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:

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.
