Evaluation of our Video

I recorded last video diary, but in fact that I get stressed I probably write it down for my own good.
As I written down long time ago I take place in team as sound technician and basically I use to record sounds to our documentary but depend on weather and shot which we made we decide to use appropriate music which is the most suitable for that kind of documentary.
Also I suppose to get some job from director, but I didn't have really anything to take or I just forgot, it was long time ago.
Finally we did and correct our documentary what make a good first impression for us, only few weaknesses are visible like Tripod controlling which is a bit dodgy, lightening which we cannot affect on caused by lack of appropriate staff

Strengths are locked in music, interviews, Facts, cutaways, gestures, pictures and credits.

In overall we are thinking that documentary is really done well, we are hoping that everybody else will like it as much as we do it.

Differentce between our Documentary and Other which we watched

In first place we avoid abuse of zoom in and out to get people bored to the death, we used suitable soundtrack. Also we add nice transition between nice looking cut aways and we did really interesting interview.
Whole documentary style is Participatory what make our documentary a lot modern and interesting.

What changes has been made from original plan

Our original plan has mainly be about ghosts, haunted places and possesed people, unless with not enough good sources and places where we could just hear about ghosts. That's push us to change those plans on documentary based on knowledge and sources about people living upstairs and downstairs. Also in stories told by national trust company which took over Blickling Hall under their wings of care, we heard few stories about ghosts, but we stay with Blibkling Hall history and people living there as main point of documentary.

Soundtracks - Why and from Where...

For further Soundtracks planning and I decide use some classic music like Antonion's Vivaldi - Spring or For Eliz by Ludwig van Beethoven. I picked these soundtracks because they are suitable for Old Blickling, and we can hear them in others Documentaries.

Source of these soundtracks is Youtube in real world it would be a copyright problem, but for school project it cause no harm :3
Also I recorded singing birds outside Blickling building ;)

National Trust Documentary

National Trust documentary done since 4 years ago has to interest people to visit this old place, unless techniques used to interest potential watching people killing them with borring waves, it caused by old fashioned techniques. Director used loads of Zoom outs and voice over with sudden change from male voice over on female voice, as a informational documentary is deadly boring and most people want to go to the Blickling Hall and gather some knoledge by them selves with no risk to be bored to the death by documentary.

Evidence of Operations Done to our Documentary


Our proposal for has been done to split whole documentary work on each group member to set for everyone something to do.
Above and below I've put my own notes which are know now as evidence of our research, those two are my own individual research which has to be done by every single group member to use them later.



Two other piece of paper are representing my preparing for recording and how I will use the wild tracks in our documentary, and in which scene to get good effect.
