Basic conventions of documentary
This document provides guidance on techniques for filming interviews and incorporating them into documentaries. Some key points covered include: filming subjects using the rule of thirds composition, lighting subjects from the front, using different shot sizes to engage viewers, including relevant graphics and background information, and supplementing interviews with cutaway shots, archive footage, and vox pops from ordinary people. The overall goal is to keep viewers interested through well-edited footage and storytelling techniques.
Codes and conventions of documentaries
Documentaries follow certain codes and conventions including using relevant sound effects and music, carefully constructing the mise-en-scene, and editing interviews in a way that provides continuity while removing unnecessary questions. They also make use of cutaways, archive footage, graphics to display information, and aim for simple editing to avoid confusing viewers. Interviews are typically filmed in a medium close up with the interviewee looking off-screen and the camera alternating angles.
Task 1
Film trailers are an important marketing tool for movies as they create interest and promote the film. Trailers typically include key moments and highlights from the movie to entice viewers without revealing too much of the plot. They also showcase the main stars, director, and release date to attract audiences. The goal of a trailer is to make people want to see the full film by teasing elements of the story, characters, themes, and genre in an engaging way through video clips, music, and voiceovers.
teaser trailer introduction
A teaser trailer is a short trailer released early in a film's marketing campaign to create awareness and excitement for an upcoming film. Teasers are usually 30-60 seconds and show brief clips and glimpses of the film without revealing major plot points. In contrast, full trailers are longer at a few minutes and provide more footage and hints about the film's story. The purpose of a teaser is to let audiences know a related film is in production without giving everything away so it leaves them wanting more information.
Storyboard template
This storyboard contains details for a film, including the logo, director, and descriptions of shots including setting, action, camera specifications, sound elements, transitions between shots, and duration. It provides a visual plan for a short creative film project, outlining what will be seen and heard in each shot through written cues.
What is a documentary
This document defines documentaries and their key elements. It explains that documentaries focus on real people and events to allow audiences to form opinions. The term was coined in 1926. Documentaries document actual events using footage or reconstruction with narration. There are five central elements - observation, interviews, dramatization, mise-en-scene, and exposition. The document also outlines six common types of documentaries - fully narrated, fly on the wall, mixed, self-reflexive, docudrama, and docusoap.
Conventions of a title sequence.
The opening sequence of a movie will introduce the title, cast and crew, main setting and characters, and provide insights into the genre through music, camera work, editing and other elements. It aims to build atmosphere or tension and give the audience a taste of the film without revealing too much of the plot. A variety of shots and angles will be used to immerse viewers in the world of the film.
The music biz
The documentary uses typical documentary filmmaking techniques such as handheld camera footage during concert performances to portray the raw nature of the music industry. Interviews use close-ups and medium shots of subjects speaking, and chromakey is used to display relevant background images. Standard documentary elements like a male voiceover, music from the topic artist, and lower third graphics with interviewee names and locations are also included. Archival material such as magazine articles, TV performances, and music videos provide historical context about the artist.

Different shot types of documentaries
Establishing shots introduce the location of filming from a high angle to show the surrounding area. Medium close ups show a person from the chest up to frame interview subjects or on-screen narrators. Medium shots frame subjects from the knees up, often to show objects being held or worn. Close ups nearly fill the frame with a person's head and neck to capture facial expressions. Extreme long shots show people or objects from a distance to provide context of the surrounding environment. These various shot types were studied and used in a documentary to follow conventions and appear professional.
3. production research
This document discusses different types of shots used in video production and interviews. It analyzes shots from videos about the Munich Air Disaster and Stockport County. The first section examines a well-framed wide shot with Old Trafford in the background from an interview that draws attention to the subject. However, the second interview shot is poorly framed with two people and no context. Close-up shots are used to emphasize audio but risk cutting off heads, and work best when cross-cut with wide shots. The final section criticizes shots from a Stockport County video for being too static with opportunities missed for more creative visual techniques.

Documentaries
This document defines and explores various elements and features of documentary films. It begins by explaining that documentaries aim to document aspects of reality for instructional or historical purposes. Early films from the 1890s were short actuality films capturing single events on film. The term "documentary" was coined in 1926. The document then discusses key documentary features like interviews, which provide different views on the topic; mise-en-scene, which refers to visual elements that establish time, space and mood; and dramatization, which recreates situations to entertain audiences while illustrating the subject matter. Exposition introduces important background information, and documentaries also employ observation techniques like a fly on the wall approach or inclusion of a narrator.
Treatment and Propsal for Music Video
The document proposes a music video concept for the song "FAVORITE SIN" by the artist. The video will feature characters attempting poor impersonations of famous music videos and movies in a homemade, humorous style. It will be shot on November 16, 2008 in Quezon City using a handheld camera. The director provides guidelines on the narrative design, use of extras, lighting, locations, and shot sequencing. Example music videos and movies are referenced to illustrate the intended tone and style.
Natural treasure
This document analyzes the film poster for National Treasure. It summarizes that the foreground features Nicolas Cage's character standing confidently in the center to catch the audience's eye. The background image is a script to suggest historical references. It notes the poster references Pirates of the Caribbean to imply a similar genre and draw a large audience. The release date and tagline "To break the code, one man will have to break all the rules" are also mentioned to inform viewers when to see it and tease the story.
Mapping
The document discusses what was learned from analyzing the opening sequences of three movies. Key elements included establishing shots, title and credits appearing towards the end, listing main actors, and production company. Opening sequences are important for advertising upcoming films and generating curiosity among the public by showing short clips to give a sense of what scenes to expect.
Teasers and trailes
The document compares and contrasts movie trailers and teasers. It discusses their differences in sound/music, voiceovers, use of special effects, mise-en-scene, and choice of titles. Trailers tend to have more music tracks, voiceovers introducing ratings and plot, reveal more dramatic scenes and special effects, and use titles related to the storyline. Teasers generally use a single track of music, limit voiceovers and revealing of plot details, restrict big special effect scenes, rely on mise-en-scene to convey genre, and use vague date titles without giving away too much of the storyline. Both aim to introduce the genre but trailers provide more information while teasers aim to tease without revealing
180 degress rule
The document discusses different camera shot techniques for filming conversations between two people, including two-shots and over-the-shoulder shots. A two-shot frames both subjects in the conversation at the same time to show their interaction and relationship. An over-the-shoulder shot focuses on one subject at a time by filming them over the shoulder of the other subject. Filming conversations using these shots allows the audience to follow the interaction and focus on each subject individually as they take turns speaking or reacting.
Goodwin's theory on music videos
Andrew Goodwin is a music video theorist who developed a theory about repetitive features in music videos that help audiences relate to and understand the media. His theory outlines 5 key aspects of music videos: 1) how the music track relates to the cinematography through illustration, disjuncture, or amplification, 2) the "star image" or protagonist that appeals to audiences, and 3) technical aspects like mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and editing that establish expectations for different music genres. Goodwin argues these repetitive features make the language of music videos easier for audiences to understand.
Media Q1 - Part 2
The document discusses conventions for movie teaser posters. It notes that teaser posters typically include the release date and a foreshadowing slogan. They often feature a shocking image that hints at a major plot point. It also discusses using a lineup of main character faces, like in Reservoir Dogs, or focusing on the protagonist. However, the poster described in the document chose to have a large central image and elaborate title font instead of focusing on amateur actors. It aims to make the title stand out against a simple black background by using a bright, elaborate font.
Why do have film trailers #
Film trailers are short video sequences lasting 2-4 minutes that are released months before a film to entice audiences to watch the film. Trailers consist of selected exciting or noteworthy shots from the film edited together without spoiling the overall plot. Their purpose is to attract audiences and they are distributed widely on media like YouTube. The first film trailer was created in 1913 by Loews Cinemas to promote a film called "The Pleasure Seekers" and played before films, setting the standard practice still used today of previewing trailers before movies.
Hostage
The sequence establishes the location with detailed establishing shots, leaving some questions unanswered to intrigue viewers. Slow non-diegetic music and police sirens in the background set the tone of the police genre. The color red symbolizes danger and targets, reinforced by images of sniper guns. Brief snapshots build an image that comes together at the start, setting the pace for an action/thriller film. The title enters from above a city, suggesting a hostage situation will be central to the plot.
Codes and conventions
This document defines various film and television production terminology:
Disco, Donut, File, and Dress describe different types of segments in a news broadcast. Out of vision, Float, and graphics describe different visual elements. Slug, Bug, Ticker, and Establishing Shot refer to on-screen graphics or shot types. The document provides definitions for key terms used in filmmaking, television production, and broadcast journalism.

Conventions of a documentary
Documentaries follow certain conventions when filming interviews and presenting information. Interviews are typically filmed with a steady tripod camera focused on the subject. Interviewees are framed using the rule of thirds composition technique. The interviewer stands off-camera to avoid distraction. Interview titles provide context on the subject. B-roll footage, creative montages, establishing shots, archive media, photographs, and vox pops are used to illustrate topics discussed. A presenter directly addresses the audience to provide narrative and context. Voiceovers are used authoritatively while non-diegetic music accompanies them at a low volume.
Basic conventions of documentary
