Planning - New magazine front cover mock up

This is my updated magazine front cover. I added in the new main image and I think it makes the front cover look much better. The whole upper body of the model is in shot compared to being slightly out of shot on my previous front cover. Looking at the parts of the magazine, I mostly kept everything the same, however I had to change the layout for the coverlines to fit with the new main image. I made the puff a slightly darker shade of grey to match with the mise en scene and moved it down slightly to suit the main image. I also made sure that all the fonts were the same to give off a clean look. What I learnt from doing this is that it is important to take multiple photos so you can ensure you choose the best one for you. I was convinced my previous image was the best I could get until I took more photos and and happier with the one now.

Research - Bill Nicholl - 6 modes of documentary

https://voicethread.com/myvoice/thread/28529366 Reflection - Researching Bill Nicholl and his 6 modes of documentary has been very educational. By learning about each 'mode' of documentary, it has given me a variety of structures to choose from, that I can follow for my own production.

If I was to a documentary about mountain safety, I could include interviews with Mountain Rescue members, to help deliver a clear message across. I also quite like 'observation' documentaries, which observe the truth and capture 'uninterrupted' footage. However, I am not sure how well that would work with a mountain safety documentary, as I doubt Mountain Rescue would let me film them doing a real rescue callout.

Critical Questions - Advanced

Critical Questions  How did your research inform your products and the way they use and challenge Conventions?   This essay is about my A2 coursework documentary, ‘Mountains Bite Back’. Documentary is a technique of showing a non-fictional plot to get an essential message or theme across to your target audience, being defined by John Grierson, who was known as the ‘Father of documentary’, as “the creative treatment of actuality”. My product follows the typical conventions such as drone footage, interviews and voiceovers, being an expository documentary. I took inspiration from David Attenborough’s ‘Planet Earth’, which allowed me to understand how these conventions are used correctly for a documentary of this nature. I filmed my interview in a conventional way to contrast the fast-paced action of the Mountain Rescue teams responding to callouts. Unfortunately, some of this material had to be taken from their own archives, because of the health and safety contraints of being ab...
