Preliminary Task: Editing

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro for my editing and I finalized and published it off of IMovie onto YouTube. I am editing using mainly Adobe because I used this editing software for my Film Noir last year and is a very high-quality editing software so I can trust it to produce the highest quality of editing, however, I finished the editing on iMovie due to a lack of time management when filming.

Documentary poster analysis 'ONE OF US'

I have analyzed this Documentary poster due to it having a relative topic to mine which is the topic of Religion. I have taken a few things from this cover that I could apply to my poster for my Documentary. For example, the catchy, simple title which has many meanings, the classical Hasidic Jewish clothing and styles being implicated into the central image.

Overcoming an incident with the help from my teachers

Today in Mrs. McClelland's classroom, Mr. Davies helped me with troubles with the camera that I had never experienced before. The SD card was locked, and the camera wouldn't let me film anything on it so I went and asked Mr. Davies and he stated the problem and gave me the advice to unlock the SD card. And you do that by toggling with the switch on the SD card itself to unlock it so I can now access and film with it.

Pitch: My Documentary

Introducing Ellesmere College a Christian school for British and international students. Showing the Christian aspects in an Expository mode style, with long shots that pan and close-ups that zoom with a narration speaking on the images shown like the organs, the mother chapel, the chapel, the anti chapel, the lunch hall, the main hall, the Chaplain, etc. Then I will introduce Saud, my controversial character in this documentary to juxtapose my first subject due to Saud being a Muslim and attending a Christian school and living in it for more than half the year. His full name is Mohammed Saud Israr is a Muslim teen boy Doha, Qatar and he is in year 12, his first year of A-levels, and has to attend chapel twice a week and carol services too even tho it is not his faith. this is what I will be interviewing him about, also about how he fits in his prayers into his busy school day schedule and also what it's like for his roommate Vincent to have him practice his worshiping whilst in the same room. I will take some over the shoulder shots of Saud with the football squad he plays with and also some shots of St Bedes with all the boys involved in the life of Bedes boarding house.

final product ideas: Main question ideas

1. How does a Christian foundation school incorporate those of other religions?

2. What is the experience of a Muslim in a Christian school?

3. Why would a Muslim family possibly send their child or children to a British Christian boarding school?

4. How does a Muslim boy adopt a Christian culture?

I found these 4 questions very good topic questions due to them allowing me to have access to a lot of things to explain, and I can also narrow that down to 5 minutes too. The work I will have to do to revolve everything in my documentary will have to be based around the question I pick. Therefore I will need to shape questions, shot types, objects I film, etc.

A Prezi on documentary broadcasters in Britain

Below is the link to a Prezi I have made on some of the British Documentary broadcasters. I have made this for research purposes to see which Broadcaster my Documentary would best fit under.
