Ok. Now that you've watched a documentary and got the general gist of what they do and how they are structured, you are going to watch a couple more (on the Media Student Drive: L:\Media Studies).
Your task is to pick a FIVE MINUTE section of one of the documentaries, then make some notes on each of the following headings. Once you have made notes, you need to be ready to SHOW your chosen five minute clip, and then TEACH the class what you know about your chosen section.
• Voice over: narration, commentary, voice of God
• Interviews
• Location sound recording
• Cutaways: from a given scene to provide images that illustrate or complicate a point made within a scene.
• Continuity and evidentiary editing: help create a seamless narrative (evidentiary editing organises cuts within a scene to present the impression of a single, convincing argument supported by logic).
• A reliance on people in their everyday roles and activities.
• The organisation of a film as problem solving: establishing a problem or issue, examination of its current complexity or severity, including recommendation or solution that the viewer is encouraged to endorse or adopt personally.
• Written text or images: on screen or bits of evidence, eg. newspapers
• Music and credits
• A closed narrative structure (beginning, middle and end)
• Camera shot, eg. Shaky to increase reality, hidden camera
• Maps and diagrams
• Still pictures
• Archive footage
