Planning the Mock up Scene from a Documentary

Planning the Mock Up Scene

I have decided with Steven that we are going to recreate a scene from the Channel 4 documentary 'Educating Yorkshire'. We wanted to do this to test our self and so we can also see the sort of style that we can do and how close we can get to the actual clip.

We have made an film schedule so that we would know what we have to do and when we have to do it. This is what we have wrote down on our film schedule;

• We will film during our media lesson on Friday 6th November (10:45 - 12:25) but if we need to we will attend an after college session to get this work done.
• We may also stay behind after college so that we can edit the clip
• We have looked at three different teachers and their classes that we are trying to get for this project
• We takes the shots about 3 times so that we can decide what one would look better and we can put into our vision of the mini clip from 'Educating Yorkshire'
• We need to ask the permission from the teachers if they would allow us to film them and their class during a time that we can

These are the shots that I would want to recreate with Steven with the dialogue along the side to show what scene there will be dialogue in and what they will be saying. I will also show when the soundtrack starts and the stage directions as well.

Shot 4

"Today you've just been getting to know her, alright"

"By June you'll be taking her out to dinner"

(Teacher smiles and continues address the class)





From planning this Mock  up scene, I would be able to know what I would have to do when I make the actual documentary and this would make it a lot easier for me and Steven. From actually filming this and trying to copy a 12 second scene from 'Educating Yorkshire' we will learn the kind of style that we are aiming to put into our main practical task. Me and Steven will make a script for the teacher that will be doing it for us with the lines that they will have to say and the stage directions that they will have to do during the scene.
