Create General:

First I had the idea of creating a documentary on the basis of the different teaching styles that were present of stonehill. Then I wanted to compare those different teaching styles to the 4 basic teaching category’s. I first created my mind map, to display my different conventions and documentary style. Over time I did my research, and when I was ready I started to create my documentary. I went to a number of classrooms and got some primary footage(and evidence) of the different teaching styles. Then when I was finally working out all the bugs from my filing styles, I was told we were not allowed to film on campus anymore. This of course led to me having to change my documentary entirely. Which meant i had to do more research and redo my entire design. From then on I simply used archival footage and voice over to create my documentary. My documentry is now lacking originol content, but is much more proffesional and informative. For future classes i would recommend allowing them to be able to film on campus. I followed my plan (perhaps not to the letter) but the plan allowed em to keep the big picture in mind.

To physically make my documentary, i used Windows Movie Maker, this program is both helpful and simple. It allow me to use a simple series of video clips to turn them into a documentary. To put in the audio i recorded and edited my sound bites with audacity, and then i simply put the audio files into W MM and aligned it with the video. Had we had the opportunity to film on campus, and perhaps a better movie making software, the documentary could become much more professional and flowing.
