After Filming Analysis


We went to the Old Queen's Head in Sheffield to film our 'Most Haunted' style documentary, we rented the pub out after it had shut for a fee of £50. We started to film at roughly 11pm and finished at about 3am. We went to the pub earlier in the day too, to do some shots of the outside of the pub and to take a look around, both the landlady and her husband were really nice and helped us out with any extra information we needed and navigated us around the pub. When we were filming we used two different camera's, one was a college camera and the other Tom's night vision camera. This was useful as it gave the video that more realism using a night vision camera. While filming we used the normal conventions of a Ghost documentary, with screaming, strange noises in the background and we made a Ouija board which we complete in the dining area. Overall the filming went very well and we all had fun taking part, even though we all had specific roles within the group for example mine was the historian I also did a bit of filming etc. If we were to do some filming again we could perhaps interview the landlady and customers of the pub and maybe put a bit more information into the video because of its genre as a documentary.

Advert


As part of our ancillary tasks we have being asked to create an advert for our final video and so to help i thought i would research already existing adverts to see what it should look like.
The advert above it very simple but yet very bold and show the audience exactly what the programme is all about. The main writing 'trucking hell' is a play on words which connotes that the programme is about trucks and that also it could be dangerous as it has being made to sound like the common swearing term beginning with f. The actual informations is in a simple box to the side of the image and tells us what time its on and what channel, this is all the informations that the advert needs and so therefore it is very effective. It also has the History channel logo on the bottom of the advert, this is going to make me put the Living TV logo onto our advert. The image is grey and connotes ice/snow and again shows what the documentary is all about.
