Storyboarding

Now that we have chosen our topic, we have started discussing the storyboard and have started to talk about what we are going to actually include in the documentary, talking about what statistics we will put in, what archive footage we could put in. What we could talk about in interviews. We have also discussed the different "storyline" through the documentary. We have discussed filming someone whilst they are driving, and using different editing shots to show they are going quickly. We have discussed the typical documetnary techiniques that we will use such as in the interview we will have the interviewee on the left hand side of the shot.
Instead of doing a written storyboard, we have done a storyboard with pictures and captions explaining what is happennig in the shot.

Chosen documentary

We have chosen our final documentary topic, after going through different choices of topics we have chosen to do Teenage driving, we will put in statistics and do interview on people's views on teenage driving. As a year group last year we went to a drive alive show. Which showed you the dangers of driving and the consequences it had on people. A member of our group Hester emailed the company asking for some statistics or film shots. We have also been on the website to look and see what information they have to see if we acn take any of their statistics. http://www.safedrive.org.uk/news.html
We have also been looking at different typical documentary techniques, which include handheld shots and steady shots, we are experimenting with different shots so that we choose certain ones that will fitr in with our documentary.
