Drafting Newspaper Advertisement

We did two drafts of the print advertisement, this is the final draft.












This was the very first draft of the print advert, we decided it did not connote the theme of the documentary and looked unprofessional.

Voice over Recording

We had to record the voice over twice. This was the first time we recorded the voice over.





Then we re-recorded the voice over using a different person, we thought this sounded more professional.


Scripting Voice Over


VOICE OVER FOR DOCUMENTARY:
In this lesson, all three of us sat down and decided where the best place for the voice over would be, and we decided that we would put it over the opening sequence to introduce the documentary, and then we would then collect a montage of our own pictures that we collected to introduce each of the main interviews, we did this throughout.



v/o: Everyone has their favorite pairs of shoes and with over 43 million pairs of shoes sold each year in the UK alone thats hardly suprising. For some people these every day nessesities can be a painful experience, but for others it can become an addiction.


v/o: Shoes are not always just for looking stylish some peoples footwear is esencial for their workplace


v/o: With an ever increasing market the public have more choice over where to shop, so how are retailers competing to keep their customers coming back?

v/o: Over recent years both independent designers and major shoe retailers have been producing more unique styles of shoes targeting a more specific audience as people try to find their own style

Evaluation

This is the evaluation of the preliminary task.



The positioning of the interviewee's body was incorrect and they kept moving so this meant that the audiences eyeline kept changing. The rule of thrirds was used incorrectly and the camera was not steady. Also the shot type was incorrect and there were jump cuts due to lack of cutaway shots. The ending of the documentary cut too quickly and needed to fade. The mise - en - scene and the music did not link to the topic and the music was too loud in parts. The questions were not always clear and the order of the answers did not make sense. Overall, the documentary could be improved by following the rule of thirds method more closely, choosing a different location to film that links to the topic, keeping the interviewee and camera from moving, having proper cutaways to avoid jump cuts and using appropriate shot types.
