( In Vogue: The 90s , 2024) The next documentary I research is called "In Vouge ", released in 2024 on Hulu and Disney Plus   ( In Vogue: The 90s , 2024) . This documentary further explores the deep-rooted history of the well-known fashion industry throughout the 1990's    ( In Vogue: The 90s , 2024) . But specifically, puts it through the perspective of 5 incredible Vogue editors    ( In Vogue: The 90s , 2024) .. Throughout each episode, you get a different perspective of these icons and what rally went behind the screens while becoming the worlds top fashion magazine during this time. This is shown through the duration of 6 episodes    ( In Vogue: The 90s , 2024) . On a technical note, I really enjoyed the variety of shots and angles that was used to capture different angles of each subject   (Hulu, 2024)  . As well as the ...

  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). These celebrities explore fami...

  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. The reason why I choose to unify these two selections is mainly to create a complex balance bet...

 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 ...

    The main goal of our documentary “Line age” is to show how intergenerational  activities  can be beneficial to the community and how people of all ages work  together  to create some thing sentimental and special.  Despite difficulties along the way,  I believe we  did  a  nice job   of trying to convey this message through many technical elements and common conventions of a documentary.      Our  research before the production process was a crucial element to this project. Collecting inspiration from documentaries we watched in class or simply browsing social media helped us direct focus   on what we wanted to do and how we want to convey it. Our research gave us a good foundation to build  off  and start the process of  coming  up with new creative ideas.       W hen it comes to the inspiration behind this  documentary, there  was not one specific docum...
