Research&Planning:Treatment

The Illuminatum will contain main themes like conspiracy and mystery, there will also be sub themes including thriller and myth/fantasy. It will be situated in the NEW academy school, present time. Within the documentary, a brief explanation is given about the subject to give the audience an understanding/ This will continue into interview style questions where the narrator of the documentary asks questions, receiving different views and concepts of the subject. An experts opinion is then given to give a more in-depth description of how subliminal messages are used within content such as music videos.

The documentary includes a narrator with brief knowledge on the subject, coveting to learn more about the illuminati. In order to do this he goes out to find out how broad this subject is, discovering new aspects and detailed explanations from intellectual sources. As information is received the audience will discover new things and more secrets will be revealed from interviews and conversations with higher officials from organizations that are linked with the Illuminati i.e. Freemasons.

The style of this documentary will be expository, with the narrator acting as an authoritive figure speaking directly to the viewer. So as a whole the documentary, the documentary will be looking into the conspiracy theory that is The Illuminati, exploring the hidden secrets that have been kept away for many years by an elite cult that includes only selected members.

The target audience for this will have a large range, with young people ages between 15-21 targeted with the current music videos included in the documentary and towards the older generation with the use of questions and facts given, with the conspiracy effect being likened by a wide range of audiences with its sense of curiosity and excitement.

Research & Planning: Time Line

Research & Planning: Illuminati History

This is the history the Illuminati never taught. This is history Illuminati researchers must know.

The group of enlightened ones formed in 1776 in Bavaria. It's founder Adam Weishaupt believed in evolving man to perfection. His mission entailed the dismantling of all governments and religion. Weishaupt would stop at nothing to achieve this but in his words...

"The end justifies the means."

Those means were an infamous list of prerequisites known as the goals of the Illuminati.

Weishaupt would need all of these aligned in order to achieve world domination and enlightenment.

Weishaupt funded his endeavor by recruiting high ranking, wealthy officials into the Order. The Illuminati began expanding and soon had a stronghold in Germany.

Its internal hierarchy was driven by occult secrets said to exist in the higher rankings. Once promoted, a member would become enlightened with knowledge.

Weishaupt blended his cult into the society of Freemasonry out of paranoia of being dismantled by the governments he wanted to infiltrate.

It would secure it's presence in the future and spread influence to America. In 1785, his writings were intercepted by the Bavarian government and the Illuminati was denounced and some even say dismantled. Skeptics will usually point to this as why the Illuminati never transcended into the next generation. This is far from the truth.

He and his ideas fled to France and would help to trigger the French Revolution.

Eventually many in the field of Freemasonry grew suspicious of a possible infiltration.

That's when John Robinson (a Freemason and physicist) wrote the book titled Proof of a Conspiracy shortly after being approached by an Illuminati member.

The year was 1798 in Illuminati history and the group was thought to have been destroyed 12 years prior.

Reverend G. W. Snyder sent this book to George Washington to hear his thoughts.

Washington wrote a letter back explaining...

"It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am."

This letter can be found in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC and even more shocking Illuminati quotes can be found on this website.

George Washington himself was a well-known 33rd degree mason but no school textbook will ever mention the history only Illuminati are aware of.

There are families (generally 17) that are still in charge of society today through many fronts. High level government officials, CEO’s of major multinational conglomerate corporations, heads of colleges, many religious leaders, military generals, titans of industry are all chosen and put in place by the specific design of Illuminati members.

These 17 families include:

1. Astor

2. Bundy

3. Collins

4. DuPont

5. Freeman

6. Kennedy

7. Li (Chinese)

8. Onassis

9. Rockefeller

10. Rothschild

11. Russell

12. Van Duyn

13. Merovingian (European Bloodlines)

14. Reynolds

15. Disney

16. Krupp

17. McDonald

Research & Planning: Roles

I will assign roles to all the members of the team so everyone knows what they are doing, and the workload is shared, I will make sure people carrying out roles know exactly what they need to do to carry out to be successful in this role.
The director will have overall say on what is finalized. Me and Josh will take the role of Co-Director, and generate most of the ideas to be discussed with the director to put in our documentary.  We will have a presenter and when the presenter isn't on screen and explanation is needed, the presenter will also narrate the documentary. Me and Josh will also take the role of camera men and also expert on illuminati, so when one o us star within he film the other will record.


Roles:

Director- Mathew Blackham
Presenter/ Narrator- Faraz
Co-Director/Cameraman/ Expert- Josh
Co-Director/Cameraman/ Expert- Naz

Research and Planning: Questionnaire and feedback

I have created a questionnaire relying on feedback to tell me what age groups, sex are interested in documentaries and what they like to be included in documentaries and what puts them off documentaries. This questionnaire will help me know what to include within my documentary. This is the feedback I got:

This feedback shows me that the age group 17-18 are interested for facts and figures to be included within documentaries and that they are quite interested in current events, this could due to the reason they are maturing and becoming adults and are now concerned about current events. As well as this the majority are also interested in documentaries that include wildlife and popular presenters, this is shown by the documentaries such as Bear Grylls and Frozen Planet that they have already watched, I feel this is because that the is a sense of danger and unpredictability. When it comes to what I should not ideally include are factors such as making the documentary too opinionated, don't make it too long and keep the topic interesting.

Research & Planning: Music

My documentary is on the illuminati this will be a conspiracy based documentary therefore the music should be mysterious and have a sense of darkness.


This theme music is very dark and dreary and if in a film it would leave you on the edge of your seat, I feel this could add effect to our conspiracy as it suits the mysterious element behind our documentary about the illuminati. It could draw the audience in as the music get more and more intense which is very good when catching the full attention of the audience.

Research & Planning: Archived Footage

This is the analysed version of 'Rihanna-Umberella' this video shows reasons why the illuminati is involved  within this video, and also the aspects of devil worshipping, due to hidden symbols, and messages. This can be integrated within our documentary if we get permission off the owner.

Return of Team Member

My previous team member who briefly left has know again returned and has now joined me, Mathew and Faraz as a group of 4 and has been briefed and updated with our advances in the project.

Research & Planning: Running Order

The running order will demonstrate a experimental order off sequences within my documentary.

It will start off-

-Black screen
-Introduction of documentaries
-Illuminati related people, symbols, object will flash on screen
-A black screen with the the word 'ILLUMINATI' in bold letter
-Interviews
-Show archived footage
-Discuss interviews
-Illuminati expert views
-Conclude the documentary

This Week

I will have 3 key targets to work on:

• I will chose the Music that will go with the documentary, I will analyze the music an say what I like about it and why I will chose this piece of music. 

• I will experiment with a running order and try sequence together how my documentary will be structured and viewed. 

• I will also try find Archived footage that I could include within my documentary. 

Research & Planning: Documentary Film

This is a Film/documentary trailer, I find that the way the actual content is structured together as a documentary could prove useful when filming my trailer. At the start of this video it introduces what the program is going to be about, he is narrator of the video but is also starring in the film/documentary, I could use this in my documentary. When he introduces the documentary there is a shot of what the documentary is going to be based on, I could use this by putting a visual of the words 'ILLUMINATI' and the pictures that are linked with the illuminati.
Within this documentary film there is archived footage which I could use in my documentary as archived footage is external intelligence on the subject in hand which I would integrate in my documentary.

Research & Planning: Our Final Idea

We discussed as a newly formed group (Me, Matthew, Faraz) about our previous ideas and we chose a subject that suited our strengths and interests that we all agreed on. This could have been a tricky subject due to the alliance made by us as we were separate groups with different ideas so as I joined Matthew and Faraz's group they could have not wanted me to have any decision in there idea stage and just work on there chosen idea. So the discussion proved very useful as it integrated both of our ideas and how we were going to structure the documentary when it came to filming the actual piece.
