The document discusses planning for a documentary about Educating Corby. It involved creating a shot list and script. The shot list includes 20 shots of different scenes that would be filmed at the school. Scenes include establishing shots of the school, shots of students in classrooms and lessons, and close-ups of teachers. After the shot list was completed, a more detailed script was written to correspond with specific shots and include narration. The script provides descriptions and dialogue for 5 of the shots from the list.

1. Educating Corby Planning

2. Before we start any filming, we needed to plan a
script and a shot list for our documentary of
Educating Corby. This was an extensive process
that involved us thinking realistically about the
types of shots that we could successfully
achieve. We had to plan the script alongside the
shot list, as we had to state when a character
would be speaking, though we planned in more
detail the entire script after we had completed
the shot list.

4. Script:
After we had come up with the shot list, we came up with a script in detail in
order to be able to convey an interpretation into the language that will be
used within the advertisement.
Shot 4: ‘We’ve got over a thousand students, who are all academically
different.’
Shot 6: Narration over shot: ‘every day is full of highs and lows.’
Shot 9: ‘By the end of Year 11, students become very independent adults.’
Shot 12: ‘That is not the kind of behaviour I expect in my classroom.’
Shot 13: Students will laugh and speak amongst themselves without any form
of script.
Shot 14 and 15: Narration will carry through both shots, ‘They all achieve
their own goals, in their own ways.’
Shot 17 and 18: Narration will start halfway through shot 17 and continue
into shot 18, with the close up of the head teacher. In shot 18, the narration
will match the shot used. ‘Every day is a different day, you never know what
to expect.’
