As a group, we gave out are questionaires to members of our target audience for some constructive feedback for our 3 products: documentary, print advert and radio trailer. Firstly we did this with other groups in our class, and then we gave out qustionaires to our peers and family. Overall, our feedback was mostly positive with praise given to us for camera work, editing and for producing a professional style documentary. Most of our feedback commented on how well we had used our topic to suit our target audience of young adults and also the use of useful information given if watched by more young adults. However, we were criticized because sometimes documentary did not flow at all times and certain cutaways could have been more relevant to what was being said in the interviews.

Newspaper advert production

To produce are newpaper advert for are documentary we used photoshop to edit are chosen image to make it look bigger and apply are slogan and scheduling, for this we used fonts that would resemble other channel 4 programmes to make it look professional. We also added the channel 4 logo.



After cutting out the image carefully, we added the channel 4 logo to the right hand side of the A4 page also including text at the right hand side corner with appropiate font that was relevant to the documentary.
The text included:
"Does my bum look big in this"
Nobody's Perfect
Thursday 9PM, Channel 4.
We also added a white background to the text as this is common in other channel 4 productions.

we used the text box to do the text (below)


We also used the box tool to create the white boxes behind the text







After realsing that the channel 4 logo was too small, we decided that it needed to be slighlty bigger. Pressing Ctrl+T enabled this. We then dragged the corner with our mouse to make the logo bigger but inproportion.

Images for are newspaper advert

We decided to use are second idea for are newpaper advert as it would be more eye catching therefore attracting more people to watch the documentary.

Below are numerous images we took;

this first image is the one we chose to use

Drafting newspaper advert

IDEAS:
1st idea
- as a group we decided on an idea for our print ad:
-it was to include a male and female with differnt body parts from different people connoting how people would change their body image to look a certain way.
- it would include our scheduling (Thursday 9PM, Channel 4)
- also our slogan "How far would you go to reach perfection the title of our documentary
This would all be n the right hand side of the print (at bottem)
- it would include the channel 4 logo
This would be on the left handside of the print ad.



2nd idea

We felt that this idea would not be eye catchng enough, therefore we thought of the idea of a common phrase that people say, 'Does my bum look big in this'. We produced an image which would support are slogan to conform with codes and conventions of newpaper adverts.

Codes and conventions of Newpaper advert

As a class, we discussed codes and conventions of newspaper advertisements for documentaries. The following link shows examples of of the print adverts we looked at as a class:

- Channel logo: stands out (indent)
- Slogan is relevant to content(eyecatching and intriguing)
- Picture relates to the documentary
- Shows scheduling

Recording and Editing radio trailer

We recorded our radio trailer in a radio studio inside school. We made we had no interuptions and that everything said was captured clearly. We used a member of staff which we thought had an appropriate voice for are documentary

We then used Premire Pro ao that we could cut and edit of radion trailer where appropiate.

Scripting the Voiceover

Body image is considered to be a massively important factor in a person life wether they be male or female. For girls, makeup is a key ingreedient for perfecting thw way you look. The beauty industry brings in about 250 millions pounds in the UK alone. This is a staggering amount to spend on something you wipe of each night.

On the other hand, weight is also a common problem in every day life with some cases going to the extreme causing anorexia or obesity. A healthy but time consuming way to loose weight is Weight Watchers. This gives people the stability when wanting to loose weight.

Cosmetic surgery in some cases is a life thretening choice, however, some proceeders can only take 20 minutes. Carol Mclaughan tells us about her experience.

Questionnaire Results - Pie Charts and Graphs

The finall question allowed us to see if the majority of people are conscious about what people think of them and the results show that 60% of the 30 questioned are concerned about what other people think of them.



The results from this question show that over half the people interviewed have used sunbeds before.



This question allows us to include sunbed usage and the thoughts about having a tan in are documentary which is an aspect of body image. It shows that 17 out of 30 feel better about themeselves when they have a tan.



We used this squestion because it allows us to include the words suggested in are documentary. Words such as food and hunger were the most associated words with 'diet'.



From the people interviewed slim and and normal were the most common description of body type.



This question shows that dresses are the most comfortable item clothing that people wear this may suggest that people are more conscious about how they look as dresses are commonly used when dressing for a important situation.



We asked this question as it gives us an opportunity to use a song that people find happy and uplifting which we could use when discussing a related topic in the documenatry. The results show numerous songs which we can use.



This question gave us a good understanding to the extent of which people care about their body image, it also allowed us to see what products are most common. From the people questionned they were able to name 10 products that they use. This shows the wide range of hair and beauty products which are in the market today.



This was a good indicator of the extent of how conscious people are about their body image as those with a longer length of time spent getting ready are more likely to be those that are more conscious. From the results it shows that the majority of the people interviewed take half an hour to get ready and 10 minutes being the lowest number of people.



This question is important to are documentary as it is the main focus, the results show that 70% of the people interviewed are conscious about what people think of them.



This question allowed used to include the results in are documentary as we can mention any celebrities that may influence people to change their appearance and lifestyle.



We used this question to acknowledge how conscious people are about their weight and it found that 20 people out of the 30 regularily check their weight.



With this question we established that 20 people out of the 30 we questionnaired had been on a diet and we were also able to find out what diets they were.



The results of this pie chart can be used as specific data for are documenatry as it found that there are more people not on diets than on diets from the people we questioned.



We chose to ask this question as we coulduse the results to choose what songs could be included in the documentary. After receiving the results we found that Jessie J's - Nobody's Perfect would be suitable to use for are documentary.



We asked this question as we would be able to relate it to the production of are documentary.



We are aiming are documentary at teenagers and above and that wis why the majority of people interviewed were teenagers.



We aimed to interview an equal amount of male and females as we want to create a program directed to both genders.
