Editing Plan in terms of the opening:

The Opening:

Camerawork:
Shots of the places homeless people sleep in Cambridge, in a montage sequence. 
Shots including statistics on homelessness.
Long shots, and establishing shots. (variety of shots to fulfil brief)

Diegetic soundtrack, more sombre to create anticipation.

(Montage editing, slow pace to engage audience by allowing them to read the statistics about homelessness.)

Title shown in front of image of slo mo or a panning out shot of Cambridge.

Title 'More Than Homeless', clear and bold font; in white as it links to the colour scheme of my magazine, and contrasts from the background to make it engaging. (emphasises convergence)

Use of a statistic in front of the images of Cambridge to follow conventions of documentary:

First shot:
'There are over 320,000 homeless people in Great Britain.
This rose from 294,000 in 2016.'

(One person in every 59 in London, are homeless.)

Second shot:
'However, an estimated 62% of the homeless are hidden and won't show up on official figures.'

Third shot:
'A total of 2,920 young people (aged 16-24) were accepted as statutory homeless in 2017.' 

It is estimated that more than a million households are at risk of becoming homeless by 2020.

Forth shot:
'Cambridge has one of the highest rates of rough sleeping in England, with 0.8 rough sleepers per 1,000 households.'

Soundtrack then fades out, and first interview (John) fades in. 

To set up the characters, and give some basic background to individuals I will include text next to them on the screen. (name, age, where they are from, job etc)

Front page for magazine (planning + drafts):

Planning: I took some long shot images of the individual who would represent the actor, Rob Young, who stars in the film 'The Struggle'. I selected a bright, and appealing background to engage the audience; I kept a restricted colour palette in mind when taking these images to link back to my magazine article. By using warm, yellow tones in the image I was able to create convergence between my front cover, double page spread, and the title shown in the documentary. Using the rule of three, I ensured the individual was placed in the centre of the shot, and took up the majority of the image; to convey a high status and significance of a celebrity appeal to the magazine. In terms of proxemics, I placed the individual in the centre of the shot; to engage the audience, and to allow me to place my text on either side. I also left room on the top of the shot, to allow me to use a large, and bold title to create clarity and an appeal for my audie...
