Changes to the Opening Sequence

Since the last uploaded video, we have added music to the opening as well as during an opening voiceover and statistics that were recorded using a logitech microphone, fed into the computer of the editing suite. Our statistics promote the police force in a positive way, as drug use amongst teenagers have gone down significantly over the last decade, which we believe to be a direct result of the police being fully engaged in helping those who have drug issues and stamping out underage drug use at its early stages, before it results in a more serious addiction. All of our statistics, we believe, are truth as they are taken from a reliable source (NHS).

Opening Sequence

Below is the opening sequence so far:

Due to paperwork to allow us to film at the police station, we were only permitted to film the outside of the station, so haven't been able to continue constructing the rest of the documentary

We chose Stencil font, as it reflects the genre of crime, as it links with graffiti and rebellion.

We chose a 6 way split screen to create interest and support the idea that there will be different crime stories featuring in the overall documentary.  

Voiceover Script

Welcome back to Crime to Court, ready for Part Two.
Before the break, we witnessed PC (insert name) assisted by PC (insert name), arresting two criminals at a local underground car park. The two teenagers, reported by a local pensioner, were taken in on suspicion of being in possession of illegal drugs (enter facts).
The pair are now escorted into the police station for further questioning where, if proven guilty, they will be held until court.
(Footage of filling out data sheets)
(Footage of fingerprinting
(Footage of closing Interview room door)
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the case, we are unable to record the interview live, but PC (insert name) has agreed to talk through the evidence with us and give some indication as to how the case will progess.

Investigation Essay

Handed in 5th draft of the investigation, hoping to achieve a low C grade, due to the changes I have made. This was the last draft to be handed in so that focus can be moved onto production of a crime documentary.
