Documentary cinema is becoming increasingly popular type of cinema.Technically, a documentary can remove anyone if it - witness the interesting events or phenomena, or even if it is just a sign of the general public with interesting people.
classics of cinema would cry with envy if they saw available today each of us great camcorder, digital editing tables, sound and light equipment.Even a simple iPhone gives an image of high-definition, it is suitable for your movie.
However, in numerous commercials, flooded, assume on YouTube, very rare to find processed, edited material.The reason, most likely, is simple - people do not know how to make a documentary.
key point of production of documentary films - the documentary script, drawing on which future work will be collected.
Stage scripting
get behind the scenario can be when the theme of the film is defined and taken synchronously - interviews with the film.Unique footage of the film may not be as much, and they did not give the film authenticity.That interview - rod documentary.
For a small film is sufficient three to six synchronously for 20 minutes each.
synchronously should "decode" - a word for word copy them to the film.Good point in brackets what emotion shows on the record man what he was doing gestures, and so on. N. This is the work routine and rather tedious, but it is necessary and it is fully justified by the fact that greatly facilitates the further stages of working on the film - writingscript and installation.
bad for extracting approximately once per minute - or just a few lines - to celebrate between phrases timecode - on a minute recording phrase sounds.It will then be guided to the source array.
From transcripts choose short "shock" pieces - the most emotional and infomativnye pieces.Their best move in a separate text document.
algorithm scripting
familiar form of the documentary involves alternation of synchronous and narration.Typically, the film begins to hook up with the so-called "Spiegel" or "teaser" - trailers, synopsis of the film.In Der Spiegel - "mirror" - should express the intrigue of the film, but in any case do not "sell" flavor, the culmination.
Spiegel can last from 20 seconds to a minute.After he put the titer - the name of the film.This is followed by the actual film.
approximate size of each synchronous - 25 seconds.Narration can last from 40 seconds to a minute.This ratio supports convenient for the viewer's perception of tempo-rhythm.
film is divided into three parts - exposition, climax, denouement.Well, when is the culmination of timekeeping at the end of the second third of the film.
addition synchronously to properly use "Life".This is not an interview and video with narration and a video intershumom.For example, fragments of musical performances or frames tavern quarrel - a Life.
Online scenario of "Media Guild" You can look it looks like the screenplay for the documentary genre and how it is more convenient to arrange.
installation script
When the script is ready, you can do "fish" of the film.All voice-over announcer is recorded, then the pieces "nachitki" placed on the time-line installation program, interspersed with synchronous, as it is written in the script.In other words, the sound is a continuous text: Speaker - simultaneously - Speaker - Synchronous etc.In the video at this stage - pieces of "black spot" alternate with synchronized text, when a person says in the frame.Several relevant "Life", filed after the relevant comments to them, too, will not be denied.
On the "fish" is superimposed music.You can create a suitable within the meaning of long pieces, reducing the volume by synchronously to 15% of the volume of narration and narration by raising it to 40%, often under Synchronous music track all gone to 0. However, short musical fragments, lasting no more than the current zakadrit, best of all.
last stage of installation - the overlap of the "black fields" pictures, ie, video.Can overlapping frames, which are a direct illustration of narration, it is possible - associative plans.For example, a close-up of the feet of passers-by - a universal video, which can block almost any text.It symbolizes anything, which is why "running feet" - a bad tone in the assembly, for which, in a good, professional need to "bring into the yard and shot."
Excessive use of effects is not necessary.There is a wise rule: "the best effect - direct bonding."
tricks on the question of how to make a documentary as much as documentarians, and these relate to the main trick - little things.For example, someone closes the film music of the last stage, carefully picking up pieces of music, while others believe that the need to mount the music, that is, roughly speaking, to make the change frame under the strong beat.That is one customize the music for video, while others - the music video.Eventually each developed their own methods.
One of the best programs for the installation of fans, functional and intuitive - Sony Vegas.
