LO3: Shot log

 

Comparison:

Our Shot log not only tells us the order off the clips for also gives further insight to what we've actually included in documentary. This means that we are able to compare the initial ideas within our storyboard to what we actually filmed, meaning when analysing the two we can decide if anymore special effects should be added or if any more details should be included.

The first significant change we made Was removing the disclaimer from the final edit. This initial idea was generated As we deemed it necessary to add a disclaimer in order to make our audiences aware what type of information is being given. However, due to the distribution of the short film being on social media, we are able to control the demographics of the audience that will be viewing our documentary, more specifically age verification. By doing so also meant that we could include more shot types within our title screen such as the two panning shots, which wouldn't have been included if we added a disclaimer.

Furthermore when filming the documentary, we decided to add more scenes/break the clips down into smaller sections so that we could include more transitional effects in the final edit. This also separated the information so that the content was not confusing And the overall short film flowed more, avoiding the information merging together.

Additionally, the specific shot types when the actors are talking differed from close up to a medium shot. Using a medium shot type allowed more content to be included in the shot itself, most importantly, the hospital can be seen in the background to clarify to the audience where we are and what relevance that has on the documentary itself. If we used a closeup shot,  the setting would not have been predominantly seen and could confuse the audience as unsure as to where we are.

Finally, we decided to remove the voice over to the final image and include text. This meant the content we were producing was presented in various ways and by removing the voice over, an ominous atmosphere was created. This is relevant to the April topic to what the documentary is about and reinforces the relationship between the topic and the mood that we are creating.
