Since last week, I have not filmed very much but I have started to plan my final cut. Some challenges I face are creating an overarching theme and a meaning to the documentary. Some successes I have include using a high-definition camera and creating an animated interview with the subject. Some discoveries I have made include the intended camera angles in interviewing, the strategies in documentary creation and how to use iMovie. Some disappointments I have had are trying to make my documentary up to par with a real documentary and trying to make everything tie together for one meaning. This is just a rough cut
Jessica, your rough cut looks awesome! I loved the beginning scene. It is a unique way to start out your interview and gives a cool perspective. I agree with your difficulty of trying to create an overarching theme with the documentary as a whole. It is a little hard to piece things together and make them flow like other documentaries we have watched. In addition, your high definition camera definitely makes a difference. The quality of the whole scene looks great. All in all, to me you seem like you're definitely on the right path. Can't wait to watch the final product!
ReplyDeleteI really like how your documentary is coming along so far! I think it flows very well and I like the music choice as well. One suggestion I have is to maybe lower the volume of the music during the interview so we can better understand what is being said. Other than that I really liked it!
