The group used this structure to guide their documentary on cuts to the UK's Education Maintenance Allowance, opening with news reports of student protests and using interviews and statistics.
Q5 conventions
The document discusses a student media project called "Stalk" that was created to conform to the thriller genre. Stalk builds suspense from the start by showing the protagonist running away from an unseen pursuer. Tension is built through diegetic sounds like gunshots and non-diegetic background music. Research of similar thriller films helped inform the opening scene. While the product has no dialogue, the background music allows the audience to understand what is happening and engage with the story. Pleonastic sounds like a heartbeat contrast with the credits to show the protagonist is scared. The goal was to engage and entertain the audience through realistic conventions of the thriller genre.

Main task evaluation
Our group chose to do a crime genre film for our main task media project. We decided to challenge conventions by having a young female victim who was obeying the law, to subvert expectations and raise awareness. The victim is drunk, increasing her vulnerability. We represented youth through stereotypes of technology and alcohol use seen in other media. Our attacker wears a hoodie to create mystery and put viewers in the victim's perspective. Based on our research of crime dramas shown on ITV, we think ITV would be a suitable channel to describe our film to our target audience of 16-45 year olds.

Question 1 evaluation
Our media product challenges some conventions while adhering to others. We produced a 5-minute documentary on tattoo discrimination that follows an expository mode. It includes interviews, facts, and archival footage but no reconstructions. For promotion, we created a radio trailer featuring clips from the documentary and a double-page magazine spread in the style of Radio Times. While meeting conventions for time length and elements, the trailer and spread tweak conventions by excluding additional images and graphics. Overall, the goal was to inform viewers on our topic while mirroring real media forms.

The student conducted research on documentary forms and conventions before creating their own documentary extract. They looked at examples like propaganda films from WWII and modern documentaries. Key forms and conventions they explored included voice-overs, interviews, archival footage, reconstructions, and montages. For their own extract, they incorporated interviews and archival footage to make it more conventional while also challenging conventions with an animated talking head. They created ancillary products for a magazine and poster that matched the theme of their extract. Audience feedback praised aspects they didn't expect and identified areas for improvement like limiting unused footage.

Editing
We edited a documentary about smartphones using Adobe Premiere Pro. We imported photos and video clips, overlapped them with the interview footage by dragging them above the interview in the timeline. We added an opening title in big white letters on a black background. The timeline shows the interview, cutaways, and music we used, which we had to move around to fit without blanks. We cut out questions from the interview footage and downloaded and cut the song "Telephone" to fit. We also practiced adding graphics by typing text and dragging it above video clips.

Q1
- 1. Q1.
- 2. The start By watching professional documentaries at the start of the course, this gave us a clear understanding of how to communicate the codes and conventions though our own products. We watched; ‘The Devil Made Me do It’, ‘The Music Biz: Meatloaf’ and ‘That Thing: Laura Croft’. We also went away watched and analysed some other documentaries of our own, so that we had a much accurate idea of what the codes and conventions were.
- 3. Type Of Documentary Our documentary was a mixed as it uses a combination of; interviews, observation, achieve material and graphics. All of our interviews were observational, as the interviewee would look at the person asking the questions rather than the camera, making it look as if the camera was not there. Also we used achieve material from the film; ‘Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory’ intending to add variety and depth to our product. We also viewed that many other documentaries used achieve footage, and they also used observation. We also had a narrator known as the voice of god, as you cannot see them, but they explain what is happening in important parts of the documentary.
- 4. Theme Are documentary’s main focus was confectionary , however we also added conflict into our product, to show the different effects sweets can have on you. This was used in documentaries such as ‘The devil made me do it’, as the documentary was about how Marilyn Manson's influenced young teenagers, through his violent actions towards god and his music.
