Documentary survey

Evaluation

In my group(consist of two members) We worked well together, we quickly agreed on our documentary because it was about football, a sport in which we both enjoy. I quickly planned the interviews and storyboard, everything was organized in time to start recording, except for one of our interviewers who we thought we were going to record, but in the end we could not interview him. 

Group difficulties:In my group we had a few setbacks, especially with communication, because we had to get a certain person who was going to play a big role in our documentary but we could not get in touch with him. We also had attendance problem, because Enoch was not in the majority of the lessons we could not get 100% work and effort in our work. Another problem was lack of concentration because, i think if we concentrated all our effort into the documentary it could have been a great and accurate pierce.

Before we started our documentary we looked at several football documentaries to give a brief ideas in those certain subjects. Our idea was straight forward because its a sport that we are both familiar in.It was quiet easy for us to plan our documentary, because like i said we were

Our audience feed back was pretty good and we did enjoy it but personally i think it could have been better.

To improve our documentary i think we could put in more effects and maybe add a bit more music,  we also could have planned more accurately and we could have used our time efficiently

History of music videos

Music videos play a big part in the music industry. Artists in music videos  are  given the chance of impressing the public not just with their vocal talent, but also with their looks or moves.

music video used to be less important then it is nowadays. MTV (Music Television) was the phenomenon that gave so much power and importance to the music video. As MTV was broadcasting 24-hour-a-day music, music videos were needed to be produced. Consequently, music video began to play an important role in artists' careers. It is considered that even Madonna's career has been greatly influenced by her videos that presented a sexy, appealing look of the artist. MTV has been highly controversial: some saw as the beginning of an amazing, new, fresh era in music, others considered it to mark the end of true musical talent, as artists have been become more appreciated for their looks instead of their vocal abilities.

In this generation the music video is as important as the song itself, sometimes even deciding the success of a song or artist. Collections of music videos are being sold on tapes or DVDs.  They consider that a music video should be assessed based on its visual qualities and not on the song quality.

Issues facing producers of factual programming

Factual Programming is a Programmer,which is based on facts that occur in real life. Such as a the News programmer or Documentary.

Accuracy: when doing the documentary you have to take care over the release of certain things containing information which may be put out to the public, these things maybe medical information or personal material, this has is because it can  put people's health and personal details at risk

Objectivity: In a documentary, getting the main point across being open minded about the point being made about the subject at hand.An example like reporting that emphasizes eyewitness accounts of events, corroboration of facts with multiple sources and balance of viewpoints.

Balance: when doing the documentary, information in some subjects like political content in the the public news. Also balance can be biased in describing a perceived issue as being more balanced between opposing viewpoints than the evidence actually supports. An example is journalists they may present evidence and arguments out of proportion to the actual evidence for each side.

Impartiality: This is having more of a balanced standing on subjects and not being biased to one side or the other this applies to all output and services such as - television, radio, online.

Subjectivity: This is simply keeping your personal views/feelings out of the issues as this can lead to more of an one sided view on the matter at hand and become more biased.

Bias: when an argument is completely one sided and ignores the evidence shown by the other party. Practical limitations to media, include availability of certain stories and facts.

Representation: stereotyping a person/group such as

People, places, objects, events, cultural identities

in a certain way this can be characterized into certain groups.

access:  means to communicate with or otherwise interact with a system: a specific type of interaction between a subject and an object that results in the flow of information from one to the other.

my plan for the next 2 hours

In the next few hours I am going to be interviewing  a few individuals such as Kevin and so on.
The interviews will be about 2 minutes each depending on how the individuals respond to the question.

After i do my interviews i will look to edit the interviews and set up everything in the right older and proceed from there.

After i finish editing i will try to put on a narrate into our interviews to make more interest and entertaining.

Storyboard

My new documentary idea

Football: Treatment.

The purpose of my documentary is to inform you about how hard it is for people to make it professional in the football industry. Due to rising demands of physical attributes in the game of football in the UK.

In my documentary i will interview a couple of people about their views on becoming football pro's, i will also interview people who play  football at a high level such as, academies such as Coventry City and Leicester and others who play football on either a saturday or a sunday and their views on this topic. I will also interview P.E staff, who may wanted to take football further such as Mr Degroot and Mr Wallen.

I may also try to compare other countries to the U.K based on football and how it may be easier for other people to make it pro in different countries. So this i may use the internet to find statistics, i will be using search engines such google and wikipedia.

The Audience of my documentary is teenagers who desperately want to make it in football or teenagers who watch football as entertainment sport and local fans or supporters. 

The questions i am going to be asking will be as follows:

How do the you think footballs has changed in the past years and do you think it is hard to make it pro than previous years?

Do you think it is easier to make it pro in a foreign country rather than the UK?

To staff: Mr Degroot in your early years did always want to make it pro in your football career and did you have to put in as much effort compared to now?

To staff: Mr Wallen how do think the demand of physical attributes has changed the football game and has this made it harder for people with no physical presence to make it pro?

To youths who play at a high level (either academies or semi pro clubs) Do you are likely to make it pro in your football career and is it a lot of hard work and effort?

Risk assessment: During my documentary everyone being inter-vied will have to avoid trips and wires on the ground, to avoid serious injuries to property and themselves.

Shots: medium shots, close up and long shot.

Preps and Equipment: The equipment we are going to be using are going to be Camera, tripod, lights, footballs,microphone and chairs.

Locations: my selected locations will be the astro turf, out in the streets, P.E office and drama room.
