Shot List - First Draft

Roles within Group

Together as a group we chose who was going to do what job within filming the documentary.

Group Task 2

For our second group task we were given lists in which as a group we decided who would do out.
My part of the task were;

*Interviews: take photos and video clips.

*Expert opinions/ quotes/ interviews.

*What the whole series is about: the topic/ question - actual name of documentary.

*Who is the target audience.

Example of Logo/ Name of Documentary

The example of the logo was thought up by Mariana

Our name for the documentary 'Slanguage' was also made up by Mariana

First Group Task

For our first group task we had each looked at;

* 2 TV Documentaries and

* 2 Film Documentaries.

We looked at the different documentaries individually then put our presentations together.

We had to look for - shots we thought we could apply to our own documentary and also look for documantaries that link into what our documentary is about.

Below is my part of the presentation with videos that i found useful.

I used an orange background to show that the work was my part of the presentation.

First Group Meeting

Today we were put into our groups and came up with a colour key for ourselves so we could mark who has done what within the group;

Jamillia Joseph (Purple)
Mariana Cardoso (Pink)
Tobore Igbiri (Green)
Victoria Queiroz (Orange) - Myself
EVERYONE (Blue)

In our First Group Metting we have chosen to take forward my slang idea as it was the strongest idea out of the group. We then developed my idea further by discussing the aim and what the purpose of the documentary was going to be.
The purpose that we have come up with together is to inform teenagers about their use of language, with interviews of parents, teachers and teenagers. Our aim "Does informal language have a place in society" with focus on slang being used within education.
Time Sequence:

Slang = Language consisting of words and experssions that are not considered appropriate for formal occasions; often vituperative and vulgar.

Time;

1-2 minutes:
Channel intro,
Title intro,
Brief history on slang and
Presenter announcing to viewers our aims and purpose(Preview of show, with short highlights).

2-4 minutes:
Our views,
Interviews (some of slang translation)
Statistics of our research (creative)
Other views (For and Against)

4-5 minutes:
Conclusion addressing question "Does informal language have a place in society"
'Next on Slanguage'
Credits (with our names, the logo and made up web site)

So far we have;

• Chose an idea to take forward
• Developed it further
• Created a rough time sequence - to give us a rough idea of the time limit we had
• Came up with a name for both our documentary and our production
• Documentary = SlanGuage
• Production = JMTV Documentary - (a combination of our initials)
