Practical Production Evaluation
For my practical production I worked in a group of three and produced, a short documentary called ‘It’s a woman’s world’. It is an educational documentary depicting the life of a 16-year-old girl who is suffering from domestic violence. To correspond with the theme of documentary we felt it was vital to include the words ‘Woman’s world’ which will entice our target audience of young females and make them aware that a situation will be overcome has well has creating some enigma within the theme of domestic violence .
In the initial stages of planning, we decided not to allocate individual roles and responsibilities but instead share the contribution so we would have a variety of ideas. Our strengths in producing the documentary were at first filming the footage and capturing it. On the other hand the editing process became stressful for the whole group and has we struggled to make a narrative and struggled with the actual footage we had, due to not planning successfully it was evident that we needed to record some more footage which held us back from the editing process. After that, we decided to look at previous documentaries made by our peers and from that make a storyboard. All the same, within the group, we had similar roles and turns in who would edit on what day I assembled a storyboard in which we stuck by and researched and analyzing similar documentaries, which showed later on in the month. I also helped with the filming, logging sheets, looking after equipment, and editing.
After studying ‘The man with a movie camera’ in module 2 we used juxtapositions in the opening of our documentary which is a montage of troubling images of woman & children who have been abused by partners and fathers, showing patrichal ideology. We ironically played over this sequence ‘It’s a man’s world- James Brown’, causing enigma within the first few seconds of the opening, this also allowed us to grip the audience’s attention and showing the seriousness of the issue so early on in the documentary. Furthermore, we used continuous dip to white, and continuous cross-dissolves allowing people to get a ‘sigh of relief’ before seeing another image. After that we added a dj scratch to show and enforce out title that it is a ‘woman’s world’ by putting images of various girls & woman head to toe playing the non diegetic music over ‘Shania Twain- man I feel like a woman’, this also related to attracting out target audience. This was then enforcing feminine ideology into our production showing a minor dual narrative, as well has subverting the audience perceptions of the documentary.
We then added a blurred image of busy people & lifestyles with the voice over stated the definition of domestic violence and the facts. We then had the public opinion of domestic violence, which showed the harsh reality of it and toward the end one male stated with ignorance it is a patriarchal society. We specifically selected the vox pops to help create a sense of realism in which it shows everyone is aware of domestic violence. There are various shots throughout the documentary to communicate our intent and the types of ideas and values we are encouraging. There is an opening sequence to introduce the main protagonist (Amrit/Me) in which I am sitting alone on a bus top to show my innocence and me being an everyday teenager. There is then a scene in which I am talking to the camerawoman but am looking in the mirror to show me to be ignorant. I am asked where am I going, and I say to an over 18’s rave, this is then anchored by me holding a alcoholic drink bottle this could be showing that because I am acting maturely this may be the reason my relationship has also advanced.
We then have me running straight into a car with the use of continuity editing it is visible after the mirror scene that I went into the car, my young woman friend who is driving shows her zooming off this shows the young, ruthless side of teenagers.
Following studying ‘Bowling for columbine’ (2002), we realized the impact of having a phone in used. So we then mirrored the phone in and had a call from me talking to a domestic violence helpine.This was shown with a black screen and what I was saying was typed out, copying conventions of phone ins , which the sound can be distorted creating practicality. We then added a juxtaposition within this by adding wedding vows has a voice over and images of me has snap shots to contrast, we added this because this would make the secondary audience of men think about their action has during wedding vows they do not state they will abuse wives.
To conform to conventions of a documentary I did a scene, which involved a talking head this showed me being emotional. This reality of the documentary and allowed me to express my feelings and talk about how my boyfriend had abused because earlier I went to the ‘club’ in a car this helps to show the narrative, which will entice the young youthful audience. I then go according to Rabigers suggestion that a documentary should tell a good story I resolve the whole domestic violence issue by reporting it to the police we used continuity editing showing me just walking into the police station, with the help of the voice over stating I reported it to the police. However, this can be a weaknesses within the production because I should have actually spoken to a police officer, has this would help to mediate the documentary and overall be more appealing to watch.
Toward the ending we had black screen with facts of domestic violence with parallel music of ‘Alicia Keys-Woman’s worth’, and when the beat kicks in we have the ‘SPEAK UP’ in capital letters. This informs the audience to follow in what Is seen has the correct way my footsteps and report domestic violence, seeing has it shown the best thing to do.
II's a woman’s world’ will be shown on a channel 4 a commercial channel, as they target the audience that we would like to reach out to and show a variety of similar topics. In conclusion It’s a woman’s world serves it purpose to inform & educate the audience about a specific subject.

Evaluation
For my practical production, I worked in a group of three, where we produced a short documentary called It’s a Woman’s World. The investigative documentary gives a brief insight into the topical issue of domestic violence, we followed a 16 year old girl who had been affected by this issue. We chose name “It’s a Woman’s World” as we wanted to create a feminist approach, juxtaposing to the infamous phrase of “It’s a mans world” and also to the whole issue of domestic violence. “It’s a Womans World also shows that we have challenged the typical stereotype of women, creating enigma, therefore appealing to the target audience.
During the beginning of the production, we agreed not to allocate any specific roles and responsibilities, therefore each member will have equal opportunity in all the tasks. However we soon learnt that the there was not always an equal input from all group members, due to differences in when each member was free and willing to do editing. Yet, my input into the group was constant, and I used all available time to progress with the production, this being the planning, editing, and making key decisions about the structure of the documentary.
The opening of the documentary is a montage sequence using images of victims of domestic violence. In order to create more of a shock effect to the audience, we decided to use a white dissolve instead of the usual dip to black; this put more emphasis onto the images, as well as enhancing the professionalism of the documentary. The background music of “It’s a mans world” by James Brown is parallel to the images reinforcing the message of patriarchy. This conforms to Barthes theory of enigma codes, due to the disparity of the name of the documentary; It’s a Woman’s Worlds. There was then a scratch put in between, where the music changed to “Man I feel like a woman” and consisted of various clips of girls smiling and posing. This showed a dramatic contrast between the two diverse representations of women, coinciding with Strauss’s theory of binary oppositions. Immediately the audience is made aware of the issues dealt, and identifies the primary target audience of young women.
As all documentaries, It’s a Womans World was shaped and constructed to show a certain viewpoint, and reinforce our own messages. We used the convention of the “talking head” where someone talks directly to the camera, in our case, the main protagonist Amrit. By acknowledging, the presence of the camera when she turns it on conforms to the genre of the documentary being investigative. The talking head gives an impression of authenticity and presentation of facts, because we had not edited the scene, shows that we had used raw footage, creating a more realistic approach.
Furthermore, we paid attention to detail, by ensuring the mise en scene was a feminine colour representing a fun atmosphere, however contrasting this to the emotional scene of Amrit crying. We realised that Amrit’s talking head was a long scene, and would be appropriate to cut down to engage the audience through out the whole documentary, however we decided not to edit the scene to accentuate the authenticity. On the other hand, we then constructed the vox pops with the aim of creating a definition of domestic violence by selecting certain words and phrases, ensuring that the information was accurate, therefore educating the audience.
To engage the audience, we constructed a phone call, where Amrit had called a domestic violence helpline when being abused, she sounded very distraught and traumatised, giving the impression of actuality, and reinforcing the seriousness of the issue. The background was also kept black to ensure the audience focus on what is being said, creating an emotional tone. Similarly, to “Bowling for Columbine” studied in module 2, where Michael Moore shows raw footage of the shooting in the school from the fly on the wall cameras to enhance an emotional attachment to the documentary. The documentary is based on juxtapositions of various sequences, which created irony, for example the opening contrast of women, and the juxtaposition between the two ideologies of feminism and patriarchy. This is similar to “The Man with a Movie Camera” by Dziga Vertov. He used juxtaposition of different ideas and images together such birth and death in order to create more impact.
We employed Todorovs narrative theory by having Amrits story finally come to an end, where she decided to go to the police and report the crime. By doing this the documentary had progressed from the equilibrium of Amrit going out with her friends to the disequilibrium when Amrit had been abused, and then the new equilibrium, where Amrit decided to stand up for herself, which again reinforced the feminist view. This also conformed to Rabigers theory of telling a good story, which helps narrate and structure the documentary. The representation of Amrit was shown in a heroic light, which challenges Propps theory of character roles, as a make is usually the hero. However, we did employ this theory in one aspect, by including a hero and villain, this being the boyfriend who abuses Amrit. We finished the documentary with a number of statistics such as “one on four women are abused” which brings the documentary back the to the issue of domestic violence, with non diegetic, parallel music by Alicia Keys – “A Woman’s Worth” coinciding with the focus on women. Conversely, we could have included more factual information about domestic violence, which would educate the audience and raise more awareness of the issue.
It’s a Womans World will be broadcasted on Channel 4, which is a commercial institution, who often target a similar audience to ours. It fits into this category, as the main function is to inform, thereafter education and entertain. Furthermore, it would be appropriate to show the documentary after watershed, where most young girls will watch television.
In conclusion, It’s a Women’s World fulfils the purpose of entertaining and more importantly education the target audience. We aimed to communicate to the audience the consequences of domestic violence, and encourage women to stand up for themselves. The documentary followed a narrative structure and told a good story which is essential, as said by Rabiger. We explored the issues of domestic violence while still challenging the stereotypes of woman, creating a successful and unique documentary.

PrOvOkEd!
A TRUE story of a Punajbi woman Kiranjeet Ahluwalia who leaves India to marry a London-based guy, only to be badly abused when influenced by alcohol. She ends up in prison for murdering her abusive husband and burning him to death... This is a story of a lady who lives in Southall.. her attempt of burning her husband was not to death but just his feet so that he wouldn't be able to get up and beat her even more....She suffered for 10 years and kept quiet. Kiranjeet is one of many who is abused daily for "watching TV"..."drinking black tea" (as quoted in in the movie)..In provoked we see kiranjeet being raped, punched, thrown down the stairs when being pregnant any many other violent incidents which take place with her. Many of these were not shown due to the acts being too violent. When she was prisoned for life Southall's Black sisters helped her gain her freedom and and that's why it has been said " In prison she found her freedom!". We also witness how her mother-in-law did not protect kiran and admit to everyone how her son use to beat his wife.. even after knowing she was not guilty of her actions she accused her of being arrogant and did not allow Kiran to meet her two sons.

Check List:
Hmm lets just make a little list to see what's been done, and more importantly, what needs to be done:
1. Introduction- make sure all the pics are okay and they dont have anything written on them eg copywrite!
2. Try to sort out the Shania Twaine song so that it flows and you cant hear the jolt!
3. Vox pops - looks pretty good at the moment, but could try to speed up the pace to make it more catchy
4. Fit Amrits intro (bus stop) to the whole scene (her night out)
5. Do the diary entry intro for amrits scenes! - Each time we see amrit is a new day- so 4/5 diary entries
6. Help line phone call is wicked - just make sure all the subtitles are right - no spelling mistakes
7. Need to do the vows, either before or after the helpline phone call - we'll see where it looks best
8. Sort out the last scene of amrit going into the police - could make it black and white right at the end to show the doc has come to an end.
9. Voice over - needs to be done with rupal!
10. Credits - car scene again! :D

Oooh only 2 weeks to go! :D Well this week has been pretty good, finally got the white flash sorted out, and it looks pretty good...i think it creates a more shocking effect to the audience which is exactly what we need. The opening is nearly sorted as well just need to add the finishing touches! But as Mr Bush said we need to re do Amrits scene again, with a few extra propps, eg mascara! Also, this week we shud hopefully sort out whos doing the voice over, and what needs to be said so that we can get that done as soon as possible! Cant wait for tuesdays late night editing!!! :D shud be interesting!!

Progress Report
This week ‘luck’ has been on side. Seeing as we found out how to do the white flash finally! I added some music over the montage sequence, which pooja finished off and we all worked together in producing an opening sequence. This week has been calm, because more things have been added onto the time line which makes us calm knowing that we are not to far behind.WFeedback from Mr.Bush means that we will reshoot my talking heasd scen with a bit of mascara and a few tears to make it look authenitc.. Just 2 weeks to go now and we need all the time available so we shall be in the editing suite whenever we can! Thanks to the mentors. & Mr.Baboo for helping us … Amrit x
