From week 1 to week 6 we were inundated with incredible techniques that would assist our film structure. Techniques I took a particular liking to were archival footage, taking a position and poetic and contemplative. These techniques really opened up my eyes to the logistics of documentary creating.
Through discovering new techniques and experimenting by creating our own footage, I was able to discover my strengths and weaknesses when testing with film. I found a strength in finding archival footage and merging it with my own footage. Recycling previous videos made by other creators and reassembling it into something else.
I aim over the last few weeks to create a documentary that includes the techniques to my strengths to ensure it is engaging and well made. I need to challenge myself to discover new resources and footage of documentaries outside the course to educate myself on different styles and elements. Additionally this will help me gain inspiration to further my own video.
