After a summer dominated by shocking revelations about phone hacking and celebrity superinjunctions, former Heat editor Sam Delaney investigates how much we're entitled to know about the private lives of the famous - and how much they have a right to keep hidden. Do celebs deserve to have their sex lives exposed just because they are famous? And could the rest of us really be jailed for passing on their secrets? As he meets victims of phone hacking and tabloid exposés, and goes out with the paps hunting the latest juicy shots, Sam asks how the gossip he has always considered harmless has suddenly become so serious - and even dangerous.

Analysis of documentaries

The entirety of my documentary

Notes from watching past A2 advanced portfolio final pieces

• Use a tripod to keep camera steady
• Consider sound level - may require a voice note over a video in order to make the sound clearer (especially in a long distance shot)
• Consider the pace of editing and ensure it is suitable for the genre of the film
• Use sound effects
• Close-up shots work well in a trailer
• Hand-held footage = out of focus/shaky/blurry (good for horrors)
• Consider institution e.g. Working Title, Universal
• Juxtaposition (music matching image)
• Use an engaging subject = documentary
• Rule of thirds  (subject on the 1/3 of the screen)
• Edit to suit the point being put across

Short Film

About a Girl 

2001 (short film)

Duration: 9mins 50secs

• rough area, parent with several children, no attention: father shows interest in football, pub and newspaper and the mother in her younger children

Factors in which I can consider if I choose to create a short film:

• Establishing shot taking from a low angel makes the actress appear more isolated
• Actress uses stream of conscious (saying her thoughts)
• Quick cuts
• Monologue (one person talking)
• Song lyrics used throughout = irony, preoccupied, child fantasy = being in a band/famous marriage
