Informative- From our classroom feedback we had
4 people that answered with 4 and the other 4 people answered with 5, this allowed our group to know that our production is informative as No one rated our production lower than a four and we got good ratings for the information that is given out in the production.
Engaging- Our classroom feedback showed us that our production was engaging to most of our audience as four people rated our production with a 4 and three people rated it with a 5 and there was only one person who rated us with a 3.

For this answers all the feedback from our audience shows us that our title does relate to the content within the documentary. All 8 of the Audience chose to give us a yes for this answer.

3. How did you find the technical quality?
We asked our audience about how they thought the technical quality of our production was and here are the answers:
Sound-
Five members of the audience rated our sound quality as a 4 and the other three answered with a 5, this shows that are sound quality isn’t bad as we
scored over half marks from the audience.
Editing- Four members of the audience decided to give us a 4 on the editing of the documentary and the other 4 chose to rate us with a 5.

We have many different parts of the interviews in the radio advert therefore we have many different emotions being brought into the advert.

We uploaded our documentay onto facebook to widen the feedback we get. this is some of the feedback we got.

"Music relates well to the topic of documentary.
Photos used well with voiceover.
Good use of cutaways and interviews.
The sped up section worked well and effective."

"I like the way you dont know what it is about at first because of the voxpops, the interviews are good because its interesting to hear from a specialist and someone who suffers from hair loss. all the cutaways suited the documentary and where used appropriately and the voiceover suited the topic, as did the music."

"really like the vox pops and the title sequence
the graphics for each interviewee is really good with the picture next to it. like the way the pictures that appear, appear when the interviewee starts talking about it. the music doesnt draw your attention away from the interview either. really good :-)"

Drafting News paper advert

Drafting News paper advert

























































When designing the print add wewanted to creat a divide of the girls face and hair. Showing one side is happy with hair and the other isnt without hair, it was difficult to make one side of the girls hair look like it isnt there however the shots which are closer up in editing looked better and more realistic that there is less hair on one side. We tryed her doing different expression, different poses and her doing differen things with her hair extensions, there was a number of good shot which were good but some looked like an advert
for make up rather than an advert for a hair documentary. To create the writing on the print add i took different screen grabs of the writing on the channel for website to make the print add look more aurthentic, this was hard work but i think that it has paid and looks like an actual channel 4 advertisment
We took several images of a girl pulling her hair out and some of her holding her hair. we felt this would be a good idea to make it seem as though she is pulling her hair out, this is because out documentary includes a section on tricotillamania.
















News paper advert













We used the channel4 logo we got from the internet and edited it into the image. We changed the colour of the image to give it a more serious look because it was to light for the content of the documentary.

Radio Trailer Recording and Editing

Radio Studio: We used the radio studio to let us record our voice over for the documentary and the radio advert. Using the radio studio to do this instead of a voice recorder allowed us to make the voice sound more clearer as a voice recorder picks up every bit of movement that happens and tends to echo so being in the radio studio made sure we were isolated from any other sound and made it sound much better quality

For our radio advert we wanted to include sections from out documentary. Adobe Audition: We used Adobe audition to produce our radio advert, this allowed us to cut the sections we want out of the actual production and let us change the sound levels so they all link together. Some sound leveles where much lower than others so the sound had to be changed to that the radio advert's sound was equal.

















































Scripting the radio trailer

For our radio trailer we decided to take sections from our documentary and put it into the trailer we included a voiceover where the name of the documentary was given and the time, date and channle it was being aired.



This is the script to out radio trailer.


Vox pops
Voice over 'Hair, Billions of pounds are spent cutting it, cleaning it and making it perfect. But what if you didn’t have it?'
Part of the interview with the Trichologist
Part of the interview with Hair loss sufferer
Voice over ‘What’s your style? Hair, you either have it or you don't. Thursday at 9 on 4'

Voice over recording

our audience feedback from our questionnaire we conducted, most people wanted to hear a women voiceover in a documentary and because of our target age .... we chose a girl who was in that target range. This voiceover is played when a collage of celebrities appear on the screen, this also links to the voiceover which follows.

When we recorded the voiceover we used the radio studio we did this because then the quality of the voiceover will be better than if we used a dictaphone. Once this was done we added the voiceover into our work we had already done in Adobe Premier here we edited the voiceover and added it were we needed it

Scripting voice over

To go with the documentary we had to record a voice over. this is the script for out voice over.

Celebrity collage voiceover:

We spend billions of pound a year on hair, to look after our hair, keep up with hair fashions or to recreate our favourtie celebrities' looks. Many people admire celebrity hair styles and men are no exception Actor Patrick Dempsey was chosen the male celebrity with the most wanted hair for men. Also when out nation's sweetheart, Cheryl Cole, dyed her hair red, red bos dyes flew of the shelves, but would we want these celebrity styles if they didnt have any hair at all?

Trichologist

Some people unfortunately suffer from hair loss caused by stress, fungal infections, certain medicines, hair loss can also be caused be a serious operation or pregnancy and some have a serious case called tricholillomania whihc is the compulsive urge to pull out their own hair. It is recognized as a disorder leading to noticable hair loss, distres, and social or functional impairment. It is often chronic and dificult to treat.

Hairdresser Information

When it comes to happiness at work, hairdressers are a cut above therest. Hairdresser are the happiest worker in the UK, with two out of five syaing they are very content in their job. Clitens appreciate them because they make people feel good and look good, Hairdresser also have he opportunity to be theri own bosses. Part of their happiness in work is making clients happy with how hairdressers make them feel.

These were all the original scripts for the voice overs in our documentary however we had to cut them down to fit the size of the cut aways between interviews to link them together.

Editing

For our documentary we desided to create one on hair. To edit our documentary we used adobe premier pro, we captured the documentary then began to edit. this was a difficult part of the process this is because it was very time consuming. the images below are screen shots of the porcess we went through.

After the questions were edited out of the interview we had to choose cutaways which would fit in with the answers from the interviewee. These cutaways were also able to hide jumps between the answers, when choosing these cutaways we found footage for our trichologist interview from an embarassing bodies programme on tricholomania. However we had to write a letter to see if we could use this footage:
Channel 4,
I am a media student from Weatherhead Media Arts college in Wirral. I am in my second year of my media course and am producing a Documentry about Hair.
I am writing to you to ask for permission to use a section of "Embarressing Bodies" as archive footage within my documentry.
If possible could you please reply with your answer.
Thankyou.
Also after all the editing of the interviews and all the cutways were in the interviews, we recorded a voiceover to fit in with the documentary. We used the ice radio studio to do this,We used these interviews to introduce the documentary and to change subject from hair loss to being a hairdressers.
