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.

Different types of Ducomentarys

There are Five Different types of Documentarys:

1. Poetic documentaries
2. Expository documentaries
3. Observational documentaries
4. Participatory documentaries
5. Reflexive documentaries

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.

Codes and conventions of a documentry

The codes and conventions in media can be separated into 3 distinct groups -
- Technical (camera techniques & shots),
- Symbolic (ie clothing, colors)
- Written and audio (music etc).

What are conventions?
Conventions are the generally accepted ways of doing something. There are general conventions in any medium, such as the use of interviewee quotes in a print article, but conventions are also genre specific.

Narrative Structure:
Single strand or true story
 

Camerawork:
Varied shot types and movement to keep the audience interested
Stationary camera (tripod)
Handheld camerawork is used for actuality footage where necessary
Establishing shots used
Pan and zoom are used when filming still images – slow zoom
Interviews: close up or medium close up is conventional. Big close up or extreme close up can be used
Eyeline roughly 1/3 way down screen
Framed to left or right of screen

Mise en scene:
If chroma key is used it shouldn’t detract from the interview
The mise en scene is carefully constructed

Sound:
Always a voiceover – holds the narrative together, standard English, usually calm and clear delivery. Gender and age is sometimes relevant depending on the topic.
Interviews – no background noise, so audience can clearly hear what is being said

Archive material:
Still images require camera movement to keep the audience interested in the documentary
There is a variety of relevant material: newspapers, photographs, website, video footage.


Graphics:
Used to translate were necessary
Title – Title is unique
Credits – usually scrolling off screen and all archive material is credited
Name and relevance to subject or role of interviewees – usually two lines.
