Storyboard basics

These pictures are a basic section of the storyboard that conveys what we are going to create in our documentary.

Abstract

This is an abstract shot that is a small portion of the ideas that, as a group, we are trying to create. Using unconventional shots such as this will add a sense of disbeleif to the documentary whilst hopefuly keeping the audience in suspense.

The Importance of Lighting

In a video that I have recently posted (8/12/09 13:35) we have used a dramatic form of lighting that is a convention of the documentary genre. We such lightining being used in interviews that are shedding light on a dark or tabooed subject, Crimewatch on BBC often use this technique of lighting to disguise a victim that does not want to be in the public eye, it is also regularly used in a series called the Whilstblower where it protects interviewees identities.

Using this simple and effective technique in our documentary will add dramatic effect as well as coinsideing with this style of documentaries conventions.

Initial Filming/Editing

This is a clip represents the style of documentary we are trying to create, this particular scene is dark and serious which is portrayed by the lighting used in the interview. At first we had a slight hold up in editing as the software has been updated from last year therefore we were unfamiliar with the new editing tools. The gruop is pleased with the outcome of this initail stage of filming and we have become more confident in using the new editing software, we have more ideas in the pipeline that will be filmed and edited very shortly.
