Initial plans for documentary


We have decided as a group of initial plans for our documentary. The topic for our documentary will be Tattoos. We decided that the name ‘Think before you Ink’ would be a clever interpretation on people considering receiving tattoos. Our documentary will be targeted at both genders and will appeal to an age of 18+ as the legal age for a tattoo is 18. The documentary will be shown on Channel 4 and will appear at 9 o’clock on a Monday evening.

Media mini task documentary






Evaluation

In class we were asked to create a mini documentary about phones as part of a primarily task. In this documentary we had to have an interview with someone we knew and ask them questions about phones for example, what kind of phone do you own? We also had to include 13 cut shots to go in between the questions we asked the interviewee so we didn’t have ‘jump cuts’.

We asked our classmates to evaluate our documentary so we knew what things worked and what things we would need to improve on for our main task documentary. Here is the evaluation given to us by our classmates.

-Our cut shots were weak and didn’t flow properly as it should have done.

-Our music didn’t run to the end of the interview.

-Our mise-en-scene didn’t really fit well with the interview and we were trying too hard to try to make it fit.

-Our cut shots were shaky and didn’t look professional.

-The interview itself was too long and quite boring by the end of it.

-Half way through, our interviewee held up a piece of paper which distracted the audience and looked unprofessional.

However the class also told us what well in our documentary. They said that our framing for our interview was correct and that the music worked well however it was too short. They also said that our cut shots worked well as they related to the topic.
