Experimental Documentary

In order to get our heads round how the way documentaries are made and the different processes to go through to make a full one, we decided to make a very short, couple of minutes long documentary about shopping. Me and my team mates George, Sophie and Georgia filmed multiple scenes, including of people in the public shopping, and we made up some questions and asked them to people and filmed their responses. We also filmed ourselves asking the questions. We combined these all together in the editing and used a vareity of non diagetic voiceovers and a soundtrack and typing over the scenes to make the final product. This is almost a preliminary film in that we used it to get to grips with how to film a documentary. If we were to do this in future, we would film much longer and ask more questions in order to make it a more insightful and time consuming documentary. Working in a team really worked to our advantage when making this documentary, because people can usually offer you advice that you wouldn't usually think of if you were working on your own.
