•The filmmaker remains hidden behind the camera, ignored by the surrounding environment he/she neither changes nor influences the actions/events being captured: parts of our documentary will conform to this convention.
•Keeps up with the action resulting in rough, shaky, often amateur-looking footage. Since nothing is staged for the camera, the camera rushes about to keep up: we will challenge this convention; we want to have a 'professional' look.Participatory Conventions and how we will us them:
•Documentary maker (and crew) interact with subject: Sahedul will 'front' our documentary, however we will challenge the convention and not show the whole crew
•Interviews dominate but tend to be formal- literally ‘on the run’ questioning: we will challenge this convention by 'sitting' with the interviewees.
•Use of archive material- stills, news; footage, newspaper headlines and emails.
•Location shooting - handheld camera and tripod: hand held - walking around sch. and static camera for expert interviews.
•Long takes dominate: we will challenge this convention; log takes may bore the viewer.
•Synchronous (direct) sound recording: all our clips will have 'real' (diegetic) sound.
•Voiceover- usually by the documentary maker: Sahedul
•Documentary maker is visible to the audience- Interviews and participates in the action.
Exposition
Our exposition will include a montage of images related to our documentary topic. The exposition will give an overview of what we are going to be looking at. We will also include a voiceover; it will mention questions that will be answered later on within our documentary.
Material shaped into a narrative/story
As we are unaware of why young people are affected by their body, the research we have gained will explain some of the core reasons why young people are so affected by their body. Towards the end of the documentary, we will be more aware as to why and how important body image is to young individuals.
Material shaped into an argument
The stats we gain will help us to build an argument on our chosen topic. Also, expert advice and interviews from young individuals will give the audience a variety of views. The audience will then be able to make a judgement on the information that has been presented to them.
