Ancillary poster ideas

Another part of our ancillary piece we have decided to make as well as the billboard and newspaper article is a poster advertising the documentary.

Here are the two drafts we have created. We will be using the similar layout for each of them, but we will be taking additional pictures of Sam to make the poster look more attractive.

The first poster is very simple. It shows the title of the documentary, what time and has the Olympic logo to show the audience what the documentary is on. It however lacks the information shown in the second poster as this gives more specific information on what the documentary is about and who is staring in it too. Like the first poster it has all the vital information such as the time and date of the documentary but however lacks the title which may need to be added in the later stages.

Interview-Sam

Part of our documentary must involve some form of interview with someone. We have decided to interview Sam Sturt who is a potential competetor for the 2012 Olympics. Me and Chris have managed to get an interview with Sam where we will be asking him questions on his views on the Olympics and his training in preparation for 2012. We are also planning to take pictures for our ancillary piece and also ask Sam additional questions to further the level of detail in the newspaper article which we have started and have some questions and answers for.

In addition to interviewing Sam we are hoping to interview his trainer and have Sam training in the background to create more of effect, meaning and to add to the conventions of the documentary. We will be asking the trainer questions on her views of the Olympics, Britain's chances are medals and Sam's chances of winning gold.

Ancillary-Bilboard idea

For another idea for our ancillary piece we have decided to create a bilboard as advertisement for the documentary.

The bilboard would be a Welcome to London sign to act as a advertising and marketing campaign to dress up London in prepartion for the Olympics.

By having this in places such as airports and in the Olympic village it will increase tourism and create more awareness of the 2012 Olympic in London.

This is a draft of the bilboard we are planning to create. We plan to use the same layout with the wrting, the logo and the information on times of the documentary. We are planning to take more photos of Sam for this ancillary and the other poster and article we are planning to create too.

Interview questions progress

As part of our ancillary piece we interviewed Sam for the article we a planning to create. Here the questions and answers we recieved from the interview.



One we have got ALL the questions and answeres we will be inserting this into a newsparer format. We alsoneed to take additional pictures of Sam for the article and other ancillary pieces.

Editing process

Today we began the first stage of the editing process. We managed to to edit the archive footage we collected from You tube on 2012 bid announcement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_lJkZ_K7jQ

We had to edit the unnecessary parts of the footage and only use the sections where there is the announcement of who the games are awarded to.

We used a series of transitions and sound fading to open and close the archive to add more of an affect to the documentary.

For example we we used a fade in at the beginning and fade out at the end of the archive to create more of an effect and meaning to the opening of the production. We also enhanced the sound out the beginning of the footage and made the sound fade away once the archive had finished.

After the archive footage we plan to have a voice over briefly explaining what our documentary will be about whilst at the same time different shot of landmarks around London.
