When researching about similar documentaries to Cancer awareness: Lymphoma I looked at the documentary Journey though Lymphoma: Finding new horizons. The reason why I think that this is a good clip to post is because the way how they have filmed this documentary is by allowing Mark Rawles tell his story on is life and how it has effects his life with Lymphoma explaining that his is still the man that he was before he was diagnosed. I find this interesting at this was a similar way on how Cancer awareness: Lymphoma was going to be filmed with cut aways showing sense of Debbie's life (Main character).

Proposal
Hello fellow internet users.
In the documentary Cancer awareness: Lymphoma there ail, be five different categories, the style, format, genre, target audience and the intended aim.
The style of the documentary Cancer awareness: Lymphoma will be an expository documentary as it will be sharing a woman's story on her life with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and how she dealt with her big life change. The documentary will also be exposing footage of the 10K Bupa run. This footage will be shown in-between the woman's life story to show the audience that there are many things out there that you can do to help patients like this woman and others out there with Cancer. The documentary will also have an interview with a close relative on how they were feeling knowing that someone very close to them was going through a huge life change. For example this documentary will be using the same form of style that are used on the documentaries on Channel 4, this is to inform the audience on what is happening by giving them the facts to show them how serious cancer is and how they could save a persons life, for example Panorama, as they explore and expose their stories showing the audience what it is happening behind the scene's.
This documentary will be using similar format to the documentary Cancer the Forbidden Cure as this documentary starts of with an introduction to cancer giving it's audience the facts on how many people in todays world have been diagnosed with cancer and how cancer is developed in the human body, they do did by using a male voice over, this gives the audience the impression that they are being shown important information that could change your and a life around you. In Cancer awareness: Lymphoma, this documentary will be using a female voice over to give the audience a softer approach as the main story will also be based around a woman's life. The documentary will also have contents of intense interviews, this will be done by using close ups of the interviewees face to show the true emotion on how that her is feeling, this will cause the audience to feel sorry for the main character which will cause the audience want to donate to charity to help other people with the same cause.
The genre of this documentary will be educational and special interest, as the documentary will produce multiple facts on Lymphoma informing the audience how serious this type of cancer is and how it is the fifth most common cancer that is being diagnosed in the UK.

The age range that this documentary will be focusing on would be people from the ages of 15+ as this topic is very sensitive and will be able to explore the minds of young and the older generations to create emotion.
The intended aim for Cancer awareness: Lymphoma will be to create emotion to cause people to feel sensitive and upset about the story that is being told to create awareness for people to ring up and donate money for Lymphoma patients and the hospitals such as The Christie, which are special hospitals for patients that have cancer.

Lymphoma research and associations
Hello fello Internet users.
http://www.lymphomas.org.uk/about-lymphoma
This type of cancer has many support associations including the Lymphoma association. These associations have support groups and events running all around the world funding money to help the hospitals and the people with Lymphoma and other types of cancer.
Lymphoma is a type of cancer that can be developed in the Lymphatic system. There are two types of Lymphoma, there is Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma and Hodgkins Lymphoma. There is no particular reason on why someone is to have Lymphoma as it is very difficult, but it is a result of the change in the cell genes that you have in your body. This could be caused by a medical condition that a person might have that interfere within the immune system.
