GANGS

Constraints experienced 


At the beginning of my documentary, it was difficult to use college cameras so i used my iphone to film the most of the documentary. My documentary was about an issue located and situated in mostly Coulsdon College, so using cameras and technology was quite easy because i used an iphone to film the documentary. I filmed all of the location shots on the camera owned by the college, I also used my Mac laptop at home to edit most of the documentary. I found it much more easy filming with the iphone and i am happy that i done that instead of filming on normal cameras Other than these, there were no other limitations or constraints experienced in the process of the making of my documentary.


management of the production

I feel like I managed my production very well as I managed the time in which I am allowed to use cameras to film in my documentary. Every shot was key in my production and I feel I managed this well to the best of my ability because i made sure everyone who i interviewed was aware of what i was trying to do. I managed time outside of school to film shots outside of college grounds as I filmed the first minute of my documentary in my work place located at Crystal Palace Football Club,. I managed to interview people in a very organised matter, in which I organised a time slot for each interviewee to be interviewed. I made sure that i took my time editing the documentary so it can come out the best. 

The production process of the documentary I organised myself through the course of the project through making sure I know what shots I had to take and in what conditions I would have to get the clips to portrays the specified atmosphere and emotion I would like at the time. However, this process also made sure that I would have to wait for the right conditions which made it really time consuming and very close towards the deadline of the production. Also within the editing section of the production I managed to improvise by using text to provide information to the audience instead of providing the material through using voice overs due to the filming overlapping with the editing phase, if I had more time to improve I would provide a more extended documentary including the use of voice overs and maybe a few more transitions.
