The document discusses the research and planning, construction, and tools used to create a documentary, print advertisement, and radio trailer on the topic of bowling. Planning involved researching bowling online and on YouTube, as well as researching interviews to understand film techniques. Word was used to plan scripts, proposals, and questionnaires. Premier Pro and Photoshop were the main software used to edit video and design graphics. Filming equipment like HD cameras, microphones, and tripods were needed to capture high quality footage. Blogger and other online platforms were used to organize work and present final products, while the internet provided crucial research resources.

1. RESEARCH AND
PLANNING

2. •

Our research started with researching out chosen topic
which was bowling. We went on the internet and found
out as much as we could about our topic including facts
and history of bowling.
We also went on you tube and searched bowling we did this
so we could maybe include certain clips into our
documentary for archive footage. All this research helped
us put our documentary together and made us feel
confident about bowling.
Researching different interviews made it easier to understand
how we should do our interviews for our documentaries we
realised how important the miser en scene was in the
background for example it had to be linked to the chosen
topic. We also found how you don’t hear the interviewer
ask the questions they are edited out. We included this in
our documentary.

3.  We used mostly used word to plan all of our work. We
used this for our voice over scripts, formal proposal,
running order, interview questions primary and
secondary research etc. Word was useful to keep all
my work organised and clear.
 We used Excel when producing questionnaire results
for example the first questionnaire I did before
making the documentary made me realise what I
needed to include into the documentary and what
would be a suitable target audience we gathered
this from the excel graphs as they were clear and
were easy to make conclusions from.

4. CONSTRUCTION

5. Computer
For all three of my products the computer has been the main
construction that has able me to make a five minute documentary
a print screen advert and radio trailer. I have used computers
since I was little and this has been no problem using them to make
my products. I felt very confident with using a computer and think
this has reflected my finished products.

6. Premier Pro
 We used this programme to edit our documentary and radio trailer on. This
programme was defiantly the most difficult programme that we used. I
feel like I got much better at using the programme as time went on but
there is still room for improvements. I think that this is an amazing
programme and we would have never been able to get our
documentary to such a high standard without this programme. The main
tool I used was the “cutting tool” as we used this when making the
documentary and radio trailer as it was the best and easiest way to crop
and edit the products very finely and precise.


7. Photoshop
 We used adobe Photoshop 2011 to make our print advert; this is the
programme which I am most confident with as I used it when I was in
year 12 when creating a music magazine. I feel very confident
about using this software as I am so familiar with it. I think that
without this software my print advert would not be at such a high
standard. We used different tools the main tool being the “magic
wand “tool as we had to crop pictures to the way that we wanted
them. Think helped us make our image as professional as possible.

8. Hd video camera dv

We had to film all our documentary with a HD video camera at first I was not confident with this as
I had never used one before but the more filming that we did the more confident I become.
They cameras became very easy to use and gave us great quality. If we had of used a
standard video camera our work would not have been anywhere near the standard that my
work is now. We used it to film all the cutaways making sure we had good angles making sure
the camera was in focus at all times. When doing the interviews we had to make sure that we
had the microphone connected to the interviewer and the video camera so that we had clear
sound making the interview as professional as possible. We also had to re film certain parts of
our filming process for example some of the interviews that we used when we came back to
the classroom and uploaded the interview on to the computer we realised that microphone
hadn’t work so we had to go back out and re film this interview. Some of the shots that we had
taken were far too dark even though our location “riverside bowling alley” had naturally very
dark lightening. So allot of the time when filming we had to use the bright light.

9. Blogger
Is the way in which we represent all our work. I have
used blogger since 2011 and find it very easy and
straight forward way to present my work through lots of
different work for example prezzi, slide share, YouTube.
Blogger has helped me to keep all my work organised
and a clear.

10. SLR cameras
 The SLR cameras are cameras. They are very professional
cameras and so made our productions very professional
and finished. We used the cameras for interview evidence
in our planning stages and for cut aways. I think I used this
camera to the best of its ability. These helped us construct
the research planning and evaluation stages.

11. Prezzi
 I have used prezzi for the past two years to
present my work. It is a very quick easy way to
produce lots of information. I find it a very
useful programme that has helped me
produce evaluation question.

12. Internet
 The internet has been one of our most powerful tools were we
have been able to find out all our information. We have used it
throughout the research, evaluation and planning stages. We
have used it to find out all the information on our chosen topic
including facts, statics, and history. We have also used it to be
able to present our work for example blogger we would not be
able to use blogger without the internet. It has been very helpful
when producing out final products it made sure that we had the
correct information.
