Final Video Questionnaire

After we finished editing the video we had a big screening in front of the class, we then asked them all to fill in a questionnaire on what they thought worked within the video and what could do with a little more help.

Advert Font Ideas

As part of our ancillary tasks we have got to create a advertisement for a TV listings magazine, some of the fonts we have looked at to include in this are:

This font is called Royal Pain, I really like this font and think it would be perfect for an advert as it is bold and looks quite 'spooky' and so therefore would represent the genre of the documentary very well.

This font is called Suicide. I really like this idea for a font as it look asif the letters have being wrote in blood, and so again connote the genre of the clip well again. It is also bold and so therefore would grab the attention of any audiences.

I like this font the most out of the three we have chosen, it is called Tolkien. I like this idea the most because it looks quite 'Old' and gives off a feeling of paranormal activity by just looking at it. It is not very bold but it catches the attention of the audience with the fine detailing and the way it connotes the genre of the clip.

Advert Idea's

As part of an ancillary task we have being asked to come up with a poster for our documentary that will show what time etc the programme will be aired on the TV. Everyone in the group will come upwith some ideas for the final idea, here are my idea's.

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.
