The Docu-series Episodes

 My group and I came to a mutual agreement on the structure and episodes for our project. In order to do this we incorporated some research to influence our decision making.  The first thing we did is check various streaming services to see different docuseries related to our topic. On the services Netflix and Disney+ we payed attention to the amount of episodes and the titles they used within the series. One of the examples we looked at was On Pointe, it related to the topic of dance and was found on Disney + with a total of 6 episodes. Another show called We Speak Dance found on Netflix had 5 episodes. We noticed that the docuseries did not have a lot of episodes but just enough. We continued to research some more college sport related shows and here is what we discovered: Cheer on Netflix has 6 episodes and Last Chance U had nearly 8 episodes in each season. Most of the examples we looked at were in the range of 5-8 episodes. In conclusion, this helped our group make our decision on our structure; we wanted to have a similar balance as some of the examples we described, but we also wanted it to be different in our own way. We chose to focus on a different college dance team in every episode within our dance themed docuseries. We thought this approach would be an engaging way to entertain and inform our audience about what dancers in college and what their experience is like. Down below I listed the college dance teams we researched and chose as the best fit for our production.
