Evaluation Question 1



We can see on the left how we have used a common code and convention, we have framed this interviewee to the side and not having them looking at the camera.

We also can see here on the right the same style but in a professional piece. This is a code and convention we chose to use in order to make it look as professional as possible

In this shot here on the left we can see that a close up shot is used. This is common in a documentary to portray feelings and let the viewer gain a better undertsanding of what the documentary is trying to put across.

On the right, we have a screen shot from our documentary. This shows up employing the same code and convention as that used in the professional one above.

John  Corner said that  ‘What distinguishes documentary is the portrayal of the recorded sounds and images of actuality."We understood this and we decided to put in actual footage which relates to what we were talking about. For example we spoke about advertisments and Subway told us that it is very important for them. Therefore we decided to show this through their televised advert...

John Gierson said that a documentary is, ‘The creative treatment of actuality.’ We percieved this to mean that an individual takes their topic and create their own idea of what they perceive it to be and portray it in their own way. We therfore decided to show a person eating a sandwich very close up and then have the graphics at the end of this sequence. We chose this as everyone eats sandwiches and everyone has their own choice and preference...

Evaluation Question 2

It is evident that all three texts work together in promoting and producing the documentary. The print advert is used to entice people at a quick glance with the central main image and the use of information whcih is minimal but enough. Here is our finished Print Ad compared to a professional one by Channel 4...

• The similarities are clear as both the Channel 4 logo is on the right, this is a common code and convention of a print advert.
• There is only one central image, this doesnt take much away from the text and allows people to take in the information easily.
• There is little photo manipulation, the back ground in both has changed yet the central image looks to be original.
• The texts are both in the bottom left of the picture and both have information on the documentary.

Evaluation Question 3

We looked at our audience feedback as we felt it was very important because they will be the ones to watch it and our main focus and objective was to make sure people enjoyed it. We initially gave out a questionairre in which we asked people what they would like to see in a documentary...

From this we looked at each individual question and then concluded it, this gave us a basis in which we could look at to include in our documentary. We knew this is what would attract our audience and we had to work our hardest in order to achieve the satisfaction that we wanted. 

The final questionarrie we sent out was to see if we had included what we aimed too. We wanted to see what people though of our documentary, we wanted to see if people would watch the remaining duration.

 

Overall from our results i think we did recieve really good feedback, i think we successfully met many peoples requirements. Our feedback was good.

From this we can see that as a whole, included print ad and radio ad, that we have recieved the majority of 4's and 5's. This suggests that we have managed to use our previous questionarrie and appeal to the audience in which we aimed for. We feel that we did managed to make our documentary look very professional by including cutaways and vox pops ect. This was very popular as many of the audience said that we would not have to change anything.
