The budget for the making of my documentary is very low which means that the equipment I will have to use and the editing software will have to be cheap to use and means that it doesn’t cause me to spend to much money. The way in which I plan of over coming these difficulties is by filming my documentary with equipment which I am allowed to borrow free of charge (unless I break or loose any of it). This means that I don’t have to spend any of my budget on any equipment which I need in order to complete and film my documentary. Another way in which I have come over the struggle of having a small budget is by using editing software which is free for me to use. The software that i will be using is iMovie which is available and free to use within college as they are also supplying the macs at which I will use iMovie on and edit my documentary with. The final way at which I came over the fact that the budget for my documentary is small is by only using clips and music which aren’t copyrighted and means that I don’t have to pay the artist to be able to put there music in my documentary. All of these contribute to means that I will stick to my budget and wont go over the amount of money which I have as my budget.
The time schedule that I have set myself towards filming is that I will spend approximately 30 minuets in Croydon filming along the high street so that during pre-production I will be able to speed it all up and create a time laps with the clips which i have already filmed. I will also spend 10 minuets interviewing people and members of the public about here opinion on Croydon and the riots so that we are also given a wider variety of opinions on what people believe happened and how the police controlled it all. Then during pre-production and editing I plan on spending 4-5 hours editing and finishing off my documentary. All of this will mean that I complete my documentary in time and means that I am able to reach the deadline.
The only personnel in which will be taking part in my documentary are members of the public and also students at my school. This means that I don’t have to ask or book anybody specifically as it depends mostly on who will be available at the time when I will be filming my documentary. The time at which I will need personnel is during my filming in Croydon high street as I will be filming a time laps of people walking to and from Croydon which means that I don’t need to just specifically one person in particular during that scene at which I will be filming. Another time when I will need personnel is during my interviews as I will be interviewing students and other members of the public for it so that there is a variety of opinions so that more people will be able to relate to it and give there different opinion on the subject of Croydon during the riots. This all means that during non of my scenes I need a specific person or personnel which makes it easier to film all my scenes and complete them and film them when I have scheduled to film and complete them.
During the time filming my documentary I have not had to hire or rent out any facilities. The reason why I haven’t done this and haven’t had to do this is because when I have only needed one or two specific people to film it has only been for a short period of time, which means that I haven’t had to worry about the need of a facility. As well as that when I was filming with some specific people it was indoors and means that if they did need a facility it meant that they were close and in the same building and floor at which I was filming.
During the course of my filming for my documentary I only filmed only a small selection of locations. The locations at which I filmed at are: Croydon high street at which I filmed the clips to be able to create a time laps and create a back drop for the text which I use in my documentary. The other location at which I filmed at is inside my college, I will film the interviews inside my college because some of the members of the public which I will interview will go to my college or will work there. Another reason why is because if I did the interviews outside then it could mean that the audio isn’t as good as I would like it to be considering the wind and other background noises.
During the time of my filming the only location and place where I needed clearance was to be able to film my interviews inside one of the classrooms. The reason why I needed clearance for there is because a teacher could be teaching in there at the same time at which I want to be able to film and may mean that I have to move location to film, but luckily the classroom wasn’t being used during the same time when I wanted to film. If for example I wanted to film inside the whitgift centre or inside central in Croydon then I would have to get clearance to be able to film in there and would need to have security authorization with it.
All of the clips, footage and music that I will be using in my documentary wont have copyrights as that makes it easier for me to use and means that I don’t have to ask for permission. But if there is a clip or bit of music that i wish to use then I will have to ask the person who created that clip of bit of music if i will be able to have it in my documentary and come to an agreement with them to do with it.
As I have been creating and filming my documentary I have insured that I haven’t broken the codes of practice and regulations because my documentary isn’t offensive or harmful to anyone at all which means that I haven’t broken the broadcasting code. If I had broken the codes of practice and regulations then it would of meant that my documentary wouldn’t of been suitable to be released and means that my documentary would be taken down and I would probably have to re-do my documentary of take it back to pre-production and made sure that it was then suitable.
