M17: Possible Title

Inside the Injury:

Inside the injury is straight to the point and instantly tells the reader that is either football related or sport related. A positive about this name is that it sounds like that this will go into a lot of detail when watching it which will keep the watcher entertained. A downside to this is that it's not very football specific and the whole point of my documentary is that it is solely football focus. My documentary also sounds more injury focussed rather than caring about the whole life of the subjects involved.


Fall from your feet- the footballers story:

I like the idea of this as it seems very dramatic and you get the feel that it is not a comedy story and there is a incredibly serious tone about it. However I want to explore the good times and the bad times of both being a professional footballer and what there lives have gone onto since there retirement. I feel that this also has a very long winded title which may annoy and confuse the audience. I need something catchy and gripping.


Life After Football:

I like this title for a lot reasons. Firstly, it best appeals to my target audience and this is a title I found worked from my audience research. Life After Football summarises exactly what is required from my title. Essentially, Life After Football will help me to explore every possible part of the players life that I am interested in. Life After Football also sounds catchy and self explanatory. This particulalry attracts the part of my audience who have spent most of their lives used to consumption of football stories and terminology.

A11 Location Plan

All of the filming and images have taken place at the Dragon Leisure Centre. All of my editing will take place at Bodmin College which is where I shall compose my advert. I like using one location as it gives off a significant continuity value which I feel is vital throughout my work. These locations are similar to my main task.

A7: Photography Research

Throughout history, cameras have been hugely developed and to this day, manufacturers are always looking at ways to go one step ahead to develop their cameras even further. I shall personally be using  a 60D which was brand new as of the end of 2014. This displays that I will have a high quality image based on how recent this camera has been both made and developed. It is very high in quality in clarity which will put in a better stance compared to someone with an average digital camera. The 60D also has a sports mode, which is perfect as I am using said camera to take sporting images.

Observational photography and sports photography are the two main types of photography used within my magazine adverts. I shall combine both of these styles together in order to give off a professional and exciting style within my advert. I will use a similar image of either Jamie Lowry himself or one of his training sessions as an instrumental part of my advert.


In terms of observational photographers, I am personally a huge fan of Gillian Wearing and her series of quoted images. I like how a lot of her work features questions insides people mind but in ways are never asked. When studying GCSE Photography, I produced a series of my own images on her based on issues affecting my life and I still feel that to date, these photos turned to be a huge success.



The first of the two images in this post is an image of Raheem Sterling playing for England. I like this image as it shows a wide number of aspects of football and all of its connotations. It shows how that he is willing to put his body on the line and will fight for his country. It's gripping as it is an international game and you can tell the pure emotion and atmosphere via this singular image. I am fond of this image both as a whole and in terms of its representations.

My second image is similar to one that I shall more than likely be using. It is of Jamie Lowry who is the main focal point of my documentary. Here is him in his playing days at Plymouth Argyle. I might use this or something similar in my documentary to show clearly to the audience a true representation of him in his playing days. This will add emotion as well as a personal touch for him.

A24. Lighting Research

From my research I have discovered that there are nine main types of photographic lighting. Side lighting is used for particularly dramatic photographs. Back lighting is used in images where the lighting is behind the image. Rim lighting is at an angle which is used for images of the wild and of nature. Ambient light is a softer tone which often bounces between surfaces. Soft light (diffuse light) provides even lighting which reduces contrast and also minimizes all shadows. Hard light is used to intensify brightness as well as creating stronger shadows and higher contrasts. Spotlight focuses on a specific area or subject. Artificial lighting is used to generate specific lighting via studio effects. Various combinations are used to add various effects of lighting into a specific image.

I shall mainly use side lighting and soft lighting as I want my channel listings advert to be as gripping and representational. By using minimal but enough lighting, I will have both plenty of lighting and still as realistic of an effect as physically possible.

A20. Article Draft

Life After Football is an inspiring documentary that focusses on professional footballers and how their lives dramatically have changed. Looking at archived footage as well as extensive interviews with all of the players involved in this documentary. Writer and producer Jonty Colman came up with the idea after playing under ex Chesterfield midfielder Jamie Lowry at Bodmin College Academy.

Jamie was forced to retire from the professional game aged 26 having made over 130 appearances in Leagues One and Two. Since retirement, Lowry has moved into the coaching side of the game working with youth at Exeter City, as well as being the Head of Youth Development at Godolphin Atlantic and the Head Coach of the Bodmin College Football Academy. 

We hear the shocking stories behind how one injury can subsequently ruin a professional career and how both physically and mentally a players life. How a player like Richard Flash, can go from training with the Class of 92 and living with David Beckham, to only playing 11 professional matches in his entire career and retiring aged 23.
