AS Task - Planning

One of the first things that we planned was our setting. We have chosen to use the Wicked Cafe at college because it has a relaxing feeling and it will appeal to the age of the target audience, teenagers, as this is a place that they can relate to, especially ones who go to our college. We then thought about who we were going to interview and the person who we have decided on is a member of our media class who we can trust will give a good interview because she knows all of the codes and conventions herself as well as understanding what we are trying to achieve as she has to do the same task.
We have also begun our story board for the documentary. We want our first shot to be of a telephone mast to establish the subject of our documentary, mobile phones. Our second idea is to have one hand staying in the same place and changing the phones in it to show all of the different types you can get, for example, a flip phone, a sliding phone, a touch screen phone and a normal button phone. This will introduce the start of the documentary and reinforce the subject of it. We have come up with an idea to fade an image of a phone saying, "1 message received from ..." into an image of the interviewee and the documentary will begin. We are unsure if this will work though so it may not happen. We will plan the cutaway shots after we have filmed the interview because they need to relate to her answers.



We have now filmed the interview for the documentary so we have planned our cutaways. Some of them will have to be pictures off the Internet because of our time frame we wont have time to get all of the images we would like. Most of the cutaways will just be general ones with people phoning others or texting rather than being specific to what she says all of the time. However, this will still relate to the documentary as they show general usage of mobile phones.
