For my project, since I hope that the content of my video can close to the life and would not be so boring, and people who watched my video would have reflection, I would decide the content of the video after referring some real cases in the reality and then doing some modifications. Paget (1990) said "Productions which mix drama and documentary in this way are known as 'drama documentary', 'documentary drama', 'dramadoc', 'docu-drama', 'faction' and 'true stories'." (Nicholas & Price, 1998, p132). According to Lipkin(2011), docudramas are based on real stories and recreate actual people and events. Therefore, docudrama is a suitable genre for my project.
"Docudrama is not a kind or type of story, but rather a means of representation, a way of offering argument about the past. The work of re-creating actual people and events suggests that it makes more sense to view docudrama as a mode of storytelling, rather than a singular story genre." (Lipkin, 2011, p.2).
