The expository documentary went well, this is because we done everything that we planned, each of us had a role for example i was director , Neset was cameraman and the documentary all based on Zehra as well as she got the facts about her condition along with her making the script for the voice over. Also we all came up with the questions together , practical work went well because we all worked as a team making sure we will ask each other opinions on ideas we had as well as making sure we help each other out, this helped us finish our documentary on time. We could of made the documentary much better , I was in control of editing and I believe done quite well for my first time but I could of improved it by cutting down some of the shots because it was too long and the audience would lose interest easily and I made a spelling mistake of the condition within the documentary, this would affect the audience because for them it will look unprofessional along with if I added background music while she was being interviewed it would've set the mood for the audience making them feel curious about her condition, what else went well was the facts and statistics we used for example:"Disabled people are around 3 times as likely not to hold any qualifications compared to non- disabled people".

Futhermore We used that fact as a voice over when we showed Zehra moving around, that was successful because the voice over was clear and the audience will be able to learn more about her condition and disabled people in general. Furthermore I asked her questions such: "Do you think the school is designed to make it easy for people with disabilities to go around" along with "Do you experience any bullying because of your condition", the reason i asked these type of questions so that audience can see how she feels and connect with her. The Lighting went well specially when I interviewed Zehra, the lense flare made interview look professional as well as making it have a soft and relaxation feeling that set the mood for the audience and in the beginning of our documentary we used sound track named sold out dates by Lil bay & Gunna,we choice this soundtrack to make the audience feel excited as well as filled with energy along with the camera movement moving bizarre this creates affect as if it is music video, Zehra was moving around in her wheelchair showing it off , this was successful because the audience was able to see Zehra happy and be joyful in her condition, the audience would feel empathy. Finally what I would take from this documentary for my final documentary? I would take the effective Camera angles and lighting.

Participatory Documentary

The participatory documentary went well because I came up with 8 questions for Nae and she answered all of them professionally, and she introduce herself as planned, camera shot was a medium shot of me and her and it was clear, however the camera shots I done wasn't documentary type shots , what would of made my interview much better if i used the behind the shoulder shot, if I was to add a technique, I would add shot reverse shot. I believe this is effective for the audience and it would suit interviews. I another thing I should of done was use a shotgun microphone, a shotgun microphone is a highly directional microphone that must be pointed directly at its target sound source for proper recording. This would help the audience hear Nae voice while she is talking during the interview.

Observational Documentary the filmmaker follows the person around to observe the events that happen in their life , equipment can be informal, such as the use of hand-held cameras , usually no interviews are include and there is no voice over along with long takes are used.

This show classes as a observational documentary because it follows the Artist named Gani around while he is showing off his art on the street ,the camera focuses on all of the paintings and people looking at the art outside.

Editing the speeding up of clips helps to show the less interesting parts of his surroundings and emphasises the good parts of the art work .

Sound: Music makes it more interesting to watch and the audience will be able to tell that music represents his culture.
