TASK1 - FINAL

Reggie Yates – hidden Australia.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p04nc0s5/reggie-yates-hidden-australia-1-black-in-the-outback

This documentary is about Reggie Yates who visits an Aboriginal community suffering from addiction and generations of institutionalised racism. His plan is to go to a city in Australia called Wilcannia, to find out the cause of why it is so isolated, lifeless and why it doesn’t attract tourism. Reggie spends a couple days in Wilcannia to talking to those who live there and find out what life is like there and why they have such a bad name with tourists.      

Accuracy:

In this documentary, Reggie went there with no accurate information but only on what he has heard on passing. So with this, he took the risk of going to Wilcannia, Australia to share only true facts with the public and report it correctly without making the rumours about them to be true. For Reggie to provide all the facts he’s going to have to get specific details from those he speaks to in this documentary to show people that this isn’t scripted or put on for show, and by doing that, Reggie normally tells his audience who he’s about to meet but in this case he doesn’t, he goes in blind and just walks up to random people on the street, greets them and finds out their story on what they do in this isolated area and what happened to it. For example, Reggie pulls up on family, the first family he comes across really, and just asks them a few questions and he speaks to one male in particular, Lendal King who tells him about how he’s drinking early in the morning because there’s nothing to do. Reggie then meets some young girls at a bus stop and asks them a few questions on why they think their parents drinks and if there is anything to do in the town. This is important for Reggie as well as the audience because both him and the audience are not given false information.

Balance:

Balance is finding out information from both side of the parties to those who are watching rather than favouring one side of the story to make the audience feel one particular way. For this documentary that Reggie is doing, it’s hard to sort of suss out if you’re really getting both sides of the story because Reggie goes around talking to people and to find out their side of the story but when he meets a radio dj (DJ Smacka), he tells Reggie what happened and why the town is actually the way it is. “The last time we had a camera come in was when, I think it was a bloke from 60 Minutes. He left and done a very horrible story. Then he came back to apologise and said that he’ll make it good, and the second story he did just made it worser.” For the viewers this might be hard for them to make up their mind because they’re not hearing it from the person who made the story but from those who have suffered the impact from it.

Impartiality and objectivity:

Impartiality is weighing views or opinions up fairly, without letting your personal view get in the way of how you see things. Objectivity is judging something without allowing your personal feelings to get involved. For Reggie, no matter what he is documenting, he never lets his view block his way of seeing things, meaning he may not like how they live or how the guy portrayed them. “I’m a little shell-shocked. I mean, as someone who hates the idea of stereotyping and gets incredibly frustrated whenever I feel that someone is, you know, being massively presumptuous about me based on their own prejudice. I’m a little disappointed that in the first hour of me being here, I’ve just walked into a living, breathing stereotype for these people.” From this you can clearly see what Reggie is feeling but that doesn’t stop him from finding out more and blocking his view of seeing things. Normally it’s important for those who are involved to not give out their personal view. But in this situation it’s different story because the party that is involved has to speak their opinion as they are the ones that are affected, and for them it’s just a hope that people do change their attitudes towards those who live in Wilcannia.

Subjectivity:

Subjectivity is judgement based on personal feelings and opinions rather than external facts. The citizens of Wilcannia, are honest about alcohol playing a big part of where they live and their lives. However Reggie has shown us, the audience more information and why they really do what they do, and shows how there really isn’t anything to do apart from drink for those who live there. From this we can see that the people who live there are the ones who are really affected and are hurt due to one person irrelevant opinion and this has made them guard themselves and had a hatred for those who are going to find out what happened like Reggie did and really hate those who are like Reggie.

Opinion:

An opinion is a personal view, a belief that doesn’t have enough evidence to be classed as a fact. Most opinions are formed from something that has happened. Within all documentaries that Reggie does, he has his opinions and views but they don’t count as facts, but he helps others make their own opinion on the documentary due to how they live and the issues in it. Some viewers may have mixed opinions because how they are living is from someone’s opinion based on where they live and how they live which left them in a terrible situation that made them result into drinking alcohol every minute of the day. Therefore from seeing and hearing this it’s given the audience mixed thoughts about it all.

Bias:

Bias is unfairly siding with one certain side of an argument without evidence to back it up. Reggie doesn’t take sides and he definitely isn’t biased. He balances his opinions and hears what both sides of the argument. This can be seen when he first gets there, he only knows one side of the story so he goes and finds out the other side. He doesn’t think it’s fair on how these people are now living because of something someone said and then made it worse by trying to put it right.

Representation:

Representation is how something is portrayed or stereotyped within the media. Many things in the media get taken the wrong way or interpret it in the wrong way by how they’ve been represented. In this case or situation, the damage has been done by someone else so by Reggie going there was only two things that could have happened, make it better or worse than what it already is. Reggie hasn’t portrayed it in a bad way, or said anything to make it look bad, he leaves that to the public to decide for themselves.

Access:

Access is being allowed permission to film but before you can do that you have to make sure you are given permission by those who you are meant to be interviewing so that there are no complications. For Reggie, it was a different story, he may have got permission to come in the country and film but because he wasn’t interviewing anyone in particular, he interviewed those who he just came across, yet he still had to ask if he could ask them a few questions.

Privacy:   

Privacy is being free away from the attention of the public. As this isn’t a direct interview documentary meaning that he didn’t have to keep things private like addresses but at the same time he didn’t in a way, because he had to protect where he was going in Wilcannia and where about’s he filmed in the area and where he interviewed people, like when he went to a youth club for the kids. This is so no one can go and find them or try to do anything with their information. He had to make sure he wasn’t invading anyone’s personal space, such as when he saw a couple family members drinking and he went up to this boy who had strong feelings about how their lifestyle is and another member came up to Reggie asking question like who are you and what are you doing, getting defensive, this then made reggie explain himself.

Contact with viewer:

Out of this whole thing, this is the most realist thing about it, even though the whole documentary is real, this is the part where it isn’t organised meaning the people who comes across they aren’t planned. As this is called Reggie Yates – hidden Australia, it’s his job to give everything that is real for the audience which can definitely be seen in this documentary.

TASK1B - FINAL

Piers Morgan’s life stories.

Interactive: Piers Morgan’s life stories in a tv chat show hosted by journalist Piers Morgan, it’s an on-going series by ITV. This documentary sees piers himself interview some of the world’s most famous people. The encounter is between the film maker and subject which are recorded with a live audience. We see Piers engage with the situations that have happened to them in the life that have been shared with the public in the tabloids and ones that haven’t. This documentary incorporates interview and has a live audience as I have stated who are one of the most important parts of this whole documentary. In this show we can see a variation of emotions by images that demonstrate the validity or even verbal exchange. Piers who is one of the main stars in this show becomes the centre, an interviewer and in some sort a therapist to get a more understanding of what they went through in more detail as he is an outsider yet he knows about the situations that they went through. In this documentary there come several characteristics that come with it, for example the acknowledged presence of camera, crew and clearly seen audience.  Throughout the whole ‘interview’ which is based in studio, Piers doesn’t look at the camera, crew or even the audience once, he speaks directly to the one he is talking to and keeps his eyes straight on the subject to keep it professional but to capture the emotion on the subjects face. Monologues and dialogues are pretty much throughout the show, as most of it is talking so you can get an understanding from the person itself, and the monologues who are done by piers with a sort of slide show tells you the basics with detail but not that much detail. From this the audience is able to recognise what’s real by the flashbacks and some of the issues that are present can relate to some of those in the audience.

We all know piers doesn’t have a filter so he’ll ask the questions he wants to ask even if they come of rude or hurtful in some way, yet he always has multiple viewpoints that come back with different information. Whatever he says stays within the person but it never results into an argument from what he has said to the person, leaving the audience a better way of thinking for themselves. As this is an ITV show, there are bound to be ad breaks but none of the footage has been edited so it can have logical continuity.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Observational: keeping up with the Kardashian is a reality tv factual programme, that consists of real life places in America with some real (some call fake) individuals that airs on E!. The show focuses on showing the world what these five sisters (excluding their brother) get up to in their daily lives. The show counts as observational documentary because it follows these individuals around, their homes, and their work places/opportunities and even out for lunches. This simply allows us to see what’s happening and make our own mind up about the events with no voice over. With this sort of reality show there isn’t a sort of ‘fly-on-the-wall’ style of presentation because it’s not a sit down reality show. Keeping up with the Kardashian can also be classed as expository as the cameras are set up sharing a sense of realism. With this it doesn’t really have unobtrusive camera work to attract attention but this family get a lot attention by just walking out the door. KUWTK has very long takes in the show giving the impression that nothing has been ‘cut out’, even with ad breaks as it’s shown on E! but with some episodes of the show, if you really look at it you can sometimes see that some things have been edited/cut out but most of the time you can’t really tell. There aren’t really any zoom lenses but the whole thing is done with hand held cameras following the action. For speech that is over heard and not direct to the person can be seen, in an episode of KUWTK when they go on vacation to Thailand and Khloe is talking to Kim but ends up saying ‘I love him’ quietly in which they had to make a subtitle for it. Synchronous sound is throughout the whole show, its reality tv, you hear everything, to an echo in the room or even the wind from when their out and about.  In this observational documentary, the narrative is the presenters inform the audience with their opinion on their lives and is normally seen in documentary. This show in particular can be taken very negatively as its very strong in one opinion but can be told the opinions by others and be blow out of proportion and be exaggerated.

Wildlife – secret life of the zoo.

Expository:  wild life documentaries do contain the ‘voice of god’ and some don’t for the some I have seen, they don’t have ‘a voice of god’ they actually have the subject talking directly to the camera, explaining the action like what’s going on and the meaning behind some things. Secret life of the zoo is an expository and education documentary of animals as you get to see the person actually talking and interacting with the animals and the animals interacting with the cameraman. There is no interviews used in this sort of documentary or if there is we don’t get to hear it. In this documentary there is more than one narrator because it shows more than one part of the park, so you’ll get to see and learn about different animals in each episode and not just one. The last characteristic this documentary has is the audience, meaning us who just watch and listen. The voice of god allows us to understand what we are seeing in front of us. The main code and convention for these sorts of documentaries are facts, opinions and rhetorical questions which makes this an expository documentary.

Bear Grylls – breaking point.

Performative: bear grylls is a type of factual programming that is less straight forward, bear grylls himself is at the centre of the programme. It’s a documentary that gives an accurate account of a series of factual event, but at the same time it’s personal and subjective. As I said before bear grylls stars in his own documentary series in which he brings different everyday people (and some celebrities) on a personal journey to face their fears. This journeys that he takes these everyday people on are personal for bear grylls himself, as he is a survival expert and adventurer. This whole thing is self-reflexive for those who are staring in the documentary, for them to get over their fear. We also see some self-reflexive from Bear because this is something he’s done before and is personal for him. In this documentary he doesn’t really include or try to organise interviews but he does go along with them obviously so he has to talk to them and ask them how they are/feeling and anything about what’s happening on the journey. The whole thing is done by a hand held camera because it’s an adventure documentary, and it makes it easier for us to follow the filmmaker when he takes people on different journeys. One of the modes for this has the emotional feature of it. The codes and conventions is that the makers would touch on the making of the programme meaning the camera shots and movements.

News: Another factual programme is a news report; this is done by informing the audience directly whether it’s done by tv (bbc, itv, channel 4). Being said that they do the same thing, they just have different ways of doing it. Some are more worldwide based news and stories. Going along with how they dress is the most important part if the whole thing because in their eyes, the ones who look well dressed and smart gets the most respect and people from the audience side most likely think that, because they dress that why, they are more likely to be trusted in what they are saying. They also talk formally and use correct terminology that will not upset the public and sound more sophisticated. They present the news on a non-bias outlook but sometimes can be taken the wrong way; by the way they only show either the good or the bad.  

The news report I found is from the other day based on three men who are wanted over an acid attack in east London nightclub that has left two people partially sighted, in which one of them has been arrested. It’s been reported out of this attack there has been twenty people who were hurt and has been conformed Mr Collins (one of the attackers) is the boyfriend of The Only Way is Essex star Ferne McCann. This has been shown on the 6o’clock news on itv. With this comes the codes and conventions side to it. There are links to the studio, such as to another tv studio or to a live area with a field reporter. This can be found mainstream news channels such as the BBC and ITV and some American news channels. There are experts and a witness with opinions on a subject gives the viewers/listeners another opinion. The reporter will try to gain as a many witnesses as possible to gather lots of information. An expert provides reassurance and gives the audience facts and figures. This ties in to the news report about the attack in the night club as it has a lot of witnesses who were at the scene of the crime.
