19th April-23rd April

This was our first week doing our fmp in my group was James Blackburn, who was producing the documentary. Greg Clarke, he was going to be directing the documentary. Me i was going to be the senior camera man, Matthew Olorenshaw, he was going to be the technical manager, Daniel Schoreder who was goung to do the graphics and website side of our project and Olivia Box who was our production assistant.

James had already come up with an idea about doing a Top Gear styled race from Stratford to Birmingham. We explained to phil our idea about the race, which was met by negative views saying, it doesnt tell a story, there is no point to it. So we changed our focus to The RSC in stratford and how a show is going to be put on there. But because we had some issues getting contacts that idea was also thrown out of the window. Phil suggested that we did our documentary on the upcoming Reverb Show and that was our finally chosen decision due to the fact we could compare older documentaries on the same topic and we could also get way better more trustworthy more contacts as they where constantly a matter of meters away from us, plus we were mates with the people making reverb.
In Johns lesson we focused on the narrative structure of the documentary, e.g. the exposition, the complication and also the solution of the documentary. We had give the documentary a story, and a point of whay we where doing our documentary.

I was given the task of advertising with Matt O and we looked at trailers on Stratcast we also researched advertising on the college intranet so when everyone logs on to the network then they will see our image and they may want to come along . We also planned to advertise on Facebook so people from other areas of the regoin can come to stratford and check out the show. We had to get our advertising research for our pitch on the following it also had to go onto the powerpoint presentation
