DOCUMENTARY

LOGLINE: A compelling documentary that unravels the complex interplay between cancel culture, the pursuit of healthy discourse, and the imminent decay of free speech in our society.

For this documentary I had more than 1 role to complete by the end of year in terms of our module ‘Visual Storytelling and Direction for Screen’. As well as taking on the position of sound engineer I also agreed to be the main editor for this project as well.

The sound aspect for this documentary was straight forward when it came to the interviews. The post sound was edited on Adobe Audition. There were a few attempts I had to export to match the perfect quality and quantity desired from the very start, but overall this role was manageable in terms of a graded assignment.

Editing this documentary on the other hand was a lot more challenging than anticipated. Originally we agreed that we would all edit the film together, but as the director was away after production and the producer working on another project, the majority of post was all depending on how well my attempt of editing this documentary was in the process.

The graphics were mainly created by the director as he already had experience in bringing effects similar to ours on a well constructed project. We also got confirmation from the BBC to use their audio as part of a segment of Andrew Tate.

I personally thought this documentary was a challenge in itself as there were only 3 group members (myself included) throughout the production stages. But in regards to my 2 roles, I think this film really brought out the experimental side in all of us and with relation to the premise of this documentary, gave us the confidence to identify our reasons to be heard and not discriminating or “cancelling” anyone in the process.
