Documentary Storytelling

Week 4(16-10-2017)

At the most basic, a story is from beginning,middle and the end. There are another arranges: middle, the end and beginning, the end, middle and beginning. It can engage the audience’s emotion and make them went to know what happen is the next shoot and will be occur. The theme of the documentary is important which is the basic thing and it appears in the documentary repeatedly.    Everyone need to understand the theme even audience, director or photograph. For instance, photograph can know how and what angle are the prefer match of the screen. Characters are important ‘material’ of the film, but documentaries are not. Since most of the documentary prefer to use the real people of the event. Also, music and sound effect are important. Music and sound effect are directly give the emotion to audience.For example, when people listen some sound effect, people can know that this section are the nervous screen. Rule of third are separate to three sections of the screen. And the main character can keep in the eyeliner in the screen. Additional, people can stand int he same side who have the same viewpoint, and people have different view of the theme of documentary can stand in the opposite side. It can give the messages to the audience that they are different views. Natural transition is mean from one shoot to another shoot. Deep to black and deep to white are common since not all the effect are suitable for the documentary. The other is that zoom in the camera into one things in the location or color and than zoom out the camera in other location.That can be a good choice of effect of transition. Furthermore, we filmed some shoot again and finished re-edited the 1 minute video this week.
