Why I want to do this project!This Project is personal to me. I want my grandad’s memories and
stories of his time in Dover during the war to not be forgotten so that in years to come his experiences and stories will still be told to the
younger generations.

Project Title Unit 13
Section 1: Rationale (approx. 150 words) I am creating a documentary of my grandad’s experiences in World War 2, whilst a young boy living in Dover. My main concern is to tell his story and to make sure that his unique memories are not forgotten. My reasoning for doing a documentary is that ever since I was a young boy I have always been interested in the war, it’s the same with documentaries also. I believe a documentary is a much more personal form of media which if it’s done in the right way can be very relatable. It’s very personal as I will be talking to someone who lived through the war, it will capture the audiences interest by listening to what he went through and the constant threat of being killed. I have learnt many new skills and techniques and one of the skills I want to show off in my documentary is framing and composition.
Section 2: Project Concept (approx. 200 words) The media format of my project is a documentary. The main aim of my project is to tell my Grandad’s story so that people appreciate his experience. One major factor that influenced me to do this documentary on the War was history. I’ve always been intrigued about the war and likewise history, and always enjoyed Grandad talking about his experiences. By doing this subject it allows me to do a lot of research into the war but more importantly into Dover during the war which will allow me to get an idea of what my Grandad and Dover went through during this period. The target audience for my documentary are people who love documentaries, intrigued in history and more specifically the war but also people who like personal stories about a major event like the war and people living in Dover. During the production of my project I will be doing everything from editing to directing to filming. Personally I think this is good so it allows me to do exactly what I want and the way I want it to look also.
Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 150 words)
When it comes to evaluating my work I will use progress trackers to look back at what and how I produced it. Progress trackers are a good way of looking back at project changes. It also allows me to reflect on what I done when it comes to evaluating my project. I will use a production diary throughout the production stage of my project to help with evaluating what and how I made my documentary. The production Diary will include pictures and notes of what I done on what day. When I have completed my documentary I will ask for feedback from my peers and also from my lectures to help with getting ideas on how to make my work better.
Proposed Research Sources and Bibliography (Harvard Format)
Below are a few examples of sources that I believe would help me with my project, I want to use a range of sources not only the normal websites and YouTube clips. I will look for films and books also that could give me any information.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This project portfolio is a report of my Extended Project for my second-year UAL Extended Diploma in Creative Media Games Film and TV pathway. My project is a short documentary based on my grandad and his experiences whilst living in Dover throughout World War 2 as a young boy. Chapter 1 is all about who I am, what I have learned and also starting to get into the pre-production stage of my project. In this chapter I will finish my research plan.
The Background of my Project
Ever since I was a young boy I have always been very interested in the War but more specifically in history in general. I thought it would be an interesting project to put two of my most interesting things to learn about and create a documentary. However my documentary is based on my grandad which makes it super personal to me and he continuously is telling me stories about when he was a young boy in Dover during the War and some of the stories have really influenced me in making this documentary so I can tell some of his stories in this documentary. Ever since I was a young boy I have been going on trips to France and seeing different monuments and main parts which witnessed mass conflict but also I believe doing this documentary will give me the opportunity to gain a lot more knowledge about a subject I love. Dover is very special to me and my family as they all grew up there so it would be very special for me to learn about Dover history in more detail. By doing this I want to create a well detailed and very personal documentary. But most importantly I want it to be a well-researched and factual documentary. My project will be very relatable to my target audience as it will be for interesting for the people who love the war and also documentaries likewise. I have always preferred to watch documentaries rather than films as documentaries are far more personal especially if it is about something you have an interest in. It allows you to get a better understanding on that subject or person so that was another reason for me wanting to create a documentary. Who am I
The Who Am I task is really good on being able to reflect on what you have learnt since starting the course. When asked at the start of the course last year to create a mind map of who I am below is what I created. Very much orientated on the things I love and what do academically like come to college however since doing this course for the past two years the mind map below would look completely different now as I have learnt so many new things, so many new skills and created so many good projects.

LO 1.1 1.2 4.1
GO TO CONTENTS
This task has given me the opportunity to really think about who I have become since I started this course. Above I have mentioned how I really have a love and passion for history which influenced me hugely in making a documentary for my Unit 13 but also I am a very practical person. Looking back from my first project when I started this course which was the Hello Project you can clearly see how I’ve progressed whether that be my editing, camera work or sound work. Again a huge part of my documentary is framing. I want that emotion to be there, I want my audience to be entertained and intrigued so I want this documentary to be emotional as I am a very emotional person. This all come together to give a huge indication about who I really am.
What did I learn on my course?
Since starting this course I have been given the freedom to create whatever I want from a practical point of view. I have been able to experiment with sound, lighting and even cameras so that when it comes to producing documentaries and films which I have done I have the ability to do this as professionally as I can.
When I joined this course I didn’t know how to edit footage, I didn’t know how to use different camera settings such as shutter speed and white balance even, since starting this course I hadn’t worked much in teams but since then I have worked in team on near enough every task which will be very beneficial for the future as one thing employers really look for is how well can you work in teams. Since starting the course I bettered all my skills for example when I started I could not use Avid at all but now I can edit very easily. If I was to work in the industry teamwork would be one of the main attributes they would look for when it comes to employing you. Since starting this course it has all been about teamwork. I have managed to create far better work in a team rather than something I have done on my own.
In the last academic year I created a college timeline. This really helped me when reflecting on what I done previously on the college course. I was able to clearly see that I have learnt so many new skills and learnt so much since doing this college timeline.

I like to look back at this timeline and compare everything that I knew back when I done this timeline to everything that I have learnt since then. This timeline really sums me up as a person and that’s why it’s so personal to me.
What is my project about?
After almost 80 years on from WW2 the younger generations know what happened over seas in France where the main bulk of the war took place however they may not necessarily know so much about how the war effected closer to home in the Kent area or more precisely Dover. My documentary will give a first-hand interview from someone who witnessed the war in Dover. People who love to learn about the war and also people who love personal documentaries will get a first-hand account of one boy’s time in Dover during WW2.
My role in this project is Writer/Producer/Film Director and even editing. However I am really going to try to focus on the editing of the production as after all this is the stage of the production process where you bring it all together and this is where you get to make it look exactly the way you want it.
Why my project is important?
I want my documentary to educate the younger generation on what children the same age as them went through almost 80 years earlier. Personally I don’t believe children learn enough about the wars. It was an event that changed history completely and this is why this documentary is important. This documentary is important for its target audience as there are a lot of documentaries based around the soldier’s point of view and people who fought in the war but not so many stories about the people who grew up during the war. Personally this project is really important to me as it is my grandad that I will be documenting and I want his memories and stories about what happened in Dover at that time to not be forgotten and make the audience aware of what horrific time he went through during this bad period for not just Dover but the whole of England.

My Research Plan
Table 3- My Research Plan
EXTENDED PROJECT - RESEARCH PLAN No of Words
Interest/Topic/Theme 150I will watch documentaries on the war to get inspiration and whilst looking at documentaries on the war look at framing as this is a big part of what the documentary actually looks like. My documentary is about an event in history so it has to be very factual so I will use books to do some research on the war. To get inspiration on how I could structure my documentary and what is in it I am going to use sources from books to war documentaries and online website. I will also refer to previous work I have done to help me with getting ideas on what goes in the documentary and framing for example.
Why is it important? - Importance 100
This documentary is important because it will be personal, imformative and emotional. There arent many documentaries out there that are about the younger generation who didn’t get evacuated during the war so this documentary will be very relatable to the people who stayed put during the war rather than the evacuees. Personally I believe its important for the younger generations to learn about the wars as it was a major event in history that happened in history and if lost could have had a major effect on the way we live our lives today.
My research question(s) 100
Can framing effect the emotional response of a documentary?What is the best way to structure a documentary? What effect did the war have on Dover?

Research Design 100
I will use books, websites and documentaries to research the war. This will help with what information I want to put into the documentary. I will do some research into target audience, using surveys and interviews as a way of finding out what type of audience my documentary will appeal to. When doing a documentary you need to research into framing, sound and even where you are going to film. Framing is a huge part of a documentary. You need to be very precise with documentaries otherwise it won’t appeal to anyone.

CHAPTER 2
Literature/Resources Review
Introduction
This chapter is all about informing my ideas for my documentary. I will do this by using certain research resources such as web pages, books and documentaries to provide a basis for my extended project and documentary. This chapter will also include a practitioner report and will conclude with ideas and key conclusions of all the resources used in the chapter.
Practioners Report
My Practitioner report will be on the documentary maker Louis Theroux. Born in Singapore in 1970 he is best known for his works such as Louis Theroux: Saville (2017) and My Scientology Movie (2015). Theroux now has three children and is married to Nancy Strang.
Theroux like to make documentaries based on controversial people and issues. He likes to document problems in society, however before he become famous he was a journalist and he was heavily influenced by the work of his father who was a fiction and travel write called Paul Theroux. His brother Marcel also had a career in writing.
Theroux’s documentary When Louis Met… (2001-2002) won a BAFTA award in 2002. Theroux also went on to win best presenter by the Royal Televisions Society, UK in 2010. Louis is still around making documentaries today with his latest documentary called My Scientology (2016).
Louis has a very different approach to other documentarians for example in his earliest documentaries the whole documentary is filmed free hand, this gives the documentary a certain pace and feels more natural. He also has a way of asking very awkward questions and incorporating a lot of very awkward silences throughout his documentaries.
I have decided to do research into Louis Theroux as he is one of the most well-known documentary makers and I believe his popularity comes down to the natural feel of his documentaries. It’s interesting to watch Louis work as it isn’t the stereotypical documentaries you would expect. His documentaries are very full on

LO 2.1 2.2 3.1 3.2
Figure 4 IMDB Louis Theroux (2018)
GO TO CONTENTS
and hard hitting. I like how personal he makes his documentaries and I am going to continue to look at more of his work to get more ideas for my very own documentary.
My second Practitioner report is on the film director Guy Hamilton. Guy Hamilton was born in 1922 in Paris France. Hamilton is well known for his work on the James Bond franchise and other films such as Battle of Britain (1969). After he left the armed forces after WW2 he immediately entered the film industry. He quickly climbed to the top getting the opportunity to work with the top directors at the time such as Sir Carol Reed and John Huston.

Guy Hamilton directed some of the most memorable and popular films from the likes of Battle of Britain (1969) to Goldfinger (1964) and even Live and Let Die (1973). His films are very much ‘typically British’. He really likes the concept of actions and adventure which is very popular with most audiences.
I decided to research Guy Hamilton because I am a big fan of his films and also the amount of action and adventure he incorporated in all of his films but also his film Battle of Britain will help me with my research when it comes to getting a feel of what Dover was like during this period of the war as the film is mainly based in Dover and the skies above Dover.

Literature Review
For my literature review I will look at different research resources gathering note during the process and bringing all my findings together to answer the questions above in my research plan. I will be looking at how documentaries are structured, framing in documentaries and the effect the war had on Dover.
The first question I am going to base my research on is can framing effect the emotional response of a documentary?
The first source I am going to use is a TV series called Inside the Ambulance, based around the life of a paramedic you get a first-hand view via a chest camera of everything the paramedics go through on a daily basis. When watching this documentary I am looking at the framing set up used for the intimate interviews used in the episode. This source is really helpful in gaining ideas and influences for ways I can set my camera up that it feels more intimate and personal. This documentary is quite fast and nonstop however amongst all the madness of the ambulance teams going out on call they can still manage to get that intimacy into their documentary which really connects with their audience. Personally I think this source is useful as it demonstrates a completely different way of documentary making rather than just two people talking, in this you are up-close and personal with everything.
For my second source I found a book written by Robin L. Nabi called Exploring the Framing Effects of Emotion. The source talks about emotions in advertisements and entertainment programmes. This source is very interesting to read as it gives an in-depth look into emotion however it does not really relate to what I am talking about with framing in documentaries this source is more just about emotion.
My third source is a short video based on framing in documentaries. He talks about each shot and how the meanings differentiate through each shot. Not only did he give a meaning for each shot but he gave visual representations of each camera shot. By watching this I have bettered my knowledge on camera shots and framing however most of it I already knew. Personally I do not believe this source helps with answering my
20
Figure 6 Inside The Ambulance (YouTube, 2016)
GO TO CONTENTS
question however it is really good with refreshing my knowledge on framing and how I can negotiate different camera shots within my documentary.
My fourth source is from the source a website called Videomaker. The author Brian Pogue talks about framing techniques in which can better the overall look of your documentary. I am looking at this source to try and find the right research in order to answer my question. The source gives me good information on framing however does not give me the right information to answer my question however this source is still very helpful and it will help me in the future with my work.
In conclusion the research that I carried out helped me in certain ways. Although the research I have carried out has really helped with being able to compile enough knowledge to answer my question. Finally using the research I have done the answer to my question is yes framing can change the emotional response of the reader. It hugely comes down to the positioning of the camera and also the subject. If the subject is personal to the interviewee you ideally want the camera straight on and quite close so the audience can really feel the connection with the interviewee. Personally I believe it is also about the interviewee’s posture and where also they are looking. Framing is a huge part of documentary making but one thing I have noticed with my research the interviewees on Inside the Ambulance all look directly at the camera making it far more personal and you feel much more of a connection with that person.
My second question I am going to carry out research for is what is the best way to structure a documentary?
My first source is a short video demonstrating how to write a documentary. I watched it because I thought it would be beneficial on getting ideas on how I could lay my information out and fundamentally how I can bring it all together to get a well informative documentary. He talks a lot about narration and with a documentary about my grandad and also about the war I need a strong narrative to keep my audience interested. Personally I think this source is the best source from which I have I have done research on as it talks about everything within the documentary, structure and so on.

My second source is from a website called Desktop Documentaries. Within the source it discussed The Three-Act Documentary which is all about how to structure your documentary so that at the beginning you capture the audience’s attention and then in the middle is where the main bulk of your story is and then the end is where you bring it all together to get your resolution. When it comes to producing my work or at the pre-production stage of my documentary I will refer to this source to refresh my memory on the three-act structure so that I can try and base my documentary on this. This source is really useful and it clearly demonstrates how to structure your documentary in the best way so that your documentary is as informative and interesting as possible.
Figure 9 Photo by Floss Manuals, 3 Act Structure
My third source is from the same website, Desktop Documentaries however instead of just focusing on the three-act structure it goes in to more detail on aspects you have to think about when it comes to making your documentary for example you have to research your documentary subject making sure you know everything about in my case Dover during the war also I will have to make a plan and think about how I am going to outline my project and also what videos and pictures I am going to include other than the interview with my grandad. This source is I think the best source out of the three as it goes into much more detail on ways of preparing myself to make this documentary however it does not necessarily focus
22
Figure 8 How to write a documentary, video by Expertvillage
GO TO CONTENTS
on structure only a small part of the source is focused on the structure of documentaries the rest is on what I have to do to accomplish making a very good documentary.
Based on the research I have done from the three sources I personally believe it is personal opinion on what’s the best way to structure a documentary, fundamentally it comes down to watching other documentaries and taking notes and try to emulate and take inspiration from them but try to make it personal to you.
My third and final question is what effect did the war have on Dover?
To get a better understanding of what Dover went through in the war so that I can get a better understanding of what my grandad went through I have decided to do research into Dover during the Second World War. My first source is from a website called Dover: Lock and Key. It talks about the heavy bombing Dover went through during the war period showing devastating pictures of how the bombs decimated the town. This source is very good as it gives me a good visual of what the people of Dover went through during World War 2 however I want to find more out so I will look for a source that gives a lot more information.
My second source a YouTube video about Dover in 1942 gives a great view about Dover and also Dover during the war but with this documentary I am looking more at how they structure it as this is exactly what my documentary will be on also. For me this source is the best I have found throughout the whole literature review as not only is it giving me great information about Dover and wartime it is showing me how to structure a good detailed documentary. This documentary will have a huge influence on me and how I structure my documentary.

My final source is a website published by the BBC; it isn’t just focused only on Dover during the war but also Kent. The source talks about everything from the evacuation of Dunkirk to the bombings in the surrounding area but also the Battle of Britain which took place over the Channel which really help the Allies to win. By reading this BBC source I have taken a lot of good information from it which I will try and fit in my documentary when it comes to giving the context of my documentary however it hasn’t really helped me to answer my question as it isn’t primarily based in Dover, it briefly mentions Dover but not enough to gain any sufficient knowledge about what Dover went through.
To answer the question above Dover suffered hugely throughout the war with horrific bombing however in context to my project the research that I completed will be hugely beneficial for me when it comes to gaining a better understanding of what my grandad went through.
Media Product Review
For my work on my existing media product I chose a documentary made by the History of Wars talking about the use of the submarines during the war. I chose this documentary for three reasons. I could take tips on the structure of their documentary, their documentary is on the same topic as mine and finally they have incorporated interviews in their documentary which is exactly what I am going to do so it is good to take inspiration from this documentary.
I have always liked watching documentaries on the war as it is history which is something I have a huge passion for and I know a lot about but I also just like watching documentaries in general especially if it is about something I like or enjoy. I like how personal documentaries can be if done in the right way and how informative they can be. Understandably it has been this passion and love for documentaries and history which has influenced me to do this documentary on my grandad and the world war and I just hope I can produce a well-structured and interesting documentary myself.

Whenever I watch a documentary I always look at how they structure their documentary and also how they film it. Personally I believe if a documentary is well structured and about a subject where you can include a lot of interesting information then that documentary will be far more appealing to the audience. There is no doubt that all the documentaries I watched when I was a young boy shaped my planning and thought process on how I am going to make this documentary. Every documentary is different and that is what I love so much about them.
By doing this task on similar media products to mine I especially when they are on the World War I am able to compare what I want my documentary to look like to other documentaries and by doing this offers me the chance to get new ideas on how I can film it or the structure of the documentary. Content is the key to documentaries if what you include is fascinating to your audience far more people are going to want to watch it.
Conclusion
My overall inspiration for this project is both my passion for history and also my grandad. Without my grandads stories about what he went through during the war whilst living in Dover at the time it would just be another documentary on the war whereas mine is different as it is based on personal experiences that only my grandad had meaning nobody else experienced what he did his stories are unique. My main motivation for my project is to make sure that my grandads stories are told for years to come and that they are not forgotten as they are interesting and I want my audiences to hear what he went through at such a young age like so many others at this time.

CHAPTER 3
Research Design
Introduction
In this chapter it’s all about experimentation, the chapter also explains research design for my Extended Project. It starts off with a description of the research design and research methods used in my project.
Research Questions
For my extended project I really want to create a well informative and interesting documentary however I really want my documentary to appeal to others especially the younger generation and this is what I want to achieve. I want this documentary to give a good representation of my grandad through the stories that he is going to be telling me. The key characteristics of my project is that it is a documentary on the war which makes it instantly appealing to people who are interested in the war and also documentary lovers however the most important charecteristic of my project is that it is a documentary based on a first hand story of a young boy at the time living in Dover.
My overall research aim is looking at how to structure and frame my documentary. Both these elements are so important as they do not only determine what my documentary will look like but also what is in it, its content. I want to find out the best way to frame my documentary. After looking at so many documentaries the framing used varies, some of the interviewees look at the camera other don’t personally for my documentary I want my grandad to look down the camera as it is personal to him so the audiace will feel more as if he is talking to them making it far more personal rather than just me and him having a conversation. For the structure of my documentary I want to do a survey on what is the best content to put in my documentary. Other than the interview itself I can add found footage and pictures but I want to ask fellow peers to get their oppinion on this.
The questions I am going to base my experiments and research on are what is the best way to frame a documentary? I chose this question as it allows me to take images of different framing techniques and so I can see which one I think will best suit my documentary. The second question is what shall I include in my documentary other than my interview with my grandad? I chose this question as it will give me the opportunity to ask my peers their opinions on what I should incluse whether it be found footage or pictures even voiceovers.

Research Design
For my research I am going to carry out both a small framing experiment and a questionnaire on what to include in my documentary. I will also do a short task on sound so that when it comes to recording my interview I am more comfortable with being able to get good sound. I have chosen to do these three experiments as I believe by doing this is will benefit me in getting vital knowledge on how my documentary will look and also what my documentary will have in it.
For my first experiment I will take a couple of pictures using different angles to see which one best fits the framing for my documentary. I want to find out which is the best frame to use for my documentary? For my documentary I intend on using a medium shot so the camera will focus more on my grandad so it will not allow the audience to get distracted with anything in the background although with this shot it should expel that issue. Another dilemma when it comes to framing is where will the interviewee be looking? I have decided to have him look straight down the camera as this will make the documentary far more personal and it will feel as if my grandad is personally talking to the audience. The first frame that I am thinking about using is a medium shot looking straight down the camera...

The second frame is also a medium shot however I will be looking in another direction...

GO TO CONTENTS
I decided to do my primary research on framing as framing is so key to how the interview/documentary will look and fundamentally it can have an effect on the emotional response of the documentary.
For my second primary research experiment I conducted a questionnaire based on the question what should be included in my documentary? I know I’m having the interview but do I include found footage? Pictures? Voiceovers? This research question will help me answer that. I asked my peers, family and my friends to gain my data. Before creating this questionnaire I had to watch a few documentaries myself to see what other people have incorporated into their own. I simply gathered 4 questions together and asked if they could give me their opinions so I could record my data.
My third experiment is based around the question what environment is best to record sound in? I decided to gather some recordings of sound in different environments for example outside however I know I will be doing my interview indoors so I will attempt to record sound in the type of environment where I know I will be doing my interview.
Target Audience Research
My documentary is not aimed at any age specific person it is simply aimed at everyone. Ever since I started planning for this documentary it was obvious to me that my target audience is clearly people who love documentaries but also people who like documentaries on the war, history lovers is the best term to use. Personally I believe the older generations will take more of a liking to my documentary rather than the younger generation as it is more relevant and effected the older generations more as some of them may have lived through it like my grandad or had a family member hurt in the war or even just fought in the war. The younger audience would possibly be more interested in documentaries about things that are more modern to them rather than an event that happened years and years ago.
For my target audience research I will look at different sites documenting what audiences watch what? This will help me with seeing what people like to see on their TV screen and I will also conduct a short interview with my dad talking about why he would be interested in watching my documentary.
Skills and Techniques Research
In order to make sure that my project is original and effective I will research different skills and techniques in order to help me achieve this goal. By doing this it will help me to either refresh my knowledge on something such as framing or sound or benefit me when it comes to putting it all together through editing and learning new things. For my secondary research I will watch videos on how to edit found footage, voiceovers and pictures together in the best way possible. For my primary research I will incorporate what I have learnt through the framing task and better my knowledge by doing more on framing.
Production Research
28
GO TO CONTENTS
For my production I will obviously need the interviewee who in this case is my and I will also need a camera man. I have spoken to my grandad to ask him if he would like to be a part of my project likewise with my cameraman who I messaged over Facebook. I will be the Director for my project so in order to carry out this role to the best of my ability I have watched some short videos on Directors of documentaries talking about how they Direct documentaries. I will also be responsible for the final edit of my documentary so I will look at some media books that explain clearly how to get the best out of Avid so that the final edit is as good as possible.
To make sure I know what I am doing and when I am doing it I will create a production schedule this will help with knowing what to do and when to do it. I will create this myself. The budget for my project is very much opinion as it is a student project I will not need funding to create it however I will do some research online to see how much a production such as mine would cost. As my documentary is mainly an interview with found footage and pictures I will not need to do location research.
Health and safety is key to any film set so before the production starts I will carry out checks to make sure everything is safe and when I start filming all the cables will be safely put down so there is no risk of anybody getting hurt.
I have already started taking notes from other documentaries such as Inside the Ambulance and Louis Theroux to take inspiration and try to emulate what they have done. Now I have taken inspiration from their work I can try to use certain aspects such as the way they structure their documentaries in my work. I have already started to take some notes on the order of which I want my documentary to unfold.
For my production research I will continue to look into sound. It is a technique that you have to get right otherwise the final project will not work if the sound isn’t good enough to hear what my grandad is saying. Sound is vital to any project but for my project it’s vital. For my post production I will look into some professional editors talking about how they edit their final cut and how it brings it all together hopefully getting inspiration in order to help me with my final edit as my edit will be more complex as ill have to add pictures, found footage and the interview all together and merge them so they all fit and it all works smoothly.
Conclusion
- Framing Activity - Interview- Experiments- Surveys- Experimentation - Online research-
From doing the research above I collected very interesting data which will certainly help me with my project. The production research really helped me to refresh my knowledge on certain areas of editing and sound work that I will need in order to make my project as good as possible.

CHAPTER 4
Research Findings
In this chapter I will explain the research and the data that I collected. The topic of my documentary is fundamentally the war and what life was like during the war. I chose every question because I knew I would learn something from it. Each question would be able to help me when it comes to my project. Each activity likewise would help me to learn something and thankfully it did.
Findings/Data analysis
For my first experiment I completed a short framing task. By doing this experiment I was aiming to find out which shot I prefer and what shot looks better to use. However I believe this experiment has taught me I can use both of the shots and switch between the two. I really think this will work as I can have the shot that I believe shows real meaning and will capture the audience which is the first shot and I will then be able to incorporate the second shot into my interview also.
The second question I asked myself was what should be included in my project? To gather the data I needed I asked a few people what they think would work best in my documentary through a questionnaire whether that would be found footage, voiceovers and so on. I found that more people think found footage merged with pictures and voiceovers will work best. Personally I was aiming to use photos, videos and voiceovers and merge them together as I think this would work best but it also makes it much more entertaining for the audience rather than just one constant interview throughout.
My third experiment which was to record sound in different environments to see which one is the best to record in? This experiment was certainly an interesting experiment. Ultimately I know I am going to record my interview indoors which excludes noise interference so this experiment has helped me to realise this.

GO TO CONTENTS
I learnt a lot from the experiments and also the research that I carried out. The experiments specifically were just to see what works best for what I want and I certainly found that out after doing these experiments. Although they were not complex experiments they gave me the information that I needed as that’s all I needed to learn from them. I now know what to include in my documentary, where to record it and then I have found out exactly how I want my project to look.
The reason I have chosen to do a documentary on the war is due to how much I love documentaries and how interesting I find documentaries to be. As I mentioned in chapter 1 everything I have done over the last two years have all contributed to me wanting to make a documentary. I find history the most interesting topic as there is always something you can learn that’s new when it comes to history. I want my grandads stories and memories to be remembered for a long time and I also want the younger generations to hopefully learn something from this documentary, this along with other factors that I have mentioned previously is what makes me want to do my project and complete it to the best of my ability. My choice of doing a documentary has been influenced by the many stories I have heard from my grandad talking about his experience but also the many trips to war sites in France and even Dover. Both have really made me so interested in the history of the war. My project is a short documentary, I will use found footage, photos and the od voice over to explain my grandads experiences throughout World War 2 whilst living in Dover during the war. I want to achieve a very interesting, professional and appealing documentary to my target audience. This documentary is very appealing to everyone especially people who love documentaries and the war however personally I believe anyone will enjoy this documentary as it will be fun to watch and very fascinating documentary on the war.
There are many similar documentaries to mine for example World War 2 in Colour and WW2 Behind closed Doors (2008). There are similarities and differences from both the documentaries above and my documentary. Firstly they are both based on the war that is the obvious similarity however a difference is both the documentaries are based purely on the fighting during the war whereas mine is an individual personal story, I will include some context on the war and that is the similarity but mine is a first-hand documentary about a boy during the war where they talk about the fighting. I have taken a lot of inspiration from documentaries such as the two above from where they use interviews to get the anecdotal stories into their documentaries. In chapter two I referred to documentaries that weren’t based on the war to see how they structure their documentaries. I referred to one specifically which was Inside the Ambulance. I really liked the way they got the interviewees to look straight down the camera when talking about something that happened to them it was really emotional and I felt a real connection with what they were talking about and this is what I want to emulate in my documentary. I will get my grandad to look straight down the camera when talking as it is personal to him.
From watching other similar media products I have found that they are all related in some way whether that’s the way they structure it or the content within. I believe it’s pivotal with documentaries that the information in your documentary is authentic and makes sense but I believe it also has to be relatable for people to want to watch it. Most documentaries are giving out information if you are watching it you want to learn something you want to better your knowledge on something and that is exactly what I have learnt by watching these similar media products. In most circumstances you aren’t going to watch a documentary on history if you have no interest in history at all so that’s why I must make my documentary appealing to everyone.

Idea 1- My first idea was obviously this documentary on my granddad and his experiences throughout the war. I thought of the idea when I was sat with him and he was telling me continuously loads of stories about what he went through and I thought I want to document this as I want his stories to be heard as he is now 86 and it is great that he is able to remember all this when he was only young at the time.
Idea 2- My second idea was to get creative and create my own piece of line art such as the one above using John Lennon’s line art as inspiration. I have briefly touched upon art within chapter 12 where I done line art but I didn’t go deep enough into it. I touched the surface but doing it for my project I could have done a lot of research into art and specifically line art from years and years back to when John Lennon got his inspiration.
When it comes to choosing what idea I wanted to do for my project it was easy for me to choose. I knew I could do a lot of research for both ideas however the documentary I felt I could get stuck into more as it is personal to me and I have experience in doing documentaries so I felt I could make it as professional as possible. I am very good at drawing and art but I was questioning what I could draw for my project and whether it would be enough so that is why I went for my documentary.
The documentary is viable for me to make as it is simply an interview with my grandad. It will get complex as I have to add in photos and found footage but it is certainly achievable for me to make a good documentary especially as I have knowledge on how to make documentaries as I have done them before. The idea for doing art is again certainly viable but I do not know so much about art as I do for history.

GO TO CONTENTS
Conclusion
The research that I carried out both primary and secondary really helped me. It gave me the opportunity to see how other documentaries were structured, it gave me the opportunity to get inspiration on what to put in my documentary and how I can frame it. I was able to get feedback from my peers and others on what I should put in my documentary which also really helped to get others perspectives on what they would like to see as well. I really enjoyed doing the primary research as it allowed me to experiment and learn through first-hand experience on what would work best in my documentary. My secondary research really helped with just being able to look at other documentaries and seeing what I can possible take from theirs knowledge wise and put in mine. Overall the research that I have done over the last two chapter have really informed my project and have now given me the knowledge to produce a very good documentary.
