Today in class we discussed documentaries and the different film techniques used by directors in order to convey a message in a certain light to the audience and to manipulate viewers to believe all aspects of the film. Some techniques used amongst most documentaries that differ to other film styles include:
- Interviews
- Statistics
- Voice over explaining the topic
- Archived information, e.g. photos, newspaper articles, etc.
- Reenactments
- Footage of actual events
Our assignment this term is about social media and the negative/positive impact that it has on the population, so here are some ideas that I have on Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat regarding if I think they're good or bad and why.
1. Instagram - Good
1. It allows users to post photos and videos, which means that it's easy for friends, family and followers to see what you're up to and where you have been travelling to
2. There is an option for private messaging which allows people to connect with others on Instagram
3. It gives businesses a platform to promote and share their products with many people all at once
2. Facebook - Good
1. Sharing posts gives people the ability to find people with common interests and potentially make new friends
2. Private messaging allows users to connect with others
3. It reminds you of events and birthdays, etc. coming up which is a useful tool in social outings
3. Snapchat - Good
1. Private messaging allows users to have conversations with others
2. Snapchat stories allows users to share with others where they are travelling, etc. and what they are doing
3. Snapchat only allows photos taken on the snapchat camera to be sent, rather than photos from the camera roll. This is good because it means that there can be no photoshopping, etc. and all images are realistic and unedited.
