Main Production Piece

My main production piece that I will be presenting is a Documentary between 5-10 minutes. It is basically about young filmmakers, and how hard it is to break into the industry and what opportunities there are for recent graduates in media related courses in the Sheffield area. The film has been produced in a group of 4 of us, and this is my version of the edit.

Below is my first attempt to create a structure to the film, with a few establishing shots being narrowed down at the beginning (out of screenshot), to then picking out the best parts of the interviews we conducted with the public in Sheffield city centre.

Later, I cut down the interviews with the public to around 2 and a half mintues, and they are really starting to look good.

I also decided to include a part at the beginning of the film whereby the interviewer would ask 'How would you describe a typical media student?' to which the interviewees' natural responses are 'erm,' and this creates an opening that instantly explains what the film entails. I like its straight-to-the-point attitude, and the quick change after that to the establishing shots of Sheffield. These would then lead onto the voiceover which will be edited later on.
