First Planning Meeting

Job Roles: Our group have splitted work for everyone, Our Team Purple Director will be leanne depned on her good orginising skills, Presenter Ines and Daniel be cause their ambitions and biggest experience in playing and showing on camera screen make them take this job, Paige will work as Camera Woman in fact she's got biggest experience to work with valuable, soft, electricial staff, also she know how record xD.
I decide to work as Sound Technician and Montage Crew be cause I've got lots of experience with montaging and adding sounds those skills can be seen on youtube by watching "TF2 Meet the =[Diabolic Team]=" or "Pump it" or if you understand polish "Meet the Spy PL"

Reason why we chose this positions in this documentary is depend on our personality in some way, I mean that I would not to be a presenter be cause in fact I'm horrible shy and I getting stressed as fast as possible in high pressure situation like "Acting" or "Presenting" other way I don't like it... Honestly Daniel chose to be presenter in fact he "don't care" who he will be but Ines want to be presenter depending on her enthusiasm, in other work she could die from boring work, Leanne reson to be scripter and Director is be cause she "loves writing" but in other role she could be as good as she is good now, but someone have to take Director and script job... don't?

As a Group we set ideas in different colours which represent 'Thinking Hats' Green as Initial Ideas - Primary ideas, Grey as Facts - Facts carring with ideas, Red as Feelings/Emotions - What we like or dislike, Blue as Organising - To set what we have, what we need, what need to take care of, Black as Problems - giving us sceptic view of situations which may happen, Orange as Positives - to think about Shiny side of work we plan to do.
Our decision is to work with Primary idea about Ghosts especialy be cause we like this idea but we need still think about additional sources to fill up the gaps in this project otherwise we gonna change idea on named PLAN B idea is about "Gardens and difference between Upstairs and Downstairs."

In our documentary we will include loads of shots, with establishing one, with suitable sounds, as profesional as possible crew teamwork, we expecting lots of cutaways, interviews if any will happen also with suitable techniques like "noddies" or "two shots" and others. We have to disscuss about this but we may be include some gags or outtake in same documentary to show how fun it was for us or in different movie clip.

Summarise and Comparison of Three Documentary Styles.

The three styles of filming interviews are Observational in which are people recorded during answering on questione they heard or they are just talk about something with no presenter or narrator but it has voice over also everysingle person is filmed by rule of thirds. Expository also voice over and many kind of shots like in observational like mid-shot, long shot and both are non-intrusive but is using also something what is called Nose, Head and Hand room where some spaces have to be cutted or avoided during recording like space above head or hold hands to do not break the recording image and Nose room which have to guide from which position head could be recorded to get right effect. Participatory is kind of documentary which had most of thing which never exist in Expository or
Observational and that is Narrator or Presenter which go everywhere with camera man and meet many people and ask them questions which most audience want to ask. Also in this documentary Presenter gain answers and also show his own responses on how people behave around like he can be affraid or something can make him/her laugh or cry. And only that kind of documentary can show noddies. Whole different between them three is not big it's just in few different techniques they are use like in one you can see mid-shots and long shots in other we can find noddies in another just talking people with voice over. All that stuff change audience vision for documentary depends what that documentary has to share with audience then is choosing best style. Personaly I like them all, it's really nice and easy to watch.

What is Participatory Documentary and how it works

The Participatory Mode (the encounter between film-maker and subject is recorded, as the film-maker actively engages with the situation they are documenting, asking questions of their subjects, sharing experiences with them. Heavily reliant on the honesty of witnesses) - Definition

Participatory cinema tries to involve a film's community in the process of making movies, rather than interaction being left to cinema viewers at the end of the process. The organizers of participatory cinema open up cinema showings and the cinema production process for non professionals. - Wikipedia

Participatory documentaries include RiP!: A Remix Manifesto.

When Louis met the Humiltons Family


Partycipatory Documentary is one of documentaries where presenter and object are main element of film. Louis' programme i which he met many different people gives us perfect example of participatory documenatary in one of his films he I could say risk his life, during meeting with skinheads which hates jewish... and I supose he is jewish. To film When Louis met the Nazi they used few techniques of film making like: Presenter, Music in background few times, Handheld camera, Two shots, Over shoulder shot, Head room (which I spotted) Narrator/Voice over also establishing shot. His documentary was about few people of millions from america very proud of their racist views which they teach it their children.

Establishing shot and Cutaway

Establishing Shot

In film and television, an establishing shot sets up, or "establishes", a scene's setting and/or its participants. Typically it is a shot at the beginning (or, occasionally, end) of a scene indicating where, and sometimes when, the remainder of the scene takes place.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Establishing_shot

It make clear for audience where the place is in city, country or space, depends on film or television program.

'I swear I can't help it'

[ http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/expository - 'of the nature of exposition; serving to expound, set forth, or explain' ]
Expository documentary use any kind of intereaction of narrator, like voice over and giving comments or/and views of audience. The voice over in most documentaries sounds like god's speak and try explain what we see and make it more clearly.

'I Swear I can't Help it' is really good example of expository documentary which used many filming techniques like Voice over, mid-shots, moving camera and establish camera, also establishing shot. all of those techniques have to easier explain and make it more clear for audience the story about people with Tourrete Syndrom which I could say push them to tick react which can be appear as strange noises, unnormal moving. In this documentary we will gain some information about their experiences and feeling accompanied with them like shame or angry also sad and lonely.
