Transformation

By Amy Cleary

Editing-Perspective- it has the perspectives the filmmaker is talking about such as drinking and sex.

What went well

Shooting Material-good use of different locations.

Social actors- people were saying their honest opinion.

WWW• Overall I think it was really good and most things were

edited correctly. They had clear cutaways to different soaps and various images.

Different advertisements to back up their point.

Even Better If

If the talking in this scene wasn’t so rushed. Also the music was too loud.

The voiceover towards the end of this scene cut off.

There was children in the background which were being quite noisy. Also they could have added more expert interviews.

EBI• More of it was really good, however there was some

aspects which were bad. For example at the end of one of the scenes it cut straight off. Also there could have been more expert interviews as there wasn’t many.

Pictures such as this would go past too quickly.

The music cut of rather then fading.

Is the Current Media Landscape Hegemonic or Democratic?

What Went Well

WWW Explanation

Cutaways When the presenter was talking they had cutaways to make it more visual

The background music was related to the topic

It fits into the topic that was shown and it sets the mood

Montage editing A lot of pictures that was presented at the beginning of the documentary

Statistics Which proves their point

Cutaways

Cutaways, is when someone is presenter is talking, and would use a cutaway to show the audience, to make it more interesting and more visual.

The cutaway is good, as it keeps the audience interested and not bored, just by listening to the presenter talking, and its more easier to understand.

Background Music

The background music, is when there’s music in the background, whiles having montage editing at the beginning

The background music is good, as it sets the mood, in this case it was a happy mood, as it shows how different people use the media.

Montage Editing

Montage editing is really good, as it gives an idea what the documentary is about. It would give a taste to the audience whether they would like it or not

Statistics

Statistics, were also used, this is really good as it proves their point to the audience making it more believable as they are proving their point

Even Better If

WWW Explanation

The placement where the presenter was standing

The background can be distracting, where the audience would focus on the background rather than the presenter

The presenter was talking too fast The audience wouldn’t understand

To have more expert interviewing Makes the documentary seem more realistic

The Placement of the Presenter

The placement of the presenter is really bad as the background is distracting, as the audience might look at the background rather than the presenter.

The Presenter was talking too fats

Its important for the presenter to talk slowly for the audience to understand what the presenter to talk, otherwise it wouldn’t be clear and wouldn’t understand what the documentary might be about

More expert Interview

In this documentary, they only have a few interviews, this is really bad as they didn’t get many peoples opinions on the media, which means they cannot generalise to a big population
