We got this research in are interviews with some record companies and musicians, the knowledge we got from the research allowed us to set up certain parts of the documentary. We also needed to know how the industry was making money if the albums sells was down, this was done by asking record companies again because they have other means of getting money, such as merch and live shows.
Secondary Research Needed:
The secondary research that we needed was what people downloaded and if they did it illegally, To get this information, a questionnaire was made and was past out to 30 people, we then got the information we needed.

The narrative structure for the documentary has an beginning, in which we have an introduction to what it is that we will be talking about and it shows the audience what happens when you illegally download, it also has a powerful voice over which gives the audience some questions and how they would feel if it happened to them. the middle, which is the main chuck of information allows us to give the audience the information they needed and it has the opinion of musicians and people from record companies, this is the strong part of the documentary because it is the make or break moment in the documentary. the end, in which we try to end it with a one line finisher, one line that will make people think about what they are about to watch and what they have watched.
