This is our documentary video we edited using Adobe Premier Pro. The video shows the different codes and conventions used in typical documentaries. As a group we all participated and helped create the video. The documentary included examples like archive clips, interviews, voice overs and different camera shots. We used a variety of equipment like the Nikon cameras and a Dictaphone. I did this work with Ross, Jacob and Jack and we have all uploaded the video onto our blog.
Pros
There were many positives when creating our documentaries. Interactive documentaries are the most successful as they engage with the audience keeping them interested. When creating the documentary we had a lot of freedom upon choosing what we wanted it to be about. We used a script so we knew what to say, also with a script you can’t ramble off topic and theirs less chance of using fillers as you know what to say so it sounds more professional.
Cons
However there were many negatives like using a script, it can sound very boring reading off a script and you are limited to what you say. Another negative is the sound quality and editing, it doesn't compare to professional ones seen on TV as they have a lot more resources and time. Finding original ideas and recording footage is difficult to do as there are thousands of documentaries already made. Research is also very important in most documentaries because the majority use statistics and facts to make back up there points.
