report on youtube documentary

YouTube documentary

the idea

I have created a documentary on storm Doris to show people what the weather is really capable off
I done this as its a very valuable lesson to many people as many people miss judge the weather due to how advance our building skills and other things are. now it will show to many people about the weather and different problems it causes.
in this I used a variety of different transitions and different effects.

my research

https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/double-decker-bus-blown-over-12649223 I used this website show find out what incidents had actually happened

this shows all of the after maths of storm Dorris and how they effected us

this was a major piece in my work as it was the only death throughout storm Doris


feedback

 many people watched my video and many people commented different things
some prior things where to
  •  change my background through out the documentary
  • sort the audio out as it distorts creating a really bad noise 
  • shorten the video to give more attention to people
  • some cuts are jarring, perhaps some transition shots would help.
  • , try trimming some clips down to just the interviews, as there are some extra bits that are more for the editing.

my target audience.


my target audience was aimed at no-one in-particular. this is because it was educational for all ages. If I was to aim this at a certain aged it would be for people that are currently in school and learning.
this is because they can learn about the different case studies such as storm Doris to then learn how they work and what their features are.

documentary 


video idea

the video idea was to create a video which explored the different views of how a storm could effect a family. we interviewed many different people and we explored how it effected different areas of the country and what chaos it had caused.

storyboard and script

Script….
(exterior, outside building, wide tracking to close.)

A: Since storm Doris there are still people being affected by it. From homeless to people that have lost members of families.
Today I’m going to go back and look at the reasons why it happened and what the storm caused. Now some people may think oh it was just a stronger gust of wind than usual, but it was more than that causing all sorts of problems throughout England and wales. Starting from fallen lorries to collapsing trees, storm Doris was one of the strongest winds we’ve had in the history of UK extreme weather.

(interviews beginning) (shot 2, interior, wide still studio)
So here today I have ………… with me and today we’re going to be talking about storm Doris.
What was your first experience of storm Doris?
……………………………………………………………………………………...
So ………. How was you effected by the wrath of storm Doris?
……………………………………………………………………………………
Knowing these things did this effect other members of your family.
……………………………………………………………………………………
If you could go back and change your experience of the storm what would you do.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
That what ………………………… and thank you for coming and joining us today on here
(interviews ending) (interior, mid shot to wide creative studios hallway.)
So, there you have it folks the brutal storm showed no mercy to anyone. And here’s how it begun, first it started with fallen trees, but we could deal with that a few trees had fallen we could remove them in no time. Then it was trees falling onto cars. We still weren’t too worried, yet the reporters still told us to stay inside. Then something unbelievable happened. A woman dead, death by debris, never have I ever seen someone more shocked in my life. From police to reporters to the presenters.
Now to many people this was a major warning to stay inside. Yet schools where still open people still went to work, and kids still went to the park to play. On the 23rd of February 2018 at approximately 1:20pm a bus driver had a disturbing crash. Whilst passengers where abroad the double decker but was tipped by the brute force of the raging winds storm Doris brought with it.
A lot of people asked how storm Doris was created, many people replied tail winds but in fact, storm Doris was caused by a weather bomb. this is when a gush of wind is formed under a Jetstream and causes the wind to rapidly increase in speed while the air pressure decreases causing giant gusts of winds meaning the wind has increased in speed and causes more problems.
My name is Ainslie Andrews and thank you for watching.


what I did in my post production time.








here is my post production. I spent most of my time editing and after that I went through to see if I could change anything such as my videos involving a greens screen to create better quality videos and have better sound so there's no feedback or any distortion.






research for my article


I used man different sources for my research. some are shown in the final production of my documentary. flashing between the different slides I showed many things like the tragedy of the woman who was killed by murder or the bus that was tipped by the raw force of the winds that storm Doris brought with it. some of the links to these things are

uploading it

when it came to uploading it I added in a whole new thumbnail and included a bold title to it.


paperwork for the recording(recce, risk assessment,equipment list 







evaluation

overall I believe that I done good with my project but I believe that I could've made a shorter version as it drags a bit and I could've increased the audio quality to increase the performance of my video. but I believe that for my 2nd project I have set some really high standards for the rest of them meaning that from now on I will only improve on my work and my level of quality will either remain or get higher over the time in this course.

story boards

for this shot I will do a wide shot but to change it up I could tack it to me or I may zoom in to a medium shot. this is because it interacts with the background more.  



















 this contrasts between all three different shots and changes up between them like tracking or switching between shots like mid to close up or wide to close up.
some of these shots will be used in my documentary  like the wide tracking shot, this is because it changes up the background and how it is and how it performs
I will use close ups to build dramatic tension between the character and the viewer I could use a mid shot for things like maybe shooting videos over somebodies shoulder to create the effect of speaking to one and other.

storm dorris

storm dorris has effected a huge part of england and wales and its strength frightened us all.it haunted us day in day out for a few day storm dorris with scrambled all through England and wales and not only injured but kill people.

as it hunted down its targets storm dorris put anything down in its way from lorries to double decker buses to trees and even roofing on some buildings. this created chaos throughout the country from blocking roads to killing people to even making people homeless. jobs where lost vehicles damaged and businesses destroyed. at one point during the storm all buses from my local village where called in, the wind was to strong.they had already had one incident with a double decker bus now all bus companies had to be cautious. this endangered the lives of passengers and the driver

mean while in whales the wind was so strong it hand caused debris to fly around and hit a young woman damaging her head and later on killing her.roads blocked and a Ferrari sunk. however that Ferrari wasn't driven into the water. it was pushed by the brute force of the wind.

storm dorris was caused by a wether bomb. this is when a gush of wind is formed unda a Jetstream and causes the wind to rapidly increase in speed while the air pressure decreases causing giant gusts of winds meaning the wind has increased in speed and causes more problems.




in conclusion I would suggest to stay in during a storm such as storm doris for your own protection and the others around you .
