Update on Idea:

 After discussing with the group about our documentary idea, we have come up with an alternative idea that can be done without a participant in it, which we have struggled to find. This idea would involve two people in our group starting their own Onlyfans account and giving a first person account of what their experience is like using it. Through this we can get an insight into how hard it is to grow, the issues it causes with family and friends and also the journey of what they decide to post and feel comfortable with revealing. 

This of course could be an issue for the Laurence and Josee who will be doing it, however we are all on the same page that they will only post what they feel comfortable posting. For example, Laurence will post fitness content and Josee feels comfortable posting selfies/instagram posts. This first person experience allows us to look at what it's like starting up an account and gives an inside look to how easy it is to grow etc. 

At the moment this is the only big change we have decided to do and will meet again to discuss how this will look over the 15 minute documentary. It is a big step to overcome the issue of finding a participant and would allow us to still make an amazing documentary looking into the world of Onlyfans, from the perspective of a new user.

Week 7 - Subtitling

 In this seminar we looked at how to set up subtitles on premiere pro for our projects. I won't go into the out and outs of how to achieve this, but I want to discuss how necessary this is for our project and not just our project but possibly in future work. In our project specifically we will definitely need to look at adding some subtitles in for the interview when the neoncouple speak, not just because it was over zoom, but because they wore masks to hide their identity and this skewed some of their speech so some parts are hard to hear. This is easily fixed through simple subtitles at the bottom of the screen for the sections we use of their answers.  On top of this, growing this skill allows for possible work in the future. It was discussed in the seminar that there is a lot of work out there for good subtitling work, especially nowadays with shows on streaming services. This gives incentive for me to actually focus on doing this and doing it well to possibly improve chan...

Week 5 - Post Production Planning

 This is another seminar on the post production process that I found helpful in knowing what is important in my role to focus on. We were told to know your footage inside and out to know off the top of your head where you would want footage to go, this is definitely a beneficial thing to be able to do as I have done this in previous projects and it helps to be efficient with the edit.  The importance of making multiple drafts was also discussed so you can constantly fine tune your film to make it the best it can be. This then allows you to narrow down your story to make it the best it can be, focusing on interesting the audience from the beginning to the end. As mentioned before, it is integral to create a rollercoaster that allows for the highs to feel even higher and the lows to feel lower. If a rollercoaster stayed in the same motion the whole duration it wouldn't be as enjoyable, this is the exact same when it comes to editing a documentary/film. Being aware of this will h...

Documentary Title:

 This is a short post just to update on a possible title for our documentary that my group have discussed and put forward. I think this is the best title for our documentary that Josee suggested:  Onlyfans: The Online Sexhibit  I believe this is a great title and it really highlights the voyeuristic aspects of not just Onlyfans but also our desktop documentary. This is achieved through the joining of the words exhibit (things you look at) and sex (what Onlyfans shows); this title may change as time goes on, but I believe this is a great name put forward by Josee that should be the title.
