Production Log 7

I have finished filming all the bits which I had to do and I made sure that the children were happy to what they said in the voice over there was no script about what they said about their opinion of the care home expect the question.

I showed the draft of my work to my assessor who was accompanied by his assistant and he gave me feedback about my work


  • Make sure you record what you say on the voice recorder and give it three seconds so you can edit the sound. 

  • First thing was when i did the montage editing of the tour of the hour he said that he want me to talk about the situation about the care, more context about the care home and make sure it give some information led so the audience can understand situation.

  • At the beginning of the each segment he wants me to give intro and he want the change of location at the beginning as the location doe not relate to the care system. I said outside the care home which would be the best one.

  • He also suggested a new structure that i could follow within my documentary.


This is how it will go.

I will do an intro each segment, once I have done my intro it will go to me asking a question to the Vox pop relating to the segment of the documentary I am doing and I will be showing the viewers about my perception to the question. An example would be what is the Care home like?

Also this weekend i will be sending information to my assessor in regards to when i will be filming and the progress of it.

Next week I will be continuing filming and editing once I have visit a university.

Production Log 6

This week I asked to my careers to write a letter on my behalf  to social worker. thje reason why i had to do this is because I had to ask their permission on letting the children participate in my documentary.

I re did the shots of the segment of my daily life. This week nothing went wrong I continued doing the filming and editing. Whilst I was editing i encounter product in adding sound effect to make the sound effect sound realistic.

In this week I had done the voice over of the speaking about what the room are in the residential care home but in more. however i did not have much time to do it as i was very busy. i did the interview with my career speaking about their interest as a career After that it was all fine.

Also I started to edit the footage I did at home already in class which was the cooking and also the search to each sound effect that would work for my documentary again because they were copyright and i had to get not the copyright.

Next week i will continue editing and film.

Production Log 5

On Saturday morning I woke up very early to commence filming. I encountered lots of problem whist filming on my own. The carers at the care home encourage me to ask for help. I asked them to help me film in the documentary. Two of my carer me with the camera. One camera shows a high angle of of me cooking and the other camera doing two thing one. At the beginning it show me chopping food to pieces. Next it shows a close up of the food being cooked in the frying pan and also the rice. I fully filmed me cooking the food fully. What this does is that it allowed me to fully see what I was doing in the full process of the cooking.

Also In the weekend I partly shot a segment of my daily life. I encountered another problem on that day and that was the amount of interruption I had. I had to put a sign in front of everyone door to say that I will be filming.

However it did not work too well when I started to do the voice over speaking about what the room are in the residential care home. I overcome this issue when speaking to the staff about taking the children on a early activities which was rock climbing. After that it was all fine.

Also I started to edit the footage I did at home already in class which was the cooking and also the search to each sound effect that would work for my documentary. This documentary will be participatory mode.

Next week I will be continuing editing and filming
