Discuss how you used your pre-production material in your final production. In the final production of our nine minute documentary we used our pre- production material to give ourselves an overview of entire project. We sent over segments of the documentary and made sure it was all matching our pre -production. Whilst editing we made the materials as resourceful as possible, keeping the documentary as close to our pre-production as possible.
Was it helpful to you? How? The pre-production materials were helpful to us as we looked over them whilst filming and editing. With each piece of footage we checked our pre-production materials before deciding how and what to film, same with the editing, we checked our pre-production list for any plans of editing techniques such as crossfading.
Discuss how you used your storyboards. The storyboards produced gave us a simple yet functional layout for the work produced but allowed wiggle room for any amendments we needed to make in order to produce the best possible shots and footage to be incorporated into our documentary, these adjustments included things such as location changes shot changes and angle alterations. Additionally they provided a on the spot plot reminder so that we would remain in keeping with the documentary’s aesthetic.
Were your contact sheets useful? The contact sheets proved to be the least useful of our resources due primarily to the fact that we possessed the necessary contact detail prior to their introduction in various forms and storage devices such as phones and email address books.
Did you look back over your material list in order to know what was required? We did indeed both before and during to ensure that we were prepared for filming and were using the most appropriate and efficient materials for the job. Furthermore we used our materials list to help us stockpile equipment and do further online research into more updated versions of equipment.
How did all your research help your final product? The initial research gave a greater understanding of the functions of the human brain with regard to anxiety and stress related disorders. Furthermore this helped us to develop a greater of diversity of question for our “experts” in the respective field so as to make our documentary more informative and diverting for the viewer.
How did you use your production schedule?
Did the scripts help during your final production? The scripts proved exceedingly useful in coordinating those involved with what we deemed to be content appropriate responses. They were used constantly prior to and on multiple occasions during filming for those involved to have a quick and easy reference point. However some of those involved choose to diverge from the script in order to add a more unique edge.

Synopsis
Our production will be a documentary on the fear of flying (Aviaphobia). The group contains four of us: Ryan, Zac, Sophie and Hayley; we intend to work together to produce a documentary on Aviaphobia, making a presentation with archive footage of an airport from YouTube, filming interviews of eight experts, such therapists, doctors and an airhostess to gain their advice on how to overcome this phobia and what their opinion on the phobia is. We will be also be using footage of an animated tour simulation of Heathrow airport to give the audience a good conception of what Heathrow airport is like. We have chosen to do this as Zac suffers from Aviaphobia and found this interesting for an idea to turn into a project. We will be spending most of our time editing videos from the footage we have collected to produce the most appealing presentation. We will include a voiceover to give statistics of matters like how many flights from Heathrow happen a year, how many people suffer from Aviaphobia and rumours that have been said to ‘cure’ the fear.
