THUMBNAIL

Self Reflection: 

I'm actually very happy with how this turned out. I'm grateful to have had such a diligent team of people who worked together with me to help get this long and laborious project done. I'm proud of everything they've been able to do throughout this past 8 weeks. I found that it was easy to watch and easy to upload. 

Critical Reflection

Here is the critical reflection of my project.

Politicians and political activists were at the centre of the narrative in this project, focusing on the failed assassination attempt of a political leader (in this case, Campbell Newman, the leader of the National Patty). Politicians are normally seen in documentaries as figures of authority and power. But they were represented as victims, by using formal settings, and speeches, to frame them as respected and serious individuals. this is in line with the preferred reading of the documentary, which encourages the audience to view these politicians as good people, harmed by an act of hate.

The documentary's technical elements such as the usage of lighting, camera angles, and editing were important in conveying this representation. Wide and establishing shots provided context, showing the politician in formal surroundings that symbolises authoritys. Moreover, the mise-en-scene, such as the the formal attire of the politicians, reinforces their social status and the weight of the issue. In contrast, the suspect of the assassination was portrayed negatively, with the framing and editing outlining their actions. This thing supports the narrative of the documentary, which aimed to present the politicians as people who are in need of help.

An important aspect of the documentary was its use of stereotypes to portray a broader social messages. In this project, politicians were portrayed in a conventional light as serious and authoritative, while the assassin was covered in mystery. These stereotypes serve to enhance the narrative, making sure that that the audience can quickly identify the good and bad characters. Hall's theory on representation says that media representations mostly rely on fixed stereotypes to communicate complex ideas efficiently and that by using these familiar features, our project reinforced the dominant social ideologies about power, authority, and deviance. 

Branding is a important component of media production, and it plays a significant role in crime documentaries by providing the final product with an identity like no other. As seen in the project, the crime documentary's branding was closely tied to its visual appearance. The thumbnail, which featured the politician in a formal setting with a mysterious statue in the background, showed the tension between authority and danger. This small yet effective imagery provided potential viewers with a sense of intrigue, drawing them into the plot of the assassination attempt.

Dyer’s branding also shapes how audiences decode meaning. The abstract and detached quality of the imagery in the thumbnail, invites viewers to go deeper into the complexities of the political narrative. This is supported by Altman’s genre theory, which suggests that successful media products must conform to already existing genre conventions while also offering unique elements that differentiate them from other content. In my project, this was achieved by including familiar crime documentary features, such as interviews and live footage, while at the same time focusing on a lesser-known political figure rather than a high-profile one like John Howard.

The audience’s interest and interactiveness with the documentary is another important aspect of crime documentary production, as highlighted by the uses and gratifications theory, it suggests that audiences always seek out media content to satisfy specific needs, such as entertainment, information, and social interaction. My crime documentary fulfilled these criteria by offering not only a gripping narrative about a political assassination attempt but also opportunities for viewers to reflect on the broader hidden meanings of political violence. For example, my documentary engaged the audience through a mix of suspenseful sound design and thought provoking interviews with politicians, who gave their recollection and opinions on the event.

Sound played a role in enhancing the emotional impact of the documentary. One of the scenes leading up to the assassination attempt used heartbeats and tense music to build suspense. As seen  in the research, sound is a yet powerful tool in production and is capable of guiding the viewer’s emotions and the visual narrative. This use of non-diegetic sound to build tension is a normal technique in crime documentaries and is in line with the conventions of the genre. By increasing the intensity of the music as the assassination attempt unfolded, the documentary increased the audience’s emotional attention in the story.

I realise that a better understanding of the genre conventions would have enhanced the project's overall quality. While the documentary did conformed to many of the core elements of a crime documentary, there were moments where a more better approach to sound and editing could have increased the narrative. For example, using more camera angles or more interesting soundscapes could have added layers of complexity to the portrayal of the political figures.

Thumbnail Research and Development

 Here is the research and development conducted to complete this project - completed by Giorgio and Jaden

I googled "crime documentaries" and these were the thumbnails that came up. I immediately noticed a convention of crime documentaries which are close up shots of either the faces of the criminals or the victims who survived. A second convention I noticed was the blocking of eyes or mouths. These crime documentary thumbnails mostly follow familiar conventions with dark tones, dramatic close-ups, and bold typography, signaling mystery or danger. Faces like those in Girl in the Picture and Amanda Knox draw viewers in by making the stories feel personal, whereas titles like The Tinder Swindler and Don’t F**k with Cats hint at unique, modern crimes that have unexpected twists. Others, like Don’t F**k with Cats, subvert conventions by using intriguing imagery, such as a cat, to draw curiosity. The suspenseful visuals hook audiences, suggesting there’s more to uncover. 

Here are a few thumbnail sketches that Giorgio drew based off these thumbnails and the short little analysis we made of them. We want our audience to feel like they are clicking on something that has sparked their curiosity for political crime.

All of these rough drafts are to include a dark theme to them, to draw the attention to the criminal and his plot. We decided to stick with genre conventions and keep things original and in line with what's already on offer. That way, we can work on how we can make ours sort of stand out while also keeping to the conventions. 

This is a template from the video editing software that Giorgio used. It included a greenscreen to it which allowed him to edit it to put Carrick in there. 

Here it is post greenscreen with Carrick in it.

Here it is on Netflix with Jaden's description.

Here it is again but with feedback from Carrick about the decription.

Self Reflection:

I was able to help a bit with giving some feedback and helping to write a bit of the Netflix description. I found that I was able to really have a significant input through this part of the project. I found it difficult to try and keep up with their pace on this part but I am grateful that I was able to weigh in and help the best way I could. 

Editing

Here is the development of the editing stage - completed by Giorgio

 

For the editing, I used two editing software programs CapCut and Filmora Wondershare. I chose them because they are designed to be accessible and suitable for a basic video editor. I was able to perform basic editing functions such as cutting, trimming, cropping, adding text, adding cool filters and effects, and making basic color adjustments.

I have been using CapCut for a year or so, and Filmora for about 3 years. So, I am pretty much the experienced video editor in my group, which is why I am tasked as an editor; I have full responsibility for the editing process. 

Initially, I transferred the recording from the cameras I used using a USB cable. Carrick has his own camera that he used for the interview shoots, he uploaded his recordings to Google Drive, which I had access to and it made it easier for me to download. Following this, I uploaded all video recordings and photos into the editing software, CapCut, which is the primary software I will be using. 

This image shows the complete timeline of the documentary, starting from the intro to the outro. This process took approximately half a day (12 hours), and I had to skip a day from school to really lock in and finish the editing.

MAJOR EDITING CHOICES AND METHODS

Color Grading

Firstly, I decided to choose different color grading throughout the documentary to ensue different emotions in certain parts of the documentary. There are 3 main moods I'm trying to produce: warm (hopeful Tones, create connection, and highlight composure), black and white, or extreme desaturation (for a dramatic and contemplative effect), neutral with subtle cool tones (slight hints of blue to introduce an undercurrent of anticipation or to show leadership).

Here are the tools I utilize to create the intended atmosphere:

Filters, Color Adjustments, Lightness Adjustments, Luma curves, and HSL.

I mainly use the combination of filters first and then adjust color and lightness afterward. 

Cuts

I decided to use J-cuts and L-cuts, they are generally used as transitions between footage within scenes instead of traditional transition effects like a fade or cross dissolve because they help the viewer keep visual continuity. I like using it because it gives people a buffer, like a cushion to get to the next place, and not make it feel awkward. 

L-Cut

The audio from the previous scene continues to the next scene.

J-Cut

The audio from the next scene comes into the current scene before the visuals. 

Title screen

I had a dilemma on what the title screen should look like, I couldn't find a good one in CapCut (everything they have looked basic), I tried tweaking it but it didn't like it. I was trying to do something like Netflix, a cinematic-looking title screen with appealing visual effects. So, I went to alternative editing software that I had experienced, which was Filmora Wondershare, and I remember it had good effects and cinematic templates I could use.

Chroma Key (Title Screen)

By using a chroma key which acts somewhat like a green screen I added the icing to the cake, this makes the perfect visual effect for the outro of the documentary. It looks somewhat cinematic and looked professionally made. 

Animation/Effects

I decided to use special effects to create appealing visualizations to better the entertainment and production quality of the documentary. Furthermore, I added animations for the text used, I did this by using the existing animation template provided by CapCut.

Voice Changer/Audio Effects

I used a feature in CapCut that allows you to modify the audio using a voice changer tool. This allows me to create unique effects and moods in the audio, which helps accentuate the mood or atmosphere I was going for in certain sections of the documentary.

Self Reflection:

I was able to contribute here by providing post-production feedback to Giorgio regarding different scenes as well as critisism of some of the editing techniques used in the first draft which was eight minutes long. I found that a lot of the different techniques are far too complicated for just me to do so I'm really glad that Giorgio was able to do this on his own and ask us for feedback later on. I found that this was the most efficient way of conducting this part of the project.

Behind the Scenes

Here are the behind the scenes of creating our documentary project - completed by Jaden

PRE-FILMING

Before shooting, Giorgio and Carrick discussed the different mise-en-scene and clothing to wear for each shoot. They both agreed it'd be a good idea to keep it formal by having the main actor (Carrick) wear a suit and tie as they were trying to create a scene with politicians.

 

My role was to get permission from my dad to use the church building for different shooting. He said we could only meet there for a total of three days, so we made the most out of what we did.

DAY 1 - 17th AUGUST 2024

On this day, we arrived at Hillsong church at about 9:00 where we planned to just practice different camera angles and film some rough drafts as practice.  We also discussed different ways the assassin could enter the stage and attack Carrick. As Carrick had to go to another meeting elsewhere, he left at 11:00, just 20 minutes after Giorgio arrived (Giorgio was very late).

Carrick brought his suit and tie as part of the practice shooting, just to see what it would be like on camera. I used my iPhone to shoot the practice shots. 

When Giorgio showed up, we started to discuss more in detail about how we could utilise different equipment that we already had at the church. My dad said we couldn't use any of it which was a bit disappoint, but we were able to get stuff done either way.

DAY 2 - 25th August 2024

Carrick went alone to film one of three interviews with his friend from Australia who was visiting as part of an impact team to help his church. His friend was to act as a member of the radical conservative wing of the National Party. One thing he said with regard to carrying out this task is that he wasn't able to get better insight and feedback from any of us which made it a bit difficult for him. This was also the only opportunity he had to interview this guy before he went back to Australia.

Carrick had also forgotten to bring his tripod which really made things a whole lot harder for him, but luckily there was a desk tall enough. This meant he couldn't get any other angle other than a static eye level angle which was really annoying.

Carrick was able to complete this interview in just 20 minutes as Jerry is used to these type of interviews. Since I couldn't come, another one of Carrick's friends from Australia took the behind the scenes shots.

DAY 3 - 29th August 2024

Carrick and I went to Pastor Brian's house to film the second interview. Pastor Brian was to act as a moderate member of the National Party, giving an opinion and recollection of events in a way that does not sound like a conspiracy theory. 

My role was to help with the behind the scenes shots and give feedback to Carrick. This time we actually brought a tripod with us and that allowed us to capture different angles. Pastor Brian was also happy for us to take as long as we needed to ensure that we can maximise our use of him and his house. His house made for a great place to film as his house was absolutely stunning. However, due to the issue of lighting, we weren't able to take advantage of the outdoor areas so we were isolated to having to use one corner of the house in his lounge room.

I gave feedback to Carrick, suggesting that he should try to use lower angles when delivering lines that sound a bit sinister or are hitting back at their opposition in the plot of the story.

Brian being a pastor helped us a lot as he's very good at reading a script and being on point with the acting and voice articulation. He didn't have to be camera trained at all, which meant we only needed about 40 minutes of his time and it would've been over. 

DAY 4 - 31st AUGUST 2024

Carrick again went and filmed the last of the three interviews at his house. He was to be filming Ed, who would act as one of the security team leaders at the convention and talk about the security aspects of the situation as well as how the assassin entered the building without being detected. Ed was also able to give some feedback on the script as well which was very constructive and helped us a lot to make it sound and flow a lot better.

Carrick's pastor said he couldn't borrow the lapel microphones for this scene as it involved taking them up to Gianyar and he was afraid they'd get lost or stolen so Carrick had to use a microphone he had at home which didn't affect the sound quality that much. Since I was not able to be there, Carrick's mum helped take a few pictures behind the scenes.

All in all, this only took Carrick about 20 minutes as well. Ed was a former cop and senior prison officer in Queensland, so he's done quite a bit of on film script reading as well as interviews for the media. This helped us greatly in our project as we didn't need to camera train him. The uniform Ed is wearing is actually his old police uniform without the police patches.

DAY 5 - 2nd September 2024

This day was our final shooting day at my church (Hillsong). This is where we planned to film the incident as it takes place and another interview with Carrick. All of us needed to be there for the shoot as we all had a very important role to play. I was assisting Giorgio with the camera operation as well as acting as a security guard who jumps to assassin, Carrick was the assistant director and main actor who would be the assassin's target, Giorgio would be directing and operating the camera, and Kaka would be acting as the assassin.

This was the most stressful and daunting task to film as we were all pretty exhausted from other school work and having to come all the way to my church from home as well as having to go all the way home from my church (which is in Kuta. We all live miles north from there). We brought everything we needed, cameras, microphones, tripods, costumes, and scripts. However, the one thing we did forget were security uniforms which Carrick was in charge of. Thankfully, Giorgio and I were still wearing our school uniform which almost perfect as we were wearing basically the same thing. This allowed us to still be security team members, just not the way we originally planned.

Giorgio took this photo, I was helping set Carrick's microphone up as well as move furniture around to give us as much space as possible for the shooting. Kaka was setting up the camera to get the right light settings for the room.

Self Reflection:

My role in the behind the scenes was to capture a whole load of footage while also helping to direct and act in other scenes. It was very time consuming, and I was able to help by giving feedback to Jaden while he made this blog by telling him how to format it and showing him the blogs of other successful people doing media studies in our school. It helped me also to develop a better understanding of how this blog is supposed to look and how to keep track of our progress through behind the scenes stuff. I found that it was easy enough to comprehend.

Title Research and Development

Here is the research and development of possible titles for our project - completed by Giorgio, Carrick, and Jaden

Research

Here is a list of the episodes produced by Four Corners with regard to politics and crime. All of them have a catchy short title that either rhyme or are easy to remember. Their target audience is very similar to ours so that is why we picked Four Corners to base our research off of.

Development

Genre: Crime

Sub-genre: Political Crime

Name Suggestions:

• The Plot
• The Assassin
• Newman's Escape
• Kill Newman
• Bumping Off the New Man
• Attempted Disposal
• Neutralise Newman
• The Newman Plot
• Sitting Duck: The Attempt on Newman
• Newman's Plot
• A National Tragedy: Newman's Edge
• Plotting to Win: Labor's Attempt on Newman
• Goss' Gamble

After having consulted with our teacher and sought valuable feedback from him, we learnt about cultural code. In this context, the cultural code is that people already know who Newman is as he's a leading political figure. Therefore, we don't need to explain Newman's background as our target audience will already know who he is. Titles like "The Plot" and "The Assassin" were too general according to our teacher and others like "Kill Newman" he just straight up said no to. After the discussion, we were able to bring down the choices to just a few:

• Attempted Disposal
• Neutralise Newman
• The Newman Plot
• Newman's Plot
• Sitting Duck: The Attempt on Newman

From these titles, we discussed how each one of the titles would work. We looked over them one by one and what the plot of the documentary would be if we used each title. Each title has its own uniqueness about it and cannot fit in all circumstances. We discussed how it would either be "The Newman Plot" or "Newman's Plot". The plot around "The Newman Plot" would be about how a crazy lunatic came to want to plot an assassination attempt against Newman whereas "Newman's Plot" would be about Newman staging the even to make it as if he was looking for sympathy points.

We ultimately decided on the more fun option of "Newman's Plot" as it would fit in perfectly with the cultural code and would definitely stand out to an audience of people who would want to click on it as it's a nationally recognised name and a dark scandal that lies beneath the surface. 

Self Reflection:

I found this part of the project to be very fun because we were free to think and apply our creativity with little to no limits at all. I found out that we could possibly create a whole documentary if we wanted to. I also found that we had no problems following my teacher's instructions on this as we had prior understanding of this thanks to hours of watching documentaries. I did not find many difficult elements to this specific part of the project. I found that the feedback my teacher gave us was very helpful in determining the best name for this project.

Self Reflection: 

I found that this really helped me to get organised and have a set plan for filming. My friends also agreed to this schedule which was very helpful in getting this project done in a timely and efficient manner. The sooner we get simple tasks like this, the more time we'll have to complete the bigger tasks of filming, editing, and discussing. Something I found difficult is trying to format the spreadsheet to be neat and easy to read. I'm used to Ms. Excel but for some reason I decided to use Google Spreadsheets to complete this task. I utilised the search feature to find the things I'm used to just seeing and using in Excel.

Self Reflection: 

Given that I live pretty far away, I found that travelling between the locations very annoying and time consuming. Most of them are far away and it consumes a lot of my motorbike's petrol. However, I found it fun having to assess and secure the locations as that's what I find very interesting. Discussing these locations with my friends was also very easy as we all just kind of agreed with the places as we thought they were all very good and suitable. What I found difficult was just trying to get to each individual location and meet up with my friends. Some of them were late which was a bit annoying as I had a bit of a tight time schedule. All in all, I think these locations will serve their individual purpose with ease.
