Evaluative commentary

Our first ideas were just to film James working out in the gym and speaking about his illness and how it effected his life and career, however we found that the idea wasn't strong enough and wouldn't interest our audience enough. We then found out that James was taking party in a charity workout event for 'Save the Children' foundation, this gave myself and Ryan the idea to film a pre talk with James before him taking out in the workout and then an after talk. We also included shots of James and other people taking part in the workout, this made our documentary seem more interesting and entertaining.
We used two cameras to film our documentary to make it more interesting for our viewers so that we could change from one angle to another, we also added in short clips of James working out to our documentary to make it more entertaining as well as just listening to James answer our questions which we had prepared for him and talking about his life. We also thought it would be a good idea to add an interview into our documentary, we interviewed Camilla from 'Save the Children' this would give our audience a more detailed description of what the charity is about and what the money James has raised for them is going towards. We also added titles to this part of our documentary explaining how much money they need to be able to buy certain things. To conclude my final production overall i am very pleased with our documentary. A long the way i have learnt how to fully use final cut and add short clips as well as titles throughout my documentary. I also so how to add in a voice over over the top of some of my previously filmed footage. I also learnt a lot about the charity itself and how James has helped.
