Research
I used Microsoft Word to compose the questionnaire in order to find out what would attract my target audience to my documentary. I also used it to write up the running order for my documentary.
Microsoft Excel was used to create the graphs of the results from the audience feedback, so that the group could see clearly what things we might need to include in our programme.
In class we used a DVD player to watch and analyse three different documentaries, helping us recognise that nothing is done by accident when filming a documentary and it also helped us to put new terminology into place.
Whilst at home I analysed a further two documentaries using a television to continue gaining insight into different methods of making them.
I also used a mobile phone to video some our audience feedback.
Planning
When planning I watched multiple different videos once we had decided on the topic for our documentary in order to look at different ways of producing a documentary on graffiti.I used lots of different websites to find suitable archive material for the programme and also to find out some history about the topic.
Production
A digital camera was used throughout the prodcution of our programme for various different things. These included:
- Taking pictures of archive material
- Taking still images of graffiti
- Taking pictures of each other filming
The video camera was the most important piece of equipement used. It was used to film all of our interviews, establishing shots, shots of graffiti and chromakey background. We were as creative as possible when using the camera in order to make the programme interesting.
We used Adobe Premier Pro in the editing stages of our programme to delete anything we didn't need and to also make it look professional.
Adobe Audition was used for the creation of our radio trailer for our documentary.
Adobe Photoshop was used for the creation of our print advert which would appear in a newspaper to advertise our documentary.
