Documentaries in a nutshell?

Hey

Im new to documentaries and am very interested in starting a project but do not know where to begin. im guessing the beginning starts with in depth research if that is correct. how does the script writing process begin, and what is the preferred film 16mm, DV? Please help!
 
Go ahead and listen to this episode of Directors Notes. It's about the documentary Flowers Don’t Grow Here by Shira Pinson and in the interview she talks about how they made the film. Really informative and I think there're some good tips for making documentaries in general!
 
i have found an article or two so far, but nothing capable of an interesting storyline for in depth research to begin the process of the documentary. Any article suggestions, or stories i should follow? Where should i look for articles?
