What is a documentary
A documentary aims to document real events using footage or reconstruction, sometimes with narration. There are five key elements: observation which places the audience as eyewitnesses, interviews, dramatization to add drama, careful composition of shots, and constructing an argument. Documentaries can be fully narrated, follow a "fly on the wall" approach, use mixed techniques, allow self-reflection, or reenact events. They can follow a linear or non-linear timeline and contain single or multiple narrative strands.

Double page spread analysis
The document summarizes the layout and design elements of a double page spread in a magazine. Key elements included a short, attention-grabbing headline in bold at the top left; a stand first using rhetoric to summarize and engage readers; the emphasis of a chef's name in bold to draw in interested audiences; a byline stating the author; clear column layout with minimal empty space; program details in the top left corner; a larger main image on the right with a smaller secondary image; page numbers on the bottom; and the magazine logo at the bottom for continuity. Images and pull quotes are used to entice readers into the article, and drop caps sectionalize the content to guide readers through it step-by-step.

Why im analysing a double page spread
I analyzed a double page spread from the Radio Times magazine to identify the codes and conventions used to promote TV shows. Having studied codes and conventions previously, I was able to recognize several that the producer employed and understand their meanings and purposes. By examining an existing magazine spread, I aimed to further my knowledge of current magazine design standards and techniques so I could then apply them to my own double page spread and ensure its success.
Post 5 radio stations
The document evaluates three BBC radio stations - Radio 1, Radio 1Xtra, and Radio 2 - as potential options to broadcast the author's documentary. Radio 1 reaches the most listeners but targets an older average age than the author's target audience. Radio 1Xtra specializes in urban music and successfully reaches a younger audience between 15-30 years old. Although Radio 1Xtra has fewer total listeners, it would allow the author to better appeal to and reach their intended younger viewers. Therefore, the author decides to broadcast their documentary on Radio 1Xtra.
Vox pop questions
This document contains proposed questions for a vox populi interview about smartphone usage. The questions include: "Do you own a smartphone?", "How long do you spend on your smartphone in the average day?", "What do you use it for?", "Do you feel your smartphone is important?/ Could you live without a smartphone?", and "Do you think your smartphone is distracting?". The questions are intended to gather statistics on smartphone ownership, get a sense of daily usage times and behaviors, understand how important users feel their smartphones are, and gauge whether users find their smartphones distracting.
Doc conventions
This document outlines various codes and conventions used in documentaries, including voiceovers, interviews, footage, sound, dramatization, exposition, visual coding, and gatekeeping. Voiceovers are unseen narrators that guide the audience, while interviews collect information from experts and the public. Footage includes archival, actuality, and background footage as well as reconstructions. Sound, dramatization, and exposition are used to engage audiences and explain concepts. Visual coding and mise-en-scene influence audience perceptions. Gatekeeping and editing construct a producer's version of reality.
Risk assessment presentation

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 1. Types of documentaries Shawaeb Tayab
- 2. There are seven types of documentaries: Fly on the wall Docusoaps Mixed Self-reflective Docudrama Fully narrated
- 3. Fly on the wall A fly on the wall documentary is where the camera is hidden and the viewer simply observes individual characters in their natural setting, there are no narrations or interviews. The covert filming means that there is little to no influence on the way the social actors act. E.g. Big brother
- 4. Docusoaps This is a hybrid genre. It consists of a long running documentary series which follows groups or individuals, it’s observational. Originating in the 90s it was popular because it was real events that occurred to real people. E.g. Made in chelsea
- 5. Mixed Documentaries Mixed documentaries conisist of combinations of interviews, archival footage, observation and narration. Typically in mixed documentaries the narrator links the stories together. A lot of contemporary documentaries are mixed.
- 6. Self Reflective Documentaries In this type of documentary, the narrator contributes the most. The camera is overt and the social actors talk to it, in attempt to talk to the audience. E.g. Ross Kemp Back On The Frontline
- 7. Docudrama Docudramas are based on reconstructions of real events. They rein-act real events. Crime Watch is a prime example of this.
- 8. Fully Narrated As the title may suggest this is where the film maker narrates the film throughout from beginning to end. An example of this would be: David Attenborough’s Frozen Planet
- 9. Reflection The purpose of this research was to enlighten me on the different types of documentaries. I think our documentary will most likely be a mixed documentary, fitting in with the norm of modern documentaries .
