INT- BEDROOM-NIGHT TIME  "Fucking shit god damn it!" Tyler exclaims as the pressure of time begins to press down on him. The knowledge that his story is due in tomorrow, and he has fuck all to hand in. Desperately, he grabs at a discarded Freddo packet. Tyler stares with great intent into the mind of the Freddo, in a ill thought out attempt for some last minute inspiration, as honest a try as it may have been, little Freddbert refuses to give up his secrets of being a well thought out character, with intricate emotional scarring and a developed love triangle, so emotionally taxing, that if anyone were to ever hear of the tale, they would break down immediately into tears, and would eventually die of dehydration. Angrily, Tyler throws the packaging at the wall on the opposite end of his room, only for it to gently flutter down to the carpeting besides his feet. He stares despondently at the packaging, contemplating what his life has become, wondering if he's  finally been...

Whilst planning my own documentary, I have trying to pay attention to the formatting and presentation styles featured throughout documentaries that I have seen, and though there have been a number of documentaries that I have had issues with for various reasons over the years, I had never actually encountered one which I felt was hurt by its presentation. However, I finally got around to watching 'Searching for the Sugar Man'. The documentary is centred on an artist known as Sixto Rodriguez: compared to Dylan, a man who supposedly shot himself on stage, covered himself in petrol and set himself on fire, said to have overdosed in prison, wrote songs which became the anthems to anti-apartheid protests, gold record sales without so much as a penny making its way to him. And yet the documentary on all of this bored me immensely, with all of these intriguing points, the documentary makers seemed to skip over it all and focus solely on their love for the artist.

-When writing questions for a documentary it is important to consider open and closed questioning. Closed questions require simple 'yes or no' answers, these are not very good for in depth interview, though closed questions may serve to open up new topics. For interviews and documentaries, it is far better to come up with open questions, these require more thought out answers and can often lead to further questioning. - -The way in which an interview is recorded also plays a part in how effective an interview can be. For each of Louis' documentaries, he is always out on location, filming on the interviewee's turf, never at a film studio or set, it is always up to those he is interviewing as to where they film. This approach not only gives off a more casual look to the documentary, but will also add to the interviewee feeling as though they are in a comfortable space to talk/that they are in control, and as such can feel free to say what they really feel. It is this th...

Task 1 Part A Studio setup and multi-camera use in soap operas and how they affect the efficiency of production.-  Due to soap operas airing daily instead of weekly like most television shows, efficiency of shooting is very important. Lighting plays a key part of adding depth to filmed scenes, and most TV shows and movies use three point lighting to add a different definition to the background and characters, but three point lighting takes time to set up, and has to be adjusted between shots and scenes, which of course would add a lot more production time to each episode. Because of this, soap operas will usually have an evenly lit set to save having to set up lighting for each shot. But this leaves the show looking flat and slightly 'off'. Not only is lighting arranged in such a way as to be reusable between scenes to save time on set up/preparation per episode, but soaps also use a static multi camera set up to ensure efficiency. And shooting errors that could occur with p...
