Week 7

 This week we finally went to film the interview with the pharmacist, however when we got back to the editing suite and watched the footage we found that the lighting was bad and so was the framing as the room we used to interview was really small so as the camera person i found it quite difficult to follow the rule of thirds. We did get good cutaways from that location so we are going to include those in the documentary and hopefully our second interview with the second pharmacist goes well. To ensure that there aren't any problems we will go to the location to make sure the lighting and everything is good so that we can film the interview successfully.

 We hope to have finished filming all our interviews and a majority of our cut-aways by the 8th of November, this way we can get started on the final drafts of our posters and our radio trailers. Also as next week is half-term we hope to finish everything on our blog and i will be changing the blog layout once again as i feel i can create a better layout than the one we have now.

Newspapers,Statistics and Graphs - (Victoria Nwaeze)

 Here are a few articles, graphs, newspapers and statistics we have looked into, in relation to our subject matter. As a group we were also thinking of adding some of these into our actual documentary as these articles, newspapers, statistics ect are quite informative, which is the category our documentary falls into.
Contraception newspapers, articles and statistics

BBFC (Victoria Nwaeze)

Every production needs an age certification. This is were the BBFC falls into it, the "British Board Of Film Classification" sets out rules and regulations in which one has to abide by when choosing an age classification suitable for their production, in our case, documentary.

The BBFC states that when you are choosing an age certificate for your production you have to take in consideration :

Discrimination
Nudity
Drugs
Horror
Imitable behaviour
Sex
Language
Theme
violence

For this documentary "Young people and contraception-Is it right?" we have chosen to use the age certificate of 12, we came to this decision by taking into consideration the BBFC standards and our targeted audience which is 13-19. In relation with our target audience we thought 12 will be the best, even though we are not targeting 12 year olds, having looked at the BBFC standards of a 12 certificate we feel the content of our documentary matches the criteria, also as the next step up would have been 15 which was not realy appropriate.

Criteria of the certification 12 according to the BBFC


Discrimination
Discriminatory language or behaviour must not be
endorsed by the work as a whole. Aggressive
discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely
to be acceptable unless clearly condemned.

Drugs
Any misuse of drugs must be infrequent and shouldnot be glamorised or give instructional detail.

Horror
Moderate physical and psychological threat may bepermitted, provided disturbing sequences are not
frequent or sustained.

Imitable behaviour
Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide andself-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied, or appear pain or harm free. Easily accessible
weapons should not be glamorised.

Language
Moderate language is allowed. The use of strong language (for example, ‘fuck’) must be infrequent.

Nudity
Nudity is allowed, but in a sexual context must be brief and discreet.

Sex
Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed.Sex references should not go beyond what is suitable foryoung teenagers. Frequent crude references are unlikely to be acceptable.

Theme
Mature themes are acceptable, but their treatment must be suitable for young teenagers.

Violence
Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood,but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context.
violence. Sexual violence may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated, and must have a strong contextual

Week 6


 So far this week we filmed a woman who teaches at a secondary school and deals with teenagers. We wanted to get her opinion on the subject matter also we asked if it was required of teachers to provide students with contraception. The interview was very successful and everything went according to plan. Due to some unforeseen circumstances we were unable to interview the pharmacist this week however we have rescheduled the interview for next week. In addition to this we carried on doing more work on our blog and i changed the layout as i didn't think it related to our subject matter.

 By next week we hope to interview a nurse who works with young people and two pharmacists with opposing views on our subject matter,

Similar Documentaries (Abigail Odum)

This video is quite similar to what we wish to do in our documentary. It shows young people and people who work in the health sector talking about contraception. There are some cutaways when people are talking however it doesn't really follow the format/conventions of a documentary.

In addition to this there is a crucial element missing in the video which is a voice-over as it binds everything together and helps the audience gain a deeper understanding. We will be including a voice-over in our documentary also we will include graphics and cutaways.

The framing has not been executed in the correct way, we have been watching some documentarys online and they have given us many ideas of how we want our interviews to be framed. The video is very simple and straight to the point this is a technique we will be using in our documentary as we want to keep our audience engaged throughout our documentary.

Sound Track (Kafayat Shonubi)

5 Audio Track by abiolavick321

 This is the sound we have picked to use in our documentary as we would be using one sound throughout. We as a group chose this sound from an album named "Late Night Session" track 5 because we think it is best suited for our documentary. As our documentary is about young people and contraception we had to find a slow sound that would flow with the task. We believe this would have a great impact on our audience because the album name really relates to our topic and we believe it is going to attract our audiences because we got their opinion of what they think about the sound been heard in our documentary and we got a positive reply.

Week 5


 We got in contact with a pregnant teenager and she seemed very enthusiastic about the interview and she agreed for us to interview her. We filmed the interview and she spoke about how she learnt about contraception and her personal views on young people and contraception. We learnt a lot through this interview and we logged and captured all the footage.

 By next week we hope to have plenty more cutaways and also more newspaper articles about our subject. We also hope to interview the mother of a teenager and also a pharmacist who works with the YPF.

 This is the logo we would be using in our documentary. The logo stands for Havering College TV. This is an abbreviation of The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). We have designed our logo too look like BBC as it is the most popular logo and because it helps our audiences know what it is and it also helps us because we know our audiences understand what we are trying to portray to them. This logo would be placed on the top left corner of our documentary.

Week 4

 This week we carried on working on our blog and finding out some research for our documentary. We interviewed Natilee successfully and we hope to get two more interviews done by next week. This will give Kafayat a lot of footage to edit in the editing suite.

 By next week we hope to have cut-aways of Frances Bardsley school and other secondary schools. We also hope to do some more blog work and get everything on our blog up to date.

Font (Kafayat Shonubi)

 I have watched several documentaries to see the ways in which fonts are used. This is to be able to produce my documentary to the standard of national TV documentaries. Most documentaries I've watched used the font 'Helvetica'.

 Today Helvetica the typeface is everywhere: metro signs, airline logos, street ads, T-shirts, office software. When researching about this font i also found out that the font has a documentary of it own. Most of the websites i looked at stated that "Helvetica is among the most widely used sans-serif typefaces". I will be using this particular font in my documentary.
