Existing project research

Tiger King

From watching Tiger King I think it is a poetic documentary or possibly expository. The reason for this is because I suppose it is up to the viewer to find their own interpretation or opinion on it but it could also be expository since it is a retelling of events that happened to Joe Exotic and Carol Baskin and the big cats that they kept.



Blackfish

I believe Blackfish is also and expository documentary as it tells the story of Tilikum the killer whale and what he did but also a deep dive into the mistreatment of these animals that are held captive in enclosures that are much too small for a creature of their size.



Miss Americana

This one is slightly more observational, it takes a look at Taylor Swift and what her life is like and there are a lot of clips of her writing and recording music along with a collaboration that she recorded with another well known musician. 



BLACKPINK THE MOVIE

This documentary is about the popular K-pop group, Blackpink. It includes interviews and concert footage which could possibly make it a performative documentary since they are the main focus and there is a big theme which is their career over the past five years.

After this I added in the audio recordings and put them over the clips I filmed that didn't have me already talking in them. I cut out the parts where I misspoke and where there were large gaps, I also used the split tool for this. After this I added in captions that said the questions that I was answering to make it less confusing and so there is a clear understanding of what I am talking about. I used the add text tool for this. Finally I went on Bensound and downloaded two songs that I liked and felt went well with the mood of my documentary.  Tuesday 12th April 2022 For the final day of editing I added an introduction screen with the title of my documentary and my name followed by a brief explanation on what my documentary...

Pre-production forms

Location Scouting The location scouting sheet is the first form to fill out and this is to look at and evaluate the location to make sure that it is suitable for what will be filmed there. In this case it is my house and so it was relatively easy to list parking areas and so on. Location Release The location release is the next form to be filled out and signed, the purpose is to get permission to film in this location and can be used as proof that permission was given if any issues arise. Contributor Release The contributors form is to get official permission from anyone who may be contributing to the filming process whether it be actors or people helping out with lighting etc. It also outlines things that the contributors need to be aware of such as the fact that parts are likely to be cut in the editing process and that the final product will be up online.  Resource List The resource list is more so for organisation purposes, it is to list all of the equipment that will be ...
