The Human Face, BBC Mini-series, John Cleese

What I picked up on from the first part of the series:
- Cleese is a comedian and he began the documentary with a bit of humor e.g he was standing on a face, some of the background music was comical.
- All the interviews were medium shots, which I found a bit unusual as usually documentaries of this kind often have close-ups of body language etc.
- Most of the music was instrumentals.
- In most of the interviews, the interviewee was seated in a dark place with lighting. This made reinforced that I definitely need to check the lighting in the plastic surgeon's office and any other locations as I don't want to have to carry unnecessary equipment.
- There was use of both colour and black/white.

- The only things that were zoomed in on were the magazines and photos.

My Schedule for the month

SCHEDULE:

I have done a time management matrix and the survey is my number priority!



I have completed a large proportion of my research, but I've yet to watch documentaries related to my topic (as all of the documentaries I have watched for technical reasons aren't related to my topic). Some of the documentaries I have chosen to watch are:
