Documentary: Art Director

My mind map ideas: 

This is the spiritualist church located in Bolton centre:

We picked this place since it is something that we all sort of believe in and hasn't yet or cant be proven. So we thought it was very interesting to document, many people shy away from spiritualism since they do not understand it or are scared of it. Thought it would appeal to many different types of audiences.

Typical codes and conventions for a documentary:

• A voice over- this helps people connect better with the documentary as you get footage with someone with specialists knowledge.
• Real footage- non-fiction footage which shows you what its actually like within the spiritual church if they would ever visit. 
• natural sounds and lighting- helping you emphasis yourself being there and what you would feel being there, helping yourself feel good when watching the documentary- wanting you to visit the centre 
• unobtainable information- interesting facts about the history that the man (who spoke the majority way through e.g. voice over man) did, since the public may not be able to find that information for themselves. 
• interviews- interviews with the public, too get the truth and since people trust public recommendations over someone who is an expert (seems that they are trying to sell the place too you/ not get their opinion) 
• Text- quick way of getting information across ( interviewers questions, title of film and end credits) 
• Non-diegetic sound- towards the end, hymn songs, since this has a strong link with worship and spiritualism 
• Mise-en-scene- not a big part since we wanted to show how casual the people are dressed, comfortable to visit- members of staff or clairvoyants are clearly dressed differently to easily distinguish the contrast of the visits too staff. All the props we needed were already there. - we wanted to make it a very natural, casual and real setting. 

Spiritualism is coming i believe in dearly and had much fun going into the centre; i still go now.
Here are some photos of the two sets of Tarot cards I own:

Spiritualism gives you something to believe in afterlife, being able to contact the dead through mediums giving you hope and closure to any given situation. To believe that goals and too carry on living once as a spirit and also believe in some kind of god.

Tarot cards (78 in a pack) helps map out a mental or spiritual path. Past, present and or future.
