I hope to if I get the chance, to keep making impactful films that inspire change within the audience.]]> 2020-10-01 03:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/toda20231/obj95sg53obdmfii/wish/793507057 Voiceover toda20231 https://padlet.com/toda20231/obj95sg53obdmfii/wish/803339161 Allows the director to speak directly to the audience while showing something to add to the voice over or something just visually appealing.

I would use the voiceover to feed the audience information while still providing a visual stimuli, I will also use it as a audio background especially as its very difficult to find music that fits the informational theme]]> 2020-10-05 14:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/toda20231/obj95sg53obdmfii/wish/803339161 Re-Enactment toda20231 https://padlet.com/toda20231/obj95sg53obdmfii/wish/803343988 Allows to retell the story in a much more exciting way, can use camera tricks to help the audience differentiate between archival and re-enactment(Adding blurs,  or distortion) 

I would use reenactment to keep the audience engaged, especially as a bunch of interviews can get very boring very fast but I would also use it to build empathy from the audience as actions speak louder than words, saying "His mother died" compared to reenacting the death of the mother the reenactment is a lot more impactful.]]> 2020-10-05 14:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/toda20231/obj95sg53obdmfii/wish/803343988 Archival Footage toda20231 https://padlet.com/toda20231/obj95sg53obdmfii/wish/803366624 Footage that was not recorded for the specific documentary, it can also be historical footage or pictures. Used to save money and time or to show direct examples of the narrative.

I would use this as a time saving method, especially if the shot wanted is very difficult or expensive to obtain, we need to lug less equipment around and in total just film less, however too much archival footage does give the documentary a "fake or spurious look"]]> 2020-10-05 15:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/toda20231/obj95sg53obdmfii/wish/803366624
