Documentary Project

the final decision me and my group have made about how to go about shooting this documentary is to go with a myth busting theme, by this i mean we are going to take all of the facts we are told by the Medea such as the recession is causing an increase in crime, or the recession is causing people to drink more and consider all these facts just myths, and to find out the truth we are going to see what the general public think. however we will draw no conclusions in the film, we will mealy make a point and get a variety of opinions from various people, it will be the audiences job to draw conclusions.

How i will fulfill my roll as editor

as editor it is difficult to go into great detail at this time about what I'm going to do as i have no footage to work with. however the things i need to make sure of are quick clean cuts between shots keeping everything short and simple, we only have ten Minits to tell the entire story. another thing i need to preconsider is how to visually display data, the link below is to an online tutorial that shows you how to make professional video graphs. i will be using this tutorial and others like it in this project

another way of displaying information i will use are score bordes on the corners of the frame somewhat similar to what game shows use. i will use these score boards to make it easier for the audience to keep track of the differences of opinion when posing a question to random members of the general public.

Recession Busting Sales

the title of the documentary me and my group will produce is Recession busting sales. the angle we intend to take on this is going to be the increase in middle class shoplifting. stealing not to survive, but to maintain a good quality of life with less money. statistics show that shoplifting has increased 20% in the last year and it is believed that this is largely down to the middle class population stealing products such as ipods or even luxury food items to keep up appearances. in my research i found many related articles with headlines such as confessions of a brazen middle class shoplifter and the rise of the middle class shoplifter.

Remember, these are not just any shoplifters, they are M n S shoplifters.
