- 2. Existing Product-James Veitch’s contractualobligation The audio show is a very comedic story as it is not a documentary and has more of a quick pace as there is never a part of the product which is quiet as it helps the listeners not lose focus as they are constantly hearing quick successions of different interviews and the sound used to show a change in area or time. I decided to research into this type of audio project as it will help me to understand how to create the sounds of time passing or a change in location instead of a pause then a new scene etc. I need to discover another way to signify that there has been a change in time/area as this audio show helps keeps the listeners interested by using the (whoosh) sound to be fairly loud and used throughout the product so it can give a juvenile effect that is represented with comedy due to him being a comedian. It definitely has an audience which is aimed for younger teens all the way to young adults as his curiosity is his humor as he appeals towards a very juvenile thinking audience who enjoy “slapstick” comedy. The background sounds used throughout the piece ties in with the topic of the story which is the gaming industry as it has very retro gaming music in the background which will obviously infer his age and how he grew up with games (arcades) as the music also adds to a quite up beat comedy sketch. The sound is recorded very well and seems to be similar every time which could infer that the interviews all took place in the radio 4 room.
- 3. Existing Product-The BrexitPrime Minister I decided to do research into a more formal documentary as I wanted to understand what a regular audio documentary would be like as I want to understand what the difference in style of audio and how it affects the audience as it is obvious that this documentary is a slow and not excitable as the previous one as it is made to be informative and to be received by a much older age range as it is found as boring and doesn’t interest the youth as much, this could be due to the fact its very quiet and not exciting which will lose the attention of a younger audience although it has the ability to keep certain people interested like the older generation and maybe certain youths who are deeply invested in politics. The reason I decided to research into a completely different style of audio product is that I wanted to understand how to make a documentary and see what not to do so I found the polar opposite to a documentary on “odd” people which will include humor which was a documentary on the Prime Minister and Brexit as my target audience is very much aimed at a younger audience due to its content being quite serious but the storyline can be seen as comical. Researching into this documentary has informed me on how I can make my documentary more interesting and how I can keep my audience interested as this documentary is made in a successful way as it involves sound clips from the house of commons and also interviews as this all helps make up a well created documentary as this can help me create a well made documentary.
- 4. Existing Product-Louis Theroux Idecided to research into Louis Theroux as he interviews very different and some time dangerous people and I wanted to research into his documentaries as they're made to be intense and interesting due to the people he interviews as he interviews dangerous and ”odd” individuals as this helps the documentaries appeal to a wide range of people as the different people may appeal to a younger audience as they might find it interesting, comical etc. but it also appeals to an older audience as the interviews and language used is very formal as such and is a calm documentary and is rare to be as intense as a Ross Kemp documentary as his documentaries are very intense and music is used to raise adrenaline and create tension for viewers which appeals to a teenager audience to young adults etc. The documentaries are very well made as they include the questions as these are kept in to help guide the audience to not just side with the presenter but to hear the full response of the guest and understand each persons points. The interviews a re well produced which is also a reason why I decided to research them as it has a different lay out to the previous documentary although this documentary is also a lot like Ross Kemps many documentaries as they meanings of the docs are to allow the audience to understand the motives of some dangerous and “odd” individuals although Louis Theroux asks the more obvious questions he does so in a much more clam way than someone like Ross Kemp
- 5. Existing Product-Ross Kemp Idecided to research into Ross Kemps documentaries as these documentaries are very similar to Louis Theroux's and also very different as well as Ross Kemps use the idea of sound/music to help create tension in the more intense moments od the interviews or travelling as most of the points in these documentaries are very intense and the intense music helps with that as this also adds to the points od these styles of documentaries appealing to a younger audience than a Louis Theroux as Ross Kemps appeal to a more teenager to young adult audience due to the intense interviews with very violent individuals as these moments are what younger audiences find exciting and will be more invested and watch more than a less intense documentary on the Brexit Prime Minister and that this doesn't appeal to a younger audience. The idea of him using a background noise to build tension is an idea I would like to introduce into my documentary and so I have been looking into when the noise may start and when it ends as they “most of the time” end just before the outcome of the intense situation is scene/heard. These documentary styles are interesting as it helps to identify hat makes these intense docs so interesting and appealing to a younger audience as most stereotypically teens are not that into 1:40 hour documentaries but these style of documentaries transgress these stereotypical boundaries as the intense moments mixed with the violent people interviewed is almost seen as close to a drama that life can get to.
- 6. What common featuresdo the researched products have? All the audio projects like in to the idea of what I want to make as the comical show helped me understand how I maybe able to conduct my documentary which is in one studio and the same quality of audio throughout and also there is no part of the documentary which is silent as there is a constant noise throughout which helps me understand how I could appeal to a younger audience if I wanted/needed. Then the Brexit Prime Minister documentary was researched for a completely different as it helped me identify how to appeal to an older audience as it was the polar opposite to the first audio product as I researched this to understand the differences in documentaries and how I would make a formal documentary like the Brexit one compared to a fun and interesting audio product like the first one I researched. The 3rd and fourth documentaries I researched were very similar in their topics and interviews as they were both made fro a similar reason which is to entertain the audience and inform them on criminals and dangerous individuals around the world which gives an insight into life all around to the audience. The difference between Ross Kemps documentaries and louis Theroux's is the layout and templates fort heir documentaries as Ross Kemp uses intense music to build up tension for the audience where as Louis Theroux's documentaries only involve the full interviews instead. The links between all these products is that they involve parts that are similar to my project as the first one is used to help me identify how I will produce my sound and how I will record as I would enjoy the sound to be the same quality throughout my project and the 2nd product helped me understand how to appeal to my audience and how I could appeal to a much older audience. The 3rd and 4th product helped me understand the questions I could ask and how I could involve the entire interviews or just parts and how I can build tension in the documentary.
- 7. What aspects ofthe research will you include within your production work? I will include parts of the 1st , 3rd and fourth as I will not include parts of the second product I researched as it would not be appropriate for this style of documentary as it appeals to a much older and specific audience as mine can range between a wider range as it is not aimed at specific people because of the nature of the documentary as a meaning which could appeal to all ages but since mine is an audio project and not much of the youth listen to it as audio podcast/documentaries are mainly listened to 35 and older according to BBC sounds. From the 1st product I researched I will like to include the idea of there being constant sound throughout the project as it helps keep the audiences concentration on the audio and can help my project appeals to a younger audience. From the 3rd documentary I may include he idea of involving the full interview which helps the audience follow the questions and sees the development in the answers as the question tend to start off easy then as they progressively try to push the guest being interviewed it builds tension for the audience. I will take parts of the 4th product that was researched as it uses sound in the background to build tension like a horror film as the sound gets progressively louder it help the audience understand what situation the interviewer although I will not be interviewing dangerous individuals but I may fabricate a situation where a guest gets progressively angrier as the interview goes on.

- 9. Secondary Audience research Myproduct will appeal to this audience due to BBC sounds audience mainly being a group of teenagers up to 35 year olds which is a big gap of ages which I need to appeal to so it is more likely that my product will appeal to either the teens or to young adults but the off chance that I cannot appeal to them audiences I now know how to slightly change the layout and style of my audio project to appeal to the older audiences.

- #22 Undertaking practical research is another great way to improve your project. Experimenting with techniques, equipment and processes you might want to use in you project will help you plan for the future. Think about what you will research. It could be studio photography, or sound recording, or post-production techniques for video or animation techniques for a video game. Tutorials are useful here. Make something similar but unrelated to your chosen idea. Do not make it a version of your final product; it is an experiment Provide a reflection of the processes you used and how it has been useful. Don’t do something that you already know how to do.
