Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds mentions that an image should be split into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and those important compositional parts should be placed along these lines or their intersections.It is important to line the body up with a vertical line, and have the person’s eyes along with a horizontal line.

When filming our interviews, we need to follow the rule of thirds allowing adequate looking space and consider the mode of address of our speakers.

Post Documentary Questionnaire/Update

I will use the post documentary questionnaire as part of my audience feedback.

I gathered people to watch the documentary twice. The first was to watch the documentary only, during the second viewing; I asked them to take notes on critical and positive points of the documentary. I collected the notes, and then handed out the questionnaires for them to fill out.

I could have improved my audience feedback by filming the audience state their opinions and suggestions on improving the documentary.

Is University Worth It?

Eventually the documentary is completed. This was a very long, tiring process involving planning, constructing, structuring and merging together. I believe the documentary involves codes and conventions and genre of a public service production. I believe the documentary does inform the audience making the film more engaging. There are numerous ways I can improve the documentary. For example including further balanced fine quality interviews, adding clear, high-quality cutaways and creating more graphs, charts etc to display data. In my opinion the best element of the documentary is the score. The score relates to the documentary in a great way, the debate is on a serious topic; however the score brings more entertainment and energy to the documentary. In addition I like the way on-screen graphics and the title is presented. I think it is creative and unique.
