currently stationed in Baghdad and are responsible for escorting military and non-military personal along Route Irish. To effectively tell this story you will need to conduct thorough research to enable you to write the script.

Watch the trailer and analyse what tone and content the series contains.

  • Route Irish
  • The Iraq War
  • Modern Warfare

Once you've gathered some sources from the library systems you can also look online for relevant sources you can use to inform your narrative.
