'For the Record' - A Documentary on the Resurgence of Vinyl Records


This documentary focuses on why people collect records, the history of collecting and vinyl in the modern age. Something I will take from this documentary is the concept of why people do and don't collect records, as I think it's good to see it from different peoples point of view - as after asking my friends if they do / don't collect and why, I got a variation of different answers. The documentary has been constructed in a way that it consists mainly of interviews with either record store owners, collectors, etc. This is something I may take into my own documentary, as I think having an interview with someone who is also interested in the topic is more engaging. Furthermore, many close up shots of records being played were used, as well as record covers. This is definitely something I will use as that way I am able to show a variation of different artists which may appeal to a wider audience. 

The Tables Are Turning - Vinyl Revival Documentary


Again, this documentary focuses on the joy of collecting vinyl records and why people do it. Something they included was statistics on record sales which I will include in my documentary as I think it's important to show the increase in sales and how people within my age range ( the target audience ) are continuing this trend which hopefully won't ever die out. As well as the first documentary, close ups of records were used to display different artists which I think is good as it lets the person being interviewed showcase their favourite vinyl and perhaps helps promote the artist.

Introduction to Moving Image

Film - The Perks of Being A Wallflower The lighting within this scene makes Sam's character look more of a  silhouette, since we aren't able to see her clearly. The scene included the characters listening to David Bowie's Heroes - hence why Sam is letting the wind hit her, as the song makes her feel free. I think by the lighting being low key and us only being able to see a silhouette, lets the audience identify with the character and how she feels in the moment. The lighting is natural, produced by the streetlights, car lights and the lights upon the bridge to reflect the time of day. While the scene is quite dark, which normally would connotate something negative - the scene is actually very positive, as it reflects the mood of the characters just living in the moment.  Film - Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back The lighting in this scene hides both of the  characters  identities - but since Darth Vader is an iconic character within film, we are e...

 I asked people within my age range if they do or don't collect records and why -  People who do -  'I do mainly because my parents have a big collection from the 70s and 80s so they gave most of theirs to me and I got additional ones myself, but also because I love having music on a variety of different formats, and certain songs on vinyl just sound better'. 'I do because I find them nostalgic in a sense, and almost helps me disconnect from reality'  'I do since my dad got me into them, and I just like having a physical copy of my favourite albums'.  'I collect them because I like to have a physical copy of an album, plus getting posters and little extras with them make it even better'.  'I like to have a physical copy of music and something you can hold or display instead of jut a download on your phone'.  People who don't -  'I want to but I don't have the money' 'I don't since I don't have the room to store a r...

Smile Campaign - project diary

 January 11th 2021 Since the idea for my TV advert changed due to Coronavirus measures, I plan to try and film my new idea this week. As well as this, I'm planning on creating a print advert, which I still need to plan some more of. January 18th 2021 After creating footage for my new TV advert, I've decided I will just create the print advert as it didn't turn out the way I wanted and also wasn't as good as my original idea. I will spend this week making sure I have everything up to date on my blogger and will begin creating my poster.  January 25th 2021 After planning what information would go on my poster, I began to create it. After trying out different software and some not working on my laptop, I began to create my poster in Microsoft Publisher. Hopefully by the end of the week my poster will be complete and I can begin evaluating.  February 1st 2021 I fell slightly behind so this week I am still completing my poster but hope to be done soon. I have included most o...
