Pre-Production - Script

Here is my script, I wrote it on Celtx and separated each part into segments. I did this to give my documentary some structure, so I didn't get mixed up when recording. It's important to have a script, so I know exactly what I'm going to do. Every major film production has some sort of scripting, therefore I needed to do my own in order to remain professional.

My script does not include my transitions and camera angles, I didn't include these on my script because I thought it would be unnecessary. Not to mention, I did this script mainly for reference, so I might not repeat everything word for word. 



MY UPDATED SCRIPT


WHAT CHANGED AND WHY

Soundtrack Changes: I decided to not use all I really want because I felt like it didn't fit the tone of the shots I had taken. It is a very festive track, and this documentary isn't very festive. I instead chose Lakey Inspired - Better Days because it was more fitting. I also decided to ditch Vaporwave Furret, because it's very lethargic tone didn't fit my ending. I instead used Lakey Inspired - Chill, because it's a lot more up beat. I also chose to add Groove Day, Homers Day, and Hyperfun because I thought adding more music would help with the flow of the documentary. 


Segment Changes: I made segment 5 into segment 2, because it went hand in hand with segment 1. I was discussing my own experience with content creation in the first segment, so it made sense for me to discuss how I implement regional identity into my content right after. I decided to make segment 3 into a more broad discussion about content creation in Sunderland, then transition into the segment where I make the video. Not to mention, I merged segment 4 and segment 6 because I moved segment 3. This meant I could analyse my results and conclude the documentary. 

Segments After Changes

Segment 1 - My Experience With Content Creation
Segment 2 - Do I Implement Regional Identity Into My Content
Segment 3 - Content Creators From Sunderland
Segment 4 - Making A Video In Sunderland
Segment 5 - Conclusion

Conclusion

By writing these scripts, I am making sure I am well prepared for production. My script will help me stay on track, and cover everything. I made two drafts of this script, because I decided that the first draft wasn't as focused on content creation as I would have liked. 

I want to make sure I have a solid understanding of what I'm going to say, so making these scripts will really help with that. Celtx is a really good program for creating scripts, because the layout is really professional. This is good for professional practice.

Research - Level 3 Technical Codes

Image
So, I have decided to research into technical codes, because it helps me grasp a better understanding of technical skill. By researching into different shot angles I am also developing my understanding of cinematography. Technical Codes CAMERA TERMINOLOGY Birds Eye View shot – a shot taken directly from above something, looking down on it (as though the camera was a bird flying over the scene). Canted Angle – A shot which is tilted to one side.  This is often used to create a feeling of disorientation, anxiety or chaos. Close up (and variations)  : close ups, including extreme, big and medium close ups, are used to draw the viewer closer and to involve them in what is happening; they also used to observe reactions and emotions, such is happiness, elation or tension.  These shots are often used to help the audience feel sympathy for that character or side with them.  Alternatively, a series of close ups / extreme close-ups often make the audience feel quite claustrop...

Research - My Audience Research and Audience Profile

Image
  My Audience Psychographics, Demographics and Social Grade Psychographics : My audience is most likely to mixture of mainstreamers and suceeders. This is because these are the types of people who are most likely to watch my product. Suceeders who want to create content, and mainstreamers who are interested in Sunderland and what's going on. The creators may be influenced by what I make and may feel inspired to make their own documentary. A lot of creators like to be unique so learning about what content creation is like in their local area may help them to integrate their local identity into their creations. I think the realistic educational feel will appeal to mainstreamers because I think they will be interested to learn about content creation in the local area. Although content creation might not be popular amongst mainstreamers, they still watch and consume content so they could still be interested to see what life is like for their favourite creators. Mainstreamers are the mo...
