Friday- "Was all about setting up the different locations of where he was going to shoot... For example in his house, putting the camera in the right places, getting his nephew in the right places at the right time. In order to observe him properly. I watched Kyreece play games and watch TV, and did running shots, to discover what I needed to find out."
Saturday- "Next I got Kyreece (aged 5) ready to go to the park to watch him play around with a football or on the swings, showed him acting his age. Until I had problems with the camera again, which is when I decided to go home and get some more shots of him playing with the laptop, phone and watching TV. I started researching everything about the camera, trying to find out what was going on with it, so that next time I will be able to overcome this problem. I found so much whilst doing this..."
During Ali's research he found many different techniques to use in out documentary to show the addiction to gaming and TV. For example the 'Packman' one, which makes the lights in the shot to become that shape, which will emphasise the fact that we all see what we addicted to all the time. The fact that it makes it looks like it's in the sub-conscience, so always thinking about it, even in your sleep.
The music tone in the background is particularly interesting to us; the piano is a soft under tone to the quite eye catching colours. We would like to use this kind of music in our documentary, so that it doesn't take away meaning from the actual shots but allows something to keep the audience interested whilst they are watching- to allow something to fill the space when we are taking transition or establishing shots.
This might be something that the audience can watch whilst the narrator is talking, so that the audience can view watch the narrator is trying to illustrate- explaining what they are looking at, or explaining the next transition.
