Research

I watched a Louis Theroux documentary on hypnosis and studied the way the documentary was shot and looked like. I evaluated all the camera angles and the techniques that where used to try and make our documentary look as professional as possible. A typical shot used was a hand held shot. This made it look as though they had just found someone they wanted to interview and quickly had to get footage of them. Another one was a hidden camera to try and get secret film. I am hoping to put some of the things I learned from watching the documentary to put into my documentary.

Story Board

Today I created a story board for our group. It shows the shots that we will be taking and what sound effects will be in the shot, what the image should look like etc. This will give us an idea on what to do when it comes to filming so it is all a lot more organized and not a sudden rush. This will then give us time to make it look a lot better and focus on small details to get it perfect. I will be posting what my storyboard looks like on my blog soon.

Change in Groups

The start of the new accedemic year has meant that some people have either left college or changed their minds. This has made a big change to most of the groups in our class. We have lost one member of our group now making it a pair. This has had a big impact so we now have to do a lot more work each and can make it harder for us.
