6. To begin I would suggest a establishing shot which lets the audience know where, what to expect, and suggest the films theme.

7. After establishing the setting through an establishing shot, get straight to the point. Get a shot or shots which tells the audience why and who the film is about, I would suggest either a montage of players playing soccer and the about the game in general or just a shot of footballers playing possibly alternating between different angles.

8. When making the film think about the audio narration when choosing your shots as not only is this form of audio compatible with the documentary genre, but it will make it easier for the future when you add

audio to the film, for now just focus on placing the clips where they are needed and cutting them appropriately to fit. Editing and audio can be done later.

9. After the introduction get to the interviews begin by getting a nice reasonable interview to allow the audience to adjust to the film and what it is going to be about along the course of the film sillier interviews can be set in place, as the audience are know aware and know what to expect from the youthful protagonists.

10. Between introductions almost like a transition into another interview, as well as a platform for narration, input the clips of the game being played. This is also relevant to allow the audience to be reminded the theme of

the genre and give an insight into other features of the theme.11. Use these tips to set the basis of placing and inputting clips/sequences in

your documentaries narrative structure.12. Finally once all the clips are placed in a clear and understandable

narrative structure that works toward the theme of the genre. Add your audio for transitional clips a n upbeat instrumental can be used fading in

13. Then you can include your narration audio. First by watching your film and creating a script, then recording your voice reading the script in a clear and distinct voice, which captivates the audience, alongside the action occurring in your film. You can break your speech up into pieces or do it all in one take your choice.

Lastly as a suggestion to end the film, create a montage of clips where the children are smiling and laughing enjoying them selves and for the final shot a establishing shot of the players playing there soccer game and fade out. Render your work area by going to ‘Sequence’ at the top on the tool bar and clicking ‘Render Entire Work Area.’ After that proof check your work and your done. Great work!
