Tom-producer, blogger

Throughout our documentary i have used many different types of technologies such as tripods, cameras and i-movie HD. Although i have not used any of these previously, i managed to overcome them effectively, and i feel i have contributed to the group in a very prominent way by thinking of shot angles, using editing techniques and doing loads of blogs! Here we can see myself working on the blog, although this piece of technology was not the most complicated, it was very effective and one of the most important parts of our work as we were required to update it daily.

Chris - iMovie HD

Throughout the course Chris has used: Apple Macs, Cameras & Tri Pods, iMovie & Audacity. I believe that Chris has learnt how to use the iMovie very well throughout the course, editing together the clips with appopriate transitions that he would otherwise not know how to without have taking this course. I believe that he has become an advanced user of this software and was vital asset to team when creating the documentary.

Test screen-28/01/10

Today we are going to be test-screening our drafted footage. We will be screening to a small collective audience that has selected by our teacher. After the screening, we will then give the participants a questionnaire to fill out.

Feedback:

Our audience overall gave the documentary very positive feedback and were able to relate to it. However the main opinions to improve our documentary were to make the interviews longer and more diverse, and also make the statistic text time longer as many people couldn't read it.

Editing continued-21/01/2010

Today we continued to edit out footage. After obtaining the footage from Enfield Town, we now have more clips to choose from to include within our documentary. We cut down and adjusted clips to fit our documentary, this approximatley took 2 hours and leaves us to move on next week.

We have been filming in Enfield Town today and we filmed our opening shot introducing ourselves and also stated that we were going to interview the public. We had some problem filming this as the site manager who heard we were filming something about food... He just had to get involved. Excited from what he heard he started want to show off saying that he owns the site and said that if wanted to film there any longer or in the future we would have to contact him. However, we managed to film what we need to film with great convincing.

Editing-19/01/2010

Today, we recieved criticisms for our production. We still need have much work to do but, most of the footage will add time to the documentary. We will also continue to edit the footage and try to prepare as much as we can for the test screening which is Thursday the 28th of January.

We have been doing filming today, we decided to go and film the opening scenes of our documentary that introduces what we are going to be filming throughout the documentary. As we are not used to filming, we kept laughing and had to do retakes. However, we managed to get through it and get all of the shots done.

radio stations to target audience

The main radio stations we would use to advertise our documentary would be radio 1's breakfast show with Chris Moyles and Capital FM's breakfast show with Johnny Vaughan. These radio stations would be perfect for our documentary as the radio targets wide audiences from around 15 year olds to 40 year olds- this provides us with families on the school run, college students and work commuters.
The radio stations provide games, pranks and competitions- this attracts our target age for the documentary and if we use an advertisement around this time, many targeted people will hear it.
