Final evaluation - Re-draft:
I created an advertisement based on the drink Lucozade sport. I chose this product as i felt that it was something i could advertise well and it was a challenge for me to produce and advertisement for this product. The target audience for my advertisement were women that are quite active as i felt that these people were most likely to buy the product. I also chose this group of people as they are more likely to use this product. With and advert there has to be a specific reason for someones choice of what they want to do. I chose this style of advert as i felt that i would show the drink giving people energy and will make people believe that this product will give them energy.
Once i had filmed and edited everything i needed to make sure that i received feedback and comments about the advert to see what people thought of it and get some people's opinions on what i could have done to improve. To collect this feedback i used two methods, for the first i used survey monkey to make a questionnaire where i asked a range of different people to watch my advertisement and fill in some questions. For the second method i presented a screening, in this i was able to show people my advertisement and then get there feedback from some questions that i asked, i also used a large variety of people who were different ages and genders. Using the survey made it easier to collect information and feedback. I used two methods as i felt i would be able to collect a wider variety of information.
When i did the survey i used different types of questions, i used, open questions and closed question. An open question is when someone is able to right a large answer in a box that they are given to write in. A close question is a question where someone would only be able to tick one answer. I also used a yes/no question as the question i was asking only required a yes or no answer. An example of one of the question i wrote was 'What do you think some improvement could be?'. This question was asked as i was able to then find out any improvement that i could make for the next time. As an example of a closed question the people i asked were asked 'On a scale of 1-10, what would you rate this advertisement?'. This mean't that the people we asked were able to tell me what they thought of my advertisement. There were also questions that i could have asked like 'Do you think the soundtrack works well with the concept of the video?'. this would have been a good question to ask as i would have been able to get a sense of if people thought the soundtrack would match with the video.
The other method of research that i used was the screening and in this i was able to ask questions like 'What did you think of this video?'. This mean't that i was able to find out what people thought of my video and what they felt i could have improved on. The audience that i used were a range of different people, there were many different aged people there and there were a even ratio of men to women. One of the people that answer a question suggested using men and women in my advertisement as the advertisement would then appeal to both genders more. The reason why i used both of these research methods and not just one was because i felt i could find out more information from using both and i would be able to ask a larger range of people.
I then had to analyse all of my audience feedback, this meant looking through all of my footage of my screening as well as looking through the feedback that i collected from my survey. Looking at my results there were a mix of different answers, i received some positive and negative feedback and some negative feedback. There was a large mix of answers but the majority of them were positive. For the survey the majority of the people i asked said that i could have used a wider range of shots, also all of the people i asked said that it was an effective advertisement. During the screening there were a large majority of people that felt i could have used both genders of people but overall they scored my advertisement a 8. I received positive feedback because people felt that my advertisement worked well in advertising the product, and they all agreed that they understood the advertisement. There was good feedback about my advertisement as people felt that the way i edited my advertisement worked well with the concept of the advertisement. This was one of the main things that the audience enjoyed.
There were some things that i found out about my feedback that i didn't feel would come up. As this advertisement was mainly focused at women who were quite active. Even though it may not have appealed to men they enjoyed the concept of my advertisement and there were also some people from the older generation that gave me good feedback from my advertisement which i did not think would have happened. When i asked what my audience thought of my advertisement this person responded saying that they felt the concept of the advertisement worked well in advertising the product.
Overall, from the screening and the survey i felt that the questions were relevant for the information i was trying to receive from my audience. The quality of the response that i received was of a high standard. However, i could have included some more relevant questions in the survey that would have made the information i collected even more conclusive. One of the question that i could have asked would have been 'Do you think the music matches up with the type of vibe the advertisement is giving off?'. One of the questions were also not that helpful as it was a one answer question, this did not provide me with much evidence as to why people felt the way they did about my advertisement. The question was 'On a scale of 1-10, do you think that this was effective?', i could have improved this question by asking why people felt the way they did about my advertisement.
Before i found out what my audience thought of my advertisement i made my own opinion on how i felt the advertisement worked in selling the product. I felt that the advertisement worked well in selling the product as it was showing what i wanted when i edited it. There is a possibility that this however could have been improved by using a wider range of cast in my advertisement and not just one person. I could also have found it more effective as i knew what the vibe was that i was trying to give off, and i felt that i made this work for the little time i had to produce my advertisement. There were also some improvement that i could have made with adjustments to the editing.
The adaptations that i may have been able to make would have been to the editing. To enhance the development of my editing i could have used an advanced amount of different shots rather than using partly identical shots. I could have also perfected some of my editing as in various areas there were pauses that did not work well within the advertisement. However, i felt that as a whole worked exceedingly better than i had initially thought it would, as the advertisement was fast paced and vivacious. When producing an advertisement in the future i will make sure that i collect a wider range of footage, this will help if i feel as though there are any changes to be made. I would have improved and adapted the question that i used to collect my feedback by using a wider range of question that are more elaborate. I corresponded with my audiences opinions as i felt that there point were valid and that the improvement they suggested would have made my advertisement more effective.
I feel like there are some improvements that i could have made to the filming as at some point their were pieces of clips that were slightly wobbly. This mean't that i had to then cut the clip shorter so that the camera movement wouldn't be able to be seen in the advertisement. It was clear what the product i was advertising was as you were able to see what i was in some clips of my advertisement and at the end of my advertisement there is editing that shows the drink moving, this clip is only focused on the product. The concept of my advertisement was good as it matched up with what i was trying to sell and showed that the product actually works.
Some of the things that i could have done to improve my advertisement were to think about the cast that i was using before i produced my advertisement as there were some complication within my group of people. I could also have improved by using a completely different concept as this was similar to my group members. If i was to produce something like this again i would make sure that i filmed a lot of different shots so that if i felt that some of the clips weren't working i would be able to change what was happening in my advertisement. This could have also been improved if there was specific clips that i had filmed then i would be able to produce the advertisement that i specifically wanted.
After looking at my advertisement and all of my feedback i felt that my audience understood the concept of the advertisement really well and they knew what i was trying to sell. I also felt that the editing techniques i used worked well as they made the advertisement look like one long clip that had been produced with some small twists. Also from the feedback i received an eight out of ten for my advertisement, i also felt that they gave me this score as the editing, music and advertisement as a whole worked well together. Even though i was given this generous score, there were some small improvements that i could have made to try and boost my score up to a full ten.

There were also some improvement that i could have made with adjustments to the editing.
The improvements that i could have made to the editing would have been to use many different shots rather than all similar shots that i had to work with. I would also make changes and try to use less editing and make the advertisement longer as it was a short but fast paced clip. However, i felt that as a whole the advertisement worked well as it was mean't to be fast paced and full of energy. In the future i will make sure that i get a wider range of footage filmed so that if i feel i need to add more i will not have to film again. I will make improvement with my audience feedback by making sure that i ask a wider range of questions and ask more people to complete my survey. I also agree with the audience feedback as i feel that i should have used a wider range of people to act in my advertisement.

Assignment 4 - Task 3: Present the results
Presenting my results -
Screening -
Survey charts -
Screening -
Survey charts -
People that i asked felt that this advertisement was effective in selling the product.
I found that people felt that all together the scale it was rated was around an 8.
Finally i found that some improvements were that i should have used more of a range of shots and less effects, also people felt that i should have made this appeal to both genders.
Assignment 4 - Task 2: Part 2 Screening
Screening -
Qualitative - I produced a screening where i was able to ask people question, and get there input on things like what they thought about my advert. What they would rate my advert, some improvements of my advert and what there full opinions of my advertisement was. I received some really good notes about how i could improve and what there opinions of my advertisement was.
Quantitive - I also produced a survey monkey this made it easy and quick for me to gather information, this however to not provide me with spoken information about how people actually felt when they were watching my advertisement. I received good feedback from this as it gave me information that was important in finding out what people thought of my advert.
When i was trying to find out what people thought about my advert i used survey monkey, i made a questionnaire involving a group of questions that i had made up to find out what people thought and they left some feedback on how i could have improved my advertisement. There were some improvements that i could have made that the people i asked pointed out, the most repetitive one was that i should have not used to many effects and should have used a larger range of shots. Everyone knew what the advert was about, and they knew who it was appealing to. They felt that the advertisement was effective and the majority of the people i asked to do this gave it an average of and score 8. I also used a screening, i was able to find out some improvements that i could have made and people felt that i could have used a range of different genders of people within my advertisement.
The pros and cons of using survey monkey are that it was a fast and effective way of collecting information and it was easy to find the information that i needed. The cons of this are that you cannot find out what people's points of view are and cannot find out if they feel that there were a large range of improvements that could have been made. The pros and cons of doing a screening were that i could find out what peoples opinions were and what they felt about my advertisement for example someone felt that it would have not been appealing to them as they felt that it was focusing on certain people.
Collect feedback from a range of different aged people and genders, this is effective because i was able to find out if this would appeal to the older generation as well as the younger generation. There were things that the person from the older generation felt that i could do better, that were different from some of the things that the younger people felt i could do to improve. In my screening i made sure that there were a range of different people there was someone of an older generation and both genders of people, this mean't that i was able to get everyones individual opinions.
I asked a range of different questions these included open ended questions and yes/no questions and one answer questions. These made it easier to collect my information as i could get quick and simple answers that were effective, i could also find out how people felt about the advertisement and what they felt i could have done to have improved my advertisement. When i was doing my screening i made sure that i asked questions i could get one answer to as well as questions were i was able to get a large amount of feedback and advice.
My feedback was reliable as there were a range of different people that participated in my survey and my screening, they all gave there own opinions. They were also people that would give there honest opinion on what they felt of my advertisement and of the improvements that could have been made about my advertisement.
Some improvements that i could have made were that i could have used a range of different shots as most of the shots were similar and i could have also used a wider quantity of shots. I could have also put a range of different gendered people in my advertisement so that it would appeal to more people. Something else that i could have done was to use a range of different aged people in my advertisement so that it appealed to a larger variety of people. Some improvements that people felt i could have made were to use a range of different people in my advertisement. People also felt i could have improved by using a larger range of shots.

Collect feedback from a range of different aged people and genders, this is effective because i was able to find out if this would appeal to the older generation as well as the younger generation. There were things that the person from the older generation felt that i could do better, that were different from some of the things that the younger people felt i could do to improve.

Assignment 4 - Task 1: Sources Of Information
Final Evaluation
Throughout the production of my advertisement i had to plan a few different pieces of information that i could follow to make my production successful. There were documents that i had to complete in the hope that i would be able to produce this production and that everything involved would run smoothly.
The Proposal
The first document that i completed was the proposal. In this document i explained in as much detail as possible what was going to happen throughout the making of my advertisement, and i made sure that all of the actors/actresses would understand what was going on throughout the making of my advertisement. In this document there are a number of things that are different to my advertisement as there were a few changes made during the filming of my advertisement. In the future i will make sure that all of the changes i have made throughout the course of my next production will be changed within the documents that i have produced. This document was very helpful as it made the actors/actresses aware of what was going to happen throughout the making of my advertisement.
Production Budget
In the second document i made sure that all of the relevant information that i would need to work out how much everything would cost was put into this document. However, this document was not useful as i did not need to pay for anything throughout the making of this production. This document would have been relevant if i had to pay for any equipment, it would have also been helpful as i would have had a budget that i would have been able to stick to. In the future i will make sure that i do a thorough search on the prices of equipment that i used.
Shooting Schedule
Before i could begin filming i had to first produce a shooting schedule, this made it easier to know what shots i were going to do, where is would be filmed, what equipment i would need to produce this section of the advertisement, what costumes would be needed for them specific days, what props would be needed on those days and who would be filmed on these specific days. This document was useful to me when i was filming my production, as i could refer to it when i needed to know what the next shot would have been. There were some difficulties and changes with this document, as in my actual advertisement i did not use all of the people that were originally meant to be in my advertisement. In my next production it would be useful to make sure that nothing would have to be changed throughout my production, and as a result i would not have to worry about changing anything. When i next do a production like this i will try and make sure that i can follow the shooting schedule.
Production Schedule
In my production schedule i had to include important details like for instance an image and information about where the filming would take place, maps of where the production would have been shot, health and safety issues that may have occurred, and potential filming problems that may arise. This document would have been useful in case of any emergencies could have deflected me from being able to film. This document was not essentially useful to my production as i did not need to use it, and it the development of my production was made easier as all of the actors/actresses knew where they needed to go for the filming. When i next make a production i will make sure that i give this information for all of the actors/actresses to make sure that they know where they will need to go.
Contingency Plan
In this document i made sure that it stated what some problems may have been throughout this production and how they would have been overcome. This would have been useful as there were a few problems with filming and there was some miss communication within the group. There was also another issue with the actors/actresses as some of them decided that it would have been better to pull out at the last minute, this document would have made it a lot easier to overcome these issues. When i am next making a production like this i will make sure that i can change problems easier to change.
Shot List
I produced a shot list to make it easier for me to know what part of my production i was mean't to be filming next. This document was very useful to me as it was an alternative way for me to be able to look at the shots rather than having to look at my storyboards very often. This also made it easier and faster for me to find out what shots i was going to be doing at specific times. They would have also been very helpful as i was able to find out if i had done anything wrong and if i should change it. When i am next making a production i will make sure that i will use these documents as they will make it easier and faster for me to do my filming.
Costumes and props/ contact details
When i was filming it was useful to use the costume and props sheets as it made me aware of what all of the actors and actresses should have been wearing, and what props would have been needed. I did not use these productions sheets as i had a clear vision of what all of the cast should have been wearing. However, this production document would have been helpful if the cast did not know what they needed to wear and made the production team aware of what props were needed. The contact details sheet would have been useful as it had all of the contact numbers for the cast on it. This contact information would have been useful if i needed to get in contact with the cast because it would have made it easier and faster to get in contact with them. I will make sure next time that if there are any problems i will refer to these two sheets in case of any emergencies.
Call sheet
The call sheet would be used to find out any information that we needed to know fast. It will give all of the information for the people that we would need and to find out who has the job of doing what on the days of filming. This sheet would have given some idea of the specific jobs that all of the group members would have had. This sheet would have been useful if people did not know what there specific job roles were throughout the course of filming. During the next filming project that i will produce it will be vital for me to make sure that i follow all of the appropriate timings and dates throughout.
Meeting record
I produced a meeting record as it is used to show what i spoke about with the cast when we had a meeting to discuss what was going to happen while i was filming this production. This sheet would have been helpful as it would have given me information about what the cast thought of the idea for my advertisement and how i could improve this. I did not use this sheet as i did not need to at the time of filming, i also knew what i was doing when i had produced this schedule.
In conclusion i feel that the most helpful documents that i produced were the shooting schedule and the shot list as both of these documents helped me to work out what shots i was mean't to be producing. They also helped as it mean't that i could find out information about the shots that i was doing quickly, these sheets would have made it easier to find out important information. One of the sheets that i did not find useful was the production budget as i did not need to buy any equipment, but if i was going to use this sheet i would have tried to find more information about the equipment i needed whilst filming. I feel that the production sheet that would have needed to be improved would have been the meeting record as it could have been changed to make the sheet more useful, and the information that i collected could have been more useful. In the future i will make sure that i use these sheets as there were some problems that they could have helped me with, and evidently this may have stopped some of these problems for occurring. Overall, if these issues did not happen within the group then the production of this advertisement would have ran smoothly. In my next production i will make sure that i will pick the right people to be involved with in my group and there will be no issues between the group members.
Throughout the production of my advertisement i had to plan a few different pieces of information that i could follow to make my production successful. There were documents that i had to complete in the hope that i would be able to produce this production and that everything involved would run smoothly.
The Proposal
The first document that i completed was the proposal. In this document i explained in as much detail as possible what was going to happen throughout the making of my advertisement, and i made sure that all of the actors/actresses would understand what was going on throughout the making of my advertisement. In this document there are a number of things that are different to my advertisement as there were a few changes made during the filming of my advertisement. In the future i will make sure that all of the changes i have made throughout the course of my next production will be changed within the documents that i have produced. This document was very helpful as it made the actors/actresses aware of what was going to happen throughout the making of my advertisement.
