2. NARRATIVE VOICE OVER (NARRATOR)
This leads the audience into a preferred reading. We felt a voice
over on our documentary would make it more effective because
we thought it would help blend the different clips from interviews
and footage together, so it works better in chronological sense,
and follows better as a story.
We would also like to combine narration with the use of a
presenter, who is enthusiastic about our story we would like to tell.
This can help the audience gather more interested and intrigued
by our documentary.
3. ARCHIVE FOOTAGE
The use of archive footage could be vital in our documentary as
we will need it to show past moments from the club alongside
interviews and our presenter, to help visualize our story, as well as
expressing the interviewees thoughts, feelings and reactions on
each piece of footage.
4. INTERVIEWS WITH CLUB MEMBERS AND
COMMUNITY
Interviews would be great in our documentary, we agreed from
the beginning the only way to create an effective documentary
would be to have interviews with the club and community.
Instead of vox pops we knew we would have to try and find
members such as past players and executives who are more
popular and well known to interview about our story.
5. HAND HELD CAMERAWORK
A hand held camera in documentaries creates a sense of
realism. In our documentary a handheld camera might produce
an effect we don't really need, for example if we film interviews
or shots of the stadium and certain locations, it might not look
high quality. But we could use it if we was to track our presenter in
a tracking shot, making sure it was smooth.
However, if we were to make a documentary of ourselves
making our production, a handheld camera would be a good
way to film this.
6. ESTABLISHING AND CLOSE UP SHOTS.
These shots are key to allow the audience to get to know our
story better. If we got plenty of establishing shots of the locations
known by the club and close ups of important details in these
locations like monuments, and in interviews to follow the most
common documentary style.
7. PARALLEL EDITING, SELECTIVE EDITING,
INTERCUTTING, LINKING KEY SCENES
TOGETHER.
Different editing styles are key to having our product look
professional. We knew we had to use Adobe Premiere well to be
able to edit our documentary together with just raw footage and
learning how to use it. Overlapping audio with video and
selective editing is something that is crucial to our documentary.
