Production of Print Advert

These screenshots show how we used Adobe Photoshop to create our print advert.
This image shows how we transfered the channel 4 logo onto our own advert and how we scaled it to be the appropriate size and colour.


This screenshot shows how we created images to appear on the tablets that would be relevant to the topic of the documentary. We created these images by using various shape tools on photoshop.


This screenshot shows how we applied different effects to the writing on the tablets. The effects we used were bevel and emboss as well as drop shadow.


This screenshot shows how the images on the tablets fit onto the background image. It also shows the bottle before we created a label for it.

This screenshot shows the label we created to be used on the bottle and how we used the transfrom tool to bend it to fit the shape of the bottle. Also this screenshot shows how we inserted text saying the title of the documentary. We also used coloured shapes for the background for the text.

Editing Documentary

This is how we used Adobe Premier to edit our documentary in various ways. This screenshot shows how we inserted graphics to be used within the interviews. This graphic will be used to tell viewers the name of the interviewee and their relevance to the topic being discussed.


This screenshot shows us using the razor tool which enables us to cut sections of the video and audio out so that they can be reordered.


This Screenshot shows the creation of the voiceover montage that introduces the documentary. It shows the different shots we used being placed together as well as the voiceover track being laid on top of it. Also we used the dissolve transition to make the movement between each shot more interesting to watch.


In this screenshot we have shown how we used different cutaways throughout the interviews in the documentary. We used this cutaway of an audience laughing to move away from the gaps between each answer the interviewee was giving.
This screenshot shows the collection of footage we filmed and captured that was used in our documentary. It contains a mix of Archive footage, Actuality footage and audio content such as music tracks and voiceovers.
