Media Magazine Conference Trip

On Friday 13th December myself and my group went to a media magazine conference where different people spoke to us about what they do this included:
- A Brunel university researcher (Dr. Laura Harvey)
- The producer and director of the documentary 'Educating Yorkshire' (David Brindley)
- A Loughborough professor of Media&Communication (David Buckingham)
- Director of Strays (Robert Mckillop)
- Producer of In Our Name (Michelle Eastwood)

I found  David Brindley's talk the most interesting and helpful as he explained the possible problems with doing a documentaries in a busy setting like a public school where many things are occurring at one time. He explained how they had many cameras set up around the school but only 3 camera could record what is happening at one time.

David Brindley showing us a picture of the room where people from his team watched the
 live feed from the school and chose the most interesting scenes to show on TV

How Video Games Changed The World Documentary

Title screen for the Charlie Brooker's Documentary

While going through my 4oD app I found this documentary by Charlie Brooker about video games.This documentary will be useful to myself and my group as we can reinforce similar forms and conventions used, also we could use some of its contents to put into our script.
Here are a few screengrabs from the documentary:

In this documentary, Charlie Brooker focused on 10 games, each game was introduced with a voiceover that stated
the name of the game,  it's release year and maker (like above)

Throughout this documentary, various people were interviewed. These people were
interviewed in a natural indoor setting and a white caption was used to
state their name and role/job

Here is the advert for the documentary:
