Main Production Review


Production Group:

I have chosen to work independently.


Chosen Production Task:

I will produce a 5 minute extract from an original documentary.


Consideration For Two Ancillary Tasks Required:

I have chosen to produce a double-paged spread from a listing magazine based on my documentary and a newspaper advertisement for my documentary.


Finalised Ideas So Far:

So far, I have decided that the subject of my documentary is going to be my good friend Alex Curtis. This is because I think he has a great personality and is quite the character and so I thought it would be interesting to follow him (or an exaggerated version of him) for a day, as sort of a 'day in the life' feature.

I had the idea of making the day an important one in order to add some sort of structure to the documentary. Then I decided that the day the 'film crew' will follow Alex will be the same day on which he will make a special announcement to the people of Ware (or his adoring fans as his character will refer to them as).


Work Produced So Far:

Over the summer holidays, I did manage to film a few short shots of the town of Ware (where my documentary will be set) and also a few including Alex. However, I intend to re-film these, as after I had converted them on my laptop, the video quality of the clips was drastically decreased.

I have also been working on a script for the voice over of the production but also on what Alex is going to say during each scene. I have chosen not to write Alex himself a full script, as I want it to feel and look natural, not as if he has simply learnt his lines and filmed them. I want my documentary to look professional and the more comfortable Alex looks, the better.
