D2: Justify the creation process against the original concept documentation
BRIEF: Documentary (up to 5 minutes long), produce a a
short documentary featuring interviews with a range of artists that are
exhibiting at the East London Urban Film Festival it will show the breadth of
culture and creativity within the area.
The audio-visual promo that I decided to do was to make a documentary, that was up to 5 minutes long. The brief outlined that 'the documentary should feature interviews with a range of artists that are exhibiting at the East London Urban Film Festival that will show the breadth of culture and creativity within the area'. I feel like I have achieved this because I managed to interview 3 members of the cast and crew, this is where I asked them questions about the input they had in the making of the film.
I interviewed the cinematographer, scriptwriter, an editor, actor and actress. I asked different questions depending on the individual as it depended on their role and how they felt. The reason why I did this is because it then gives the audience an insight on the cast and crew members opinions on the effort they put in the film and how they felt of the final outcome.
I believe I have met and understood the brief, this is because I was able to meet the conventions of a documentary, by including interviews, archived footage and editing to put them all together and allow the documentary to make sense. When it came interviewing the members of the team, they were talking about some shots and particular things, this would have been hard for audiences that haven't watched the film, therefore the archived footage/ cutaways came in handy as it allowed the audience to see what they were talking about along with the voiceover of them talking about it.
In in the interview I asked the casts questions about the role they had when making the film 'The Boggart' & how they all came together to produce the final outcome. I only interviewed 3 members; the cinematographer/writer, actor/editor & actress. They all gave their insights on their experiences on making the film and how they believe it showed the culture and creativity for the film festival. They spoke about the editing, the locations they filmed in, the costumes the actors were wearing and the inspiration of the film.
When the interviewee was first introduced I decided to add their names and their role in making the film in a title sequence, although they already introduced themselves verbally, I just felt like it was more professional to do so, just to make it fit more in to a documentary / interview conventions, cause the audience may have missed out on hearing so.
After editing, I watched over it, to see if theres any quick edits I can add or anything I think I might have missed. As I was watching it, I felt like something was missing throughout the whole documentary, as I was feeling it. I then realised that I needed to have a soundtrack playing in the background, at a low volume of course, so the audience can hear the interviewees speak. After ages of looking the right one, I think I managed to get a good one that flowed well with the documentary interviews and footage. Before adding it to my documentary, I made sure that it was copyrighted / royalty free and also credited at the end of my documentary.
