The document summarizes the research Oscar Gibb conducted on existing audio documentary products to inform the production of their own documentary. It discusses four existing products analyzed: 1) James Veitch's comedy audio show which helped understand how to keep listeners engaged through constant sound; 2) a documentary on Brexit which showed how to appeal to older audiences; 3) Louis Theroux documentaries which provided insight into interview structure and tension-building; and 4) Ross Kemp documentaries that use intense music to create tension. Key aspects to be included are constant background sound to engage younger audiences, incorporating full interviews, and using sound design to build tension. However, the concept has now changed to a documentary focused on Market Weighton due to difficulties securing interviews
The document discusses research Oscar Gibb conducted on existing audio products to inform their own audio documentary project. They analyzed comedic interview show "Contractual Obligation" to understand how to keep listeners engaged without pauses. They also examined a formal Brexit documentary to learn how to appeal to older audiences. Louis Theroux and Ross Kemp documentaries were researched to understand interview styles and using sound effects to build tension. Gibb plans to incorporate constant background sound, full interviews, and building tension with sound in their own production to appeal to younger audiences. Audience research on the BBC Sounds platform will also help tailor the project.
This document discusses potential ideas for a short documentary film. The first idea is to interview Catholic nuns in modern England to understand what their lives are like now compared to historically when they played a larger role in society. Old photographs and found footage would be used to illustrate the past, with interviews providing context. The second idea is to examine the Catholic church in 2018 England and discuss controversial modern issues like LGBTQ+ rights, abortion, and women's rights to understand the church's stances and how they may be changing with the times. Illustrations, interviews, and location footage would be incorporated into either documentary.
This document discusses the purpose, codes, and conventions of the documentary "Benefits Street." It analyzes several still shots from the documentary. It discusses how the shots aim to shock, inform, and raise awareness about life on benefits. It also examines the documentary's use of interviews, handheld camera footage, background footage, observational and expository modes, and circular/open narrative structures. The document reflects on what was learned about documentaries, including editing techniques, archival footage, and interviewing experts. It considers which documentary elements would be employed for a documentary on drinking, such as vox pops, archival footage, narration, and professional interviews.
- A focus group of 10-15 students aged 16-18 at a college watched a documentary and filled out a questionnaire to provide feedback.
- The focus group enjoyed watching the documentary and found it informative, entertaining, and well-edited.
- However, some commented that some interviews and vox pops were too quiet and difficult to hear.
- Based on the feedback, the documentary successfully educated and informed viewers about its topic, but the producers need to adjust audio levels on some parts before finalizing it.

Q3: What have I learnt from my audience FeedbackTasnim Mahdy
The document provides feedback from various people on a documentary film. Key points included:
- Many encouraged the film and its message of supporting revolution and opposing mass murderers. However, one person disagreed with not interviewing a controversial commentator.
- The film reviewer wanted less text and a stronger opening. He was unsure about a line stating the film requires an open mind.
- Feedback on improving sound bridges between clips and adding footage behind quotes instead of plain backgrounds.
- Recommendations to minimize a particular editing technique, simplify typography, and add context on the four pillars of hip hop.
The document discusses how the media producer's documentary uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real documentaries. Some ways mentioned are using a younger male voiceover instead of the typical older male voice, focusing on a subject relevant to younger audiences, including interviews that show expressions of both people interviewed rather than focusing on one, and using voiceover over archive footage where normal conventions would not. Background noise during interviews is identified as an area that could be improved.
Survey Monkey was used to create an online survey about a student film project. It provided percentages of responses for each answer. Facebook and blogs were also used to promote the film and survey.

This evaluation template is designed to help students evaluate their projects at a UK university. It includes sections for outlining the project, personal reflection, evaluation, analysis, and an action plan. For a true crime documentary on the Gucci family murder, the student learned to plan ahead more and choose subjects they have more experience with. While the vintage aesthetic and interview worked well, the fast pace was negative. Feedback was better than expected. Going forward, the student will use better equipment and plan projects in more detail.
The document discusses a student's television documentary project on binge drinking among young people.
The student researched documentary conventions by watching many examples. The opening 5 minutes of their documentary uses an expositional style with narrative, voiceover, and facts/statistics to set the tone and guide viewers.
Interviews and sound are used conventionally, with professional lighting and positioning. Some conventions like reconstructions are avoided as unnecessary. Overall the documentary effectively uses many real documentary codes and conventions while challenging a few that do not fit its topic or audience.
The document summarizes and compares the speaker's school radio news bulletin to one produced by Oldham Community Radio. Some key points:
1) Both used upbeat jingles and introduced the news, but the community radio presenter's introduction was more serious in tone.
2) Both followed the inverted pyramid structure in their stories and used the 5W's.
3) The community radio presenter spoke more formally and clearly while maintaining the recommended words-per-minute, while the student presenter spoke somewhat faster and less clearly as a less experienced presenter.
4) Stories in the student's bulletin were more locally focused on Oldham, while the community radio stories had a national scope
The document discusses how the media product followed conventions of real documentaries and radio/magazine products. It analyzed documentaries like "Supersize Me" and "Panorama" to understand typical shots, structure, and storytelling techniques. The documentary was influenced by the expository and poetic modes of Bill Nicholls' documentary theory. The radio trailer and magazine article utilized conventions like clear voiceovers, background music, facts/details about the documentary, and advertising the channel/air time to effectively promote the media product. Some conventions like statistics were challenged to better engage the target youth audience.
The document summarizes feedback received from an audience survey about a documentary. 15 people provided feedback on the introduction length, audio syncing, use of multiple interview perspectives, background music volume, camera techniques, a narrative photo section, advertising format, and color scheme.

Our documentary focused on healthy eating and exercise among teenagers. We analyzed existing documentaries like "Supersize Me" for their conventions. Our documentary used elements of observational and expository modes, with a voiceover narrator and formal interviews. We filmed interviews in a style similar to "Supersize Me" but used background music at a low level so the voiceover could still be heard clearly.
- The focus group enjoyed the poster and thought the title "Fatual" was clever. They liked the burger image and use of newspaper.
- They suggested utilizing the tagline more in other products to improve brand identity.
- The group felt the radio advert was effective despite sound not being visual. They enjoyed the opening montage but thought it could have a gap.
- The documentary lacked the cinematic style of the other products, so the brand consistency was not as strong. The group provided useful feedback to improve cohesion across the campaign.
The document discusses potential ideas for a factual documentary series pilot. It summarizes existing documentary products that provide inspiration, including A Place Like This which uses contrasting cinematography and subject matter. It also discusses the mellow song "Ivory Black" as potential background music. The research identifies three initial ideas: interviewing an ambassador about her life experiences; focusing on the history of an overlooked product or entity; or a reality-style pilot following an interesting individual or group.
Here is the daily reflection for stage 2 of production:
In this stage, I focused on recording the audio. I found an actor who was able to come into the studio and record the script for me. Having a clear, well-written script was crucial for this stage so that the recording went smoothly.
Recording took a few takes to get right. We had to stop and re-record parts where the actor stumbled over words or the delivery wasn't quite right. But with each take, the performance improved.
Getting the right atmosphere and tone in the recording was important. We had to do multiple recordings to find the right balance - not too slow or too fast paced. Background noise in the studio also presented a challenge
This document analyzes the responses to a documentary questionnaire from 20 people. It summarizes their answers to gauge what type and style of documentary would appeal most to viewers. The responses showed a preference for observational documentaries with some factual voiceovers, like 24 Hours in A&E, over purely voiceover or reflective styles. Music was preferred over ambient sounds. Long shots along with varied camera angles that set the scene were favored. The document informed the creator's decisions to make an observational documentary on a meaningful topic that elicits emotion, uses subtle background music, and includes different shots and scenery.
The document discusses the student's media product which follows conventions of film noir genre but modernizes the opening scene. It developed conventions by using modern dialogue and music instead of a voiceover. It challenged conventions by using upbeat music contrasting the thriller genre and having the female character portrayed as dominant rather than male characters. Feedback from audiences praised the opening scene but felt the rest lost significance and needed improved planning, sound, and continuity. The student learned they should have gained more feedback earlier in the process to improve the overall product.
Here are a few key observations and insights from analyzing the audience research:
- The target audience based on the responses skews older, with over half being aged 20+. This aligns well with focusing on Brexit which appeals more to older demographics.
- There is a fairly even split between male and female respondents, showing interest from both genders in the political topic. Brexit affects everyone.
- Most respondents indicated they value interesting questions over other production elements like sound effects or music. This suggests focusing on thought-provoking questions will best engage the audience.
- Good interviewing skills was also important to around a third of respondents. Incorporating insightful interviews will add credibility and perspective.
Overall, the research
The document discusses Louis Theroux's documentary style of immersing himself with subjects for a few days to gain insight into their lives. It focuses on his episode with a neo-Nazi family. The author believes this style allows for a more impartial and natural representation compared to talking head interviews.

Oscar Gibb evaluates his production process for an audio documentary about Market Weighton. His research strengths included exploring different documentary and audio play formats which informed his project layout. However, he did not allocate enough time to in-depth subject research. His planning was inconsistent due to changing his idea late, making his initial plans and script unusable. While he completed his work on time, additional time would have allowed for improvements to research, planning, and production quality.
The document summarizes the research Oscar Gibb conducted on existing audio documentary products to inform the development of their own audio documentary project. It discusses four existing products that were analyzed: 1) James Veitch's comedy audio show which helped understand how to keep listeners engaged through constant sound; 2) a documentary on Brexit which showed how to appeal to older audiences; 3) Louis Theroux documentaries which provided insights into interview structure and tension-building; and 4) Ross Kemp documentaries that use intense music to create tension. The research found that incorporating constant background sound, full interviews, and tension-building music could help make the project appealing to younger audiences while informing the questions and tone. Aspects from the first, third,
Oscar Gibb is developing an audio documentary project based on Market Weighton, a small town in England. His initial idea was to interview "odd" people in the town, but after revising his mood board, he decided to make it a more serious radio show documentary about issues in the entire town. The mood board influenced his project by helping him narrow his focus and decide what research and questions were needed. Key influences on his project include the Joe Rogan podcast for allowing different opinions to be shared, A Christmas Carol for having a storyline of personal growth, and a Conor McGregor documentary for its behind-the-scenes perspective and story alignment.
This document outlines key influences on Oscar Gibb's planned documentary project. It will take the form of a "fake documentary" interviewing "odd" people in the town of Market Weighton. The mood board provides inspiration, focusing the project on issues in the town. Key influences include the Joe Rogan podcast for interviewing a variety of subjects, A Christmas Carol for the character's storyline of changing views, and a Conor McGregor documentary for showing intriguing behind-the-scenes details. The final product will ask questions on local topics to elicit interesting responses and contrasting viewpoints from different demographics.

The document outlines the pre-production steps for an audio documentary project. It will focus on "odd" people in society like train spotters and give insight into their lives. The target audience is older generations who listen to radio and audio. Pre-production tasks include determining sound effects, drafting a script and interview questions. Resources needed are a phone, car, home appliances and locations like an empty house. Contingency plans address issues like uninteresting interviews or technical problems. A production schedule allocates days for recording, editing and finishing the project.
This proposal outlines a student's audio documentary project about the town of Market Weighton. The student will create a multi-episode documentary series allowing rural residents to share their experiences and perspectives. Skills gained from previous projects, like refined audio editing, will be applied. Originally conceived as a regular documentary, the concept changed to focus more on interviews than a script. The project will be evaluated through self-assessment, peer review, and input from tutors on the editing quality. Tasks over the coming weeks include further research, planning, recording interviews and sounds, editing the audio together, and a final evaluation.
This proposal outlines Oscar Fred Gibb's audio documentary project. The project will document strange individuals in the town of Market Weighton, including train spotters and adult football players. Gibb will interview both real people and fictional characters to tell a story about a presenter who changes his views after making the documentary. Over 9 weeks, Gibb will research subjects, conduct interviews, record sound, edit audio, and evaluate the final product. The goal is to create a higher quality audio project using skills developed in previous work.
This document outlines the initial plans and key influences for Oscar Gibb's pre-proposal project. It will be a fake documentary interviewing "odd" people in the small town of Market Weighton to showcase a presenter's journey and change in perspective. The mood board and influences, including the podcast of Joe Rogan, the story of A Christmas Carol, and a documentary on Conor McGregor, will help shape the project to be entertaining while addressing issues like bullying and helping listeners understand different interests. Interviews will explore topics like trainspotting and amateur football to demonstrate how meeting different people can influence attitudes.
Oscar Gibb is proposing an audio project titled "An insight into Weighton's minds". The project will be a fake documentary interviewing eccentric individuals in the town of Market Weighton such as train spotters. The narrator will begin with prejudices against such people but will change his views after learning their perspectives. Gibb will research the town and individuals to develop thoughtful interview questions. He will critically evaluate his work on storytelling effectiveness and editing quality while also highlighting strengths. References like the Joe Rogan podcast and A Christmas Carol will influence the project's exploration of overcoming biases through exposure to different lives.

Oscar Fred Gibb proposes an audio documentary project about strange individuals in the town of Market Weighton. He will interview people with unusual hobbies like train spotters and Sunday football players. The documentary will give insight into why these people pursue their interests. Gibb will also interview fake people to advance a story about a presenter who alters his views after making the documentary. Over nine weeks, Gibb will research subjects, conduct interviews, record sound, edit audio, and evaluate his final product. He believes his improved skills from past projects will allow him to create a better audio documentary.
Oscar Gibb is creating an initial pre-proposal and mood board for a documentary project. The mood board contains images related to "odd" people that will be interviewed in the small town of Market Weighton. These interviews will help develop the storyline of a presenter's journey creating a fake documentary. The mood board is meant to inspire an entertaining documentary that gives insight into different people's interests. Key influences on the project include the style of Joe Rogan's podcast in interviewing a wide range of guests, the story of A Scrooge Christmas Carol in how the main character changes his views, and a documentary on Conor McGregor in how it portrayed his lifestyle and training.
Oscar Gibb evaluated his magazine design project. His research involved studying sport magazines like Match of the Day and Four Four Two to help design a magazine that would appeal to both male and female audiences. For planning, Oscar drew on his experience creating a similar magazine project previously. His time management improved from past projects as he caught up after being ill. Oscar aimed to create a magazine with a more formal style than Match of the Day to appeal to older kids, combining elements of Match of the Day and Four Four Two. He used new Photoshop tools to improve the aesthetic qualities and felt it effectively targeted his intended teenage audience.
The document describes the process used to create elements for the front cover and a double page spread of a magazine. For the front cover, the creator used blending tools to eliminate lines around an image and designed a badge in Photoshop. For the double page spread, the creator developed the spread as a single large image in Photoshop using guidelines and text boxes to guide text around images. Hexagons in the magazine's color scheme were placed and duplicated at 50% opacity to form the background.
The document provides an evaluation of the student's game design project. It summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of the student's research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aural qualities, aesthetic qualities, and audience appeal for the project. The research focused on combat games like Street Fighter and UFC, with consistent research across 4 games. Planning was efficient but basic, restricting creativity. Time management was average but fell behind due to illness. The technical qualities like smoothness could be improved. There was basic audio but no sound effects. The aesthetics looked good due to Photoshop skills but kicks could be smoother. The combat game concept appeals to its teenage target audience.
The document provides details for the pre-production of a football club magazine. It discusses using green and yellow colors to match the team's kits and choosing a blue text color to provide contrast from a potentially bright background. Potential issues and solutions are outlined, such as taking photos ahead of time if images are lacking and saving work frequently to avoid losing files. Health and safety concerns like eye strain, electrocution, and posture are also addressed.
The document describes experiments for designing a magazine cover and double-page spread for a Sunday football league team. For the cover, the designer created a template matching the team's yellow and green color scheme and included promotional elements from magazines to attract younger audiences. For the double-page spread, a basic template was made with an image and introduction about the team to resemble one page of a magazine. The designer plans to refine the designs while keeping their general concepts and templates for the final product.
This proposal outlines a Match of the Day style magazine for a fictional Sunday league football team called the Dringhouse Dragons. The intended audience is male youth ages 8 to 16. While mainly appealing to boys interested in football, the magazine will also cover the women's team to include female readers.
The concept is for a comical magazine that parodies how Sunday league players often take themselves too seriously. Research will examine existing Sunday league team websites and Match of the Day magazines for inspiration. This humorous approach differentiates the magazine from typical football publications.
Planning for the evaluation focuses on assessing each project stage to improve time management, as past evaluations lacked detail and were late.

2. Existing Product-James Veitch’s
contractual obligation
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 Brexit Prime
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
I decided 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
I decided 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 features do 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 of the 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.
8. • Due to problems with getting interviews and with time issues my idea has changed to a
documentary based on Market Weighton as it will make my project easier to create as I will
not have to a write a full script for the entire product and can rely on the real interviews as it
will help with my time management as it will be quicker to write up a set of questions and
not a script of questions and answers and other segments like a show, also the problem with
my old idea was that scripting an interview can come across quite fake and not natural which
would be a large problem in a mockumentary.
10. Secondary Audience research
My product 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 as these
results infer that the average is much higher than my target audience which means I will have to create a
product which can appeal to BBC Sounds average viewers as they are most likely to be interested in listening to
the product. The reason I am more likely to believe a survey created by the BBC is that it’s the largest
broadcasting company in the UK and so their research would be more secure and reliable compared to a small
website making a survey of 10 people on the audience.
11. Secondary Audience research
This audience survey was created by RAJAR which is a professional website based only on audiences for the
BBC and many other UK broadcasters as this survey specifies the entire of radio (compared to the last survey I
researched which was focused on BBC Sounds) and so the survey is much broader and so it reads into less
detail and helps shape how I will make my product as now I can see which audio products are appealing
towards which audience as this survey says that the youth are consuming more radio than the rest as
everywhere else says that the older generation are listening to audio documentaries etc. as these differences
are reliant on the change in survey as the older generation listens to BBC Sounds although the younger
generation consume the most radio/audio and this is due to digital radio and music streaming.
12. Secondary Audience research
In this survey that I researched it makes it easier to understand the difference what genres work with what
style of radio as podcasts are better for factual entertainment whereas current based events are evidentially
better on radio where it can be broadcasted live as a podcast has the time to do research for a documentary
etc. In this case the survey suggests to me that a podcast styled documentary would be the best idea as more
people prefer a podcast for most things that would link into what a documentary can provide the audience as it
is not news based so it doesn't reply on releasing information as soon as possible where as he radio which is
used to report news obviously need to releases information as soon as possible.
13. Subject Research
In this piece of subject research I decided that I need to understand more about the people I
will be interviewing so I went to the local radio stations website to see the profiles of each
person as I need to do background checks on them for when I have to interview one of them I
can ask a mix of personal questions creating a good interview. This website also helped me
understand how I could contact the radio and to presenters as well as being able to understand
the presenters motives for the radio and what type of music it plays due to the information on
the website as well as it being a local radio station aimed at an older generation that
14. Subject Research
In this piece of subject research I decided that I needed to research into the little town that the
area is based around and so I researched into Market Weighton and into situations within
Market Weighton as my back up as if my idea cannot be executed I can a slightly change my
questions in the interviews and make them more generic and about Market Weighton as a
whole place instead of “odd” people from the area I can make it about Market Weightons
problems in general.
15. Subject Research
In this piece of subject research I decided that I needed to research into the local political
situation as a back up for my interview questions etc. as if I am going to have to change my
project idea to a documentary about Market Weighton as a whole as it could still make for an
entertaining documentary that can be less scripted allowing me to create a documentary
which focuses mainly on the interview aspect of it and doesn't involve any parts that can be
seen as fakes etc.
17. Practical Research
In this experiment I had attempted to improve the sound as I originally made the
piece of audio too quiet and so I experimented with the sound quality and how high
it can go and how to make the sound quieter if I need to as this will also help me
learn how to fade as well. I thought I should focus on learning how to change sound
levels as the luck that all of my sound effects are the exact same level as its highly
likely one sound effect is noticeably louder or quieter so it is useful in the editing
process to be able to change the sound levels to balance the sound effects out.
18. Practical Research
In this experiment I decided to use the noise reduction tool to help me
understand different tools to mess around with sound and audio quality as
before I was just learning from the regular audio effects but instead I used the
noise reduction tool to try and reduce noise levels efficiently as it will help me if
the problem occurs of some audio pieces being too loud as the tool could help
me bring the noise down slightly but in this experiment the tool was not
efficient enough as it could not decrease the sound to a distinctive point as it
was always very in decisive.
19. Practical Research
In this experiment I decided to test the audio recorders as they are one of
the main ways I can record my entire project and from the experiments
they are much harder to use than some other pieces of equipment due to
there being too many configurations and levels as it is too hard to
understand compared to other plug in microphones etc.in this experiment
I could not use the sound recorders due to not understanding how they
work and seeing as i had an alternate way of recording which is much
easier I would rather use my plug in microphone.
20. Practical Research
In this experiment I tested my plug in microphone and added
it next to a piece of audio I recorded with a college provided
audio recorder, in this experiment I discovered that the plug-
in microphone is higher quality audio and much easier to use
than the recorders as the volume of the recorders audio was
too quiet and not useful in anyway for my project if I used it
over the microphone.
21. Practical Research
In this experiment I attempted to get better at fading
my audio in and out between each cut as my interviews
will be a compilation of different sound clips and so
they may be at different volume levels and due to this
the transitions will sound like a mic buffering and make
the entire audio project poor quality
