Pre-Production: Logistic Aspects (Contributor Release, Personnel List, Resource List, Shooting Schedule)

 After completing location scouting and release forms I filled out a personnel list. I filled this out so that I knew who would be (or would hopefully be) in my product and also a form of contact so that I would be able to contact them throughout the production if I needed to.



After completing the personnel list I completed contributor release forms. These are required to ensure that I have the actors permission to film them and use the footage in the final product- as without their permission I would not be able to have them be in the documentary and would have had to find someone else- or shorten the documentary to exclude their scenes.



I also had to complete a resource list. This was so I knew what resources and equipment I would need to film the documentary. I also needed to state where I would get these resources from and if I had obtained them yet- which in some cases I will be obtaining them on the day of filming.


To ensure that I and the crew would know when I planned to film each scene- I created a shooting schedule that laid out the dates that each scene would be shot. This is important so that we can at least attempt to follow a planned out schedule for each scene. I also created an alternative shooting schedule- as a backup so that if a scene were not able to be filmed that day I would be able to film it another day and still stick to a planned timing.

Audience Research

 For this campaign I conducted audience research so that I was certain on who my target audience for this documentary was. This was important as I needed to know who I was making this documentary for- the client- but also who would be watching it- as if the target audience was 26 and above- it would be pointless to create a documentary for an audience under the age of 26. To conduct this research I created a Google Form and sent it out to the people in my class and the members of a group I take part in- and I collated that research into an audience profile- so that it was easier to read the statistics and facts. Once I had collected this research- I collated the information into an audience profile.

Generations Final Cut and Evaluation

Image
 After screening the first cut of my documentary to a small focus group and receiving feedback about what I could change, I began changing those parts of the documentary in editing to finalize the documentary. I shortened the intro of the documentary and changed the fonts of the title screen and credits. I also lowered the volume of the music that was underneath a few of the clips so that it was not too loud. Once I had done this I exported the final cut and uploaded it to YouTube.  I then wrote an evaluation, explaining what I did throughout the project and why. This was so that I could explain my ideas and thoughts throughout the production of this project.

Innovative Technology Research

Different Equipment Phones Over the years of technological advancements- many new ways of filming have been created. We can use our phones to film regular footage- alongside slow motion footage and time lapses. Many present day cameras are unable to film this type of footage without the aid of editing software. Phones were a recent development- especially phones with cameras that could film slow-motion and time lapses. Recently- with newer phones- time lapses and slow motion videos are higher quality- rather than older phones with not much technological capabilities. Many phones now have these capabilities- which makes filming footage easier even if you do not have a camera. Phones recently are much more able to be used as devices to capture footage. Pros and Cons: With phone cameras- there are a lot of things you can accomplish- such as slow motion and time lapse. Some phones have the ability to zoom in quite close to far away objects- and also allow you to change the brightness a...
