I will use software’s that I am familiar with and that I know how to use at a good standard. Furthermore I may attempt to do some form of motion tracking text or titles for the documentary, also It will adopt the expository and participatory mode. It should be edited on Adobe Premiere and possibly After effects to add in some professional looking titles and texts. I and my partner plan on creating a high quality documentary. The length of it may be between 5 to 10 minutes. The posters as well as the magazine spread should synergies with each other. We will do this by using similar font styles, pictures and possibly articles.
