Evaluation:



Above is our final docmentary which we created. When filming our footage we came across a number of problems, the first one was that when we put the tape in the camera we forget to rewind the tape back to the start of the image, this became a problem as when we came to edit the footage we found out that the footage was unusable as the video footage could not be seen and we could only hear the sound. As this problem was unfixable we had to go out and film all of our footage again, however we had leanrt that we would have to make sure we rewonud the tape back, this would mean that in our actual documetary we would not hav to waste time re-filming any footage if we had filmed it properly in the first place.

One thing that is wrong with our documetary is that the name graphics do not stay on the interviewd person for long enough, this is as are clips were only short however when doing our main documnentary we would have to make sure we made each graphic long enought and also so that they were on for the same time.

Another thing which was wrong with our documentary was that the mise-en-scene was not right for the subject which we we were talking about, when creating our other documetary we would need to take this more into consideration in order to create a whloe look to the documentary.

One thing which I learnt by creating this documentary was making sure that we framed the interviews correctley, we made sure that the interviee's eyes were 3/4 of the way up the shot and stood on one side and looked directley at the interviewer and not the camera. As I had already learnt how to do this skill it would mean that I would be able to make sure that in the other documetary in order to fit with the codes and conventions.

One thing that we would have to change in this documetary to make it become more successful would be to use are own original images, this is because we would then be able to get images which were more suited to the documetary and have no limits on what we wanted the images to look like, It would also mean that it would be of a better quality as you would not lose any of the image quality like you wolud when you download images.

Another tthing which we would need to take into account to improve our documetary was be careful of any background noise, as in one of the interviews you can hear a hand dryer in the background which takes the attention away from the interview. This would also mean that it would have a better quality of sound and become all-togehter more improved.
