The approach of your documentary is usually dictated by the broadcasters/funding agents, so your treatment has to be engaging to an audience. It is a good idea to have some background research, and even some preliminary interviews so the stakeholders can get an idea of what the topic of your documentary is and what shape it’ll take.

Make sure to make it engaging, but also useful for your production.
