Final Newspaper Advert and Radio Advert

Final Documentary

Screenshots of Editing

For the end part of the documentary we added a fade out of the 'ghost' that appeared in film. I used the 'cross dissolve' video transition in the effects on premiere pro to make her fade out into end credits.

During the paranormal expert reviewing the footage I used cuts between some over-the-shoulder shots and medium shots of the people to break it up and make it more viewable. There is also some zooms in and out of the footage they are talking about to make the script more understandable. in editing I used the sound from filming infront of them all the way through and cut the picture so it linked well and didnt look too jumpy.

And then for the end credits I used 'default roll' title sequence. I wrote everyones names who we involved in the documentary and decided on layout and speed then added it after the fade out of the ghost.

Newspaper Advert

For my newspaper advert I used an establishing shot of the pub where we filmed. I layered it with a photo of the presenter looking intrigued to display the fact he wants to discover.

 I have been experimenting with different ways to layout the text. I have used the same font and colour for the title of the documentary as in the film to link them together. I have tried it in black and white to see which one stands out the strongest. As it is a documentary I think it should be done very clear and state facts straight up. I have shown the day, time, and channel that the programme would be on so that people that see the advert will clearly know where to watch it linking to the same stuff as on my radio advert.

Reviewing the ones I have uploaded I think the picture needs to be more dark and gloomy to relate to the genre of the documentary more and I think the text looks best bottom left with white text.

Update on filming process....

We have now filmed some more footage featuring our 'group' and a 'paranormal expert' we filmed this with a green light to emulate some of the 'night vision' we have seen in other ghost hunting documentarys. We have the paranormal expert leading the group through to hold the story together throughout the 'ghostly sightings'.

Now all we need to film are some bits to introduce the paranormal expert and to record the voiceovers to keep it flowing.

Radio Advert

For the other tasks I have to do along with the film I have choose to do the radio advert.
For this I used the presenter from the documentary to present the advert as well.
I tried to make the advert fit the genre of the documentary but reflecting think that it needs to specify the genre more. Instead of using music I used samples and sound effects to create the suspense and scary feeling, I think this worked but overall the genre needs to be more specific.
