pre-production

To come up with our idea we searched on youtube for ideas and came across a youtube series called my strange addictions. After finding this series we surfed through the videos and their topics and we found one on objectophillia which piqued our interest. The reason we didn’t choose any of their other ideas was that the other videos would mainly go into the health risks and other things that would be caused by the people who are featured in the series. After deciding our topic we started preparing to start making the documentary. To prepare we started writing a small script then afterwards we created a timeline for the first 4 minutes and we researched and completed our research into our topic. then finally we were ready to start filming.

production

To produce our documentary we used an app called premier pro which we used to edit our clips and other things together. this software really worked well for us because it made it very easy for us to create and edit our documentary. To get our clips and other things we used cameras and microphones in order to get footage and to get voiceovers. to reflect on our production process I feel like we came into a lot of issues when it comes to the filming part of the documentary as most of the lessons we sued for filming we either messed around or our use of equipment wasn’t the best. To improve on that we should have made sure that our equipment was always ready to go when we needed it and that it had all the things we required it to.

post-production

one of my group members who was our designated editor edited our documentary. we used functions like voice-over and other things to make sure our documentary was good and worked well. I think our work ethic in this part of the project could have been a lot better as our documentary was sort of unfinished and poorly made. next time that is what we should improve on our work ethics. to improve this I would have made sure that we were all doing something rather than some of us doing the work and others not.

final evaluation

the best aspects of our production are I think our information and how we inform the audience. We needed to improve on our time organization and the length of our documentary as I think that it is a bit short. I learned that staying on task is very important. Next time I would have chosen a different topic and would have improved our work ethic and how we managed our time.
