Audience Feedback

In order to gain audience feedback we had to create a questionnaire. We then uploaded our media products onto websites such as facebook and youtube so people could answer these questions. I placed the results in prezi.




I asked 5 people people to rate the media products on a scale of 1-5 (1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest) Some of the qualities rated were it is was informative, entertaining and eye catching. I have recorded someone rating the documentary, radio advert and newspaper advert.

Newspaper Advertisement Production

I was given the job to make the print advert, meaning I had to take the pictures that would be on it and edit it all on Adobe Photoshop.

I first took pictures of Golden Retriever

 Yet when I looked back over them I realised that they were too dark so I had to retake the shots.







Retake of the shots

I made sure this time that there was a lot of light and took as many as I could to make sure that I had the right one for the print advert.

I then had to find an man and take his picture with a newspaper in his mouth. I took his photo from both sides and quite a few so I had a range to choose from. here is some of the better ones.

 Below are the two images that were picked for to be put onto the poster.

once the photos had been taken I was then able to start the editing process of the newspaper advertisement. I did this on Adobe Photoshop and print screened the whole thing.

Drafting Newspaper Advertisement

Before the editing process could begin I had to draw a draft of the newspaper advert. This will be helpful as when I start editing I can look at it to see what needs to be added.

Codes and Conventions of Newspaper Advertisements

Before the newspaper could be edited we had to look at the codes and the conventions of newspaper adverts so we knew exactly what we would have to do when we eventually started to make it.

Recording and Editing Radio Trailer

After we recorded the voice over we were able to edit the radio trailer. This would also include clips from the documentary which would hopefully entice the audience in. I have placed the editing process in prezi.

Scripting Radio Trailer

Once listening to real radio trailers we then had to write our own. This would include what the voice over we said and the clips we would use.

Codes and Conventions of Radio Trailers

We had to look at the codes and conventions of radio trailers so we would know what we needed to do when the time came to make our own. This included listening to real radio trailers and taking notes on specific areas.

Voiceover Recording

Scripting Voiceover

During the editing process we had left spaces in the documentary for where the voice over would be. These consisted of before sections and the voice over would be used as a introduction to it (to let the audience know what they are about to watch.

Editing

Once all the planning was done we were finally able to start editing our documentary on Premiere Pro CS6. We each had a go at editing at some point and have collected screen grabs of the process and put them all in prezi.

Once the editing process had been done we needed to email the production companies that owned the sogns we wanted to use and ask their permission if we could use them.

The songs that we have chosen

Edit Decision List

We were told to create an edit decision list before we started editing. This consisted of us planning each shot we would use and putting them in the order that they would appear. This would be used and looked at as we edited our documentary.

Logging Sheet

Over the duration of filming we used three memory cards. Over the course of the filming we would log in the shots that we had done, a short description of the shot and whether or not it was a good take or a bad take.

Filming Still Images

On 27th November 2012 after looking through our videos again we realised that we needed to film one more thing; still images. So me and Chloe printed off three images and filmed them. We zoomed in on certain areas and filmed them with no camera technique so we had a range to choose from.
