Re-arranged Interview

In recent hours we have learned that our interviewee has cancelled our appointment to meet him at Southbank for other personal reasons. We have now arranged to meet a new interviewee, a senior citizen, who will still be able to compare programmes to an era where there were no televisions when she was a child, we thought that this interview would be a good substitute because we will still be able to demonstrate a difference between past and present and engage the audience on a more personal level.
Having this comparison we can also ask the interviewee's opinion about children's behaviour before and after television and her opinion about what effects television has on younger audiences.

Third arranged interview

This week we have had an opportunity to incorporate an extra interviewee to our documentary, when we were asked if we wanted to perform the interview at Southbank, London on Thursday 11th Febuary, we decided that adding it to our documentary would prove to be an excellent opportunity showing essential key points and demonstrate a professional opinion.
Michael Metcalfe is a TV industry expert who was the former director of GMTV, he will explain to the audience his experiences within the TV industry, what he thinks is acceptable and not acceptable in the contents of programmes, what effects he thinks these have on children watching the programmes and comparing modern day children's programmes to programmes he watched himself as a child demonstrating the differences and engaging the audience on a more personal level.
Despite thinking that we had all the necessary footage, having Michael's opinions included into our production will give the documentary more depth and help us conclude the documentary.

Editing - Voiceover

After accumlating all our necessary interview footage and editing it on the apple mac we have created a rough documentary, this includes still images of cartoons in place of where footage from that cartoon will be, background music and voice over.
The voice over has been created in the past two lessons, together we both decided that Charlie should be the one to narrate the voice over as she has a clearer, defined voice.
The voiceover includes facts that we have aquired from various books, magazine/newspaper articles and websites from when we started to conduct our research. The narration also questions the audience in which one of our various interviewees will answer with their opinion.
Of course this is a rough draft at the moment as we still have to gather various clips from our cartoons and define certain areas of the documentary, but having this rough draft of the documentary gives us a base in which we can work into and improve so that overall we have produced a documentary to the best of our ability.

Supporting piece- positive poster idea

After creating two posters designed to shock and attract audiences, using bold stencil fonts and monotones, we decided that it was essential to create a third poster with a positive atttitude. So from what information we had gathered from the interviews we had conducted we decided to use a cartoon that was predominatley popular with the children.... Spongebob Squarepants.

Again we focused on the colours and fonts we would use on the poster and what reactions they would create from the audience. we found that using a colourful palette meant that the audience were attracted by the brighter colours and created a more positive attitude.

The font we used on the poster was relevant to the topic of our documentary which was children. The font has an almost nursery theme to it which we thought was deal for the tone of the poster.
