Katie McCririck - Culture in the Digital Age

First Version:     Second Version: Third Version: Fourth Version: Fifth Version: Music Draft: No Pros and Cons Draft:

I documented my editing process so that I could show the amount of effort that went into making this product as well as the fact it clearly showed off my technical skills which is important as it was one of the main components to the marking scheme.

I made a production diary so I could document when I had doing certain things for my video such as taking videos to use as my footage or different struggles I faced during the making of the product with different equipment, software or even the actor.

I had wanted to do some experimentation with different pieces of hardware so that I had some options with what I could record my documentary with so I had then done some experimentation with a 360 degree camera. I had recorded two videos with this and I had originally finished two different edits however when I had went to include both of the edits however only one could be included as the second edit had corrupted during the exporting process and I was unable to recreate it in time.

To ensure I had proof that the people I included in my documentary gave their consent when it came to working with me, I had made them fill out consent forms so they couldn't suddenly change their mind when it came to being included in my documentary.

To ensure that I had a clear understanding of how I wanted my scenes to play, I made sure to make a basic script. It was short as there wasn't many changed in scenery and my video is fairly basic so there wasn't a need for it to be long and extensive.  I used Celtx to make my script so it matched the professional script format.

I created a Storyboard as it was a vital part of the planning process. It gave me a visual representation of how I wanted my video to play out, scene by scene as well as having some small notes on how I wanted to include a voiceover behind my documentary. It wasn't done well in terms of the art however it gets the point across so I'm happy with it.

I did this task to make it easier for myself when it came to the production stage as filling out this paperwork ensured that I knew where I was recording, when I was supposed to be recording and that I had permission to be recording where I was going to record (which for me, was on campus.)
