Documentary Evaluation

To do my market square documentary I used final cut pro. I started my project by doing a pitch on what I would be doing for the documentary and following that after making some changes I began to create away to do my project. During the pre-production I used some similar techniques that I used in my animation assignment. I used story boards to know some of the angles and shots I wanted for the fountain. Then I began to write down questions and picked the ones I would use. After I had finished all the planning I started to do the production. I began by taking plenty shots of the fountain and I also recorded the clock chiming and the big wheel for some extra footage.

Assinment 5.3

Pre-production:
On the 26th January I had t o present my pitch for my documentary however I was ill so I did not so instead I E-mailed my work to my teacher.
After I started to do my portfolio for my pre-production I changed it from doing a documentary about the development to a documentary about the fountain. I thought that a documentary about the development would be a bit harder because I have not really been in Nottingham for long and do not know much about it but I was here for the construction of the fountain. Also during interviews with the public that many people might not know much about the construction or history themselves.

Production:
On the 16th February we began the production I was unsure on how and what to do so I struggled a bit at the beginning but got better as I progressed. Me and my partner we’re both unsure about asking the public so we kept shooting shots that we needed such as the fountain and the left lion statue. We only started to ask the public our questions when we worked with Fred.

Post-production
On the 23rd March after about a week of filming we began to edit our footage. After putting it on final cut-pro, going over what we had recorded and saving/capturing the footage we took what we needed and began to put it into a sequence I added titles of my questions that I asked the public onto some of the fountain footage, then it goes into the publics answers and finally a small slide show with pictures of the fountain and background music.
