Setting

This is where we will be filming majority of our exterior footage for the documentary. It is a pub called the Ring O' Bells. We have choose this location because of the fact it is a very old public place. It also has a graveyard behind with a church to add to the ghostly feel. We took some still images to get a feeling of the surrounding and so we could plan the outside shots. We plan to film the introduction with a presenter here.

Paranormal Activity

'Paranormal Activity' is another example of the way ghost hunting can be filmed. In particular with this, the angles that the cameras are placed. They are placed purposefully on door, windows and other places of interest. They show a majority of each room they a put in. As like in the other clips I have looked at they use a night vision camera.

Most Haunted

'Most Haunted' has very recognisable opening sequence to introduce the programme, it's very fast pace to build tension before watching the actual footage, the music adds to this effect too. In most haunted there is a presenter who welcomes the viewers and introudces the episode fully with a brief history of the place of interest. Like 'Ghost Hunters' there is also a series of mini interviews.

Ghost hunters is classic documentary on the supernatural. They investigate paranormal disturbances in locations that have been reported. They do this with a ghost hunting called 'TAPS', which they have mini interviews with throughout the programme.
In every one of these documentaries they use some sort of night vision also the teams go round with torches.

Documentary

For A2 I have chosen to make a documentary. I am working in a team with 1 other person and we have chosen to do a ghost hunting themed documentary. For this I have looked at various ghost hunting themed programmes such as 'Ghost Hunters' and 'Most Haunted'. I have also looked at some horror films such as 'Paranormal Activity'. I have looked at these to get a sense of the setting, theme, camera angles and general making of the genre.

An extract from a new documentary TV programme, lasting approximately five minutes, together with two of the following three options:

A radio trailer for the documentary;

a double-page spread from a listings magazine focused on the documentary;

a newspaper advertisement for the documentary.
