Camera Logs

You need to complete 4 further camera logs in addition to the ones you have already filmed.

1. Describe how you developed your initial ideas and try to describe the stages you went through in developing the concept. What was your first idea and why and how did the concept develop?

2. Think about the technical skills you have developed during the making of your documentary.
Think about the following areas of:
  • camera shots, movement and composition when you were filming.
  • diegetic and non diegetic sound used in post production.
  • editing skills.

Comment on:

  • what you did well
  • what you did that didn't work well
  • what you would do next time.

3. What problems did you encounter in making the video? Comment on the following areas:

  • Planning - developing the concept, deciding on roles, planning the filming days
  • Production management - organising and coordinating the location, cast, crew, props and costumes. Unforeseen problems that arose during filming and how you solved them. An assessment of how these problems and solutions affected the final piece.
  • Post-production - comment on how you used your footage in the editing process. What footage worked well and what did you feel you could have shot additionally to improve the final piece? What other elements did you need in post production? Eg: titles, music

4. A final evaluation of the documentary. You should comment on the process and the final product.

  • the final piece and how effectively it has conveyed the concept
  • production values and whether you feel there were aspects of planning and organisation that affected the final piece
  • technical aspects of the final piece and an evaluation of how you could develop your technical skills to improve a final piece
  • an evaluation of the team work of the production group and how the dynamics of the team affected the final piece
  • how the final piece has been received by audiences and whether the reaction was the one you intended in planning the concept.
