LO4 - Rushes

LO4.1



LO4.2

 In this documentary we followed the same conventions that all documentaries use. All documentaries uses fact and figure which is what we also did for our documentary. All the information for our documentary is checked so that all the facts that are mentioned are 100 percent truthful so that nobody can get offended. When presenting the documentary we followed how others are presented and spoke to the camera to make it as direct as possible. We used natural light to film at the location of where Beverley Allitt is being held currently. This is due to the entirety of the documentary being filmed outside so using any types of artificial lighting would be impractical as it wouldn't do anything. Also there will be panoramic shots which are found in many documentaries to break up the talking and make it more engaging. In this documentary we will follow the conventions that others follow such as using images of the victims as well as images of the places that are to do with the documentary. We also used location for deciding what would be an appropriate location to film that had something to do with Beverly Allitt. We did this by scoping the location first and settled on a place that was covered by trees to block the wind out so that the microphone could pick up what we was saying. 

We used many different types of techniques when editing this documentary. The first thing that was added to the documentary was the title screen as that is what every documentary has. The title screen will set the stage for what the whole documentary is about and gives the audience an idea of what will happen in it. As well as showing people what it is about it also allows for a clean transition into the bulk of the documentary. Smooth transitions can be used throughout the documentary to make sure that there is a flow to it and not just clips cut together. Also when editing our documentary, we will edit in images and videos when appropriate so that the audience can have images of the victims meaning they do not need to imagine it. It also will break up the talking scenes so that it isn't all the same. It will also show the audience who doesn't know Beverley Allitt, who she is and what she looks like. This would make the the audience engage more with the documentary as they have something to see.

LO4.3
The auto manual focus will be used in the documentary to ensure that the topic remains in focus at all times and that the emphasis does not shift to something else, such as a tree. We'll utilise several accessories such as microphones to ensure that the camera can hear everything the subject says, as well as a wind sock to reduce the impact of the wind on the audio. A tripod will be another accessory that we will use to keep the camera level while filming. The third piece of equipment we could employ is different sorts of lighting if we're filming in a low-light environment or at night.

LO1 - Camera equipment

    The ISO has been altered in these photographs to generate light and dark images, which will aid us in filming our documentary because if the sun is too bright, we can lower it so that less light passes through the lens. Also, if we are filming at night, we can increase the ISO to allow more light to get through the lens, resulting in a much brighter video. For our documentary we needed to focus on the ISO and Aperture on the camera as well as this would mean that the subject in the documentary is clearly visible as we would not be letting too much light into our camera which is what would have happened if we had not checked and changed the settings. When changing location we then also had to change the ISO and aperture due to the sun being at a different angle so the camera was letting too much light into the camera. In these videos it shows that we know how to manipulate the settings to get the desired affect on the camera. It also shows how we can use the attachments in ...

LO3 - Be able to plan and record for cinematic quality

LO3.1 When at the mental institute we will change the ISO to make sure that the lighting is perfect in the documentary. We will not be using any lighting as the natural lighting will be bright enough so that the audience will be able to see the subject with the hospital in the background. If the lighting is too dark however, we will increase the aperture so that the light going into the lenses is enough and the subject isn't over exposed. This will drastically to change the lighting and improve the quality of a camera footage for our documentary. Which will make it easier and better for the audience to watch it as it will be in a good quality. I will also change the aperture for a similar reason as if there is too much light going into the background. We will be taking a tripod as well as a microphone so that the camera is stable when it is recording. The microphone will be used so that we won't need to use the inbuilt microphone and the external microphone will have better cov...
