PRODUCTION LOG - Working on Research tasks


In today's lesson I have worked on my research tasks; I mainly looked at the short film "Alive in Joburg" which is directed by the director who I researched into Neill Blomkamp. First, I watched the film all the way through once taking in as much as I could (and enjoying it).


 

            I found the film on YouTube.  It’s had over 35,000 views and has been re-uploaded several times, this makes it difficult for me to understand fully how many views it actually has.
            I then opened a word document and played the film. I paused it every time I found something that I deemed good enough to write about. I then opened the word document and wrote a paragraph about it. I coupled the paragraph with screen grabs from the video to make it more engaging.
            First I noticed the documentary-type style of the short film. I established that this added a sense of realism to the film as it could easily be passed off as a legitimate news broadcast.
            In the end I eventually wrote two whole pages of information, I then uploaded it to slide share and ticked it off of my checklist.
