Screen Shot Photos To Be Included In Docmentary

Photos Of iconic Images Associated with Adams Life:

Below is the images we choose and constructed in a collage to present factors of Adams life to re enforce what characters are saying in the documentary.For example the audience witness Stuart Rush(Adams brother) saying when they were born and when they were diagnosed with the disability.This piece of footage is then followed by still images of Adam as a baby and child which presents Adam as a vulnerable child that struggle and makes the audience have sympathy towards his case of issues.

Examples Of Adams Photograpghy And Art Work:

We wanted to present Adam as having a successful side to his life that consisted of art and photography as this would present hope and a future for him.We used examples of A section of A Level art and photography work.We scanned in the work and saved the images as JPEG files and then created collage's using Abobe Photoshop.The end result was successful with the addition of a white background the images have real presents working as a clip

The images included below are of Adam and Stuart ranging across a number of years prsent a timeline to the auience.

Double Page Spread - Planning - Construction

Double Page Spread For a TV Listing Magazine - Process Of Construction:

As part of are ancillary task we had to carry out two supplementary smaller tasks that aid and support the main moving image task.We choose to construct a Double page spread From a TV listing magazine and a radio edit advertisement to present are production to the audience in a consistent way using good continuity through using a strong house style through out, for example a consistent colour,font image scheme.The idea was to create two supporting tasks that would clearly be matched to are main documentary.

Success's ?

Below is are final constructed Double Page interpretation of a TV listing advertisement.We feel that the house style and genre used does a successful job of matching with the rest of are production.

Final Double Page Spread:




















When taking into consideration every element including research planning and making the product we created using still image software has been a major success.As you can see Adam Rush the main character With the disability.The main center image works well due to the fact Adam is holding a camera, the ideology behind this is Adam doesn't want the camera focusing on him.This sense is created through the emotion showed on Adam face of dismay also he's holding the camera at arms length.The colour and fonts used match themes from a documentary and match the channel 4 logo colours,the reason for this is that a consistent theme is constructed showing the audience all three products are linked.Channel 4 logo used through out to present the distributor.The actual content of information in a writing format is presented in a brief statement of intent.This works well for its purpose as it gives the aliquot amount of information but leaves questions un answered.

Alternative Image That May Have Been Used:

Below is two examples of other images that we could have potently used to presetn Adam in a still image format.There are reasons for why we didn't use each image.We wanted to Do a photo shot that had a range of different connotations to the audience.

The image above is presenting the ideology that Adam is avoiding looking at the camera with the addition of holding the camera at arms length,its presenting Adam as hiding away from his issues and that being part of this program is a struggle for him.


















This image is a slightly different version of the final image we used.The main ideology behind this image is different to alternative images we took.We looked at a different representation of presenting Adam as wanting people to look at him and see what he has to deal with.By him looking straight at the camera holding it at arms length it presents the idea that he's filming himself,presenting his issues to the audience.

Double Page Spread Template - Master Draft Before Final Edit:


Below is the final draft that we created before adding text..All the colours images remain the same in the final edit,just with the addition of Writing content.

Below is a example of using alternative Images with the original consistent house styles.We regarded this attempt as being suitable but doesn't produce the same ideology that the image of Adam face on.We faded out the image to try a different style with the image but found it wasn't suitable to tie in with are production theme.

In order to produce a double page spread the first thing we did was carried out planning of the types of layouts we thought would best represent Adam and are documentary.We deiced that a large image dominating the page was the best option.The image below is a flat plan temple of the standard elements that make up the double page spread.




















We did two other alternative colour changes with this double page spread,using red as a alternative but decided we wanted to keep the same colours throughout are production.





















Research Into Other Examples Of TV Listing Magazine Double Page Spreads :


Before we even started planning and constructing are own double page spread we first looked at other examples both from main stream TV listings such as TV now ,TV choice,we also looked at examples of Students Double page spreads.We we found was that the image plays a important part in any example of TV listing,as the image normal makes up the full back ground.



















These examples of existing media double page TV listing present the types of styles commonly shown through this style of advertisement.What we wanted to take from these example is the bold Tag line title,strong colour scheme,center image and tag lines used in various places on the page.

Tag lines used :

Adam A life in Anger

As if this life isn't hard enough

A insight to the life.

These were some of the tag lines we wanted to include.

Soundtracks For Docmentary

Sound Tracks On Choice:

Above is a Video clip With subtitles regarding the protental soundtracks of are choice. It has Links of the full songs will be in the descripition of the youtube video.

The video clip presents the protental and choosen soundtracks that we have decide to use for the documentary. We have selected them due to there instrumental values towards createing appiate feelings.The ones that link in with the diolog and sound correctly to fit with are docmentary.

Chosing the right soundtrack for are production was vital to are production,as with as product this is the case.During the clip we want to ephasis and build the emotions,this helps the audience on what you should be feeling in each section of the extract.

Media Title - Channel 4 Logo Creation ( Second Edition) - For Beginning Of Docmentary

Final Second Edit Edition Of Title Screen:

Above is the final progression from the first edit we carried out of a title screen.As shown on a previous posts this is the same concept of a title screen but with developed animation.After exporting are first edition version of the title screen we felt we wanted to change the animation involved to create more of a impact.

We re uploaded it into Abobe After Effects and removed the original over lapped animation and replaced it with a pre set animation,the animation we finally used was inspired by a commonly used animation in most Channel 4 title screen shots.

Media Title - Channel 4 Logo Creation - For Beginning Of Docmentary

Media Title Screen Construction - Channel 4 Logo:

One of are key reseach sources was channel 4 productions as they have fantasic examples of exisiting docuemntarys.Due to the amount we used channel 4 for examples we wanted to base are production around the idea that it was based on a channel 4 production type.Also having a realistic title logo screen at the start of the clips is a small factor that just brings the whole visal exspecance alive.For example with the start of Films a trade mark for any film is having the distrubers logo at the start of the film.

We carryed out a range of reseach and planning/testing to create a apprate theme of fonts colours etc.Below is every element of the construction of producing are opening title screen.We knew we wanted to produce are own example of a opening logo but using a influenetal distrubers name.

Colours And Fonts Used - Flat Plan Of Key Elements Of Logo Screen:

Below are the two main elements that make up the title screen.We tryed a altitive of two main colours which were green and orange.The reasons we tryed with this colours as accouding to channels 4 reseach into respesntion of disability in documentary these are to two colours to present this feeling within a media product.

Adam A Life In Anger Title:

Theses are the two examples of are title in the two key colours.We finally choose Orange as a consistant theme.

Here is the examples of the master Channel 4 logo and title font that we constructer through the software of Abobe Photoshop.We used the orginal channel 4 fonts and logos as a referance but we re created the shapes on Abobe photoshop.We created the two key elements on a white back ground as this allowed us to put the JPEG format file into Abobe after effects to over lap a animation to enhance the theme that you would exspect to see in existing docuemntary.

Below is the example of the whole title screen constructed using the theme of green.We wanted to enhance the size of the 4 logo in a reconisable style.

This is the final cut of the 3D animation for a title squence to present are documentary and show the channel for logo.We think it is successful due to the animation involed that brings it to life instead on a flat still image.

Reseach Into Channels That Display These Types Of Documentarys

A2 Documentary Powerpoint Summarise

The PowerPoint above is a a progression of all the combined elements that we have gathered and talks on the whole about every element of are production.The purpose of this PowerPoint is to summarise all the key factors that we have addressed before we make are documentary.For example the PowerPoint looks at elements such at why we choose are brief?,research we carried out,sound and lighting,location and mis en scene,editing and filming and audience.

Story Board And Final Story Line

Storyline and story board in build up to creating moving image piece:


Once we had created a story idea we wanted to create a story board and above is are story board.We planned out step by step how we wanted the documentary to develop.We used elements from the example of other documentaries shown in are research.

The Neo Natzi documentary is a influence due the layout style and the way they construct there documentary we wanted to form a layout to fit are storyline idea.

The PowerPoint above is a 11 page original story board of what and the order of which we want to construct are documentary.

- Make as realistic as possible, combined personal experience,and emphasise the issue.
- Character that will be used is Adam Rush would suffers with Celabal Palsy ( a student in are six form center).One of the reason we want to take forward this idea is because the inspiration came from the fact my group partener for this project Stuart Rush is a twin and the story line fits effectively.

Alternative Story Lines - Ideas For Documentary

This video is a example of a drugs documentary that we looked at when thinking of the story line we wanted to use.

Planning for ideas and storyline we are thinking about creating:

After research looking at various different types of documentary,including different styles and aims and goals within them.We want wanted to put are ideas together and start thinking what we actually wanted to create.From the first look at the brief we had lots of ideas for the documentary so we had lots of choice.

Examples of types of genre within documentary that we were thinking of ?

- Drug use issues in the UK.
- Obesity
- Twins
- Disability,in regards to Celabal palsy
- Respect in today's youth towards parents

We had lots of idea that we looked over but in the end we had a clear idea of the type of product we wanted to aim towards.We were split between two ideas which were the 'drugs issues' and the ' disability ,Celabal Palsy'.Each idea is explained underneath giving more detail on the reasons surrounding the ideas.

Plans and Ideas for the Short extract for our documentary

First Idea for consideration ?
Drugs:
- Basic plot is based around Drugs related issues,looking into the pros and cons of drugs, a look into the subject of drug use.The way it effects peoples life's and the future issues with the issue and other issue related to this subject area.

- The type of content would include action shots such as Clips of drug use in a range of age groups but the main focus on adolescents.A range of shots building atmosphere of drugs,e.g. close up shots that involve only shots of the use, also including shots such as hiding the identity of user.

- Ideas originally through looking at existing examples,Closely linked to documentaries such as dispatches and BBC 3.
- The main goal would be to have a clear House style with codes and conventions which are easily recognised.As show in simpler other documentaries to induce information Voice overs will be included with a narrated sequence at stages.

Second Idea for consideration ?
Disability:
- Are main idea for are second idea is to Show the difficulties faced within society on one or more disabilities.Are main idea was to base this storyline on Celabal Palsy.

- Basic plot for this idea would be based on a individuals life.A charter that has a issues such as Celabal Palsy and following the life of that character.Showing the struggle for the character and their family,including home and outside environment shots.

- This idea also has clear links closely related to documentaries such as dispatches and Tourettes shown in are research.The goal is to Focus on a particular disability which is explored into more depth.
- Make as realistic as possible, combined personal experience,and emphasise the issue.
- As show in existing documentaries such as ' why are thin people not fat' include educational, fact/statistic.

After looking into both ideas in great depth the idea we have chosen to proceed with the second idea.As we feel we can fulfil this idea to its full potentl and include all the elements that we have stated which we might struggle to do with some of are ideas.

Are extract will use and challenge ideas in the media and have clears links to aspects that are recognised from the documentaries that are in my research. For example 'Neo Nazis', Truth about food and Why Thin People Not Fat?. The aspect that we want to include are factors such as camera angles used (the medium shots the interview each character, the long shots to establish situations and over the shoulder shots) and how the voice overs are edited into sequence of each clip, also transitions we included (fade to/from black).
