In this shot I focused on the scene of the jet skis parked on the edge of the ocean, so I decided to show a wide shot with a tilt so that the scene is more lively. This shot was not ideal to be used for the real documentary because it showcases the sky and scenery rather than the jet ski.

In this shot I focused on the shot of the scenery in the beach, so I decided to show a slow tilt wide shot so that it shows the relaxing view of the ocean. This shot was ideal to be used for the real documentary as it is a good scene to end the documentary.
First cut
Feedback
Some of the positive feedback I received was that I went into detail when explaining the troubles and issues the ocean has as well as that I showed solutions and alternatives to daily things used.
Some of the feedback I received of things I need to improve in my documentary is that is that the interviewees are hard to hear because of the background music as well as that I should include some subtitles and introductions for the interviewees.
​
My response:
To improve on my documentary I will lower the volume of the music in the background of my documentary so that the interviewees can be heard, I will include subtitles so that the things being said makes sense and I will include some introductions to the interviewees so that it is known who they are.
