The documentary topic i have chosen to do will be about legalizing cannabis in the UK/England, his would be minimum 5 minutes long including interviews facts and figures.
AIM:
My aim of would be to show people that leglazing cannabis in this country would not be harmful and how other poepl view their opinion on this hopefully making the audience have a similar view on the topic. i would provide full informatin for the people who do not know what cannabis is and what it does.
CONTENT:
In video i will be including alot of information that would be helpful to the viewers i will also be including opinion from lots of diffeent people as a topic like this needs a variety of people views and thoughts. i will be fair to both parties if you are for or against legalzing cannabis. i wil be inteviewing a drug user a drug dealer and stating facts about cannabis my self also i will be including vox pops which is interviewing people on streets about their opinion.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
My target audience would mainly be from ages 16-30, british and both male and female and it can be any ethinicity, i will produce as much educational information i possibly can and also being careful iin what i show in my documentary and what i say as i will be talking about an illegal drug in this country. i would want my audience to understand what point i would be viewing.
FORMAT:
The format of the documentary I wil be making is participatory. This is when I my self will be presenting and being involved in the documentary. I will have to make sure that i have the audience enganged by changing my tone of voice and showing alot of hand movements also not keeping to the same person or topic for a long period of time.
GENRE:
The Genre will be a documentary, there are all different types of documentaries however mine will be serious alsoIi will have to make it and structure it like a documentary too.
STYLE:
The style I will be using is simple and not too complicated, I will have lots of different locations and camera tricks to keep my audience engaged, I will also have all diferent kinds of people so my audience again will stay engaged. I will have facts shwon in my doccumentary with my voice over it also I will have an archive footage that would last around 30 seconds max, however I will be using my own voice and the not the person on the original footage. I may or may not have music as I might ruin the serious tone fo the documentary.
SHOTS:
I will be using all different kinds of shots for the audience to be engaed also to have everything fully viewed in my video.
I will be using longshots and paning for a cut away, this is when I would have to be stating facts, mid shots will be used for both peice to camera and interviews, I think these shots are the most important for a documentary as using shots like close-ups and high and low shots ruin the affect of making a documentary.

Five Key Questions
Why do people regularly smoke cannabis?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081103140443AAiNUSO
In this link i have provided that people have given all different types of answer to why they smoke cannabis. Most is for medical reasons and some is for recretional reasons.
my first expert link is from 'Talk to Frank', http://www.talktofrank.com/, here they talk about what weed does, both positive and negative sides, for example weed can get you relaxed as it mentions, however the side effect can cause paranoia.
The second example i will give of an expert is from 'teenage health freak', http://www.teenagehealthfreak.org/question/why-do-people-smoke-cannabis, on this site it explains why people smoke cannabis for exmaple, out of curosity, peer pressure and again tells you both sides about good and bad factors of weed. third expert would be a website called Quora, http://www.quora.com/Cannabis/Why-do-people-smoke-pot-weed-marijuana-cannabis, on this site it goes back into the history about weed and why people take it, in here they tell you people smoke weed to again , medical reasons and recreational.
How many people have been arrested smoking cannabis in the UK?
Mail online, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-207021/Cannabis-arrests-pointless--cop.html , on this website is says alot of under 18's has been arrested, does not have a precise number of how many were arrested however it was mostly younger people. Second link, http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1594301_ten-arrests-in-cannabis-farm-dawn-raids, here is says ten people in manchester have been arrested on the news, the exact number or any information provided for this, however it seems alot of people do get arrested,which is kind of a positive point as so many people are being arrested why dont we legalize it so theres more other important cases to worry about instead of arresting someone with the posession of cannabis when the whole world/half of the people in england smoke it, they are all aged between 18-56 yr olds. Third link would be http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3936357.stm, this is from the BBC news it explains that cannabis arrests fallen by a third again not an exact number.
Should it be legalized?
I personally think yes it should be legalized with the amount of people that have been arrested, also the amount of people that smoke cannabis is a huge number and the goverment should consider it, also other countries and USA states have had it legalized and you do not hear any problem from them.
My first link will be http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3936357.stm, here he talks about the rights and wrongs and how people would react, also about the law however this guy is biased and has both sides of what could happen when it is legalized and when it is not which is now. Second link would be, http://www.publicserviceeurope.com/article/2140/cannabis-why-is-it-still-illegal, in this link it goes for leglaizing it as it states, 'the fact that cannabis is still illegal is just plain crazy. According to the United Nations, cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug in the world and is used regularly by hundreds of millions of people', this shows that you havnt heard no problems and deaths caused by cannabis and no arests due to cannabis which mean police can work on other crimes and more serious drugs like for exmaple heroin and cocaine. Third link would be http://idebate.org/debatabase/debates/health/house-believes-cannabis-should-be-legalised, here they are all for legalizin drugs showing statistics and how widely the drug cannabis is used and how it is less harmfull than tabacco and alcohol as them two substances are legalized.
Who is resposible for this ban on cannabis?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_the_United_Kingdom#Cannabis.27_enduring_legacy_on_British_culture ,
if you scroll down to modern industrial cannabis market, it says that cannabis is legal however you have to have a licesnce to grow and process, however this is for fibre. second link is http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20165371, this shows that europe needs protest againt not banning weed from coffee shops however this is down to just people not the actual government as they has legalized it them selves in the first place. Third link would be http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_banned_marijuana, here it shows you from the begginning who banned the drugs from america as it was mostly due to racial discrimination to mexicans.
What are the benefits of cannabis?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/emotional_health/addictions/cannabis.shtml, in this link it tells you the effects and what canabis exactly is and what it does to you body, it does have benefits for exmaple curying or helping with pain and diseases, also keeping you relaxed. second links http://www.ibtimes.com/%E2%80%98medical%E2%80%99-marijuana-10-health-benefits-legitimize-legalization-742456, here he tells us that other medicines for exmaple paracetamol or blood pressure tablets have caused a thousand deaths also prescripted drugs however cannabis has not caused any deaths and also have actualy cured a few diseases and sickness. Third link is http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080828205732AAWzRsd, here there is avariety of answers mostly telling people it is the most beneficial plant on earth and others jus have a normal view on it, saying what the benefits are and not.

Documentary Modes
Codes and conventions of a documentary is to have
1. Expository -
Expository mode is when the commentary in other words the voice over is emphasized in different ways due to what is happenig in the clip, alsoo has an argumentative logic towards the footage been shown, this is a really good way in showing what to audinece shoul feel becuase it makes a realy big difference, also if you do not what is going on exactly in the footage the 'vice over' would be able to explain for you and tell you how to feel with their persuasive and emphasized voice.
In the march of the penguins there are many exmaple in where the narrative use's an emphasized voice one example is at 0:50 till 1:00, the tone of his voice tells you how big the deal is also the music helps the voice exagerate on the specific things he talks about.
Observational is when the filmaker is a natural observer of the whole objective, overall telling you want to think, or either thinking you self as you are observing. the filmake is always hidden behind the camera they do not involve them seves in the video, however they may have voice over's and definitely have archive footage, also nothing is staged for observational as you have to give your own opionin or thinking on actual footage, so the camera is shaky and rough often amteur looking footage.
In Central Park five they include the interivews with the police officers also interviews with the victims throughout the whole trailer you can still observe and guess what is going to be in the documentary clearly know what it is about.
3. Reflexive -
Reflex is a mode of documentary which not necessarily tell you the truth but it reconsructs 'a' truth but not the exact truth, the article of the document is revealed and exposed to everyone for exmaple all of the editing and sound and etc are all shown to the viewer, so they have to be aware of it.
In the Catfish trailer it shows bits of what the documentary is about also it shows you the people that are in the documntary and shows them actualy filiming every little bit of the footage and jounrey they are showing to the viewers. This is reflexive mode (awareness of the process)
4. Performative -
Performative mode is when the subject is exagerrates and emphasized about the documentarian, this mainly focuses on the emtional and social impact on the audience (evocation and affect). In supersize me documentary the guy eats Mc donalds for a month and through outhe shows what he is doing constantly and what he eats this gives impact and emotion towards the audience, everyone woul have a different reaction and that is the main target for this documentary, also the main point on the documentary is about the documentarain themself.
5. Interactive -
Interactive Mode is when the filmaker is also involved in the documentary themself, the filmaker becomes part of the events being recorded, this accepts direct engagement unless like observational mode. In Tupac and Biggie documentary the filmaker trys tofind out who was involved and who was responsible for the murders or Tupac and Biggier, he invloves him self and does everything himself for exmaple all of the interviews also he includes everything he does for exmaple even knocking on the door for permission becuase he needs to show the audience at all times what he is doing. A few exmaple like between 0:3:50 to 0:4:40 in between that time you can see how the camera technique is really shaky and rough also how everything is recorded and not fully staged as you would expect in other documentaries.
- Realism - For example handheld camera, actuality footage, interviews, news footage, statistic etc...
- Dramatisation - For example cliff hanger, graphics, CGI, reinactment etc...
- Narrativisation - For exmaple, creating a story by using voice over

News package Conventions
What is a news package?
A news package is all based on a specific story that is important, usually starts off with a live introduction then it would caryr onto interviews and other archive footage about the subject. They are very serious stories that would be helpful for the viewers and may affect some poeples lives, and educational becuase people know whats goin on around the world.
The news package I have picked is Gadaffi's Death:
Field reporters: In this video there is a feild reporter dressed in a suit all the time as he is always on location in the places that the situation or something that is going to take place however he would not havr to put on soomething different for example an army outfit if he was going out into iran or Libya, as he is a local feild reporter also he is in an safe environment. Example:
Also as you can see in the second screen grab he is stnading next to an EDF energy post even though he is on location of where the foootball match is going to take place he stands next to a energy brand this is also advertising and expanding brand awareness.
Links to studio: Through out the clip would have at the bottom of the screen, whee about this is taking place and what is happening. that is the only link to the studio becuase they have to edit it to let the viewers know what is going on and why. Most of the footage been recorded are off peolpe phones on their video camera's as it has happend all of a sudden the media people where not prepared so using archive footage pff people's phones and youtube gives a better view of what has happend because having poor handheld camera and poor lighting,sound, this makes it seem more realistic and captres your emotions more becuase it's real.
Mode of Address to viewer: The tone of the persons voice that is doing the voice over is very serioud becuase this is a serious matter and concerns a lot of people around the world. Also this gives the audience a idea of how serious this situation is and how to undertake it. The accent is a very clear normal english accent so all viewers can understand what is going on, if they had a strong scottish accent but did not pro-nounce the words clearly the audience would be confused in what is being said. Also the person that is doing the voice over must be an expert/fact provider becuase they have to know what they are talking about in the voice -over and have to let the audience know what is exactly going on, why they are doing this and what it could lead to.
Interviwing Experts and witnesses: As you can see in the second clip the presenter is interviewing an expert about what has happend as he is analyisng the situation and what could happen to other leaders and the future. while he is interviewing the expert there is archive footage shown in the background so the audience knows what he is talking about. They have put the presenter and the archive footage on a bigger view screen because that is the main point of the topic, they have got the expert in a little box in a corner small enough to see the footage but however big enough so you can still see him. exmaple from the clip:
Report Structure: There is alot of archive footage as i have mentioned before in feild reporters, it would be too dangeous for the presenter to go onto the actual location also they would not have that much time to have everything prepared and set up for filiming, using archive footage is very helpful becuase it gives you more of an udnerstanding and a better view of how the vitim feels and the people that are beating gadaffi up.
all of the fact communication is done by voice over beucase they footage is long and gives alot of information doing two things at once would help get the message across more clearer becuase he is astating facts while the video is showing them. there isnt any presence of the presenter so the camera cant use the 'noddy' techique in this clip.
Actuality Footage: They have the cources in ths clips frm youtube and off of people phones that were there and commiting this crime. they have used this fotoage to give a viewer a more of a wider variety of thoughts and emotiong for themselves to understand the story better. most of this clip is mainly the archive fotoage becuase they want to show as mch as they can get (so much as possible), also they have used this in the clip for more of an udnerstanding and getting acrosss to the viewer.

Wildlife documentary: david attenborough:
Meerkats united:
wildlife documentaries are mainly about animals and how they behave in this documentary about meerkats their every trail is foloowed and talked about this is where commentary is being used, the commentary is mainly the expert as they know exactly what they are talking about also they might add music or soud effects when there is something going on forexample chasing or preys and etc... this creates a bigger impact on the audience because it causes tension and makes the audience more curious about what is going to happen next.

Special interest Splolight on mission:
Special interest is when only a niche audience would have a interest in a particular subject for example i have got a clip of trains only a small content of people would enjoy watching this as it is not for everyone so they wont be played on well known channels.
also the content in this, is mostly voice over you dont really get to see the presenter as much because he's talking over, he wears formals clothing, a suit however not a too formal suit as he does want to seem abit casual becuase the topic is not very serious for exmaple like the news. in this clip they show alot of archive footage that has already been filmed and in the beggingin he's on location.
Make over show Gok wan Fasion fix:
A make over show is when they get either a one perso or a group of people and transform something big intheir life into something better or something more preferred to the person for example i have got goks fashion fix which is about getting a person (mainly women) nd transformaing their whole wardobe and hair and thinking of them selves about how they appear to themselves and others. Gok is always dressed really fashionable and up date with the fashion if he didnt he would look like the kind of guy you would want a make over from.
He always on location as he needs to be espesically if he is going shopping with the person. there will be added archive footage from before how the person use to be to how they are now.
Talk show: GMTV:
Talk show is when there are max two presenters that talk about certain topics which are mainly important however not serious as news becuase a bit of banter is added in it. in this show they will add intervies, archive footage and weather, this covers some of the contents which are needed. the costumes they were are smart and casual for exmaple the lady presenter is wearing a dress but its not too smart or too casual and the man is wearing a suit.
REview show: Volvo ocean race:
a review show is a show that revies new things and products on only a certain subject/feild for exmaple this clip is about is a race a few guys are having across the there is voice over and little mini interviews, also the people that are in this show have proper equipment and full on gear to manage with the water and dangers they could be in. this is not made live as anything could happen and also they need to show things in order so making it live wouldnt be a good idea also as it is over a long period of time it needs to be cut down and edited and put back together (all the important bits).
CHat show: Jeremy Kyle:
a chat show is when the studio presenters or presenter dicuss a series of topics that need solving fr exmaple this is the Jeremy Kyle show famous for chavs and people on benefits with problems that are really shocking. in this show the presenter is always wearing a formal suit and tie, when people end up going backstage the camera's always go handheld becuase they dont know what would happen so they cant have camera's set to reposition and etc... they may have archive footage from previous shows the same famiyl have been on to show either if they have become better or worser.
Magazine show Top Gear:
a magazine show combines interviews, commentary and entertainment, in this programme top gear they include everything for example they will always have some sort or archive footage also their costumes are mainly casual clothes for exmaple jeans shirts n jackets, they have these kind of presenters becuase not just they are enthusiastic but they know what they are talking about as they are experts in it. the presenters are always on locations becuase they have lots of missions to do that have been handed over to them which include being on location.

10 Factual Videos I Watch
1. David Attenborough
Im really drawn to David Attenboroughs' voice as it seems like he is telling you a story while he explains whats is going on for example waht the people are doing and what the animals are doing also how they would react to certain things and what would be dangerous etc... the way they have filmed the animals are also precise for example they follow their everymove and it is so clear, also in this one they show the facial expression of the peolpe and animals. When the camera men are filming the people act like they arent there which makes it better.
2. Top Gear
The thing that really attracts me to this show are mostly the presenters (also my interest in cars and adventures they go in) as they are really enthusiastic and out there, they know their car information and they know how to draw the audience in. Having fast moving camera angles showing fast cars at different angles also would draw my attention in.
3. Jeremy Kyle
The thing about this show is not mostly the camera position as they are mainly standard three point camera, one in the middle and left and right. Having real people come onto the show with their problems and how the Presenter is also a person that helps them out with their situations is interesting.
4. Dragons Den
I really like this programme as i have a really big interest in business not also that but their style of presentation by having all the business people out in the front with the poeple coming to show their products one at a time. the camera movements can draw my attention in too for exmaple when the judges have a comment the have a side view of them or it either pans acorss other judges to them also having spot lights makes the room insome areas dark and in other light which gives it a gloomy affect.
5. 16 and Pregnant
The camera angles and effects and techniques are really simple in this to be honest it's mostly about the entertainment and what they go through and what problems people have.
6. Embaressing Bodies
I like how they introduce the whole subject first before going into detail or eiter showing anything, also they have this little music when they are moving onto another topic or if something new is about to happen, i like the way the doctors use differsnt ways of appearing so they still catch the audiences attention with their different actions than just the problems the people come in with.
7. Come Dine With me
I really enjoy the commentary of the dinner party they have as he always makes jokes about the people there. Also i like hw they both capture the dinner and all the comments the guests say while the person hosting the dinner part is being filmed in the kitchen all of them always giving their opinions. 8. UK border force This is more of a serious programme and educational at the same time becuase you learn alot of things about what happesn at the airport n what oculd happen fiy ou get caught. the camera techniques again are simple as they are not really showing a story or anything they are just filming all the appropriate filiming.
