20.4: Feedback and reflection

How successful is your product compared with your original idea ?
I feel that my final product was moderately successful compared to my original idea. Some of the ideas for the reconstration did not work the way I wanted it too, mainly because the editing software I used had a technical issues. My cutaways improved from my original ideas and fit in more efficiently. 

What did your audience samples say about your finished product ?
The audience generally believes my documentary was interesting yet informative. Although one commented that some of the footage is a bit shaky. 

What tasks did you carry out from start to finish ? (Powerpoint)

20.3: Pre-Production

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Storyboards: The first task of my video production project was to create storyboards for my documentary. These storyboards were my ideas for my cutaway sequences. I already had chosen the music for the documentary, so I featured it in the audio chart.  I had also created a storyboard for the reconstruction.

Call Sheets: The call sheets were a task that was completed just before filming. The call sheets are for organising filming times and schedules. Such as, locations, lunch and time arrival and departure. These call sheets were for each day of the filming.

Recce: A Recce is basically a pre-filimg visit to a location to discover weather or not it would be suitable for shooting. For my Recce, I used Google Maps. For my Recce I also mentioned about the lighting information, I had used natural light for my documentary. And had explained about my target audience that are aged from 15 - 65. And are working class, lower middle class and middle class audiences.

Risk Assement

he Murder at Gorse hall

I have read a Wikipedia article about my subject, and I am using it as my first form of secondary research. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_George_Harry_Storrs

The wikipedia articule informes me by using facts and historical evidence. It also gives me a list of petensiol susbects.

Who committed the crime ?

As the two trials resulted in two acquittals, no-one knows for sure. However, there are quite a few suspects :

• James Worrell worked with knives and guns, but had no reason to murder his master.
• Some people felt that James Storrs and/or Maggie Storrs hired a hitman. While James had no real motive, Maggie probably did know about Maria's baby.
• Cornelius had no alibi, but again, had no real reason.
• Mark Wilde had a compelling case against him, even though his mother had given an alibi for him. He suffered from mood swings, possibly caused by syphilis. Although he and George were enemies, Julian Fellowes feels he wouldn't have done it.

A year after the murder, Mrs Storrs had Gorse Hall torn down."

  

     
I have discovred a online video of an educational tour about the Gorse Hall mysetry. I am using this as my first form of Primary Research.

Codes And Conventions: My Documentary Proposal

My Documentary Proposal:

My short film is a one-off crime/mystery documentary. My documentary has a target audience of people aged over fifth teen and is also targeted for people of both genders. This show is also targeted for people under the National Readership Survey social grade such as, skilled working class(C2), middle class (B)and lower middle class (C2).  My documentary will feature interviews from locals and historians. My documentary will also feature recreations of the events leading up to the murder of George Harry Storrs.

• Target Audience
• National Readership Survey
• Interviews
• Recostrutions 
• Cutaways 
• Presenter 
• Archive footage 

Target Audience:  
The Audience can be used as a form of primary research. A Television researcher would study a certain audience to understand what their response was to a program. They do this by creating focus groups or airing pilots onto a network. An advantage of an audience is that you can see the response before you air a program. This means that the researcher can make changes to improve to program. A disadvantage of an audience is that the show's subject may only cater for a certain's persons interest. This could mean the programs strengths could be ignored.  My documentary will have a target audience of people aged over fifth teen. 

National Readership Survey: The national readership survey or NRS is a company that provides audience research for print advertising trading in the UK. Their social grade is split into five sections. A-Upper Middle Class, B-Middle Class, C1-Lower Middle Class, C2-skilled working class D -working class and E-underclass/unemployed.
