After submission the final doco, the research on the community is well done despite the problem that have during the doco making process. As I’ve been researching about “The V’s” all the problem that they’ve face like other urban communities in this world, they still survive and keep going now.
Getting the material where time management and compiling everything were a bit hassle till the end. The music that I’ve included in the doco has the free permission by the artist as it has been stated through the website.
Through this studies and research on the community that I’ve chosen, It discovered deeper on the community and how they works things together to keep their relation together and bonded to each other. From here mutual understanding arise to build a good relationship among each other. Eventhough it is a big matter in order to solve the problem as it is not easy where I’ve put higher respect to the community management how they worked so hard to keep the team.

This Penguin Photostory is one of example of doco that use similar techniques with my doco. Eventhough this doco is a simple doco but the introduction have the strong elements on how the person relates the image with the message that the person wanted to tell to the viewer.
As I’m using still images, voice and text, this doco give a guideline and picture on how am I suppose to produce the doco.

The elements of “This Is Spinal Tap and Borat” does not really show a documentary which is more like a short film especially “Borat”. Somehow the “This Is Spinal Tap” have a good introduction where the narrator speak up and tells about the background of himself and what exactly he do and produce.
The elements of this doco “This Is Spinal Tap” could attract the viewer and much more interesting where they divide into few part e.g Spinal Tap performance, the public interview and interview on Spinal Tap itself. From here we can see the art of the doco with different places and different people that involve in order to make the doco alive. Basicly it has strong introduction and strong elements in the doco which it brought the real meaning of “This Is Spinal Tap”.
Compared to “Borat”, the colour of the doco itself not enough bright and more like a dull images and graphic which it is not an eye catchy. People or audience might get bored with it and even the content itself does not really attractive and interesting.

The documentary will be using video, text, stills and audio files…
In order to complete this documentary there will be few interviews
on the team members (The V’s) …
Posted by: lynnismail on: March 19, 2010
Finally I got the idea for my documentary..
I’ve chosen to explore issue on my Futsal (football) team in Melbourne The V’s..
FUTSAL is a football game that played in smaller court and mainly played indoors with a small amount of players
with 2 teams and 5 players for each team.
According to Wikipedia.com FUTSAL came from the Portuguese futebol de salão and the Spanish fútbol de salón (and colloquially fútbol sala), which can be translated as “hall football.” During the sport’s second world championships held in Madrid in 1985, the name fútbol de salón was used. Since then, all other names have been officially and internationally changed to futsal.
It is a community as we meet every week for practice, communicate each other
and even if we don’t have practice we still interact each other either and socialize
together.
The team members are from Malaysia which are students in Melbourne…
The mode of documentary would be Participatory documentary as I am part
of the community…
It is an urban community as the population keep on changing..
The issue that I will explore is the crisis or problem that
we have when it comes to the end of year or the end of study period as we
need to find new members to replace the player that leave Melbourne for good..
Cheers
