Towards the End of Term- Powerpoint Planning

During our final lessons before breaking up for the summer holidays, myself and Josh Hammond produced a powerpoint presentation, explaining our progression stages towards our own documentary, reflecting what we had done and how we came about our topic, as well as converting our practise film to QuickTime, in order to upload this onto our blogs at a later stage, showing the development and experimentation stages towards creating our final documentary. Over the summer holidays, we will individually continue to research into our chosen topic, in order to understand our chosen area in more detail, as well as looking for inspiration, for instance on websites or potentially interviewing friends for their opinions, which could possibly be used within our documentary, as well as thinking and brainstorming new ideas that we will share as a group when we commence in September.

Above shows the PowerPoint presentation that was completed, providing useful information as to the stages needed to be completed in order to produce a successful documentary, conforming to typical conventions and replicate the mode of documentary film-making.

Storyboarding

Now that we have established our chosen theme for our documentary, as a group, we have begun planning and storyboarding our ideas onto paper, making note of topics we want to include within our documentary, as well as coforming to the typical elements of a documentary, e.g. interviews and archives. We have started to visualise the way in which we want our documentary to be presented and have also made note of relevant statistics and research which will ultimately be included within our final product.
