Documentary Plan

Here is a brief plan of our documentary.

Opening Scene:
The first shot will be the presenter giving the audience an incite to what the documentary will be about and sort of things they can expect to see.

Second Scene:
The second shot will contain either a voice over or moving footage of the presenter talking about the history and why the illuminati was created. Here we may include archive footage of the creaters of the order and maps showing exactly were the order was created.

Third Scene:
We have decided that in the middle of our documentary we shoiuld include an interview(s) these would be with academics and the public so we can get both takes on the illuminati.

Music That Could Be Used

As my documentary is based on the Illuminati, i believe it need to be dark or mysterious. The music used could be from any era (baroque to modern) and any language.


This music would be great to use in an Illuminati documentary as its dark and written in Latin, this music ties in with the Illuminati as it was written around the same time the Illuminate was created.

The History of The Illuminati


The first Illuminati group was created in May 1776 in Bavaria by Adam Weishaupt.
The idea of this group was to rid Europe of Monarchy and State religions, this would be done using spies and counter-spies in European Countries.
 The early Illuminati contained fee-thinkers such as poets, scientists and teachers, a spring off the Enlightenment which seems to have similarities with the Freemason's.

Who are they?
There are several groups that take the name Illuminati, but the one we will be focusing on is the group bound in secrecy and conspiracy theories. This group allegedly masterminds the world through Governments and corporations to create a new world order. The Illuminati have been accused of causing the French Revolution (1789-1799 and the Reign of Terror (1793-1794)


Modern Illuminati 
 Several groups have now started as the "heirs" of the 18th Century organisation, they all use the name Illuminati or some form of Variation.


Myron Coureval Fagan was an American writer, producer and director who devoted his later years in finding evidence into international conspiracy theories such as the assassination of J.F. Kennedy, Battle Of Waterloo, The French Revolution and Communism in the New World.


Music Industry  
There has been accusations of Music Artists and Composers being part of the Illuminati, early composers such as Ludwig Beethoven and Wolfgang Mozart. Mozart's "Magic flute" opera is one of the most  questioned piece of music in history. 







This phrase appears in Mozart's Magic flute and critics have claimed that this mimics a Freemason's initiation ceremony and the knock to enter. Mozart's music could be used in my documentary as all the evidence links him to the Freemason/Illuminati groups.   



Pop artists such as Jay-Z have been question about being a member of the Illuminati due to his lyric choices and videos.


Rhianna has been questioned in the last few years due to her video for S&M, in this song she calls herself "The Princess Of The Illuminati"  
This video is linked with the Illuminati due to the use of symbolism and lyrics, supposedly Rhianna uses hidden images that can only be seen when her videos are slowed down or rewound.

Return of Josh

After a few weeks Josh(member of the group that left) decided to carry on doing media, instead of splitting in to our original groups, we thought it would be easier for the four of to work as one team. We chose this decision as we had already started planning our documentary.

Use Of Music in Documentaries

Music is used in documentaries to portray the mood of characters in a documentary. Each genre of documentaries use different types of music. For example in BBC documentaries there will not be any lyrics or popular music, instead there will only be instrumental or synthetic sound, in most of their documentaries classical composers such as Mozart's Requiem or Beethoven's Fur Elise.


In Conspiracy Documentaries the use of music is slightly different. Depending on the subject of the conspiracy means certain music should be used. In Illuminati conspiracies music such as Rap and Artists that are related to Illuminati will be used. The Illuminati is a mysterious subject to talk about so the music must be the same.
