Making the Documentary: Sound of the Underdogs

Wednesday 18 June 2008

Review

I worked in a group of four and produced the opening to a documentary which is called ‘Sound of the Underdogs’ which followed upcoming and well known artists who struggled to make it into the music industry. This documentary gave young and upcoming artists a voice to say how they felt about what they were doing but also to help others who wish to aspire to become budding artists. It was great fun working together although we did struggle at times with lack of communication. The documentary's main aim is to try and show how hard it is to break into the music industry but also try to show some ways in which to overcome this difficulty. Its main points focus on the struggles artists have faced in getting where they are and advice to others whilst showing vast improvements over the years to help people breakthrough. With special guest appearances from 29th chapter (well known Christian hip-hop group) and Sunit and Raxtar (hip-hop and RnB group), ‘Sound of the Underdogs’ fuses different music genres together to provide something for everyone. Overall although we had our ups and downs, we worked well as a group and overcame obstacles to produce ‘Sound of the Underdogs’ which fulfilled its purpose of being informative whilst entertaining but also original and creative.
