The document discusses the elements of documentary filmmaking conventions that were included in a student documentary about phones. It includes captions with the interviewee's name and occupation, relevant techno music and ringtones as non-diegetic sound, and fast-paced jump cuts for editing. The setting of a media room links to the topic of phones. However, the document also provides criticism, noting the jump cuts are too jumpy, editing is too fast, and there is a lack of transitions. It states the cuts are unclear and do not fully convey viewpoints. The interviewee does not seem interested and says irrelevant things, leaving the viewpoint confusing without a clear narrative structure.

2. Captions: At the beginning of the documentary, we have included a caption
that informs the audience of the interviewee’s name and occupation. This is
good as it then conforms to the codes and conventions of a documentary.
Non-diagetic sound: Throughout the documentary, we added music, the music
we have included is relevant to the subject matter and this conforms to the
codes and conventions of a documentary. The music is relevant as it is techno
music and ringtones.
Jump cuts: We have included lots of jump cuts throughout the documentary
and this is an editing technique. The editing is very fast paced and continuous
and also linear which is what most documentaries are, therefore, we have stuck
to the codes and conventions in order to make our documentary like others.
Setting: The setting for the documentary is a media room, this links to the topic
of the documentary which is phones. The setting has technical equipment
which makes the documentary look more professional and stand out, it also
allows the documentary to have a serious meaning.
The documentary has all the relevant information needed which allows the
documentary to be more straightforward and to the point, this enables the
audience to stay interested.

3. Throughout the documentary there are many jump cuts, however these jump cuts are too jumpy and have no
transition from one shot to the next. The editing seems to be too fast which does not look very professional. There
are not many types of editing used which also makes the documentary look unfinished.
Our documentary included no transitions which made the documentary very basic and plain. This does not
appeal to the audience as it seems to be boring and not very professional.
Throughout the documentary, there are lots of unclear cuts which cut off what people are saying and their
viewpoint so it does not seem to answer many of the audiences questions which kind of leaves the
documentary slightly open.
There is a very unfocused viewpoint due to the interviewee not seeming very interested in answering the
questions. the interviewee says very irrelevant things which doesn't interest the audience and makes the
documentary view point confusing.
The Mise en scene throughout the documentary could be more relevant in order to look more professional and
engage the audience.
There is also no clear narrative structure throughout and it is very basic
