Assignment 3: proposal
3mw proposal
In my 3mw
documentary I would like to focus a lot on the visual side of the documentary,
creating a good idea for the viewer what great Yarmouth is like and looking at
the history of the town, what it used to be like.
Part of my
idea for the documentary is also to shoot in both night and day around the
town, to show the comparison between the two. I believe doing this will show a
vast difference between night and day which is why I want to do this.
I also want
to look into the history of Great Yarmouth and show what it used to be like,
then use this as a comparison to what Great Yarmouth looks like in 2016.
I am looking
to create more of an observational documentary with some but not much dialogue.
The focus is more on filming and editing to create an effective video.
My idea is
to document the town of great Yarmouth during both night and day and create a
visual comparison between the two to show the difference between both times.
The second idea I had is to research into and document the history of the town.
In researching the history of the town I will conduct interviews with people to
discuss the history of the town and talk about the changes the town has made in
recent years as well as further back in history.
My documentary
will be more of an observational format and will fall into the special interest
genre. The target audience for my documentary will be pretty much anyone.
The aim of
the documentary is to show a comparison between different times of the day in the
town and also to document the history of the town. My plan is to document the
towns history in chronological order to show the history of the town as it
happened to some extent.
In terms of
locations for filming, I am looking to film in a few locations in great
Yarmouth. Firstly, I want to film in the town centre both night and day, and
then film along the seafront also both night and day. I will not need to travel
far to get to these locations which makes filming a lot easier for me.
As far as
other people’s involvement in the documentary, I will need maybe around two to
three people to take part to be interviewed for the video. In the interview I
will mainly ask about the history of the town which will help me to document
the history of the town with more detail. Also I feel interviewing people will
help add more dialogue to the video and more talking, as without this the video
would have very little dialogue which is not what I am aiming for.
In terms of
filming and crew I shouldn’t need anyone else to help with filming as the
filming process should be very straight forward. I have my own camera but may
need other equipment before I film such as a tripod and a microphone to capture
the sound with more clarity. This is all the equipment I should need before
filming. My main focus in the film is the visual comparison between night and
day of the town. I am more focused on the visual element of the video in
general as opposed to the audio side as I am not planning to add much dialogue
aside from interviews.
Assignment 3: Research
3MW research
For my 3-minute wonder style documentary I am going to make an observational style documentary which will focus on the history of great Yarmouth and I also plan to show a comparison between night and day of the town.
For my video I want to interview some people who live in the town and get their opinions on the town currently and its history. My main focus for the documentary is to look at the history of the town and show the changes the town has made over the years.
A direct comparison between Great Yarmouth from the late 19th century to now shows a massive difference as you would expect, this is something I want to include in my documentary and I also want to include stills to display the changes that the town has made over time. The photos below show the changes Great Yarmouth seafront has made from the early 20th century to now and this is the idea I want to incorporate into my documentary.
As far as documenting the difference between night and day, my idea for this came from my interest in seeing the comparison. This is an idea that I have seen used in other people work and I found it interesting when seeing the comparison between the same place at different times and that it shows a different side to the same place. In my documentary I want to film in daytime certain areas of Great Yarmouth and film the same areas during the night. I also have thought about the idea of creating a short time lapse video but I am not sure about whether I will be able to do this at the moment.
Assigment 2:TV Advert Analysis
TV advert analysis
The TV advert is for a new range of sure deodorant for men. The ad is being made to draw a new audience to the product and to appeal to a new crowd of people who will want to buy the product.
The advert is a stand-alone video with the intention to make people aware that this is the best product of its type on the market.
The style of the advert is humorous in the way that we tried to get the message across and appeal to the target audience we had in mind.
In filming we tried to vary our use of camera angles and use as many as we could when we filmed. In editing we also used stills and text on screen to display the new slogan at the end of the advert.
In the advert we tried to appeal to the target audience by creating a humorous and interesting style of advert which would hopefully draw the viewer in and convince them of this being the best product of its kind that you can get.
The advert follows AIDA in that we are trying to create interest from the viewer and promote action by giving the example of an athlete using the product in our advert.
Lighting wasn’t an issue when filming as the room we filmed in was already well lit. the problems that occurred were more in the capturing sound as the microphone we used for filming didn’t pick up the audio as well as we would have hoped. Also, another problem with the audio occurred when we began the editing process as we planned to use background music, but this slightly drowned out the audio of the dialogue in the film. Overall after changing the levels of the audio we got around this problem in the end.
We used various camera angles in the filming process which was mainly a mix of long shots, close ups and side view shots. We also took a still shot of the product we rebranded to use at the end of the advert. In the still shot of the advert we also added text on screen which was the new slogan for the product.
As our advert was based around sports and our target audience being mainly athletes we decided to shoot the advert in the changing rooms at college. We also dressed as athletes to create the impression more of who this product is best for. Creating the feel of a sports setting as much as we could in the video was important for us especially for us to appeal to the target audience.
When editing the video, it was important to make sure there were no problems with continuity and also was important to make sure the audio was clear enough after adding background music. Also, when editing we had to cut certain parts of filming from the video as the video would have been too long with all shots included. Fortunately, after cutting certain shots from the film it didn’t affect the continuity in the advert. We didn’t add any sounds effects to the video so all the audio, aside from the background music, is what we captured when filming which is all dialogue.
