Introduction to all texts

My feature

My documentary is about how the English youth system works and the problems it faces to

date, I also look at what reforms the FA can introduce and what reforms they already have

in place. In my documentary I look at the English youth system in different an gles such as

from an international point of view meaning the England national team. I also compare and

contrast with other European nations in particular Italy and the Serie A.

Another angle that I take me my documentary is to look at the number of foreig n players in

English league and see if theres a link between the foreign players and Englands poor

showing in the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

New text

The new documentary that I will be looking at is Scottish youth football short documentary

. This is a documentary is very similar to my own, whereas mine looks at the problems the

English youth system faces this documentary looks at the same problem but from a Scottish

point of view. This documentary looks why Scottish football is in decline, include the

national team who failed to qualify to last summers World Cup from a group which they

should have finished second behind Holland.

It shed the light on their top teams (Celtic & Rangers) and why they keep losing heavily to

smaller clubs I Europe. And it centres it arguments on the ground that the Scottish youth

football system needs to be changed and the documentary has interviews with people suchthe head of the SFA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRsF0i1adgw

Old text

The old text that I am looking is a channel 4 documentary called An impossible job created

after the England national team failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup in the USA, which

also falls into the year where England again failed to show their quality in the World Cup.

This documentary looks at the reasons behind Englands failing and what the catalysts were.

The documentary is centred then manager Graham Taylor as he talks about the problems he

faced when England head coach.

This documentary is similar to my documentary because Graham Taylor in this documentary

refers a lot to the fact that he thought the English youth system w as not good enough to

produce frequent young quality English players. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-

Chris Evans Wayne Burnett Jason Twum

In my documentary I take a few angles in theyouth system and what affects

young players getting morechances in the first team at theclubs. The angles

that I take are does the number of foreign players hamper young English

players receiving more first team or is it the governments or F fault that

young player are not breaking into their clubs.

Old t xt

Graham Taylor an impossiblejob looks at the reasons why England failed to

qualify for the1994 World Cup in US . He mainly blames Englandsyouth set

up and says it needs to be reformed if England is to win the World Cup again.

This documentary mainlycentres its argument around that fact that the

English academies are not good enough.

Thesimilarities between this documentary and mine are the fact that this

documentary was released to talk about England failing in a major tournament

which was thesamescenario that I was in when I made my documentary. This

documentary also talks about the English youth system and the problems it

faces.

But thecomparisonsstop there, because in my documentary investigates

other reasons why the England national team is not doing well for e ample the

questions are ask about foreign players.

But this documentary doesnt take different angles on the topic and thats

mostly likely down to the fact that there were not that many foreign players in

English leagues1994.

N t xt

TheScottish youth football isverysimilar to mine because it talks about all the

same that facesScottish football.

The documentarycontains interviews with key personnel in theSF

higher

achy, this issomething that this documentary did better than me.

Head of development in theSF

Because I feel this might have been because of the popularity of the English

league, and theF being more popular.


5/16

Mode of address

Your feature

In my documentary I feel that the mode of address is very objective asking

questions and then looking for answers. This approach I think helped mydocumentary, because audience always knew what I was going to do next and

knew exactly was happening in my documentary.

Other mode of address that was also evident in my documentarywas that my

documentary was very direct to the audience in terms of speaking directly to

the camera and the audience, but I also do this in an informal way to engage

with my audience in terms of understanding me.


6/16

Old text

The mode of address in Graham Taylor impossible job is very formal, this

mainly due to the fact this documentary was broadcasted by channel 4, and it

also portrays a former England manager.

As like my documentary this production was also very objecti ve asking

questions such as what are the reasons why England failed. This documentary

also came across as saddening because it shows Graham Taylor strugglingwhen England manager this is evident when it shows England winning a match

and then going on to lose the next and ultimately not qualify.

This is a difference between my documentary and channel 4s documentary,

where in my documentary I tried to find reasons why English academies do not

produce enough young talents in contrast to other top European countries.

And Graham Taylor an impossible job in some sense tried to make the

audience feel sorry for him, showing him struggling.


7/16

New text

The Scottish youth football documentary is very similar to my own because its

looks at the problems within England and Scotland respectively. As my

documentary and the new text that I am looking are very similar we also share

the same mode of address.

It is very direct, without actually having a presenter in the documentary as it is

all done in a voice over style documentary. It is also objective as it asks

questions and wants to find answers why Scottish football has or is declining in

recent years.


8/16

Conventions

Your feature

In my documentary I decided to use as many conventions as possible because I

felt that it would make my documentary more interesting, and it certainly did.Some of the conventions that I used included music sign on sign off, vox pops,

and also archive footage and these features certainly made my documentary

more exciting.

Here are some of the conventions that I used in my documentary, this shows

the different types of archive that I used in my documentary. Her e you can

also see my vox pops, and also my sign on and off.


9/16

Old text

In Graham Taylor an impossible job there arent that many different

conventionsused the main conventions that are used in the documentary are

voice overs, and the most frequent one being archive as the documentary

shows footage of Graham Taylor when England manager and also England

matches are shown.

Here are some examples of the conventions used in this documentary; here

you can see archive footage of when Graham Taylor was manager of England.

This shows differences between my documentary and channel 4s

documentary.

But the conventions used in this documentary were very effective because it

went through all Englands qualifiers with voice off Graham Taylor in the

background. And it gave the documentary a sort of timeline effective, meaning

everything was shown chronologically so the audience can what problems hefaced in each stage.


10/16

New text

The documentary about youth development in Scottish football is very similar

to mine but not when it comes down to conventions. This documentary was

similar to the old media text that I looked at.

Although it did have a few conventions it did not have many vox pops, and not

any music two conventions that are littered in my documentary , so there are

some conventions that are different.

Some conventions that are similar are conventions such as voice overs, sign in

and sign off and also archive footage.

Archive footage was used a lot in this documentary because there was no

presenter in the documentary a voice over was a must.


11/16

Style and form

Your feature

There was a lot of sound in my documentary, mainly being dial ogue this was

important to my documentary because it told the audience what the topic wasabout.

Other sounds in my documentary were voice overs and music and that was

used in many ways primarily as a background to what was being shown on the

screen. The music I used I felt that it related to my topic and what was being

shown visual on the screen mainly because of the lyrics.

Music that I used:

y Chiddy bang opposite toadults

y Kanan waving the flagy Gorillaz dirty harry


12/16

Old text

The camera language of this documentary was mainly focused on the topic it

tried to show the dangers if you would call it of managing the England national

team.

This shows some comparisons between our documentaries because my

documentary was a times very light hearted, also the sound used throughout

this documentary was mainly instrumental sounds to cause a bit of tension as

seen for this graphic.


13/16

New text

The main sound in this documentary was the voice over which was throughout

the entire documentary. I think gave the documentary a better sense of

understanding because without a presenter being in the documentary

insteadthe camera always cut to facilities and graphics about Scottish youth

structure hence it being more informative.

This documentary was not light heated which again shows comparisons

between mine and Scotlands youth development documentary.


14/16

Technology

Your feature

In my documentary I used a lot different technologies including camera,

microphones and tripods, but the stage that I used the main bulk of different

technologies was in my post production stage; when I was editing my work.

This is one of the different equipment I used when editing, but in my

documentary there is not a time when you can see any of the equipment that I

used, except my graphics which I added to put more information across to my

audience the information mainly being factual.

Here are the graphics that I used in my documentary, and this feature is an

aspect that is evident all of the text that I have compared with mine.


15/16

Old text

In this documentary as I stated the main bulk of different technologies are in

the graphics that are shown in the documentaries to show information about

what is happening in the documentary and the graphics are mainly factual to

show the audience reliability.


16/16

New text

In this documentary as I stated the main bulk of different technologies are in

the graphics that are shown in the documentaries to show information about

what is happening in the documentary and the graphics are mainly factual to

show the audience reliability.

Here you can see name graphics which is also a similarity with my

documentary, as I included this feature in my entire documentary.
