Unit 27: Factual Production Diary

4/11/13

Today we received our assignment brief, to get the assignment under-way I began by creating a schedule of when I would finish each criteria, I used this so I could manage my time well, giving me plenty of time to work on the actual production of my programme

11/11/13

We gave a rough basic idea of what we could possibly base our factuals on, I decided on a factual based on the bikers and skaters who congregate in stockton town, I wanted to find out peoples opinions on them and whether something should be put in place so they can practice in a safe environment

Me, Ryan and  Shemar went out to interview the people of stockton for our docs, while out my idea changed from being about bikers to re-discover stockton, this was due to an interview we did which ended up being a rant by a local. After this my question changed from "is there a problem with bikers in stockton" to "what are your views on the re-discover stockton project", this produced much better interviews and would make an all round better doc.

I began putting my documentary together, this included creaating a title sequence in after effects and putting my interviews into a timeline

As part of my assignment I had to produce a soundtrack and a voice over, my soundtrack was completed but the recording equipment was faulty and so I couldnt record my voice over

14/01/14

Today i was able to record my voice over, after putting this into my doc Kelly my lecturer recommended I record a concluding voice over to close off my doc, so that is what I did, after doing this and putting it intoi my doc I was ready to export and burn my documentary to a disc
