Learn everything you can about your documentary subject. Sometimes the story lines are obvious, sometimes not. Do a lot of digging and follow leads. This is where you put on your reporter hat. Gather facts and search for leads on interesting characters and story lines. the gems of your story are sometimes buried deep out of sight.
Pentingnya riset untuk sebuah film dokumenter adalah layaknya nyawa film itu sendiri. Film dokumenter adalah sebuah story telling dimana isinya adalah cerita tentang perubahan/moving on.
How About Your Project?
Who is the protagonist/hero/heroine?

Every film, especially a documentary, has a 'value'. This could be social, political, historical, philosophical, artistic or of some other kind. The amount of research a scriptwriter puts in is directly related to the 'value' of the film.
