This document provides feedback on an A2 coursework assignment evaluating example documentary material. The summary identifies issues with an overly long introduction, background sound levels that made the presenter difficult to hear at times, and an excessive use of found footage rather than original material. It also notes problems with volume control, missing captions, inappropriate costume choice, and inconsistent framing cutting people's heads off at times. The feedback aims to improve the realism, engagement, production quality, and overall effectiveness of the documentary material.

3. EBI
Shooting material -More realistic public interviews
Shooting material - Shorten the introduction
The introduction ( in which they recap last weeks
‘episode’ ) is quite long and boring so it loses the
audiences attention.
Sound – volume control/cut off
The background sound was too loud and
made it hard to hear the presenter and
sometimes the presenter was cut off before
she was finished speaking.
Shooting material – Too much found footage
They have used too much found footage and
not enough of their own.

4. Is the current media landscape
Hegemonic or Democratic?

5. EBI
Sound – Volume Control
In some parts the background sound was too loud
making it difficult to hear the presenter.
Captions
Make sure that the credits are included in each
expert interview.
Shooting material – Mise-en-scene
The costume that the presenter is wearing does not follow the
conventions of this type of documentary as the topic is not very serious.
Framing –
The framing throughout the documentary was not
consistent with shots where the persons head is
cut off.
