Editing our Documentary

Planning Our Newspaper Advert

This is our draft for our Newspaper Advert.

We thought this would be a good idea because the title is clear at the top with the slogan,date and time clear on the right hand side. Also using an image that relates to the title as we are planning on using a dog in its kennel (meaning his home). This can imply that the programme is about all the different pets people have in the home.

Evaluation 'ITS GOOD TO TALK'

Evaluation Of Our Mobile Phone Video!

As a class we showed our mobile phone videos and got feedback about good and bad points in our video.

Good points:

• Choice of music matched
• some good cut aways
• Handwork was steady
• interviewee was looking away not towards the camera
• the interviewee was in a medium shot
• the interviewer was not seen/heard

Bad points:

• had background noise during the interview
• the interviewee was not in the right place, she was in the centre instead of being to the left or right side of the shot.
• the mise en scene didnt communicate
• couldnt hear the interviewee's voice
• the sound was edited too much
• needed to use a tripod at times such as in the cut aways
• during the interview have a varitey of camera angles
• the interview was filmed by a light source (window)

I have learnt a lot by doing this preliminary task as it has taught me, that little mistakes can easliy happen. I have also learnt that planning is very important and to use your time wisely. Also to test out the interviwee yourself before making them do it, to make sure everything is ok.

When we do our main documentary we need to look out for the mistakes we made in our prelimary task which are, to make sure you use a tripod when interviewing, make sure the interviewee is either on the left or right side not looking at the camera, make sure during the interview there is no background noise as during our preliminary task there was a lot of noise. We also need to make sure that the mise en scene suits the genre as in our primlimary task the common room didnt communicate with mobile phones. We also need to watch that our backing track isnt too loud and need to watch we dont edit it too much as it was very jumpy.

Documentary Genre

Codes and Conventions of Documentaries
The purpose of a documentary is to document to report with evidence something that has actually happened. It can show this by using actuality footage, or reconstructions. It can use a narrator’s voice over to anchor the meaning or rely on the participants themselves with perhaps occasional comments from an unseen narrator.

Fly on the wall (verite) - appear as truthful as possible.
Current affairs (topicality) – look at a news item. Both radio and TV use documentaries in their scheduling.
They are important to the target audiences. Audience’s research is vital.
Documentaries have different styles...

Different techniques
Observation – pretend the camera work is unseen.
Interview – don’t look at the camera
Mise en scene
Narrative Dramatic conflict Exposition – line of argument. What is it saying?
Fully narrated -Off-screen voice over (“voice of god”)
Mixed combine interviews, narration, observation and found footage
Vox pops – street interviews with general public – same questions
Beginning – catch the audience’s attention with dramatic footage, middle – more detail and conflict, end – resolve the exposition.
