The production: We are going to work together to do a documentary on the fear of flying (aerophobia, aviatophobia, aviophobia or pteromerhanophobia). We intend to do this with by filming Zac's reactions, actions and his comments. We will put voiceover with statistics and soundtrack. We have chosen to do a documentary for this project as we collaberate well in researching, presenting and recording.
The finance - The only use for financial issues we will have is the cost for travelling to and from locations (Heathrow airport) for our on-location recording.
Time - We will manage our time effectively, we will split up the tasks between the four of us to run the project efficiently. The most time consuming part of the production is most likely to be the on-location recording for our footage of the airport.
Personnel - The group for the project includes myself, Zac, Sophie and Hayley. We decided to work together from previous projects where we have collaberated well to achieve the task at hand.
Facilities - An editing suite to use CS5 and Cubase,
Materials - two cameras, two tripods, dolly (possibly), harness (possibly), H2 ZOOM,
Contributors - Contributing to this documentary we will be interviewing different professionals for their views and opinions on aerophobia.
Locations - Heathrow airport will be used for our on-location recording, we will film a time lapse of the airport and record Zac's dialogue. We will visit a hospital so that we can consult a doctor and get their views on this phobia and how it can be subsided. We will also visit a herbalist, pharmacist, massagist and a therapist in search of different views to get both medical and natural remedies for axiety, stress and tension that comes with to aerophobia.
Codes and regulations we'll need to follow -
Voicover: The voiceover will usually be authorative in some way, encouraging the audeince to think that they either have some kind of specialist knowledge or, as in the case of people like Micahel Moore and Nick Broomfield: 'the right' opinions that people should pay attention to.
Footage: Documentaries are essentialy seen as 'non-fiction' although there are debates around this. However a convention of ducumentaries is that all events are presented to us are to be seen as 'real' by the audeince. Documentaires often go to great lengths to convince us that the footage is real and unaltered in anyway, although editing and voiceover can affect the 'reality' we, as the audience, see.
Interviews with experts: Used to authenticate the views expressed in the documentary. Sometimes, they will disagree with the message of the documentary, although the film maker will usualy disprove
