Pet Questionaire Annalysis

Pets questionnaire analysis from eveblakemore

In conclusion, we have asked 30 people to complete our questionnaire, there were three boys and 27 girls which suggest more females are going to want to watch a documentary about pets. Over these 30 people 19 of them say they already watch documentaries and enjoy them. Channel 4 was the main channel that people would watch documentaries on as 8 out of 30 said this; this suggests that our pet’s documentary will be shown on channel 4. We asked if anyone would watch a documentary about pets and 22 out of the 30 said they would watch it, which suggests that the majority of people would watch our documentary about pets. Out of the people we interviewed 23 of them have pets which suggests most people are likely to have a pet even if its just a fish, this is hopeful with our documentary because people will enjoy hearing things about their pets that they might not have known about. We also asked what pets they liked and came up with this, 19 out of the 30 like dogs, 8 like fish, 12 like cats, 5 like tortoise, 4 like rabbits, horses and guinea pigs, 3 like snakes, lizards, chickens and hamsters and 2 like micro pigs, so we will try and include as many of these pets into our documentary. However we asked the question what pets don’t they like and it came up with this, 9 out of the 30 don't like cats, 5 don't like fish, 7 don't like dogs, 5 don't like spiders, 4 don't like snakes, 1 don't like frogs, snails, birds, mice and rats, and 2 like all pets, this suggests we will try and use a variety of pets. We also asked what music will be best suited and people thought that ‘who let the dogs out’ and ‘what's new pussy cat’.

Tv Scheduling

Tv scheduling

Inheritance

Inheritance is when you schedule a programme after a really popular one hoping to inherit some of the audience of the previous shop.

Pre echo

When you schedule a programme before a popular one hoping that people flick over earlier and catch the end

Hammocking

Place a programme between two popular ones

This theory doesn’t work as effectively as it used to, as now that remote controls have been invented people flick around onto different channels instead of just leaving the same channel on. Plus there are much more trailers on television because there are more channels.

T.v scheduling The schedule for each day can be broken down into clear segments. How would you categorise these segments? Due to the type of programme and the time that it is scheduled Who are the target audience for these segments? Earlier is- young children tv and adults. Middle is- teenagers and elderly people. Later is- adults and young adults What would you say are the most popular genres on television? Chat shows, news, soap operas, dramas and factual tv Who is the target audience of each terrestrial channel? Give examples of scheduled programmes to support your views? Channel 4- men- warship Itv1- woman- a mother’s son Bbc1- woman- accused Bbc2-old people- great Irish bake off Roughly what percentage of each channels schedules is taken up with repeats? Why do you think this is? Half due to costs of showing new episodes all of the time and popularity 1/3 are repeats which means its much more cheaper Which channels have more imported programmes in their schedules? Why do you think this might be? Channel 4 have much more imported programmes because they have a wide target audience and channel 5 do because its a much more practical channel. What do you understand by the term, “the watershed” and where does this occur in the schedules? When more violent or sexual programmes are screened. After 9.00

Evaluation For Preliminary Task

My evaluation for my Preliminary task

For my preliminary task Hannah Melissa and i had to make a video documentary about how people use their mobiles phones and information about them. For starters we got our cameras set up and then planned what we was going to film and what cut aways we needed to give more variety to the documentary. Once we had produced our documentary as a group we presented it to the class and got positive feedback and things to improve for the real task.  The class said that our choice of music was good and relevant as our song was called “banana phone”. I was happy with this because as a group we had took a long time on picking the music and im glad that we got it correct and intrigued the class. The class also said that we had good use of cutaways and they were interesting to watch. The last positive thing that the class said about our video was that our interviewee was looking away from the camera just like it says to do in the codes and conventions of documentaries.

Then the class gave us some feedback on some things that we could improve for our real documentary, one of them was to make sure that the background noise isn’t as loud as it was, because ours was too loud to the point where you couldn’t hear our interviewee. This means that next time we are going to have to plan the interview much more carefully and intensely. They also said that we need better mise en scene and a better variety of camera angles, i think that this is fair of them to say because we just kept the camera in the same position throughout the whole interview. Looking back at our documentary now i can see that there are a lot of changes and improvements to makes as we move onto the real documentary. 

 

Screen Shots Of Mobile Video

The above shots are both the opening ones. The bottom cutaway is to describe to the audience what the interviwee is talking about.

 These two shots are cut aways also explaining what our interviwee is talkign about, the top one is a panning shot of all different types of modern mobile phones.

The screen shots above are of our interviwee. The shot is a close up shot, because we added a variety of shots to make our documentary more intriguing.

These are both cutaway shots where the music (banana phone) is edited to be much louder whilst the cutaways describe what the interviewee was talking about earlier.

These are both the ending shots of the documentary with the credits of who produced it.

Documentary genre

Codes and conventions of documentaries The purpose of a documentary is to document, to report with evidence something that has actually happened. It can show this by using actuality footage or reconstructions. It can use a narrators voice over to anchor the meaning or rely on the participants themselves with perhaps occasional comments from an unseen narrator.
Fly on the wall (verite) – appear as truthful as possible Current affairs- topicality in depth news item Both radio and tv use documentaries a lot in their scheduling. Documentaries are important to schedule with target audience with where to schedule.

•Audience research is vital.
• Documentaries have different styles Different techniques
•Observation- programme members forget the camera is seen
• Interview- they don’t look at camera they look at who is interviewing them- mise en scene has to be right
 • Narrative- start, middle and ending. Has to tell a story, dramatic conflict too
 • Exposition- what is the documentary saying- line of argument
 • Fully narrated- screen voiceover (voice of god)
• Mixed- combine interviews observation, narration, found footage
 • Voxpop- street interviews with the general public. Ask them all the same question. Dramatic footage to show conflict
