“3 Minute Wonder is a documentary shorts strand that follows Channel 4 News on weekdays. It provides an opportunity for directors who have not previously worked for Channel 4, directors who wish to cross genres and first time directors and assistant producers.
The scheme is open to anyone with clever and intriguing stories that have a new and surprising way of reflecting who we are today. Films should be engaging and inventive in form and can be about any subject, but must be suitable for pre-watershed transmission.
For a chance to stretch your creative legs and experiment with short-form docs as an entry-level filmmaker, FourDocs should be your first port of call: and there are numerous case studies of FourDoccers progressing to produce for the 3MW broadcast slot.”
All of the highlighted words and phrases within this criteria statement point out why this style documentary is relevant to me. When doing my product research of different documentary styles I found that I was drawn to a range of styles and i think the experimental nature of 3minute wonders would allow me to play around with styles. The fact that you do not have to be a skilled film maker with finacial backing made this a perfect option to me as a student with limited resources.
