  Hello blog! Today I'm going to begin looking at some inspiration and researching documentaries that fall under the same genre that I wanted to further explore. These posts are a pretty important part of the brainstorming and developmental process when thinking about my project for various reasons. One of the reasons being is to evaluate the technical elements of the production and examine how common genre conventions is portrayed through stylistic choices made by the director. Without further ado, let begin!  (Kunhardt McGee Productions, 2014) The first documentary I decided to research was "Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr", released in 2012 on PBS ("Finding Your Roots," 2026)  . Documentary series highlights how various celebrities throughout the episodes are presented with a specific book that holds special paths and findings of their specified ancestry and familial lineage ("Finding Your Roots," 2026).

  Hi blog! welcome to this weeks blog posting for my portfolio project! last week i discussed possible ideas, plans and inspirations for what I want to create. Today I be analyzing and discussing what genre I choose and the research behind it. The remainder of the posts this week will be dedicated to researching different documentaries that are within the same genre.    Since this is the first time I'm doing a documentary, independently I needed to conduct research on specific genres that could work for a documentary. Some of the options I researched are Expository, Observational, Participatory , Reflexive mode, Poetic Mode and Performative Mode documentary  (Grand Canyon University, 2024, paras. 1-6). The actual documentary category would fall under Social and Cultural.   Additionally, the genre I decided to choose is a blend of Expository and Observational approach.

 Hello everyone!! I'm finally back doing my weekly blogger post. But this time, it for my A-level portfolio project!   There's a couple reasons why I wanted to join A-level media studies. The first reason being I overall enjoy learning about these newly introduced topics. Topics include postmodern techniques, script writing, viewing productions, writing essays and much more. The second reason I wanted to take this class again is to challenge myself. In my past media studies production, I was still very new to the " media studies world". This includes, editing, writing on higher level and professional filming.  Due to this, I was not very pleased with the overall outcome of my AS-level portfolio project. So I'm taking this opportunity to redeem myself and overall improve the quality of my work.   With that being said, let's dive into the A-level portfolio project. We have various of options of choose and for the most part, 100% creative freedom. The options ...
