My documentary
is about how people feel living in a crime filled area, how safe people feel
when they are coming home at night time or even in the daytime were you should
feel safe. i want to get the people perspective on how safe they really feel an
if they would recommend people to live were they live. Overall my documentary
should last 20 mins it should take me 2 weeks to people able to get people
opinions on camera and analyse them give people a general perspective of what
they think of their bourgh.
Locations are
based on college site, Lambeth and Croydon
Key messages are
that I want to see if people share the same views no matter were your
living
My documentary
is strictly educational and some promotional because i want to be able to give
good advice to people who are thinking of moving out and want to find somewhere
they feel safe
My target audience
were be anyone because I don't just want to find out how thing are if a target
an young and older target it might help me be able to get some solutions on how
thing were back in the day that I could use give people advice if all my research
come back positive.
Because I want
to make it a realist documentary I feel that using minimal sound I will get my views
across clearer
I might need a
little bit more time if I get an array of answers.
You could say that social action is way of
achieving people's goals together, taking the chance to change people views on
what’s actually going on in the world, introducing new ideas that would better
our future generation of people, entering this world for years to come.
Social action is for tool to for awareness of a specific
subject or cause, with the action or change amongst its intended audience. Media
is produced and circulated within a particular community, which generally
places less of an emphasis on profit and focuses more on providing a service to
the people within that community. In this post, I will go into greater detail
on the subjects of social action and community media, and talk about their
relevance and importance.
With the help of social action young offenders
turn their life around due to people not giving up them like street doctors
(who are volunteer medical students) which give the offenders the knowledge on
how to save lives instated of festering in own solitude to pick up the peace’s
for themselves.
Media
are characterised by their accountability
Community production
Community to the communities they serve. They emerge as a
result of popular movements that strive to attain an important space in
citizen participation and demand the right to own and operate free from
political or commercial interference.
Social action usually non-profit, this form of media often
takes on controversial subjects as a way of influencing change. Common subjects
depicted in social action media include: smoking, drug addiction,
alcoholism, politics, green peace, racism and many more. Such films can either
be factual or dramatized. Factual films may depict the extremities of the topic
in discussion, such as someone facing an impending death as a result of
cigarette smoking; not all smokers die of their habit, but by showing the most
tragic outcome the filmmaker manages to spark more interest. On the other hand,
filmmaker's may decide upon taking a more confrontational approach, by
challenging certain individuals who may be implicated in a particular
issue.
The purpose of this is to raise awareness for people
smoking around their children because the children are imitating their parents.
The parents are shown trying to protect their children by hiding their smoking
habits
Techniques used:
The production has got lots of two shots to show
relationships between parents and children and children acting as
their parents. They have used this throughout because children want to be like
their parents and they pick up on things they do and copy. The video is filmed
from a child’s perspective
Impact:
The impact makes smokers aware that children copy
things they do and also not to smoke around your children because it will make
them want to smoke to. These attempts are unsuccessful and the ad ends with a
child standing in front of the mirror pretending to smoke, using a crayon as a
cigarette.
This documentary is to raise awareness that police who are racist, and why are they stoping black people and arresting them for a small amount of cannabis. this problem has been occurring for many years, arresting people for such a petty crime, people are arguing that arresting these people its not stopping the amount of real crimes that is happening out.
techniques used
pictures of people being arrested and searched in brought daylight, other people telling us how is it has effect their life because they find it hard to get a job and how this little amount of cannabis can follow you for the rest of your life
Filmmaking can be broadly broken down into three main stages
1. Pre-production and writing a brief:
Which is identifying the story (what contents is in the film),
the locations where the film is based and planning for your filming. Developing
ideas, If your film uses actors or models, you may need to work with your
filmmaker to develop a script, a storyboard and to organise a casting session.
2. Production:
Live action filming and
creating any complex graphics/animations created/music compositions if
required.
3. Post-production:
Creating the narrative
with editing, applying text and effects, sound mixing, colour grading, sign-off
and delivery.
What your film brief include:
Summary:consider
writing a brief overview at the start to summarise the whole project, if your
summary is too long.
Background:
If there is any background information that would help you understands more
about the project you should include, also within the background you need to
put your requirements.
The
Brief: You will need to describe your film contents as you envisage it,
within the brief you have to make the person aware the of the target audience,
what are the key message, any specific requirements like camera shots and
location, will it be filmed in a studio or at your own working place.
Outputs:
consist of How is the content will be delivered? What is the duration and
technical spec? Refer to any specific standards for guidance. Do you also
require a copy of the complete set of raw footage delivered at the end?
Timeline: any key briefing, filming or delivery dates. Is there a schedule for
the films completion or specific filming dates? Target key activities and
events that you require filming.
Budget: is there a fixed budget or are you asking for quotes? List what is your
budget or budget range and what it does/or does not include. For example, does
it include studio hire, extra crew, music licensing, and crew food and travel
expenses or will these be added as extras as required?
Pitch: a pitch is also something you should keep in your brief, it there to so
other people can get a great understanding of what going to happen, a pitch can
also benefit your profit because good pitch can attract any
buyer
To
Finish, when you finish an film brief like any information you should have a
double check it, to outline any ideas you should need developing, also this
will help your filmmaker deliver the project to your brief and budget as well
as being technical correct for its future.
