Title Sequence Storyboards

Today I completed the final title sequence storyboard, the one which we intend to use in the documentary. The Brainshark below gives details of the storyboards that have been created:

Planning: Test Shots For Lancashire Tea

Today we went and got test shots at Lancashire tea, for our interview. We did this to see whether we needed to take a light with us. These are some of our test shots presented in a SlideRocket:

Planning- Framing Interviews

During this course, we learnt how to frame the interviews, for example, by using the rule of thirds and where the eyeline should be directed to and where the camera and the interviewer and the interviewee should be positioned. Whilst planning our documentary I drew out storyboards of how the interviews should be framed and how the mise-en-scene will be relevant to the documentary. The interview storyboards are explained and presented in the form of a Glogster below:

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:
