ALL YOUR BLOG WORK

Refelction ideas +Problems we may encounter

What are some difficulties and problems that could occur?
• identifies practicalities that may affect the production process How would these problems and difficulties affect your film?
• considers the impact of these practicalities on the production process What are some solutions to dealing with any problems or difficulties?
• outlines strategies to overcome obstacles
Practicalities include such aspects as locations, transport, equipment, weather, costs, cast/crew, time, fliming etc.

Short filming and work period to create this documentary Less editing time means;
Our ideas will be less developed- working with special effects, colouration, imagery
Which means our documentary may be less effective and not boldly put across the message we are wanting to show our audience.
Use the production schedule and other lists & things to plan in advanced and use our given time effectively. Plan out days we are free to edit and what we need to get done to try and complete what we need in the short period.
Use our class time developing ideas and completing our written group and self work. Film after school, during our lunch breaks and after school. Editing as much as we can

Traveling to places where we need to film and/or edit that are more than a walk way
e.g- Auckland, group members homes If we have no access to transport we can’t get to these planned destinations and cannot have a wider range of footage. Having the access to different areas can widen our ideas and we can make the film more interesting. Also if we have planned for a scene to take place somewhere we don’t want to have to change our idea or miss out as it will take longer and having to post pone shooting is wasting time we don’t have Along with our planning try and organise in advanced rides with family or busses. From example when travelling into Auckland we caught a bus but the second time organised a ride with friends which managed to be faster and obviously cost effective.
Searching up bus times and making sure you find the fastest and easiest option would be the main solution in this situation.

Weather while filming outdoor shots is bad eg raining or low lighting
If it was raining the weather could damage some of the filming equipment, notes etc.

The filming that needed to be done was planned to have nice sunny weather and it’s raining. You might not be able to use the footage taken on that day as it may produce a darker mood in your documentary and the lighting might be bad quality even shooting indoors. Take some shots from this angle of stormy dark weather because it might help you think of more ideas and give you more shots to work with
If weather is too stormy and rain may harm equipment have a backup plan to do written work or another lot of filming that needs to be done. If you don’t have anything organised then plan for your next filming date so that you’re using your time to its max

Finding time that works with us and the interviewees – because we are students we have a short time frame
Trying to schedule time between us as students having school, homework and other priorities is one step yet also having to try and find the best suited time for employed interviewees will be quite difficult and result in maybe having to post pone shoots and having to negotiate time with the interviewees that may cut it close to the due date for development of the film. This means we may have less people to interview and if this is the outcome it means we have to try and find a just as bold and blunt way to put across the message we want people to think about. As with most things planning in advanced. With our interviewees we made sure when we came up with idea we planned the people we would interview at the beginning of the written work process just so that we have set dates that work with both parties.
When getting the contact information for certain people ask for other possibilities of people they know that may suit the roll needed.
Have back up possibilities of people you know will be available so you have a large selection of candidates.
Filming equipment – If we don’t have access to it If it breaks
The school only has limited resources therefore quality of the film may be poorer than if you used a professional camera. Also lacking in more developed equipment such as mic’s and lighting gives the crew members less to work with also making the film lack in quality as well as making the variations of shots that could be used restricted because of the lack of equipment. Because there being a lot of other students needing to use the given equipment too there will be less filming time and filming will be rushed thus making the footage seem less professional maybe Contact friends and family to find and borrow equipment to use. Also communicating and scheduling with your class mates when the cameras are in use will help to solve conflicts and ensure you to have the fairest and best use of the equipment given.

Making our documentary appeal to our audience Trying to make our film to entertain and appeal to everyone in our audience. We will have to change our ideas and some things in our film such as the back track audio and people we show to cater for every age group and every taste Finding a balance of ages so that it’s not all the younger generations or older generations. So there’s someone for everyone to relate to.
Also having a range of music that relates to the film rather than choosing popular music that people may be sick of or dislike.

Interviewing “random” people on the streets of Auckland about “What music means to them”
Instead of just interviewing “random” people on the streets for their taste in music and ideas on music we decided to target people relevant to our documentary such as street performers, bands, and cultural groups. We also came up with a range of questions rather than simply “what does music mean to you?” We chose to target street performers and people relevant to our topic to portray our purpose more bluntly because we want our audience to be able to understand clearly our aim and interest them at the same time, interviewing people playing on the streets in the audiences home town lets them engage in these interviews and keeps them hooked in to the film. Also interview less people for more depth and interesting footage. Keeping the interviews short and also adding in cut away footage with the audio of the interview in the background adds things for the audience to engage in while watching instead of watching an interviewee for however long which will make them lose interest.

Having subtitles introducing each interviewee or scene We decided to physically film objects or have clips of relevant shots such as the Times Fm hat to introduce the interview with Dean McGovern or the clips of Kora’s music video Instead of subtitles and headings to introduce the interview with Laughton. Also for the vox pops we had Daniel (a member from our group) physically asking the question that everyone will be answering. Instead of the usual title introducing the next part to the documentary we wanted to add an eye catching interesting twist to it. Using relevant objects such as the times fm hat introduces the setting and interviewee and also captures the audience’s attention and makes them thing therefore makes them engage.
It also breaks apart each segment and is more eye appealing and professional compared to a blank screen yet it is a simple enough introduction.
We added the clip in of Kora playing and targeted Laughton in those clips thus subtly introducing him and the band. It shows him professionally before the interview singing etc and relaxed during the interview thus showing the contrast and all of this is done for the viewer to stay engaged. We also decided to add a range of things to introduce scenes so there nothing repeated and felt boring or expected so to introduce the vox pops we has the audio of our group member asking the question everyone was answering.

Having an animated title worded at the very beginning
Instead of having the title of the documentary at the very beginning of the film we decided to start off with a relevant quote and sequence of archival footage to give the idea of the film.
This automatically engages the audience from the beginning and relates strongly to the purpose of our doco thus giving them an idea of what it’s about. We want to start strong with small clips and audio of another quote and then introduce the title after a blank screen giving the audience time to reflect on what they have seen and read. We also decided to end the doco on the title as well thus ending simply but with meaning

Trying to introduce our documentary with subtitles
We decided not to have a summary about explaining the purpose of the documentary. As too much writing at the beginning may cause the audience to lose focus and we want them to be hooked in and involved from the beginning therefore we started with a simple yet bold quote.

Including only a single interview in our documentary
We chose to use two larger interviews because everything the interviewees were saying was relevant and important. We also decided to have a montage of vox pops Having one interview wouldn’t have been enough to show both sides of what we were trying to explain. We needed an art point of view and then a corporate side to it.

Vox pops
Which was well used to put across our main idea about image in one eye catching interesting section thus breaking up the Interviews.

Why should our documentary be shown at the media festival

Present detailed arguments as to why this documentary production is appropriate for the festival

As you can see as you read through my treatment and concept work our documentary is made for the festivals audience. My target audience states that we will cater to entertain a wide range of ages therefore the audience of Orewa collages media festival would be perfect to screen our documentary. When I say we will be able to entertain a wide range of ages I’m meaning while the production of our film was happening we made sure we added a wide range of ages in our film such as the interviews and vox pops. We covered most ages that will be watching the film and added in relatable celebrities such as the Beatles compared to Katy Perry. We used these known celebrities to compare the image side of music to the arty side to put across our main idea. We took into consideration language used in our film therefore “beeped” our course language encase of younger ages being at the festival. “Just what an art form needs” is appropriate for the festival and should be shown because we want and need to show this view and change to society. Music is a big part of society and I want to show how the changes of society such as image being so important has replaced music and that it isn’t about the music anymore. I want to make people think about this and realise what has it come down to.

Conventions used + Style

STYLE OF DOCO (You will need to discuss mood, structure, pace and documentary mode(s).)
The type of documentary we decided to make is expository. We are exposing the truth about what society and why society listens to music. Our mood is serious because we are showing the negatives of the music corporations yet we do have comedic sides almost mocking the corporate side we show. Such as the girls talking about one direction in the vox pops
The four style conventions we used were;
Interviews- we needed interviews to show the two sides we were comparing in our film. It was a way where we could find informative views on music in society but also compare both sides at the same time.
Voice of authority – we used people with a specific occupation relevant to the film and well known in society to interview as they will have more of an impact on societies views than if we just interviewed students at the school
Images and archival footage- we used these images and short clips to back up what people were saying in their interviews and shots we were showing. Such as Deane was talking about one direction therefore we showed a relevant clip of them to highlight points.

5x Genre conventions

Changes made
Voiceover person speaks over other images – we changed this idea to not have the voice over as the sound quality we had may not have been god enough and could of ruined or down graded the film. We however needed to somehow give an idea on what the doco was about simply so we did put in relevant quotes and ideas in the title sequence.
Narration I would like to use narration but try and incorporate it so it is professional and doesn’t come across tacky. Also the sound quality will need to be high as it will make or break the film.

GENRE CONVENTIONS USED
Interview –we changed our ideas about the interviews by removing the idea of interviewing “random students” this is for many reasons but mainly because we want to show our idea sharply and bluntly, by interviewing students we aren’t covering all of our target audience and our purpose we want the audience to understand. Therefore we are having one interview will a musician and an interview with the productions engineer from the radio station Times Fm to contrast the views from music as an art to the corporate tide of music making. We did find a way to keep the interviews with students because it is an important part to keep a mix of age levels for our wide audience to engage to. We put a short segment of small vox pops together of students showing the idea that image is a huge part of music now and this is what we want to subtly hint what we want the audience to think. We also decided not to use ourselves because we wanted it to seem more professional.

Expert – Using the local radio station (Times FM) we are trying to get some connections to famous singers and writers to feature in our doco. This will obviously give our documentary a professional look and because these people have status if they share the same view we can strongly show our point of view. We are using someone from a radio station to show and explain the corporate side of music making as well as trying to find as I said a musician with status to show the arty side of music. This does give the documentary a professional look because we are using well known but local people and names that people can show interest to.

Title – in the brief concept I stated; We will most defiantly be using words and titles in a professional way to inform the audience on what we are showing them. Yet while our film was being made we decided that because we have used physical objects for other titles in our doco we should come up with a name that causes interest for the audience and have that come up in the title sequence yet after a quote and short clip of introducing what the film is about. This is because we wanted ut title to be clear and give a hint of what our documentary was about. Using props or symbols for the title and name meant that it may confuse the audience and we want them to be engaged and interested in our ideas not confused. However we did take the idea of using props and symbols and used it for other opening sequences such as the interviews because it is an interesting way to introduce something and it breaks the scenes up nice and eye catching.

Montage- Will be used a lot because it goes well with the transition of jump cuts that we will use throughout the film. Montage of interviews will be an easy and sharp way to put across our point subtly but well enough so that we can make the audience think a certain way. We will use a montage of commercials of singers as well as small interviews (vox pops)

Live footage- Showing footage of celebrities in advertisements and clips of relevant topics such as comedians talking about musicians. I want to use live footage or relevant clips because breaks the documentary up nicely and keeps it interesting rather than watching the same person and setting talking in an interview so you can edit some small cut away clips that are relevant to what the interviewee is saying. By doing this it also emphasises the idea that you are wanting to highlight and make obvious to the audience.

Stills – we decided to not use any still photos because they didn’t fit in with the way we were editing our film yet we did use a number of times time lapses because they are an eye catching and entertaining thing to watch when listening to an interview or having audio behind. It keeps the audience engaged and adds some surreal footage to the seriousness of the film

Blank screen causes us to pause, think, and reflect on soundtrack or previous images- we will use this sometimes after a segment to let the audience re cap on what they have taken in, it is also a simple way of moving from clip to clip to make the films transitions sharper

Music Music will be a big part of the doco as we will be using music that is relevant and connects to the points being put across as well as music by the people being interviewed.- during interviews with singers we will paly some of there music quietly so that it doesn’t draw attention away from hat the are saying but is relevant to the scene. I feel that it is also nice to have some sort of back track behind some shots to make it more interesting. Yet some shots need to have no music to emphasize a the importance of a point.

Sound effects the previous idea was that we would have some sound effects through the scene transitions. Yet we thought we want the doco to look sharp and professional. Sound effects such as beeping over the curses was used obviously because it will be shown in the media night. We however decided to take the audio from a shot of cars driving in Auckland and softly play that behind the title scene to make it less blank and also space to think.

List of other film effects used;
Angles- less extreme angles than a short film but still unique ones to keep the doco quite interesting
Freeze frames- using this technique to pause on things people have said to add effect and put a point across
Jump cuts (Defiantly)- using to make the documentary look more sharp

Editied Concept and changes

Final concept + changes
DOCO PURPOSE/ DOCO CONCEPT
We will use videos and footage such as bill hicks shown in our opening scene as well as interviews with the corporate side of music (Times fm) and the art side (Kora) to question and discuss the idea of music as an art form or if its only about image and money. Along with interviewing the two sides we will have small interviews with the younger age groups to discuss their taste in music and the idea of image. By image I am meaning popularity but mostly the image of the artist such as “are they attractive.” We asked this to students, radio hosts and band members to put the idea of it not being about the music any more across.
CHANGES WE MADE TO OUR CONCEPT – Our previous concept for our documentary was similar to this one except it was based majorly on how “easy it is to make a song.” It was also souley on comparing music tastes. We changed our concept as we were researching and making the film as it gave a more bold approach and outcome. We had all of the ideas already there and people to make it work such as Laughton from Kora and Deane McGovern from times fm. We used vox pops in the middle of each interview to show how the younger generations taste is basically whats on the “Top 40” as well as them knowing they like the music because the musician in “hot”and that the music’s “catchy”. Due to us having these small interviews with the younger generation it still shows the idea of repetitive music and music not actually being an art anymore. We show off the idea of pop music and music in general being corporatized using the Pepsi commercials but also having the “old classics” being talked about.
FINAL TARGET AUDIENCE
Due to our documentary having a wide topic it can appeal to anyone and any age group therefore to cater for and entertain each possible demographic we have made sure to feature the younger age group of students aged from 12-18 years old as well as having the interview with Deane McGovern (Times FM) and Laughton From the band Kora.
We show both male and female during our vox pops and a variety of age groups. Obviously we are creating this doco to put across our idea therefore we want as many people to be able to watch it and be entertained yet see what is trying to be put across.
CHANGES MADE TO THE TARGET AUDIENCE – In the previous draft target audience I stated that we would make our documentary for a very young audience to an older audience such as 9 years old to say 80 years old. Now that our documentary idea has been changed and other ideas put in also the mood of our documentary and the out come we can now give a specific age which is from school students aged from 12 to eighteen as well as an older audience of young adults (20’s) and teachers, parents and some of the interviewees we have featured. I also stated in a moderated version of the target audience work that our documentary would ‘feature a lot of different styles of music” and that it would help the documentary appeal to different peoples tastes. We have background music for most of the interviews and behind other clips shown but this music we have changed to relate more to the mood of our documentary rather just playing random music that would be distracting and have no purpose. However to try and keep the audience appealed and help them to relate to artists they enjoy we do have and feature clips of popular bands, interviewees discussing known artists and the vox pops (short montage of clips) of people naming artists of their favourite choice.

Old Concepts 1 &2

Brief Concept #1
Using media and tv footage, videos and audio clips to show the audience how modern day music is made, thought of and compared to other generations music. It will explore the creation and ease of making these songs, why people enjoy this type of pop music so much and compare it to others who still relate to older music.
*Comparing opinions
*Exploring how the music’s made
BRIEF PURPOSE #1
The message and idea this doco if trying to put forward is how easy it is to make a song even though songs these days are just repetitive beats and lyrics. I want to compare the thoughts of teens and adults as well as going behind the scenes at a local radio station to show the public how what we listen to is chosen. I also want to see if music in this generation had as big an impact as when Michael Jackson and the Beatles ect were popular.
BRIEF TARGET AUDIENCE #1
This documentary is aimed at society as a whole and basically its thoughts on music in this day an age. The documentary is targeting the younger generations as well as from 18 to 50 years. I think by using a lot of modern day music as well as local features and also a wide range of artists it can open up a wider target audience, thus benefiting the documentary as if will make a bigger effect on society and get the message across while fulfilling its purpose.
Things that may affect the making of the documentary- BRIEF PROBLEMS #1
• Time- We have limited time to make it, we do have the odd filming day the school provides for us but to fulfil what we personally want we will need to set frequent times to meet up and work on the film

• Research- read up on and find information about various artists and songs, maybe opinions that have been said by different musicians

• Locations- We will be shooting most scenes locally at Orewa College, the local radio station(Times fm) and homes.

• Equipment- We are a group of two and I have my own personal camera as well as having one available at the school along with other equipment and my other group member having a camera and equipment himself

• Graphics and special effects? – Special effects such as movie transitions and sound effects will be used and gotten from our editing software along with clips taken from the internet and media which we will gain consent for.

• Some problems we may have would be transport as we would need to rely on parents or public transport unless we could walk to our destination

IMPROVED TARGET AUDIENCE #2
Working from advise given- TARGET AUDIENCE
Remember the audience will be a variety of different people, ages and demographics.
Will this appeal to all of them?
Because this doco is focusing on such a broad topic we can manipulate it into fitting into a lot of different age groups. Such as interviewing a wide range of age groups, from say my little brothers age of 10years jumping to teenagers that we can easily use from the school to our connections in the media such as my parents because they work in the media.
Also talking about ages and different people I do realise that everyone has a different taste in music and because we are focusing on it w will be showing a lot of different styles which may or may not suit everyone but its the idea we are trying to make not trying to please everyones taste. I think that by showing all of these different artists and styles and the corporate side of music that it will interest almost everyone especially is we target it in an interesting way not just interviewing people. (Thus why we will use cuts from adds and clips in the media)
IMPROVED PURPOSE OF FILM #2
The message and idea this doco if trying to put forward is how easy it is to make a song even though songs these days are just repetitive beats and lyrics. I want to compare the thoughts of teens and adults as well as going behind the scenes at a local radio station to show the public how what we listen to is chosen. I also want to see if music in this generation had as big an impact as when Michael Jackson and the Beatles ect were popular.
Using media and TV footage, videos and audio clips; Specifically artists with major differences such as Justin Bieber and the Beatles compare the differences between “Passion” and “Show business”. Using clips of Bill hicks (Comedian) news footage of upcoming tours ect to obviously keep the audience entertained and have a variety of interesting videos. Using clips from the media such as adds celebrities are in and opinions to show the corporate side of society as well as a wide range of opinions. Whether “Beiber” Is putting his heart and soul into his music for fans to connect with or he is just in it for the fame and money? Is pop musicians music just a company gimmick to produce catchy songs that will date fast but make money? I want to put out these messages to the public and make them personally think.
IMPROVED Concept #2

How will you go about showing how music is made?
We have a lot of connections such as my parents in media which I will talk about further down and my partner Charlie is a musician himself along with others from the school. They have a lot of equipment and have the “Know how’s” to produce music and show us which benefits us a lot as it wont be as time consuming to figure out a way to show the audience,
We will try and show how easy it is to create a “catchy song” which we have the skills to do. Also showing how crazy technology is in that you don’t even need to have a person singing anymore you can just create it using software.
How will you get an interview with Times FM?
As I mentioned above I do have connections with times fm. Even if I didn’t I’m sure because they are local we could have but it would have taken a lot more time BUT my dad Deane McGovern is the Productions Engineer for Times FM, The Rock and Radio talk live. All of these stations are under Media works so this includes George FM therefore we could defiantly incorporate them into all of this and have the connections to gain interviews etc. My mum Anna McGovern is the manager of Times FM, The Rock and Radio talk live and has already given us contact details of many people we could interview. We are going to talk to Dean about a whole lot of different things because he has the job of Scheduling the music so we can take a deep look into what does the music have to do to make the cut? And take a look inside the media industry. I think it will bring an interesting view on this topic.

Who will you use to interview about music- can you be more specific? As I said above we are working on interviewing people with status (Who we have connections to) as well as;
• Deane McGovern (Times fm and middle generation)- About his career and the music industry also his views on music in society in this generation
• Students – Their music taste, why they like it? Comparison to others tastes
• Older generation (grandparents) comparison to their taste and music now

Media log

Briar’s Media Log book

Date
What was accomplished? Went well? What could have been improved?

19/5/14 Final planning completed for the filming day. Questions were planned out, Briar & Charlie completed the interview planner and ideas of shots to do and where to go for the filming day. What to do if bad weather happened. Daniel worked on contacting Kora and worked on sequence breakdown for draft check point.
I worked on where to shoot for Auckland and beginning the production schedule.

21/5/14 Charlie & Briar bussed into Auckland, the bus was a good way of transport and everything transport wise went well. We got a number of establishing shots in music stores (relating to our documentary). Played with different camera shots such as time laps of people walking with us being in the shot as well. We got an interview and shots of a street performer (refused to be interviewed and would rather “speak through his music”) We wanted to do a time laps of Auckland sky etc but the weather was bad and lighting was poor and dull so instead we improvised and got many good shots needed such as the interview with the “waiting for the bus” man. As a whole the trip went well and we got a lot done as well as more planning. Charlie began editing the footage from that day later tonight.

26/5/14 I created a group log book for the group, reflecting on trip into Auckland and draft check point work being printed and added to hand in. Daniel working on sequence break down, adding interviewees into and more shots of what was accomplished in Auckland. Charlie working on editing and working with footage we have taken. I added to my personal work and production schedule as well as coming up with ideas for the doco.
4/6/14 4:00pm – 6:00pm filmed at times fm Orewa. Charlie, Daniel and I got many establishing shots I also managed to organise an interview with promotional manager Lia Shelford. We had planned an interview with Deane McGovern and he was very helpful, when we interviewed Lia she was good to show the corporate side as well as dean’s side. The filming time as a whole was great we developed clear ideas of what we wanted and all interviewees answered what we wanted. We could have had more time for filming yet we could only organise to come after school but we had everything planned and used the time effectively. I got release forms and interview planners done with Charlie for Lia and Deane
12/6/14 2nd trip to Auckland. This time we got driven therefore arrived quicker than we would have on the bus. We left school at 1:30pm and stayed in Auckland filming until 7pm. We went to “real groovy” and around queen street finding various street performers and a marching band. Along with music posters and shops.
17/6/14 Planning filming for the vox pops this week and editing the footage we already have to save the footage we want.
19/6/14 During lunch time at school 1:25-2:10pm we filmed vox pops. I was sick for the first set the previous time my group went out but was here for these ones. We interviewed younger students from mrs whites class. They were reasonably helpful for showing the corporate side of music as they liked all the latest hits and some things they were saying were “unintelligent”. What went well was the access we were given to using the students and the range of music types liked yet because the students didn’t want to sound stupid they weren’t as truthful as we wanted them to be also they were trying to sound smart which came across as they were scripted. Therefore we can’t really use that footage as we want a bold, natural look to our doco
20/6/14 Daniel and Charlie came over to mine from around 4:30pm until midnight to edit the footage and film we have so far. We got the intro segment and the first interview completed. We changed the first segment a lot to try and make it as bold as we could
23/6/14 Our whole group began adding to our logs and reviewing the progress we made. I made a to do list for everyone and worked out who needed to complete what so we all knew what needed to be done.
24/6/14 Planning for after school editing, I worked on helping editing, pitching ideas, adding to my log the production schedule and contingency plan.
25/6/14 Working on written work After school editing
27/6/14 Planning for editing afternoon and written work during class
30/6/14 After school editing, Charlie and I stayed after school to edit our film
1/7/14 Added to blog, worked on contingency plan to add more detail
2/7/14 Editing after school and during study period with Charlie to finish the final film before exporting
3/7/14 Finished and exported the final documentary – written work due date got postponed until the 21st of July so I will continue group and personal work will

6/7/14
Made a TODO list and set days for what I would work on. Also emailed the members of my group a TODO list reminding them of what needed to be completed for our groups work. Started doing the final treatment and concept on my blog, writing changes the group and I had made to our film.

11/7/14
Began going through my personal blog figuring out what needed to be done
18/7/14 Charlie and I got together to complete some group work together and help each other with what needed to be done to finalise our blog work.
20/7/14
Finishing all work, reviewing doco and writing a personal evaluation on the doco as an extra

Updated Concept

Due to the members of our group all having different variations of the same concept we have decided to merge all of our ideas together because they portray the one message we are trying to put across.

Basically our final concept will be comparing and exposing the art side of music e.g passion and meaningful lyrics with the corporate side, business and money.

This blog will explain how we will accomplish this as well as updates of our documentary.
