Recording and editing radio trailer

The images below are of the radio studio that we recored the audio voiceover for our documentary and our radio advert, also below I have screen grabs of the editing in adobe premiere pro.

This image is taken from adobe premiere pro and it is of the editing of our radio advert, this image shows the different segments that the 3 sets of audio were chopped in to and placed in the correct area; we put the audio in a specific order due to the archive footage we had picked to use in the advert.

Scripting radio trailer

Voice Over script for Radio Advert

"Millions of people are obsessed with different things, be it Harry Potter, or teenage heart throb Jusin Bieber"

[sound bite of Justi Bieber fan]

"Or maybe something totally off the wall"

[sound bite of vox pop (odd obsession)]

"how far do people go for the things they ust cant get enough of"

[Soundbite of Justin Bieber fan explaining how far they would go for him]

"uncover peoples hidden obsessions"

[Soundbite of vox pops of peoples obsessions]

If our radio advert were to be broadcasted on a radio station then I suggest that stations such as readl radio and juice fm would play the trailer due to a similar target audience .
BBC stations such as radio 1 would not air the radio trailer as they are rivals in the industry and would not advertise another TV company.
"Whats yours? Just Can't Get Enough, Tuesday at 9 on Chanel 4"

Voice over for Documentary

Introduction (over Montage)
Obsessions have always been a feature of many peoples lives, even way back in the 60's with the Beatles. For some people its celebrities and football teams, for others its teir appeatence or even ironing.

Intro to Justin Bieber Interview (over his music video)
Pop sensation Justin Bieber stole the hearts of many girls after releasing his first song 'One time'. He may love the attention, but some fans take this obsession to another level.

Intro to Twilight interview (over film clip)
Its not just teenagers that are having their hearts stolen, since December 2008 adult women have been obsessed with the phenomenon Twilight.

Codes and conventions for a newspaper advert

-A4 landscape-versitle shape so it could be used on a billboard
-One main image (striking and sums up the programme)
-Text-slogan,title,scheduling and TV company logo

TV advert production

Images used in the TV advert

These ideas above are what we through of first to base our TV advert on, we decided to you the eye because it was more relevant to our subject. These proto-types were created so that we had a basic idea of what we were going to create for our final product.

If I was to publish my TV advert I would choose to put it in heat magazine, TV times and newspapers such as The daily express and other papers. There is a similar target audience so my production would benefit from being advertised by these companies.

The eye image above is how the advert started off, the contrast of the eye colour was changed to make it stand out more to the target audience. The image was zoomed in too so there was not much free space underneath the eye meaning when the images were added to the eye they stood out more and were clearer.

Screen grabs of production

The channel 4 sign was added onto the advert quite large as it was also presented like that on the documentary adverts below, the lay out of the 'Just cant get enough' advert is similar to them too. In the image above also shows how around they eye has been made darker which will highlight the images added later.

The two imges above are images of the TV advert in progress and how more images have been added since the first eye advert was created, we added more images as we went along because it looked better and filled more space.

This is the final advert for 'Just can't get enough' the images added to the iris of the eye are the many obsessions that people can have. Harry potter, twilight and Justin Bieber are clearly stated in this eye as they are the obsessions that are included within the Documentary.

Documentary Adverts

Below are the adverts that I found on www.4creative.co.uk. These adverts are all for Documentaries therefore the layout of them helped in the production of our TV advert.

Audience feedback

We asked 21 people what they thought about our documentary, we collated the feedback and i created a graph to show that 40% said they though our documentary was Excellent.

Over 48% of the people we asked said that they though our documentary was quite informative but still 9% said it was very informative.

Editing was too said to be excellent from the feedback we received.

A full 100% said that they would watch the full prgramme of our documentary by just seeing the sample of 5 minutes.

29% said our camera work was excellent but a total of 33% said it was very good too.

75% of the people said that our documentaries strong point was following the codes and conventions.

Cutaways were seen to be a strong point of our documentary by having 33% say so.

38% of people said they could not see a weakness

with our documentary although the main problem that was seen was the voice over

The print advert had 48% of the audience saying

it was very creative.

43% of people said that there was no weakness on our print advert.

Conclusion

Overall the feedback that we recieved we very good, I asked a range of different people for their opinion on what they thought was good and what could be improved within our documentary and ancillary products.

After getting all the feedback from the viewers I would now know what things I would need to do to change my production for the better; for example I was given feedback about my voiceover not being very strong so that would be something that I would change if i where to do it again.

I know that a strong point of our documentary was the interviews we conducted and our print advert therefore I would input that to my next product.

Feedback that I received from Youtube and Facebook.

Documentary in production

The effects that can be used on the documentary are shown in the top left hand corner, on the time line below it shows a cross dissolve being used on either end of an image. This makes the cut less sharp and completes the documentary to be more professional.


This image above shows a red line above the documenary, this means the video clips below needs rendering therefore the video quality is not perfect at the moment, hitting the 'enter' key then renders the video and produces a higher quality video.

Evidence of our working on the TV documentary

Evidence of editing

The screenshot above shows how graphics were used in our documentary, they were used to show the name of the person who was being interviewed, underneath we re-used the title of the documentary such as in this interview its "Just can't get enough of Justin Bieber" the graphics were added by pressing F9 on the keyboard when you were located on the right area of adobe premiere pro. Its presented in white serif font to make it stand out to the audience. The text it presented on the left of the screen due to the interviewee being on the right, if they were on the left then the graphics would also change.






This screenshot is an example of the interviewee being on the other side of the screen, if graphics were added to this shot then they would be added to the right, which would meet the codes and conventions.



The screenshot above shows how we used cross fade within our interview to intercut professionaly the cutaways into our interview. This screenshot shows how a cutaway fades in and out of the screen at the necessary point in which its needed in the interview. This keeps the audience more entertained and the fade makes it look tidy.






This screenshot above shows an interview from our documentary, I have taken three different screenshots to present how the interview is broken up into including cutaways. These three screenshots show the ending view of the first question straight into the harry pottor cutaway then back to the view of the interviewee.
