Culture of Digital Age Brief

 

AC1: 

Interpret the brief: 

The Clients of this Documentary are called CMP Media and they are requesting that i make a Documentary around the culture of digital age, i have chosen to cover the Star Wars franchise as this topic is good for covering how it has aged over the years such as 1977-2020. The media used for this is mainly social media platforms on the internet such as Twitter and Instagram etc. The Duration of this will be 5-15 minutes long to the maximum time this will possibly the 15 minute time for my documentary as i have a few things to talk to about when it comes to Star Wars. The targeted audience for this documentary is people aged 13-19, this is another great opportunity as people that age are still into Star wars and they will seem to enjoy this type of topic. The type content that will be used in this will be features and facts of Star Wars which will cover parts of each movie and discuss what fans love about them and some of the downsides of the movies and series. The Deadline of this will be January 22nd 2021 next year.

Existing product Analysis: Other Documentaries that cover Star Wars as in more of the behind the scenes type of things. They cover how scenes in the movies are done and how long it took to make the scene and perfect it to their liking. The costumes and props were also covered and this will aid me in making of my own documentary as it will cover a small interview about how a fan of the franchise thinks of it then and now, the other documentary also covered actors that played the characters we all came to know and love in the future of 2020. These scenes of the documentary seem to have slideshows of the people and how they are currently working on how the film or series is being recorded and edited.

Mind Maps: 

Short Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB86pd_VRgc

This Documentary displays many camera angles such as Eye-level and Shoulder-Level type. It also shows the narration of the person speaking which shows us who are the audience that the person is telling us his story and what we should know, the main structure of the documentary goes on as a man is staring up at a building and then it cuts to a child who appears to be running towards the building that we saw before. The main setting of this short documentary appears to be in the UK and which also appears to be London or some place else, The setting seems to be a modern type place which is normal in the UK.. The music appears to be a sad type of style which fits into this documentary as it is a sad documentary.

Short Documentary 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I_kWJ44UXU

This Documentary shows that the person filming it is on a go pro at the start as it then goes into interviews which shows that the camera angles is at shoulder level when it cuts to the interviews, the other angles are high level when it appears at the start. The Narration is subtitled in Japanese as this is filmed in japan as it covers a restaurant owner as he covers the backstory and the other things that go on or have happened. The Structure begins with a go pro as it is edited to detail the surroundings of the area. The setting appears to be in japan as the city and types of people that are Japanese type, then it cuts to a restaurant type of scene as it cuts to the people in it and the restaurant itself. The type of music is appeared to be a calm type as it goes along the film which doesn't change through out the documentary until it actually ends. 

Questionnaire:  

Research: The research was provided was on the websites provided by google and used to make sure that research was accurate for the documentary. The Websites used for this were YouTube and other websites like IMDB which has photos of the behind the scenes in the films. The quantities will be finding the defiant answers for the research i am providing for the documentary, the examples of this will be where did i get this information from and the answer would possibly be websites and the already known knowledge about it. The research collected for this documentary will be displayed for each film as it will take some time to finalise the research to make sure it is correct.

The appropriate time to describe these films are a few minutes for example talk about the ratings of the movies like how the phantom menace was rated 52% on rotten tomatoes and the rise of Skywalker was rated 51% on rotten tomatoes. This research will guarantee facts about star wars and how it was all done in the documentary.

AC2: Problem Solving

Chosen Idea: My chosen idea for this will be the social media for filming as i have covered the idea for them mostly on my mind map as i covered various sites on coggle, describing what to expect during you time on these sites for example you can always expect spoilers from things you enjoy watching that is getting a new movie or series. This impacts the audience as some people do not like to see spoilers and that often causes drama in their communities and normally causes some peoples accounts to be terminated. The content can be practically anything the person desires it to be as it people can see many thing on their chosen site such as Instagram which can show peoples stories of what they are doing or info on something you enjoy doing like a game or movie details and theories. The total duration of this will be a short time as it is a small amount of information about what sites you can normally find these types of content. The media platforms are sites such as Youtube, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and many more where you can find this type of content.

Why i went for a different idea: I decided to go for a different idea because of how i noticed that the recent digital changes in the star wars films during the ages and noticed the change in fans opinions as the films, the age of star wars films has changed rapidly during the years as it started with just the creators using models and now in the recent years its all become CGI with new faces and reappearing ones. some aspects of the first idea is still in this documentary as with the change in fans in opinoins on the new films and what social media platforms you can find these types of things on mostly Instagram and Twitter. I did use the websites i used for research such as IMBD and google, My other mind map expands on my new idea as it shows what fans use to spread their opinions. 

Refine your Idea: The script will be planned on Celtx as that is where you can design a script for projects and other things. The locations for this film will be at the college because of the recording the voice over for the film will have to be here because of nowhere else being available. Interviews will probably not be in my film as it just a talk about the history of Star Wars and how it impacts the audience. Questions for the film will be about how the audience has enjoyed or disliked Star Wars in the coming years such as how people enjoyed Return of the Jedi and how people enjoyed the The Phantom Menace. The equipment will be a simply tripod and camera for if I do interviews because those are needed for what I am making, what will be needed is a computer for editing as it will take some time to finalise the film to make sure its fully done.

Presentation:

Test Footage: 

Equipment: The equipment used were a Dell pc and an editing software called movavi 

How my intro was made: My Intro was a custom made Star Wars intro made on a website known as Maker Moon i used my own words to write out the words as they slowly moved up towards the black then it slowly moves down towards an image of the death Star 

Maker Moon requires you to fill out some tasks, for ecamples the title screen which was called Culture of Digital Age which was the main title of the work, then the description of what is about to happen like in other Star Wars Movies.

Storyboard: 

Proposal: Dear  CMP Media

My name is Mackenzie Todd, the creator of this documentary and my idea is to describe how the star wars films have changed over the years beginning with A New Hope, this shows that I have included everything they need to know about Star wars and the evolution of it in general such as facts features and clips of star wars content such as a person swinging a lightsabre. This will take me a few days to finish the approximate time will possibly in 10 days time as i need to warp up production and starting editing before the due date. I have discussed what will be in the documentary, how long it will be done for and described what how long it will take and if it will be before the deadline.

this documentary will involve every movie of Star Wars and the Clone wars plus the Mandalorian as I will cover some details about them like when they were realised, if fans enjoyed it or not and how they used their opinion on social media sites. 

What Tools were used: The Editing Website i used for making my Documentary is called Movavi, it is like another editing software known as imovie. The tools used for making this were tools like using music that was implanted into the software which helped with introducing the topics explained. Although the action music was used until the end. The Cut to was useful as it got rid of unwanted videos or clips in the documentary, there is also an option in when you click on a certain clip you can change it’s size depending on how long that video/clip is, that was useful in making the documentary. 

Another tool used was a cloning option where you can take a certain clip or music and duplicate it so you can use it again, this was used when making the intros to topics until the end where downloaded music was used.

The Tools used for the Intro for the Documentary was edited on movavi but the other options were cut off like the link to moon maker. The Size option was used as you could change the size of the writing displayed on the screen. 

When are you going to use this in the documentary and why it fits: 

The Intro was a good part of the documentary which shows the creative side like how the star wars intro that was custom made was included in a documentary about Star Wars which shows the idea of whats about to happen in the creation of this documentary. The Music of the intro to star wars was a good fit as it was like watching a film itself. The Intro was made to be the start of the documentary so it will begin at the start as then slowly cuts to the other parts of the film.
