Supporting piece

Another aspect for our doccumentary is that we have to create a seperate piece of work to support our doccumentary. This is called a ansillary and can be in the form of a newspaper article, a poster or bilboard, a radio advert, reviws, advertising campaign etc...

We have decided that our ansillary piece will be a newspaper article on Sam Sturt, another newspaer article on the the positive and negative impacts of the Olympics which willbe more satrical, political and more informative towards our documentary. We will also be making a poster or bilboard explaining what our doccumentary will be about.

Olympic site filming

We have had a responce from the Olympic commitee regarding filming on the olympic site. They have said we are not allowed to film directly on the site due to safety reasons however we are allowed to go to a place called greenway where there is a good view of the the olympic building site where we will be allowed to film.

Progress Update

We have decided to do a visual diary of our planning and preparation for our documentary. We have recorded this in the media room where i discussed the current progress we have made.

Archive

Part of our production process will be using archive from other sources. We are planning to use this archive as it will give our work more depth and make the production more interesting as a whole.

The archive we are hoping to collect will be famous clips from Olympic moments such as Usain Bolt etc and possibly the building progress of the Olympic site. We are also trying to find a pice of archive footage of when London won the Olympic bid as a opening shot fot our documentary.

When using this archive we need to be careful not to use it too much, as our production will be marked on our filming techniques and not our ability to retrieve archive from other sources.

Olympic site

As part of out filming process we are looking to film on the Olympic site where the new Olympic stadium is currently being built.

We have contacted the Olympic committee by e-mail in order to try and get permision to flim there. Once we get permision we will be hoping to film the site and possibly interview some of the construction workers there.
