13th February - Documentary Progress

I took the clips and pictures I had taken of the process of creating the sculpture and put them on the computer to continue the editing of the documentary with them. It was quite easy to edit together - I put them in order, added some music, and intend to do a narration over it.

I noticed in some documentaries that I had watched (for example James May's Toy Stories) the structure consisted of him starting with something interesting, then going back to talk about the raw material before actually starting the project. He would probably go to somewhere where it was produced or use some stock footage. I did look for stock footage of the production of clay, but I couldn't find any that I didn't have to pay for. So, I decided to talk about just the history of sculpture, which fitted in with the research I'd previously done. I gathered pictures from each era, put them in a slideshow, and plan to narrate over these.
