Running Order

This lesson we created a running order for the 30 minute slot that our documentary should fill. The running order is a list of content upon which we wish to include in our documentary,as well as in what order and for how long each section should take in the documentary. Details of the running order and also a copy of it is shown on the BrainShark embedded below:

Secondary Research- Scheduling Interviews

During the process of making our documentary we have had to arrange interviews, before going to our interviews we had to think about the mise-en-scene and see if it was relevant. If the mise-en-scene wasnt relevant, then props had to be taken to the interview venue or use more cutaways to reinforce the brand of the persons occupation or to relate it to tea This is a Glogster showing our attempts at scheduling interviews and who we interviewed in the end:

Primary Research For Documentary

Before starting the filming of the documentary, research had to be collected which can help give us facts, numbers, dates that are important in the development of tea and this can help make the documentary both informative and enjoyable. The Brainshark underneath shows what research, and archive material was collected before the filming started:

Content For Documentary

In todays lesson we had to create a brainstorm containing information we wished to stick in our documentary. The information was found off numerous websites and sources, all of which are listed in "research for documentary post" From doing this we found out interesting facts such as: 90% of tea drank is black tea and the tea importation increased in 1750 when cane sugar became readily available. The rest of the brainstorm and information is presented in a Glogster presentation:

Formal Proposal For Documentary

During this lesson we had to come up with a formal proposal for the documentary: This is supposed to show the name of the documentary, the channel it will be aired, the target audience etc. I presented the formal proposal in the form of a SlideShare below:

Questionnaire Results

There is also audio and video which gives the answers to some of the questions:

This is a copy of our questionnaire that we gave to 30 members of our target audience:

Initial Plans

This is a SlideRocket that shows our initial plans for our documentary:

Final Idea

These ideas and the final idea is shown below in a SlideShare presentation:

Thought Shower Of Ideas

This lesson we had to come up with possible ideas for a documentary. The image below shows a thought shower of ideas that I drew from the ideas we came up with as a class.

TV Scheduling

This is a sliderocket i made on the topic of TV Scheduling and the definitions of what happens in the schedule

Preliminary Task - Evaluation.

This is a Glogster that I made which highlights what was good with our preliminary task and what could be improved.

Preliminary Task- Production&Editing

This is the preliminary task video which we made, on the topic of mobile phones

We set up the camera on the tripod in our media room thinking that it would be a good mise en scene for the interview due to the fact that it is on technology.
I then filmed the interview and Lauren sat to the left of the camera and asked the questions. This was to make sure that the eyeline was not to the camera.
After we filmed the interview we then took the camera up to the common room and filmed Olivia and Kathryn using their mobiles, this was to then be used as a cutaway to slot between two questions
This SlideShare shows the editing process of the preliminary task:

This is the final video which we made:

Preliminary Task- Planning

In todays lesson we got given our preliminary task of creating a short documentary about mobile phones. We were to conduct an interview with a peer about mobile phones, we were to include appropriate cutaways and we also had to edited out the questions asked.

The rest of the details are shown below in a Glogster format
