Final cut

We have finally exported our final cut. However, our documentary was too long to upload in one part so we had to split the video up into two parts.

 

 

 

 



Magazine article

I experimented with Microsoft Publisher 2003 to create a magazine interview with 'Drew Taylor.' As part of our production we created album covers and one of the titles we came up with was 'Autumn Leaves' which Dan created. Here is a print screen of the document.

Here is a close of the writing: 

• I used different colour fonts to signify the answer to the questions and to make a distinction between who was speaking in the interview 

 Some photos I used: 

• I used her album cover photo as the article is supposed to promote the album in the way the documentary does. The article also promotes her as a product in a similar way that Taylor Swift magazine articles ect. do.

Last filming session

Dan managed to re-film the interview with Drew's manager with Matt, who worked with us outside the group. We got feedback from our teacher to include different angles to make the interview more interesting. 

Also, we changed the background to make the scene more vibrant in comparrison to having a plain white background. I found that the background change was significant as it reflected the character of Patrice who is French. Apart from Patrice himself, arguably the main subject in the scene is the bottle of wine which is supposed to reflect his nationality which is French. 

• During this scene we have also included yet more photos of Drew Taylor from when she was younger to remind the audience of the purpose that this documentary serves. This is to get to know the star and her life before she was famous. 

New Ideas

I suggested that instead of the clip being a whole documentary we only make it the first section just so that it doesn't look compact and so it fits the requirements of the coursework production, which is a scene from a documentary. To achieve this look, at the end of the scene we have the main title and then added font saying 'Part One' closing off the first section. Therefore, we have also removed the end credits. Although the titles were professional looking they did not fit in with the overall structure of our documentary scene. I have found after researching different documentaries-particularly TV documentaries-that using titles to end sections is a convention of documentary.
