1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
2. The interviews in our documentary follow the codes and conventions in several ways. Our Interviews are placed on either a plain background, or a background which has relevance to our interviews.
3. We have placed the interviewee on either the right side or left side of the screen with their eyelevel a third of the way down which shows that we have followed the codes and conventions. None of our interviewees look directly at the camera, but instead look at the interviewer, which gives it a professional look.
4. . To avoid jump cuts we used cutaways about the topic that was being covered in the interview this gives it a more. When the graphics appear on the documentary they seem to dissolve on screen, this was an effect on premier pro. The effect is used in many professional documentaries .
5. The voice over used in our documentary and in our radio trailer is standard English and clear this is so many people can understand it. Again this follows the codes and conventions of a documentary When filming we used a tripod so the footage was steady and it made it look more professional.
6. Radio Advert The radio trailer follows the conventions by having extracts from the documentary so the audience can be interested in the content of what is in the documentary, also the voiceover is the same person from the documentary giving the audience a sense of familiarity. Like in a professional advert. We used a music bed, the same song was used in our title sequence this doesn’t distract from the content of the trailer but gives the audience
7. Newspaper Advert Our newspaper advert follows the codes and conventions of newspaper adverts as it has one striking image which interests the target audience. The format is a2 landscape which professionals use in order to adapt to the different types of media such as Billboards. The Scheduling is on the advert, along with the slogan which will help the audience familiarise the product. The channel is also on the advert so the audience know when and where to watch it.
