Evaluation
In the making of the documentary factual Away with the wildlife, I had to take into consideration of whom I wanted my target audience to be, so I wrote up a proposal for my documenatry which you can find on my blog. Its then followed up by some more preproduction work.
After doing the paperwork I then had to start thinking about what I wanted to film and how I wanted to film it in order to capture the essence of a documentary. I had to set up a camera so that I could begin to film the movement of some of the safari animals. Once I filmed the animals, I began to edit them on Final cut which allowed me to rearrange the footage and put it in the order in which I wanted it, cut parts out, add audio and graphics. By using audio and graphics it made the footage look more like a documentary.
Although I edited my documenatry the best of my ability, I should have stuck to my criteria I think the documentary itself would have been filmed a lot better so that it wouldn't look as jumpy or delayed as I know I could have created a better documentary.
In the future when making a documentary my main concern would be to choose something that is easier to create and more so that I can relate it to some of the existing documentaires on the television today. Using survey monkey I set up an online questionnaire to get some research 50% said that it wouldn't be aired on the television because it doesn't look professional and the timing is delayed. 20% said that it appeals to the audience that its aimed at however the remaining 30% said that it needs improving.
