This document discusses the production elements used in filming a documentary about mobile phones. It summarizes that the first expert interview took place at a mobile phone shop to reinforce the topic, and the second expert was interviewed in an educational setting due to his profession. It also discusses the camera shots, lighting, and importance of clear audio used to film interviews for the documentary.

2.  Due to the fact that our documentary was on mobile phones and
therefore technology based, we decided as a group that the mise-enscene needed to include scenarios that involved the subject in some
sort of way.
 The first expert interview with Jay Singh was based in Solihull Square.
A mid shot was used when filming Jay Singh whilst a clear view of the
shop “Phones 4 U” was displayed in the background. This gave the
ideology to the audience that Jay Singh was an employee, this enforced
by the transition displaying “Phones 4 U Employee”.
 The second expert interview with Mike Hatton was displayed in an
educational environment due to his profession. In the background is a
computer with a mobile phone website being displayed. This yet again
reinforcing the topic that is being discussed.

3.  MCU (Medium Close Up)
Half way between a MS and a CU.
 CA (Cutaway)
A shot of something other than the subject.
 Noddy Shot
Usually refers to a shot of the interviewer listening and
reacting to the subject.
 Two-Shot
A shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid-shot.
More information on camera shots used within the whole documentary can be found
in the blog under “Camera shots used within Documentary”.

4.  Lighting is the apparatus for supplying artificial light
effects to a stage, film, or television set
 Every interview is taking within broad daylight due to
the fact filming time was done in the day, however this
worked in our favour because the bright light meant
the interviewer can be clearly seen.

5.  It’s important to understand that a video has two components: picture
and sound. Both need to be considered when recording, and flaws in
either component can be extremely distracting for the viewer. One of
the biggest mistakes amateur filmmakers commit is to put all of their
effort into recording a nice-looking picture without putting any
consideration towards the audio. Having a nice, clean audio track to go
along with your picture is essential for creating a successful video.
 All interviews and Vox Pops used are recorded using a high quality
microphone ensuring that sound is crystal clear within the
documentary. This is important when recording the voiceover because
it describes what's being seen in the documentary. If the voiceover
wasnt clear then listeners are likely to question the quality of the
production. All sound levels have been tampered with on each clip
using the software “Final Cut” to order to ensure quality.
