Final ideas and Feedback.


My group and I had positive feedback from our ideas:
Everyone knew little about our subject matter so they were intrigued and wanted to know/learn more about it.
They were concerned about how we would relate it to a younger audience as they felt religion was a little out dated but we assured them by saying most of out interviewees would be young adults (the same age as them) so the audience could relate to them.
They told us that it has the potential to be good however we needed to be careful that it doesn't go from really interesting to boring as that can happen with documentaries about religions.
We valued all of this feedback and will listen to it and keep it in mind when we create out documentary.

Documentaries- West bro baptist church.


Love documentary




For this task we were put into groups and given a brief.
My brief was to create a short two minute documentary on love in a reflexive mode.
I decided to do my documentary on the different types of love interviewing two couples
and a teacher.
I asked the same question throughout the documentary, which also happened to be the
documentaries title "What is love to you?".
By doing this practice documentary I have learnt about different filming and editing
techniques and also my interviewing techniques.
