Planning

2. Mindmap
Our preliminary task, ‘It’s good
to talk’ focused on the topic of
mobile phones. In order to get
an idea about what our
documentary might include, we
first draw a mind map about the
connotations we might have
when we think about ‘mobile
phones’. This included songs
we associate with mobile
phones, their role in society ,
ideas about documentary titles
as well as ideas for cutaways,
props etc. As a result of the
brainstorm, we came up with
the title ‘On a Wi-High’.

3. Storyboard
After mind-mapping our ideas, we
began creating a storyboard of how
the documentary may run. Our
storyboard included sketches of what
will be on screen with information
on; the shot type used, a description
of what will be happening, sound and
what editing techniques we will use.
We have tried to follow the codes and
conventions of interviews-placing the
interviewee off centre with their eye
line focusing on the interviewer. For
the cutaways, we will use images
associated with the topic and the
mise-en-scene of the shots will reflect
the topic also.
