Final Documentary!!

After many changes we as a group altered the documentary according to the feedback given previously by our teacher and things we hadn't done. We addressed the problems that had occurred with the subtitles and now its a lot easy to understand and the writing is really clear and bold. In the feedback people also talked about the silence towards the beginning which has now changed and we have now put in an African piece that I composed in order to make this section sound a little lively rather than silent throughout. Rather than ending the documentary with a guy rowing we decided to cut that out because no body actually understood who the rower guy was and, why he was there and so it looked really random so instead we added a strong quote to talk to our target audience and people in general. 

Our 1st Draft of 'The Pursuit'

As it's the 1st draft I have highlighted problem which need to be addressed and are in process of being sorted out:

• The subtitles - They happen to fast which makes it difficult to see and I have tried to address this by researching ways to make it crisp however the tutorials seem to show the same things but I haven't given up and have been trying new ways to make it look really good and in time.  at the moment I have just tried to make the subtitles a little slower
• Voiceover - This has already been recorded we just need to add it unto the documentary and from there we will be pretty much done and will focus a lot on the subtitles because it is a problem that i have been struggling with.
• Background noise: there was a few backing noises which meant that there are certain things that are not heard properly and my team are trying to address but we have come onto a slight problem where when we dim the background noise some of the noise necessary seems to muffle and we need to try and create that balance.
• Sound- there is a moment where we integrate a song into Aristote's interview to show that change from Kinshasa to London however the song seems to come on a little earlier than expected but we have now fixed that problem and the song comes at the specific time and into the London shots when the beat drops.

My Radio Ad

My radio similar to the exemplar radio ads tries to get my target audience into watching the documentary. It first begins with my voice asking a simple rhetorical question followed by some footage taken from the documentary where people define success using one word and already you can understand what message I am trying to perceive. From starting with a rhetorical question it also gets the audience to consider what success is in one word showing that this documentary is for everyone because everyone dreams to be successful in their live. Whilst there is samples of things from the documentary music begins to appear which is quite African to show that the documentary focuses a lot on Kinshasa which is stated in the voiceover a few seconds later: "the pursuit takes us on a journey from Kinshasa to London". The beat then drops and there is a build up where the information is given about when the documentary will be on and what times. The voiceover which is sounds professional in the radio ad then changes into a African accent to show that contrast between Kinshasa and London which is then echoed throughout so it resonates into the audiences mind.
