We were set a new project brief for our Immersion unit which was to in groups create a documentary portrait of a person, a group, community or place. So instead of looking at ourselves this time we are focusing on someone/something else. We have to use documentary elements such as synch interviews and observed filming and also a mixture of diegetic and non diegetic sound. However we do not want to create something that strictly follows conventions and we are allowed to experiment and mix it up as well.
The Documentary Genre is a broad one anyway which in itself has a lot of sub genres and many different ways of doing things. This is why firstly in our groups we sat down and brainstormed a list of what we think a documentary is and can be. Here is our list:
It really made me think of all the different possibilities that we have but also what we need to be mindful of when going through the process of making it.
