Evaluation of my storyboard

I presented many diverse shots such as, close up, extreme close up, long shots, panning shots, high shots, low shots. I think this was effective as it built up a tense atmosphere and made my documentary more authentic by using shots that many of my inspired documentary examples use. I contrast close up shots and long shots because it creates suspension for the audience seeing conflicting shots of the prisoner's zoomed in face to a shot of the mise en scene to a long shot of the prisoner sitting in a isolated room. I decided to use a variety of shots exposing the harsh location and environment because it presents to the audience the harsh realities of prison life. I show different angles especially when it is shots of the prisoner in the interview because it characterises the prisoner in different light e.g. conveying her as evil and dominant or as vulnerable and suffering. 

 After creating my storyboard I decided that I wanted to do my interview with a black green screen as my background because I think it would look more professional and would match a crime documentary setting more. I think it would look more effective and realistic as many professional crime documentaries use a green screen to interview people. I may add shots of the canteen to portray that that's the prison's canteen and that is where the interview will be taking place. To improve the storyboard I would of added shots of the prisoner in front of a black green screen.
Also, due to permission for filming from the prison being too late so I may film at a nearby location near me that looks abandoned and a old prison.

    The detail in your storyboard is excellent Tillie, don't forget you also need this as an animatic. You can edit this together using the macs or just windows movie maker if a simple format would work for you.

Evaluation: Magazine Listing

Evaluation: medium? How is it original? Background For the background on the first page of my magazine listing I used a photo of graffiti on a wall because I feel as though it links in with the themes of crime, corruption, wrong, rights and restrictions in society. In addition, the colours of the background are neutral tones and not too bold therefore, doesn't affect the visibility of the text for the reader. I think the colours of the background go really well with the text because it is mostly light grey/white with areas of bright colours highlighting the black text. At the bottom of the listing, I created the title 'Secrets Of A Serial Killer' in vibrant red font, which is boldly standing out from the listing as well as not covering the text. I think this adds a creepy and menacing element to the listing linking to my theme. Main image  I chose a picture of the prisoner I'm using in the documentary because I feel as though it captures the priso...

Production update

Document what you have done and when as you film/edit supported with pictures/ screenshots/ snippets of footage. After filming the interview shots I have filmed the interview section shots at the weekend, I have 30 minutes worth of footage that I have edited down to 3 minutes. I am going to combine the extra shots I have edited out of my documentary into a blooper/extra film. I think the interview shots went well as we did them all within two days of filming. Also, the acting and dramatic effect I wanted to portray went as I wanted it to go. Before filming the locations shots: I am going to start filming the location shots this weekend, I have chosen to film at a old prison- looking place near me as Bedford prison still hasn't got back to me. In terms of what I am filming this weekend; I am going to film the whole building in a long shot, close ups, low angle and the surroundings e.g. the forestry area around it and the gates. If the permission...
