How would you start off a documentary?

maybe with some images or a video clip of what you are trying to prove....or it could be something neutral, or related with what you are doing the documentary about..... For example, if it were about global warming, you could film some heavy traffic or smoke stacks or melting glaciers, etc....good luck.

I agree with the poster above, try to come up with an interesting fact about TJ, then weave that into your intro while at the same time introducing what's to come.  Try to pick a fact that you could use at the end to close and summarize in the same way.

or in front! doesn't matter :D\n\nI guess you meant what kind of professions are involved in this area, so there goes:\ngraphic artists, digital video producers, flash/html programmers, 3d modelling artists and programmers.\nIt really depends on the kind of multimedia you're lookign at.\nIf it's a documentary about something film making people are usually involved in too.

You could probably teach a class on film studies.

I did this:\n\nDon't use the names of the "background" people. Don't mention the names; don't show the names in the credits. Don't tell them what the documentary is, or when or where they can see it. That way they can't track you down.

start with the question \nwho is your best actor/actress\nwhich is the best film you propose not to miss./\n\nask them to write answers on a paper. advise them to hear your lesson first.\nthere after you 'll select the best entry submitted according to your taste and present them with a non fiction/book.likewise proceed .

Start with a story.  You needn't begin with your childhood.   As a matter of fact, you probably shouldn't.\n\nThink about this:\nIs there a particular historian (contemporary or otherwise) that has most influenced you?  Was there a class, or a research experience that really crystallized your ambition?  Did you ever visit a museum or archive that truly astonished or motivated you?  Is there a particular era, or geographical area, in which you are most interested?  How did you first come upon this era or area of study?  \n\nIf you start there, you should find it quite easy to continue.\n\nOne more point:\nDon't neglect to mention your METHODOLOGICAL influences or preferences.   It is awareness of / familiarity with methodology and methodological concerns in the study of history that will make your personal statement a strong one.
