Voice Over

0 Voice Over (Billy Camden)

Name: Andy Popperwell
Gender: Male
Reason why we chose Andy: In order for our documentary to fit into the typical conventions of a documentary, we chose to use a well spoken male of speaks standard english. A well spoken male who speaks standard english is vital to a documentary so that the audience can clearly understand what the voice over is saying and the message that the documentary is trying to put across. Andy also has a strong voice where he puts intonation and stress on key points of the script, this allows the audience to listen to the key parts of the documentary and know what sections of the documentary are most important.

0 Update: week 9 (Reiss Ramsay)

All the footage has been log and captured and the editor has begun to edit the footage. The software which is being used to edit the documentary is Final Cut pro. After cutting the shots and putting footage onto the timeline we realised we needed more cutaways.

The cameraman and director went out again to film cutaways and the new cutaways have been uploaded. The group still needs to record the voiceover for the documentary, which should be recorded this week. 

At a later stage the voiceover and music will be added to the documentary.

0 Location notes (Emma Jolly)

Location shots included shots in which both our interviews were held an our cutaway's were filmed.

Location shots:

Havering classroom- Both Toby marshall and Bert Jones interviews were filmed in classrooms, both sat with a plain background and were held as more formal meetings.


Local Internet shop- A local Internet owener was interviewed in his own shop, the backdrop being that of his own computer and him himself being in front of his desk. We felt this was more of an informal interview and therefore his surrounding suited this.

Boys Bedroom- Tommy camden was another informal interview, he was asked questions based upon his age and therefore as again the sorroundings of his interview were not all that of importance.

Living room- Semar Jolly a police officer was filmed in her own front roon, although we took this meeting as more formal and would have liked to have filmed at her local police station, we was unable to do so however the interview itself came out as planned.

Cutaways:

*Local Internet shop- Express the meaning of our interview.
*Local school- Filming of younger children and parents.
*Local police station- Cutaway with the more formal interviews.
*Child on computer- Meaning of documentary.

Name: Semar Jolly
Gender: Female

Age: 12

Reason to be interviewed: The reason why we want to interview Tommy is because we believe that it will be very interesting and beneficial to our documentary to receive the views of a child who uses a lot of technology in his everyday life. We found it very interesting to see how a young child feels when using social networking sites and whether he feels threatened or comfortable when using them.

0 Possible Broadcaster (Emmanuel Olobio)


The broadcaster in which our documentary could be aired through is BBC News night. The BBC offers a wide range of factual programs including documentaries. I feel our documentary would be best suited to the BBC’s family of channels as one of their aims is to “Offer more distinctive factual programming to audiences, ensuring that even more intellectually ambitious mind can be stimulated also”. BBC News night documentary style is similar to our documentary as my textual analysis shows. The BBC as a broadcaster is well respected and has gained the trust of viewers therefore our audience can trust the information provided in our documentary.  BBC 2 Broadcast a news night documentary daily, also they enable viewers to access hundreds of documentaries online through its website BBC iPlayer. This therefore would attract my target audience who use the internet on sites like iPlayer, you tube etc. iPlayer would allow viewers to access documentaries that are aired on channels like BBC2, and 4 at any time and then can watch a whole series of documentaries thus increasing the accessibility and convenience of our documentary not only on TV but also on the web.  Below is a screenshot of BBC iPlayer it is on the section of the site that shows all factual programs including documentaries like news night.

This is a copy of a call sheet that we have to fill in each time we take out a piece of equipment, the call sheet shows all details of where and what we are filming, plus specific details of how we get to the filming locations and other aspects to do with the filming part of our documentary.

0 Update: week 8 (Reiss Ramsay)

After log and capturing the footage on Final Cut Pro we noticed that the framing in the interview with teacher and parent Toby Marshall was not good. There was too much space above Toby's head as a result we are aiming to re-film the interview during the week.

Furthermore we need to film more cut aways to go in the documentary. We are going to film cutways of phone applications, mobile internet and a computer superstore.

This week we also began the editing process. We are using Final Cut Pro to edit the documentary. We have already log and captured the footage and started to edit some of the footage.
