Documentary Project - Reflection On My Own Practice

     For of our next semester we have been asked to make a short Documentary. I feel quite lucky as its a genre of film I have worked on in the past and felt it was necessary to publish my old work on my blog to show my understanding towards documentary film-making.

     I was sound recordist for a short documentary made about a man called Tony Kennedy from Blyth, Northumberland who was a kit man for Blyth Spartans football club for over 1000 games and from that he earned a well known cult status amongst the people of Blyth. To my surprise my friend and director of the documentary went on to win a the Chris Anderson award for Best Young Filmmaker at the Berwick Film Festival.

     I felt throughout my time working on the making of this short documentary I learnt some skills with approaching people with interviews and the look a documentary should have. I enjoyed recording sound and seeing it on film made me confident I could take on that role again.
