Audience feedback

Overall the feedback was with a mixed opinion some people thought it was great others not so much. The audience feedback we received was ok but it showed that we need to make a few changes to our documentary to make it Our audience feedback suggests that we need to improve our documentary by elaborating on our points because in our documentary we said some good points but we never really emphasised on them. also our audience feedback suggests that in the future we need to pick better locations which are quiet because that way the audio will be heard more clearly. we need to be careful when using the camera because in the documentary the| camera went a bit bent. also the feedback suggests that we need to add transitions to help make our documentary flow.

in the near future we will act on some of these suggestions and improve our documentary to make it better and more professional. we will improve our camera angles, choice of locations and we will add transitions to make it flow.

Our Location Pictures




Risk assessment for our Documentary

Our video will be made in areas around the school because of this we need to be extra careful in what we do because we need to be careful because there are alot of people around and it is a public place . To avoid any accidents we need to walk around slowly and responsibly so we do not come in the way of people and cause problems and accidents. also we need to film at certain time so we can avoid having any accidents. we need to film at certain times because most of the time in the areas that we want to film in are very busy and packed full with students every where so we need to be careful and probably film in lesson time when there is no one around making it a nice and quiet without worrying about causing any accidents 

Locations

The Locations that we have chosen to film our documentary are mrs thomes office. we filmed there because that is where mrs thomes is more likely to be. another location that we chose to film our documentary was outside the restaurant by the stair case. we chose to film there because it had a sofa which looked and it seemed to look like the perfect setting at the time. another location we chose to film our documentary was outside the cafe. we chose to film there because it looked like a good area to film making it look  ideal. also we filmed there because it was quiet.  Another location we used in our documentary was outside the gym, we filmed there because it had a good seating area and seemed the perfect place to film because it was quiet.

Planning

The people that we are going to interview in our documentary are: and we are going to interview these people because mrs thomes is our expert witness and gift, warda and Sabina are students n 16+so it seemed relevant to us to interview them.

  • Gift 
  • Warda 
  • Sabina 
  • Mrs Thomes

Evaluation

1. Anthony and me worked well in our group we all had our jobs to do and we did them without arguing or complaining about it.  for example we did not argue about our documentary idea, we chose something we both agreed on and wanted to do and we made our documentary based upon that. also we did not have any problems because we did not fight and argue we just got on with the task of making our documentary.


2. The difficulties that we had making our documentary were that we could not come up with a good documentary idea because most of our ideas either weren't good enough to make the documentary or we did not have any witnesses to back our documentary up for example we wanted to the the london riots we could not do that because we needed a witness who was actually in the riots . We eventually came up with a good documentary idea with a bit of help from Mr Ayres 

3. Our documentary uses forms of conventions of real media products because or documentary is based on a true story and it is factual which a lot of professional documentaries are. also we had interviews and we used a expert witness which most professional documentaries use.

4. From our audience feedback we have received over 100 views so far which is good because we  thought that we would get much less than that and we thought our documentary would not do as-well as it has . also we have recieved one like so far which shows that our audience likes our documentary and thinks that it is good.

5 We used adobe premier pro which we used to make and construct our documentary and put all of our clips together. we also used a video camera to film all of our documentary.
