A2: Culture in the digital age

 Script Here, this is the script that I created for my documentary. I decided not to script the interviews as I believe this would have created a more forced reaction to the questions rather than having it come off authentic in its delivery. I will ensure to rehearse the areas that are scripted with my crew to get the best product possible. This would be required in the media industry otherwise you would not be able to create a high quality product.   Storyboard  Here, this is the storyboard I used to articulate my ideas further whilst also showing some creative elements in the process of making it. This would be important in the media industry as a storyboard allows you to flesh out your ideas further.

Reflection Overall, using the pitch, I know that the people who I delivered the pitch to seemed to like the idea as one person asked if it was going to be focused on just one game or if I would expand and do several different games/franchises. Another person replied with nothing meaning there was nothing wrong with the idea in their opinion. One critical piece of feedback I gathered was that the title I wanted to give my documentary was far too long thus I have decided to shorten the title to "Gaming culture in the digital age" as this isn't a long title that would bore the audience or make them uninterested to click on the documentary.  

Moreover, with the BBC's products, they tend to use a wide range of unique cinematography which creates very interesting and unique shots. For example, in "climate change- the facts" there is a plethora of shots representing the contrasts of weather such as during vast amounts of heat and cold. In addition, they tend to use several diegetic and non diegetic sounds to convey there thoughts and opinions such as using aggressive sounds to represent the contrast in weather and the dangers that climate change can cause. What are your interests/hobbies? Overall, the responses that I gathered from this question showcased the areas where my target audience are interested in as my responses ranged from "performing arts" to "witch craft and gaming" to "content creating". This informs that the area I want to explore (gaming industry) is an avenue that I can go down. This also shows other potential areas I could go down if I decided not to follow...

      BBC Three and BBC England are collaborating to launch Northern Voices which is the Factual Development Scheme for the North of England. They have asked independent production companies to create a short documentary film with the theme of "Culture in the Digital Age." The target audience for this project is 16-24 year old people as their aim is to engage young people and to encourage people to think about the impact of the digital age on our modern society. My initial thoughts are positive towards this project as I've began to think about what area I want to tackle linked to culture in the digital age. This project will allow me to be more creative. I will have to overcome my inexperience in regards to the fact that I have never made a documentary before however to combat this I am going to put in time to researching how documentaries are made and look into existing documentaries for inspiration on how I should produce my own documentary. Moreover, I will have t...
