short documentary outline

1 .Give a brief summary of your story idea:
We investigate whether is it worth going to University? or is it just a scam into getting our money? we interview students, teachers, parents and principals to find out what they think.

2. Give as much detail as possible by answering the 5Ws and 1H

Who is it about?:	About students from age 18+ who are thinking about going to university and whether it is worth it going to university also about teachers and parents who 'brainwash' their students/kids into thinking that university is the only way to succeed.
What happened?:	University may not be the only way to success and that we should try and teach our kids to be more creative in their own way to create their own future. therefore, Students may be going to university because of parents and teachers say so - ''if you want to get a good job, you must go to university''. but do students really know what they want to do? or are they just going to uni for the sake of studying?
Where did it take place?:	Everywhere around the world.
When did it take place?:	years and the increase may have gone higher now that the tuition fees are even more expensive.
Why did it happen?:	Because more and more students who graduate from university are unemployed and in debt because of high tuition fees. this might of caused a high rise of unemployment in the UK because students may only just go to university for the sake of it but not get enough experience for the job that requires that skill.
How did it happen?:	high tuition fees, may be putting off to some people in the public also there are more  internships and apprenticeships available to students therefore given students who aren't in university to stay active and more ''hands on'' with the job rather than going to a classroom every week.

Overall Evaluation

During my pre-production, I didn't research enough about fashion magazine and looked at only one magazine when I should be looking at different varieties of fashion magazines. this would of helped me to inspire my moodboard a little bit more and give me more ideas on how I will create my own photography portfolio.
However, I did manage to find a simple photographic technique that is very achievable and doesn't require lots of props. My idea was the teen vogue magazine, I asked a classmate to model for me for the shoot because I believed that she was suited for the magazine.

I noticed that in all of teen vogue's magazine images the models are based outside and not in the studio but because due to the weather on the day of the shoot, the natural lighting wasn't bright enough where instead I used a blank studio background as my alternative background for the photo's. I should of thought about it more carefully and decide to use the green screen in the studio instead and paste a bright scenery instead of using a blank background.

In my post-production, I was pleased that I was able to achieve the magazine style of photography skills where the camera creates a full body shot of the model to show off her fashionable clothing and the expressions of the model. What I did not achieve that I should of asked if the model had any bright/bold coloured clothes as some of the clothing in the magazine were quite bold and rich in colour.

TASK 3: MIND MAP

My video pitch

video installation research (task 1)

This article will be about controversial video art installations that has caused a twisting response from the public and whether or not if its appropriate. The artists I will be focusing on is:

• Bill Viola
• Wolf Vostell
• David Wojnarowicz

Bill Viola

Most of Bill Viola's video art that he produces relates to life and death and he has stuck with this theme throughout his time creating video art installations. It has became his artistic identity within the art world - This is where his work leads to a controversial issue to the public.

An example of his work (Above) called ''Anthem'' started off showing construction buildings, city areas, fruits, bread and vegetables; further on to the video, it started displaying insides of fruits as this relates to the human body. Life in this piece is represented through cities, food and humans whereas death is related to out-of-date fruits and vegetables, insides of an eye lid and an opened body. The camera techniques used in Viola's work was still, the camera did not move at all which became the focus of the scene; he described this piece as ''Our deepest primal fears, darkness and the separation of the body and spirit'', the audience found this very dark and extremely graphical because of the separation of the body and soul which might of caused religious believers to be upset about this particular art work.

Wolf Vostell 

An example of Wolf Vostell's work called ''Elektronischer: Happening Raum (Happening Room)’'' made in 1968, it was videotaped recorded with sound and colour, the video showed a spaced out room with objects scattered around. The items used in the video were classic televisions with weird tools attached to them that moved, an old pile of dirty, rugged clothing with meat on the floor and blood stained cloths. The video installation was set in a room which had strange happenings such as the television showing the key relevance about a past event also the shaky camera effect made it more unclear. Audience found this very confusing with questions unanswered due to the random meat and blood that was contained in this art. I believe that Vostell wants to tell the audience something and that he might be talking about the political society.

David Wojnarowicz
)
''Fire in my belly'' is David's most controversial piece which was done in 1987, this is famous for its biggest uproar in terms of video art due to the fact that it seemed that David has put religion down by putting an image of Jesus Christ with crawling insects all over him. The theme seemed to be very dark and gothic that it almost looked scary with a rotting hand. There was use of narration in this video as it had been said that he created this video in memory of his friend that had died from AID's, he was also suffering from the same disease when he made this video. He made this video to express his feelings; he felt that the world abandoned him and the US did nothing about this problem, he felt alone and felt that he was suffering the same pain as Jesus Christ. The audience thought it was irrelevant to add Jesus Christ and all the other religious imagery's that may have caused an uproar from religious believers.
