SOUND CLIP EXT
Day
FILM A BLANK AREA AND RECORD MY
SCRIPTED NARRATION
I will create a script after I have uploaded all of my
footage and looked over the content of the documentary.
I will start to edit and have an understanding of what the
documentaries message is. At this moment in time I am
allowing the documentary to be free in the way it unfolds
therefore I have not yet come up with a title. By looking
over the final footage, it will help me convey my
interpretation onto the audience as the narrator I am able
to shape there opinion and viewpoint of the subject
matter.
