Documentary script

Since the invention of the telephone in 1870 the way we communicate with each other is constantly changing. More and more devices are being developed allowing people to socially interact with each other all around the world. The most common of communicating now a days is through social networking sites, these play a crucial part in many peoples everyday lives.

At Weatherhead High School, E-learning has been established to help monitor the use of social networking by its pupils for their safety. At Weatherhead its E-learning coordinator Jules Arnold who undergoes procedures in order to keep students out of danger.
Mobile phones are increasingly being used for social networking. Many phones have apps built in to help people connect on the go. This is most used by teenagers and young people, as they’re the majority age group that use social networking sites.

Fans can keep up to date with bands and singers by looking at their page on social networking sites. Artists such as Justin Bieber and Esmee denters have used sites such as YouTube to escalate to fame. Local Wirral band Daywalker are also trying to do this to boost their career.

A major example of things being posted is the London Riots in August 2011.
Blackberry messenger was used to post riot meetings, to cause further violence and destruction to cities nationwide. Many people were arrested for helping organise the riots. We spoke to the chief of Merseyside Police who had to help combat the riots in Toxteth and other parts of Liverpool.

Interview with Jules Arnold

Today we filmed are biggest interview wiht Jules Arnold whom is a e-learing mentor within Weatherhead High School. We came in, in our day off . We then chose a place within the school were there was as little noise as possible. We set up the camera and mise en scene. After filming we then uploaded our footage and checked for a number of things such as lighting and sound.

Interview with Barry

Today we interviewed Barry Waring who is part of a local well known band 'Daywalker' . We went to his flat which has a sound studio within it therefore giving us a effective mise en scene.

Codes and Conventions of a print advert

There is one main image which is eye-catching and strong, the image also creates a narrative.
Channel 4 logo is always on the right hand side, preferably in the middle so it doesn't get in the way of image.
. Red, white or black used for logo's.
. Colour from title links in with logo or part of image.
. Title has block behind it to stand out and spans halfway across the image.
. Either placed on top or bottom left of advert and contains the schedule in smaller font.
. Published in lower class working papers.
. Can be either landscape or portrait.
. Minimal amount of words to avoid boredom.
. Positioning statement.
. Image must show insight into what the documentary is about.
. Slogan needs to be short and catchy.

Below are some examples from channel 4 that we looked at:





moblie phone documentary

In this lesson we where asked as a group to make a short documentary :

Whilst filming we also took this shots of us setting up and some cut aways.







From this task I feel i learnt alot within the making of a documentary. After looking back where would be a number of thigns i would change, firstly is the mise en scene during our interview that we did the background does not anchor at all as to what our product is about. The lighting also changed half way though and the sound levels from background noise was to high. However although i would change things it was my first time making a product like this and i am happy with the framing and questions asnwered.
