Production Diary

Production Diary


Definition:
  A production diary is an account of the making of something within the media industry. This could be in the form of a film or a television show.

Coming Up With The Idea and Deciding How To Go About Making The Documentary:
 When mind mapping our initial ideas, we decided to make a documentary about book to film franchises and vis versa. Our main goal was to aim the documentary at a wide target audience because books and films appeal to people of all ages and do not specifically fit into one small target audience group. We felt like using examples of popular franchises in our documentary such as Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. We felt this way because if we included franchises that are well known, then there would be a greater opportunity for a wider audience because more people would have a genuine interest in what we have to say. We decided as a group to film students from the college and people from outside of the college, this way would could collect a variety of different opinions about different book to film franchises.

Filming
  When we filmed in the college media studio, we have one person controlling the lighting, one controlling the camera and another crew member directing. This was effective because we could get the footage recorded quickly and efficiently.
