Exploring Documentary's : My Five Minutes of Fame...

I have recently been in a TV documentary for a professional production team (the show will be aired on channel five so I say it was my five minutes of fame), and it gave me real taster into the professional side of media. Firstly it helped me develop my skill of different shot's and heights used when creating a documentary. I learnt that even in professional TV many shots have to be repeated again and again to get it right (no one is perfect at media). It also showed me "if you had the same budget as the professional", the different lighting and sound equipment you could use when creating the opening two minutes. Not only did it give me an insight into the technical side of media, it also made me think a lot more about documentaries, I am keen to explore this genre further and has helped me come up with an aim of developing a powerful, impacting, emotional opening two minutes for my foundation production. However I have made a mind-map of all the possible ideas that I could do for my production. The mind-map explores different genre's, mise-en-scene and the narratives. As I have always said you not only need a plan A and B, but also a plan C, D and F!
