When I start with the non fiction media, I believe our job is to make a video reflect the real world and convince the audience this story truly happened in the real world. Also, as a producer, I hope that my production can bring to the public a meaningful and thoughtful moment.

In the practice of A4 in the Real to Real course, my group members and I made a short documentary movie to present the Tattoo worker’s life. Ever since I thought about the tattoo, it eminently brings me an image in my mind, that is needle penetrates the skin and shrill sound. From my experience, I can find that the things that produce great direct stimulation are images and sounds. So, I strongly recommend our photographer Donna to take an extreme close-up of tattooing. Because close-ups can emphasise the subject, it contains fewer details in the shot and provides higher quality focus and stimulation to the audience. It turns out, all my team members are happy about that and we make this shot as our opening shot.

Next frame is also a practical frame. It shows the character sit there and the background is moving, which present the information she is going to a place. It’s also a daily life for some people, come and back to the office and home. So it is very close to reality. In addition, the character does not have much movement but this image shows the high quality of reflecting the real world. It can refer in The wolfpack(2015, M. Crystal) too. The camera is no many moving, but the character and the frame is often alive, and the angle and hight are generally as same as a person’s field of view. Moreover, this movie’s director is very good at shooting daily life. She shows “convincing” to the audience by how she is experiencing the story you are looking at. Presenting various routine that as same as ours is clever.

Finally, to sum up, the static of sitting there is very immersive. You can also try the first-person perspective when you have too many similar shots, which is also very immersive. However, beginners need to practice constantly, you can start the interview with the interviewee looking at the camera. Overall, I feel that we have done a good job in this short documentary.
