My Pitch and Assessment

-

In my completed pitch, I discuss what my idea is and what I aim to include in my planned documentary. I go into depth on my understanding of who my client is, as well as my potential audience - to which I will create a further survey to know more clearly. 

My assessment and feedback 

Upon receiving my feedback and what I had to improve on moving forward, I have since researched into existing products in depth and discussed how they will influence and inspire me when I come to create my own documentary.  Upon doing this I have researched into my audience, creating a survey to find out in further detail what they like and dislike, helping me in the process as I now know exactly who my audience are and what they want to see.

Documentary First Draft and Feedback

 My first completed draft of my documentary:  Feedback (focus group):  Recap of Feedback - What did you like about the documentary? 'It's really well put together, I love that it was chronological for each place, really educational, now I know a lot more about live music and the bands that performed here, even if you didn't have videos you had photos, just really well put together.'  'I like the way you edited it, even without videos you were able to make the story come through, with the pictures you were able to educate people as a documentary should, the intro and outro have a nice pace, ending is very good for your professional practice.'  What could I improve on? ' You could fix the voices / vocals as there's lots of white noise in the background, you can remove it on Premiere Pro to make it sound better.' 'I agree on fixing the background noise is there is a lot of white noise, also maybe adding some background music quietly as some clips do...

Second Draft and Feedback

Second Draft - Improvements Made - After participating in a focus group and receiving feedback on my first completed draft, I went straight back to editing to complete these improvements, hopefully making my documentary look more professional in the process. The main improvement I received several times was to get rid of the white noise in the background of most clips, as well as adjusting the volume levels throughout so that all clips were equal and one wasn't louder than the other, since for example, my ending interview was a lot quieter that the rest of my documentary at times, as well as different sections on different venues sounding completely different due to filming them all separately. Before this I hadn't actually changed the audio on Premiere Pro before as it never was necessary, so I researched and watched some tutorials on YouTube, allowing me to see the best way to do this, and it wasn't difficult at all therefore I was able to quickly make this improvement a...

Analysis of Existing Products

As I have decided to create a documentary which focuses all around the history of live music in the North East and the difference in it today, upon researching, I've been unable to find an existing documentary / short film which focuses on gigs in one specific place - as they all focus on perhaps a specific event or band, not the actual place in which it's taking place. While this stands, I did research into different music documentaries which in this case did focus on either an event in particular, a certain band, or even a music label.  Hitsville: The Making of Motown (2019) When it comes to music documentaries, I have always believed Hitsville: The Making of Motown to be one of the best. The documentary tells the story of the Motown label, from how it began to the late 60s. Something I admire about the documentary is that in a way it's very personal, as it involves some of the label's greatest artists including Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, and more, ...
