Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The documentary unit was a unit where I felt I produced some of my proudest work. The basic idea of the documentary unit is truthfully portraying something in our community creatively through research. We create a unique perspective on why that subject is important in our community. We do this through an extensively researched profile essay in english which we turn into a magazine article in our Digital Media class. We also create an original documentary about a something in our community. A main focus of this unit is narrative-style journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I felt I improved in many ways throughout the documentary unit. I think the skill that I got better at the most was just going out and interviewing people. Reaching out to people I have never spoken to or spoken to very little for an interview, scheduling, setting up questions, setting up recording equipment and actually interviewing people is something I have never done before. It was a super unique experience. I also feel my film skills increased greatly after this experience. I also learned how to use adobe Indesign to create magazines and books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my English class I created a profile article about David Koppett. David Koppett is an Emmy winning sports broadcaster that has done work for many Major league sports teams and more notably the executive producer of the San Francisco Giants. For this project I did lots of research about sports broadcasting in general to understand the industry better. I also researched thoroughly the company’s and teams that he had worked for. I conducted an interview with Koppett as well to get as much information as I could. I liked what I was able to create from the information I got from Koppett. It was a super unique experience to be able to interview someone and learn so much about them. I felt I was able to accurately represent him and I am proud of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Film<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Mockumentary Film was created as a learning exercise for shooting real documentary’s. They were supposed to be funny and were created to practice the two camera setup. For our topic we chose “Why all of Freestyle hates Ben”. We gave our interviewees no script and just had them improvise. They came up with creative answers which was fun. I think it ended up being pretty funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
