Digital Camcorders History
How can I make a student documentary?
For school, we have to enter a contest called National History Day, in which you must create a project. I have decided that I am probably going to make a documentary. What would I need to do this. I think I could get a camera from the school, or if you know of any inexpensive digital camcorders, please tell me. Also, do you have reccomendations for any inexpensive movie-making software good for school documentaries. And lastly, what are some ways I can make the documentary look professional, and do well in the contest. Thank you very much!
well, to make a documentary requires
1) camera, try and borrow one.
2) there are free movie makign software on the net, but right now, i can’t think of one right now. if you know somebody with a macintosh with the latest software, i think it has movie editing software on it.
3) to make it look professional, you gotta read some books on movie making, learn how to make the movie visually interesting, but not shocking, and exploitative. oh yeah, do not exploit anybody, or harass ppl, you have to learn about ethics in reporting.
4) and even before you consider putting to gether your documentary you have to first discover what you want to document, or interview. you have to put together a proposal on what you want to do, how you go about doing it, and what kind of research (library, living people, photos, etc.) to include in your documentary. you can just spontaneously go out and document something, because you’ll only look foolish, and unprofessional.
5) very important: bias, if you are interviewing ppl, or gathering data, you have to ask questions that do not introduce personal bias/propaganda into the documentary. this is very difficult. if you want to win any kind of documentary contest, this is one skill you will have to learn and master.
