Production Meeting/Postmodernism

We had a production meeting today to discuss the prospect of our documentary script. We planned and scripted a rough outline of possible lines and drew a rough storyboard. We also chose to show the opening extract of our documentary (which will involve a lot of editing) and is about 5 mins.

 Postmodernism is sceptical about absolute truths, artistic, scientific, historical or political, so a secure sense o time and place is becoming more difficult to sustain. So we thought instead of promoting a morale free, careless, live for the moment attitude. We want to raise awareness and promote maturity, understanding and care about sex life. However we want to include artistic elements of postmodernism in our documentary. such as having fast paced images to illustrate a story or use as a additional part of the documentary to break the code and conventions of documentaries.

Target Audience Feed Back










Pre Production of Plenary Task

Documentary Poster Research

  • Documentaries also need additional advertising. They are usually in the form of posters or radio trailers. In order to decide what sort of poster to go to or what type of a radio trailer. We need to undergo a series of research, composition ideas, and layout.



Target Audience...

Concept of our Poster:
On our poster we would like to have our presenter (Georgina Johnson) in a well lit mid-shot (or full shot) on the left hand side of the poster. while in the background we have silhouette of couples who are in the dark and not well lit. As the documentary series is called 'out of the dark' we want the main body to be 'Out of The Dark' so this follows the concept of the documentary. We want our documentary poster to connote the message of the presenter being in 'The Know' and therefore 'Ot of the dark' when it comes to sexual health quires, issues etc...Therefore she has the knowledge and power to share her knowledge to out viewers.

A rough sketch to show the concept of our poster.


                                                                                          
After taking the photos of the silhouette it helped us to determine the composition of our poster. We used Photoshop to edit the photos. Illustrator as well as Indesign to make the poster.
