The Voiceover For The Documentary

Here is a video which explains which parts of the voiceover will go where in the documentary.

  

Edit Decision List

After filming and capturing all the footage needed for our documentary, we had to decide which shots we are going to use so we recorded this information in order on these edit decision sheets.

Logging Sheets

As part of the construction for the documentary, we captured all the footage that we filmed on to the PC and logged it all on these logging sheets.

Filming-Interview with Psychology Teacher

Similarly to the interview with the hypnotherapist, the interview with the psychologist was also filmed in big close up because we couldn't find a really good mise en scene. The answers he gave us were very detailed and we have an idea of how to link one of his answers with one of the answers from the interview with the people afraid of spiders.

Filming of Fears for Montage

My group went to New Brighton to film footage for the montage that we will use at the beginning of the documentary, such as seagulls, ducks and the beach. I filmed the tarantula for the opening title sequence and my neighbour let me film more footage of the tarantula in his house to use as cutaways for the interview with people afraid of spiders.

Filming- Fear of Spiders Interviews

This interview with 3 people afraid of spiders was not bad. We used two cameras; one to film the interview and another to film the cutaways such as a close up of the interviewee's eyes or hands shaking. However, we know that we can do better, therefore we will film people afraid of spiders another time and use a better mise en scene that will not distract the audience because in these interviews, the door was in the frame.

Filming- Fear of Tall Buildings Interview and Voxpops

We filmed the interview with Aislynn about her fear of tall buildings. As you can see, we've chosen to film her outside the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool, therefore this mise en scene clearly illustrates what she's talking about. Also, during the journey to Liverpool, we filmed her on the bus as she talked about how she feels about going to face her fear and we the interview with her was really good as she answered in detail. Also, we filmed footage of tall buildings in Liverpool such as the Radio City tower and different types of shots of the cathedral itself. Furthermore, we filmed the voxpops outside the train station and in the centre of Liverpool and was pleased with the variety of answers we received which we will include in our documentary.

Filming- Interview with Hypnotherapist

During the interview with the hypnotherapist, we used a medium close up and framed him to the right, but then we realised the mise en scene was not good because it does not convey his work place very well. Therefore, we filmed him in big close up which we thought is better because it means that only his face is in focus and no disctractions in the background. As you can see we've set up the DV camera like this and we've made him sit in a comfortable stationary chair.

Filming- Petshop

We went to the petshop and filmed footage of animals, such as lizards and spiders, but mainly snakes and mice. We will use this footage in the montage or cutaways during the interviews. We filmed close ups, big closeups and zooming in and out.
