King of laughter

This documentary tries to tell us about this man who has laughed his life because he thinks that laughing helps him to survive and it keeps you strong through hardship. although the whole video the man was laughing over anything. i think that documentary is trying tell us that we could live life with being serious and have laugh about everything which will keep us stress free.

General feedback on our documentary

Many people said our documentary was good but still it could be improved. One person said he/she didn’t like the documentary at all but if that person said didn’t enjoy it maybe that person learnt something from it or maybe he/she didn’t learnt nothing from it. Maybe that person’s not interested on watching these kinds of documentaries. But most people said they would change few things about our documentary. I think it’s because they found few things incorrect and they thought we could change it in many different ways.
Most people from our class rated our documentary 5 out of 5, but some people rated it 4. I honestly think no one will watch our documentary more than once neither would I. everyone from our class give some positive and good feedbacks and how our documentary was overall. If our documentary changes people thought about anorexia and inform people how bad losing weight is.

Mise En Scene

Mise En Scene Includes:

• Effects
• Props
• Make-up
• Clothing
• Back Drops
• Room setting 

The Mise en scene for this documentary would not be set, for example all the clothes and props will already be there because we will be filming in a natural setting. People who will be in the video will do the make-up. The effects of the video will be people walking while we are editing we are going to fast-forward the clip and we will be showing it in our documentary. The room settings, we will be making sure that the area is suitable for our shooting.
Backdrops will be used if needed and if we need it in our video. All make up will be natural because it is suitable for our documentary that we are doing.
The room lighting is also being important because we want the lighting to be factual so it's appropriate for our documentary.

The Mise en scene for this documentary wont be set in any particular way, we are going do this documentary because our documentary is based on anorexia and the props will be ready where we will be shooting, so we don't need a lot of props.

Moodboard

Plenary

As a group we all tried to help little year 8 with their plan for the documentary their going to film. In my group i was telling them what documentary is and how it works?
I was telling my group about my documentary plan how i did mine because i thought it might be helpful for them to know about someone else's work. i think its a great idea to talk about your own work to others because it helps you to be more confident about what you are doing and others to understand more about documentary.


Then i had to move to another group and that group was doing totally different work then the previous group. they were thinking about doing a documentary about racism. They all came out with some brilliant ideas, which is really good and it was good for me too because i have learnt so much from them.

What is observatinal ocumentarys?

Emphasizing the documentary filmmaker's arrangement in observing the subject's daily life and circumstances and documenting them with an unremarkable camera.

For example:                                                                                                               By conserving the observational mode, the director allowed the subject to forget the presence of the camera and behave more naturally, thereby letting the audience get a better sense of how she really feels about having such an unusual abundance of facial hair.
