1. Production Diary B2 – Sunderland Documentary

2. Designing the set The set I used to film my monologue sequence of the documentary was built by my dad in his studio, he constructed the walls and mounted the TV. I dressed the set for my documentary however, it was important to me that the backdrop was themed to suit the theme of my documentary, so I chose to decorated with all my Sunderland AFC memorabilia. I draped the flag and scarves over the shelf, securing the scarf with tape and kept the scarfs secure with a Styrofoam mannequin head that I also dressed in a Sunderland themed bucket hat. I also utilised the TV by streaming a picture of the documentary’s thumbnail to it, I am pleased with the way it looked and think it does a great job of creating an environment for the video.

3. Filming the monologue To film my monologue, I used my dad’s studio and camera set up as well as his boom mic, which was positioned just out of frame in this photo. This set up was helpful as it is exactly how I pictured the set and cameras looking when I wrote the script. I read the script from a teleprompter that was positioned just underneath the camera, so I didn’t have to look away to read the script. Filming my monologue was difficult as I had to adjust to using a teleprompter for the first time; filming the whole script took approximately 3 hours including brakes and set-up. During filming, we had no technical issues however physical exhaustion was certainly a problem to overcome so to combat this I took regular breaks between different sections of the script.

4. Equipment In the filming process I used different equipment to create my documentary. Firstly, I used a canon DSLR camera to film myself, I also attached a teleprompter to the camera to make it easier to read the script. The teleprompter was an app on an iPad which was placed in a configuration such as the one on the right. For the lighting, I used a bright overhead light (such as the one on the right) to make sure the shot wasn’t too dim, and my face was lit to the proper lighting.
