Documentary Research


So since I changed what I wanted to make my film about and the genre it turns out that I needed to do a bit more research to be able to envision how the film would look. So my teacher sent me some links to a couple documentaries that he thought I would find helpful and I did. So….


This is a documentary called The Secrets of Scientology and what I really found helpful with this documentary was the opening it opens with a voice over while the camera moves between different shots of a man who is in a coffee shop in a London Train station so the camera moves from the cup to the arrivals board and things like that so I think that I am going to have a sequence like that in my film; juxtaposition of shots. Also the use of voice over is quite a common feature of documentaries so I might have a voice over in my documentary.


This is a documentary called Supersize Me and this is a documentary that has a home video kind of feel to it you can imagine that  it was just a few friends who decided to get together and try this experiment and I think that this might be useful for my film.
