Evaluation
1. 
A place for strangers is also clever i feel as its similar to my space's slogan 'a place for friends' that's another reason why i feel the slogan is very good.
If prezi doesn't work click this link http://prezi.com/f2wfryzyttuv/copy-of-question-4/ or copy it into the address bar.
Our framing follows the mixed documentaries convention also we have put the graphics in the bottom corners as i will show with a screen shot of our production against a screen shot from another proffessional production.
These two pictures show the framing the one on the right is from our production and the one on the left is from a proffessional production as you can see they both have there eyelines 1/3rd down the page looking into the space (talking space).

In regards to the the examples of print adverts i have struggled to find any print posters advertising documentarys so I just had too use examples of all print adverts by ITV to follow the and this was the only one i could find.

A place for strangers is also clever i feel as its similar to my space's slogan 'a place for friends' that's another reason why i feel the slogan is very good.
Also the print advert goes with the slogan as it shows a metaphor of how on-line someone could be stalking someone else and know one would care but if someone actually did that and put there hand on the other person then it would be seen as a crime. Soi i feel our print advert challenges people perception of the on-line world.

Dave liked how there was a music bed and it made it interesting.
Dave liked how there was a music bed and it made it interesting.
But he felt we needed a wider range of interviewees and thought we should of got someone else who was addicted to social networking.
Natalie thought that the theme was very good as it was relevant to the times we're in, but she felt we should of included the social network trailer as it shows how big social networking has become.
Again Hannah thought the theme was good, again as it was relevant.
She felt we should have used a wider range of websites because we seemed to centre the documentary on facebook.
She also found it quite annoying how in one of the interviews it cut out at the end and went into some archive footage.
In conclusion i feel that we hit the target audience we were looking for perfectly as 2 out of the 3 said the theme was relevant to them (young adults).
In hindsight of what i now know i feel i could of given the documentary a better feel in terms of the flow. Also i feel i could have used a wider range of websites and interviewees. But I stick with the theme as it was very good in aiming at our chosen audience.

Production Schedule
Television scheduling is orginised in several different catagories, starting at 12am and finishing after 24 hours. This then goes on to repeat itself on a daily basis. This helps the audience as they know what time the programmes they wish to watch are on, and can also understand the type of programme they are watching due to the time of the day. These catagories are:
-Early morning
-Daytime
-Prime time
-Late night
This scheduling of television programmes is vital as it gives each time a particular target audience, in which they can then orginise the programmes on. This increases the view ratings as the target audience can will then be aware of when particular programmes are on. I have discovered that the target audiences are:
- Early morning - workers
- Day time - housewives
- Prime time - everyone
- Night time - students
Between Prime time and Night time television the television is for an elder audience but still appropriete. After 9pm the scheduling is named 'watershed' this is when more mature programmes are scheduled usually involving an increase in violence, strong language and scenes of a sexual nature.
Not only are the target audiences catagorised into televison time scheduling, but also on each terrestrial channel.Channels can monitor the viewings at all times, which feeds information of which programmes are most popular on their channel and at what time. After research, i have found:
BBC1 aims at a middle aged/working class audience
whereas BBC2 aims at more educated audience, broadcasting shows such as documentaries.
ITV1 aims the working class society most popular at prime time.
Channel 4 has a target audience much younger, from adolescents to young adults, which has a large proportion of students.
yet i have found Channel 5 has been problematic trying to appeal to all audiences, which does not work, concluding in a low view rating.

diary
Day 1
Today we interviewed Lee at first we thought it was a quality piece of work but after looking at it further there was a problem it was at a slightly high angle and he was looking at the camera numerous times so we could not use it. We can not film him again as he has no spare time so we have lost an interview but luckily have another one lined up with Alistair Jardine. We have also filmed vox pops of people on computers.

We can not film him again as he has no spare time so we have lost an interview but luckily have another one lined up with Alistair Jardine. We have also filmed vox pops of people on computers.
Day 2
Today I filmed a couple of vox pops and 2 interviews. The first interview was with Meesha Spurr who was addicted to face book. The second interview was with Melanie Walsh who had a bad experience with Face book. I feel the framing was much improved from last time and has been a success.
Day 3
Today we filmed many more vox pops that will tie into our documentary. we also have archive footage to put into the documentary.
Day 4
We started editing today and i feel it has gone well as we have edited most of it we just need to put in some interviews and tie everything in.
day 5
Today we edited again and put the interviews in but we are unhappy with how it looks so in the next few days we are going to rearange it to satisfy how we thinki it should look.
Day 6,7 and 8
It is in the order we want it so we just have to fine tune it and embed the music underneath.
Day 9
The music has been put up and it sounds good as we have changed the sound so that you can hear everything over else.
Day 10
Today we finished the documentary. The final thing we've done is to make sure that all the framing is perfect by making sure the eyelines of the interviewees are 2/3rds of the way up the page.

Documentary Notes
Fly on the wall
Almost always observational, the cameras are left to record without interference.
Mixed
Mixed approach of interview observation and narrative and a range of arguments.
Most documentaries use this style and is what reporters use on the news.
This genre acknowledges the camera.
They usually speak directly at the film maker.
The documentary maker is talked to whilst being behind the camera.
Docudrama
They use reconstructions to show what happened.
Arguments and exposions are combined with a fictional narrative.
The story is based on fact.
At its best it is misleading at it's worst it's dangerous.
Docusoaps
It has been a phenomenon of recent years.
They can follow people in different jobs, positions in society.
There is a dispute about whether it should be classed as a documentary or not.
They are enormously popular and cheap to produce.

Filming Summary
For this piece of work it took a group to complete the task. The task was to interview somebody with a mobile phone. I asked the person multiple questions regarding mobile phones. While we were recording the person, we learnt various skills when in action, we learnt that we should always be interviewing the person and not moving the camera around the scene when they are talking. The interview took place in the college car park.

Evalution of the first documentary.
The documentary was filmed rather badly as there was no head space given and half there heads were cut out. Also I think the editing was bad as it was very jumpy and sometimes cut out halfway through a word. The graphics were rather poor as they had no backround and sound to them and they were static which looked very amature. There were no voice overs or archive footage which meant it was not a mixed documentary. The introduction i feel was good as it gave the audience a good idea as to what the documentary was going to be about. What I think was used well was thje cutaways as they came inbetween interviews and were relevant e.g someone answering a phone and this was good because of the low angle shot making them look big and dominant.

Formal proposal for documentary
Our documentary is based on social networking, this will investigate how these websites work, how popular they are in today’s society and open the audiences mind wether they are beneficial or negative. We will present these topics through evidence; hearing real experiences in interviews and stories in the media.
The documentary will be mixed, meaning we will include a large variety of media used to present social networking, including evidence, interviews, archive footage, narration and observation. This will all be presented through quite an informal style, so the audience will feel comfortable watching the documentary as they will feel they can relate to the narrator, and overall taking on the information we give them.
Due to the fact our documentary is about social networking, after research we realised this subject is most popular and important to teens. A large majority of the youth use websites such as ‘Facebook’ on a daily basis, so we have selected our target audience at 16-24. Having this target audience means the channel and scheduling is vital to gain the largest amount of viewers, to achieve the biggest possible impact from our documentary. After research, we found public of the age 16-24 usually watch television throughout the weekday nights and the most popular channel was ITV1, resulting in our documentary being shown at 9pm on ITV1 on a Monday night.
We needed to know as much information as possible about social networking not only on a wide scale but also in our own community, so we started our primary research. We began by creating a simple questionnaire to build knowledge on which networking websites were popular and what age range used which, so we asked a range of ages if they used social networking, if so how often, and after doing this we researched similar questions on the internet, here we could compare both results and calculate an overall average.
After gaining our basic knowledge on social networking, we were then able to accumulate this knowledge and explore in greater depth the pros and cons of networking and research in detail the impact it has on today’s society. To do this we interviewed parents, teens and IT technicians to see there own personal ideas and experiences towards social networking. We also developed our knowledge be using secondary research, here we looked into the presentation of social networking in the media, soaps and discovered some interesting stories on the news. By using the internet I could research into stories in which social networking has been life changing, involving websites such as "Match.com."
The documentary will open with several vox pops naming a variety of social networking sites by the public, who will be older and younger. This will show to the viewer exactly how social networking affects such a broad range of the public. Following this, the narrator will talk about how social networking has progressed over the years and how it has become such a big part of everyday life. In the middle section of our documentary it will be packed with information through interviews, narration and archive footage. This will explore in depth how social networking has affected lives individually and the viewer will also see peoples own personal opinions to networking. Towards the end we will throw in conflict by asking whether social networking is a negative concept, this will be emphasised with real stories from the media and a parents interview on their own bad experience. Although we will add this conflict, we will finish the documentary on an open ending, perhaps with a rhetorical question which will leave the viewer to conclude.
To present our observation of social networking we will include in our documentary;
• Interviews with parents/teens/teachers/general public and IT technicians
• Archive footage and images from the media and news
• Stories shown in soaps related to social networking
• Voice over from a younger adult
• Vox pops from a large selection of the public
Finally, to film out documentary there is a requirement on resources available to use. In the filming, we will be using;
• A camera
• Tripod
• Tape
Props that will be used in our documentary include;
