Evaluation

When we first started to film our interview, we filmed in front of a window so the camera focused on the light in the background. We changed the background and then started filming as normal, we had to retake a few of the questions but as we progressed it got a lot easier. We followed the codes and conventions of stereotypical documentaries. We used scenery that fitted in with the genre of documentary and it also reinforced what the interviewee was talking about. If we had more time we would have used graphics for name labels and also had a ‘voice of god’. Doing this documentary has made me realise what I would have to do in my actual documentary to make it as I could as I can.
