Assignment 1 – Issues in Factual Programming
part 2 of evidence and research for assignment.
in this post, i am going to be presenting examples of the following issues which producers face when creating a factual programme.
this information will be extracted and edited using classwork discussions and knowledge and the internet. the listed URLs are where the information was imported from:
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/proud-and-prejudiced/4od
accuracy - the documentary ensures that it includes accuracy within the factual documentary by getting correct statistics and ratios to back up theories. they also made sure that the documentary was accurate by getting the correct information and data on the topic.
balance - the documentary ensures that it provides the correct balance on the different views of the EDL and the small group of Muslim extremists.
impartiality - the documentary makes sure that they show the positive and negative aspects of the argument to catch the opinions from both groups and not favour any of the groups.
objectivity - the documentary is not really based on any objective outlooks because it is based on the thoughts and opinions of two different people, their beliefs and what they stand for.
subjectivity - the documentary uses the technique of subjectivity by allowing the leaders Sayful Islam and Tommy Robinson to express their views in personal interviews and records the feelings of the demonstrators.
opinion - the protagonists of the documntary express their opinions on their thoughts on the topic of the documentary and discussion.
bias - the documentary was non-biased making sure that they do not offend and favour any of the thoughts of the documentary, and they left the choice of opinion down to the viewer.
representation - the documentary shows and uses alot of representation on the two demonstrating groups and their leaders, and it also questions them on stereotypical views (e.g. Tommy being a thug and Sayful being a terrorist).
access - the documentary was able to access and show the real information of the two leaders, e.g. real names, where they are from and located, etc.
privacy - use of privacy was used within the documentary due to safety and identity issues.
contract with viewer - the contract that this documentary had with the viewer is that it had warned them of strong language, upsetting scenes and offensive thoughts and behaviour.

examples found of each point
the documentary i am going to be looking at and basing my examples on the issues which occur with producers in factual programming is Channel 4's documentary called Proud & Prejudiced. this documentary is based on;
"Proud and Prejudiced is the story of two of the most controversial men in Britain.
Tommy Robinson, a tanning salon manager, is the leader of the English Defence League, the biggest far-right street protest movement for a generation.
Sayful Islam, a former tax inspector, heads a small group of Muslim extremists, who have become notorious for abusing British soldiers and burning poppies on Remembrance Day.
Both men enjoy a cult-like status with loyal followers, both are specialists in making highly inflammatory speeches and defying the authorities, and both are from the same town: Luton.
Caught in the middle is Sarah Allen, the leader of Luton Borough Council's 'Luton in Harmony' initiative, the official fight back against the town's reputation as a hotbed of extremism.
Filmed over the course of a year, this is an intimate portrait of the two men and how a dangerous local feud has become an alarming national drama."

creating and editing the documentary
At the start of the song, we will insert the sound track of - Pass out "instrumental"- Tinie Tempah
this will help relate to the flashing and fast pacing images at the start of the video.
When the interviews appear within the video, we are going to insert - The Lazy Song "instrumental" (Bruno Mars)
This is so it will relate to the topic of relating technology with the laziness of humans.
To finish of the documentary, we are going to insert the sound track - I can transform ya - Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne
this is so we can relate to the technological/machinery theme of our documentary
