The Documentary Mode
I chose to film my Machinima documentary from the observational and expository modes. From documentaries I have studied, they all use the same types of angles and subjects before getting onto the actual theme. For instance, documentaries will start off with shots depicting close up and/ or off centred landscapes or objects. Then start to get long pans of the surrounding area before focusing on the main subject. This is done to introduce and get the audience to feel the surroundings and subjects, to feel like there they and experiencing this first hand, allowing them to get into the film on a more personal level. I found that using a combination between these two documentary styles is the key for demonstrating and testing my hypothesis in addition to demonstrating the effects of explosions on the different forms of porosity.
The observational mode will introduce the viewer to the surroundings and setting of my documentary. With long takes and wide pan shots, viewers are left intrigued and wondering what is coming next. Although the pace of my documentary picks up in order to get a feel and better understanding for the characteristics of explosions, the music is synced to add rhythm and flow to excite and entertain.
The cuts, takes and angles are in the style of the expository mode. This is done to emphasize the effects of explosions on porosity and the results. This style allows the documentary to look like a series of test and experiments, leading the viewers to answer the hypothesis.
The documentary presents the hypothesis is a fun, fast paced, exciting way, combining two documentary styles in order to connect and demonstrate these concepts to the viewer.
Result of large explosion
FAIL!
It was not a success.
I thought making a exploding barrel gigantic would
result in a huge explosion.
