Audience Feedback

As part of our audience feedback we showed our production to some students in our school and asked them questions.We learnt that based on the answers we got from the questions we asked that we rarely challenge any documenatry forms and we confirmed them very well through montage shots, interviews, music and espicially slowed down shots to emphasise a point. Many of the students said they enjoyed the documentary and thought the target audience was anyone who would be interested in the Olympics.

Another question we asked the audience was what areas of the documentary could have been improved? The audience thought that areas of the audio could have been improved as some of the voice overs were too loud so they needed to be adjusted. Also some shots were too shaky so they needed to be stabilised

Final editing

Last week we managed to complete the final editing process of our production by adding the final archive footage and recording the final voice over. The next stage is to convert it to quick time so it can be uploaded to blogger and also burn it to a disk via the Apple Macs

Now we have finished the production we now had to do our audience feedback to see what other people think of our documentary and the ways it can be improved.

Ancillary-Billboard

Editing pictures

For my billboard supporting piece I am currently creating I have decided to go with the concept of Sam Sturt doing a flip and showing the different stages of. I have decided to do this as it clearly shows the documentary will be related to the 2012 Olympics. Along with this there will be some brief information on the documentary and text saying "Welcome to London".

After I took the pictures of Sam I had to edit them in order to create the effect that I was hoping for. For this I mainly used Paint as I could easily cut out the sections of the image and then fill in the areas for a better look. Once I had done this I went onto Windows Photo Gallery where I could fix the photo by changing the exposure and colour. I decided to go with changing the pictures to black and white as I wanted a grainy effect so that the picture looked distorted.

I will need go through this process again with the two other pictures I have taken too.

Using dafont

For our ancillary pieces I have decided to use dafont. Dafont is a website which gives a variety of different fonts. I will be using this for my ancillary pieces so that I can choose the best fonts for both of the pieces I am going to be making. Dafont gives me a huge choice of different fonts for different themes so it makes it easy for me to choose what font will go best with each of the supporting pieces.

The way dafont works is that I will choose a particular font and then insert the text. The text will appear in that particular font and then it has to be copied and pasted then cropped to size in a separate document as the text cannot be downloaded.

Ancillary pictures

Yesterday i managed to take some pictures of Sam whilst he was in training so that we can use them in out ancillary pieces. Once I have picked the pictures that I decide to use for the billboard and magazine article i will crop and edit them to try and create an effect that is appropriate for what I am trying to create.
