There has been a school on the site of SFX for over 100 years. The first school to occupy the site was Clapham College, a fee-paying school for day boys and boarders, which became a state-funded grammar school in 1944. Another grammar school (St Gerard’s) joined Clapham College in 1975, and in 1977 the school went comprehensive along with all other schools in the Inner London Education Authority. To accommodate the new intake new buildings arrived to join the re-furbished Victorian buildings (re-furbished again in 2014!).

Categories: Codes & Conventions, GCSE, A Level
Below is a list of conventions applied to Documentary film making - it must be remembered that not all conventions apply to all film texts:

Hand held Camera - encoding realism and 'truth'

Narrative Voice Over - leading the audience into a preferred reading

Vox Pops and Interviews with experts / witnesses / participants

Often a shorter running time than non-fiction feature films

Intercutting / Parallel Editing linking key scenes

Use of Archive footage to support filmed scenes

Surveillance (information) decoded by audience (e.g. about McDonalds in Supersize Me)

Mediated culture - documentaries select and construct, thus encoding opinion and subjectivity

Selective editing crucial to constructing meaning

Often point of view with encoded ideology, preferred meaning

Use of Establishing Shot and Close Up

Observational, Interactive, Reflexive, Expository in format

3 act structure, closed investigative narrative

Often single stranded, linear - one subject is often the topic

Exploration of narrative themes, messages and values

Different purposes - to entertain, inform, educate, satirise, shock, satisfy, provide voyeuristic pleasure and for propaganda purposes (see Triumph of the Wild and Crown Film Unit documentaries - Fires Were Started, Britain Can Take It)

Characters are often hyper real, exaggerated stereotypes e.g. Charlton Heston and Michael Moore himself in Bowling for Columbine

Audience cultural capital needed to deconstruct some of the narrative content - more niche target audiences

Active and passive consumption

Mainly niche but sometimes mass audiences, dependent on distribution

Hegemonic and Pluralistic representations

Technical & Symbolic Codes and Conventions

Lighting

Low key lighting - social realism / mood / tone / artistic reasons

High key lighting - moral, idealistic realism / encodes POV

Key and fill lighting - Documentary realism

Camera and The Shot

Close up / Extreme close up - emotions...
