Permission of use for 'You've Got A Friend In Me'

The main music bed we used in our documentary was the toy story theme tune, to avoid copyright Jordan e-mailed Walt Disney records to ask permission for the use of their song.

Voice Over For Our Documentary

To produce our voice over for our documentary Jess had to create a script that would go with our documentary. Once she had typed it up she had to make sure that it was ok to use with the rest of the group.

Jess then asked a michelle if she could read out the script and be recorded. Jess had to book time in the studio in school to ensure that the quality of the recording was good enough to use with the documentary. Once this was all recorded Jess brought it to the group and put in our production on Adobe Premiere pro. Jordan then cut it up accordingly to the clips we had, and put the voice over our work so we then had a description on our production.

Production Of The Newspaper Advert

Before Lydia made the newspaper advert she had to plan out on paper what she would include, once she had done so she then took the photographs that we needed to create the newspaper advert in Photoshop.

This is a picture of a window that has been enlarged to fit 2 thirds of the screen to emphasis that there is outside and inside to the advert.

She then added a black background to ensure that the bottom of the screen wasn't a plain colour.

Next she added a photograph of a teenager playing an xbox and enlarged her by pressing ctrl+T.

She then cut around the edge of the teenager using the polygonal lasso tool, which ensure that she didn't get sharp edges around the image and the shape was still kept.

She then added a buzz light year behind the third layer or the teenager, and enlarged the image my using ctrl+T, she tilted him slightly to the left to ensure the toy could be seen end emphasis the fact the toy was looking over her shoulder to come in.

Next an action man figure was added, and enlarged again by using ctrl+T.

Next a teddy bear was added, she made sure it was in front of the action figure but still behind the teenager, she also made sure that it was large enough to see the detail of the sad mouth.

Next the channel 4 logo was added to the left of the advert. she ensured that it was positioned correctly and could be see against the background.

She then clicked the Rectangle tool and created a white box on the bottom left for the text of the show to be put on.

Another box was added on top of the first rectangle, she then ensured that they were both coloured in white to make the text stand out against the dark background.

The slogan of the documentary was then added to the first box by using the text tool and changing the size of the font to 36pt.

The title, date of scheduling and the time was then added to the lower box, again using the text tool, ensuring the text colour was black and the size to be 23pt.

This was then the finished product that Lydia created for our newspaper article in Photoshop.

Drafting Newspaper Advertisement

Rough draft for our newspaper advert.

Production Of Our Radio Advert

To produce our radio advert Jess had to write the script for it show it to the group to make sure that we approved to the script. Jess then asked Michelle to record our radio advert as well as our previous recording of the voice over.

Jess had to pre book the studio in school for the better sound quality and get Michelle to read over the script before she recorded the advert. Once the advert had been recorded Jess then put it onto Adobe Premiere pro, next Jess had to import voice clips from our documentary to include in the advert, she also imported the music bed that we used on our documentary which was the main theme from 'Toy Story'. Once she had a variety of voice clips she then cut them and put them together accordingly to her script she planned out earlier. Once the advert had been made the whole group then listened to it to make sure that it flowed properly and sounded good enough.

Codes and Conventions of a radio trailer

 

Radio trailers often use a T.V advert as a radio advert.

On average a radio trailer is around 30-40 seconds.

The voice over - Narrator outlines the narrative.

Sometimes they pose questions that will be answered in the programme.

Sometimes direct address is used "you" it intrigues the audience.

Extracts from the documentary are used, such as; voxpops, music, interviews

Sound effects are used where appropriate.

Music bed also used where appropriate.

Slogan always used before scheduling information.

We are given scheduling information used at the end of the trailer.

Title, date and time, channel have to be said on the end of the radio trailer so the listener know when and where to watch the programme.
