Evaluation
Question 1 - In what way does your product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
My product does not develop or challenge the forms and conventions of a real media product.
I stuck to the codes and conventions of a professionally made documentary in order to ensure that my product used the codes and conventions correctly to make the documentary and the ancillary tasks were made to a profession standard.
The codes and conventions that I tried to ensure that I used were;
The use of graphics
I used graphics in a clear font that would be easily read throughout when showing interviews on the screen I used graphics underneath to anchor the name of the person being interviewed, I also ensured that the graphics were on screen long enough so that the audience did not miss reading what they said and to anchor who the person is and their relevance to the topic.
The Day I Died http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I9-XxBAEsQ
The use of cutaways
I used cutaways to break up large chunks of interviews in the documentary and to also prevent any jump cuts when the questions asked by the interviewer were edited out to follow the codes and conventions of an interview in a documentary.
Framing of interviews
I ensured that the framing of interviews was done correctly to follow the codes and conventions of a documentary, to do this I framed the interviewee’s so that their eye line was approximately one third of the way up the screen and that they were framed to either the left or right hand side of the screen, this follows the conventions of a typical documentary to ensure that they interviewee is clear to see.

My Documentary
Voice over relevant to the documentary
We used a young male to do our voice over as it suited the target audience of our documentary. A male voice over was also stereotypical for a documentary with the subject that we had chosen as the main range of extreme body documentaries on channel 4 use male voice over’s, the voice over worked well in our documentary as it is the glue which holds the narrative together.
Archive Material
We also used archive material in our 5 minutes and to link the voice over and topics together following the conventions of other mixed documentaries. The archive material was also used as cutaways and to introduce different topics into the documentary, for example the first part of the 5 minutes focuses on the tattoo side of the documentary and the second half focuses mainly on piercings’, when the second part of the documentary started archive material was used along with the voice over to introduce the change in topic.

Mise En Scene
We used mise en scenes in the background of the interviews that were relevant to the person we were interviewing, we used backgrounds from the peoples everyday lives, for example, the interview with Josh Gilroy was done in his bedroom with his own personal surrounding around him, we did this to bring in his personal belongings as well as his opinions as the background of his bedroom shows what he is like as a person.

Editing Techniques
When editing the interviews we used various techniques such as fading and cross fading to make the material more interesting.

My Documentary
The use of Voxpop’s We also used voxpop’s in our documentary to follow the code and conventions of a typical mixed documentary and to get peoples reactions after viewing images of people with lots of tattoo or piercings and to intrigue the audience.
Question 2 - How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?
Coherence is created across the package of the documentary, radio trailer and print advert. The coherence is created through the use of a consistent title on all three products, the channel and scheduling is also kept the same on the print advert and the radio trailer.
The voice over that is used in the documentary is also used in the radio trailer to keep a consistency between the two products. Extracts from the documentary are used in the radio trailer so the audience recognises parts of the documentary in the trailer. The image on the print advert is relevant to the subject of the documentary as it shows piercings.
The Radio Trailer The radio trailer will appear on national stations as the documentary will be shown on channel 4 the radio trailer cannot be aired on BBC or ITV stations as they are competitors of channel 4.
It will be aired on:
Virgin Classic FM
Heart FM
Print Advert
The print advert will appear in various newspapers. It will appear in:
• Observer
• Guardian
• Express
• Daily Mail
• Telegraph
The print advert has been made landscape to make it a more versatile shape/format. By making the print advert this shape it will fit on a page at any size and it is exactly the correct shape for a billboard if it was decided to do a campaign outside of newspaper advertisement.
The image on the print advert is relevant to the documentary as it is shows images of a collage of faces to represent individuality. The image shows faces with a variety of features, some of the faces show piercings and others show none this represents that everyone has their own opinion to the topic and that some people have modified their bodies whereas others have not which is what the documentary is all about.
Question 3 - What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

Question 4 - How did you use technology?
I used a variety of technologies throughout my work for this unit.
Whilst making the documentary and completing the ancillary tasks I used a range of technologies to complete my work.
Research
During the research for the documentary I used the internet using search engines such as Google and ask for research as well as YouTube and photo bucket to collect research into professional documentaries along with Adobe Premier to edit clips that I had collected from professional documentaries.
Construction
I used Video Cameras, Stills Cameras and microphones for the construction, to collect the footage needed for the documentary. I used a recording studio to record the voice over and the radio trailer. I used Adobe Premier to do the editing for my documentary and radio trailer. I also used Adobe Photoshop for my print advert.
Evaluation
For the evaluation I have used Stills Cameras to take the photographs for my audience research, as well as using voice recorders, video camera’s and microphones for this section of the evaluation. I have also used Adobe Premier to collect screen grabs of our documentary and screen grabs of professionally made documentaries for comparison. I also used Adobe Photoshop for the production of the mood board I created.
My product does not develop or challenge the forms and conventions of a real media product.

‘Strange, very very weird’
‘Funky’
Voice Over Script
Over the years views on Piercings and Tattoos have changed, from being used to represent anything from crime to wealth and status, to now where they can be seen as fashionable or in the extreme form…
During this documentary we explore the lives of people world known for there full body tattoos or piercings, seeing how people react and why they felt the need to be so extreme in there body modification. Why does anyone feel the need to get a tattoo or piercing?
The pictures we took for the print advert (not all of them were used due to either lighting, movement whilst the image was getting taken or because we had better images)
This was a rough drawing of the plan for the print advert. This shows an image of a person with a piercing, The title 'Skin Deep', The slogan Beauty or Beast? and the channel 4 logo and date.
This was an updated plan of the print advert as our ideas changed. This shows an image of 4 faces they are split to make a montage of the faces put together as a full face, on this image is a:
Forehead,
Eyes and Eyebrows (With piercings),
A nose, and
A mouth - pulling tongues to reveal a tounge piercing.
Radio Trailer
The planning for this section involved going through out documentary and pulling out parts we wanted to use in the trailer, we then wrote out a script as a voiceover to the radio trailer - which was done using the same person who spoke for the voiceover of the documentary.

Voice Over Script
Voice Over Script for Documentary:
This will be said over the 'History of Tattoos' section over a montage of images.
In the last few years tattoos have become the latest must have fashion accessory making them seem like a modern phenomenon, but this is not the case, tattooing has been round long before the time of Christ. The first real record of tattooing comes from ancient Egyptian wall paintings showing people baring tattoos, this fashion soon travelled around the world. Tattooing has been used for many different purposes and not just for body art; Romans used tattoos to brand criminals and slaves. The Japanese also marked their convicts. A single line on the forehead represented a first-time offender. Two lines marked a repeat offender and three lines spelled ‘dog’. Tattoos faded off the scene for 400 years, between 1200 and1600. When the British explorers returned from voyages with completely tattooed natives, in the late 1600’s and 1700’s the tattoos caused a sensation in London. Samuel O’Reilly patented the first electric tattooing machine. Ironically, for a practice that for a large part of its history has had negative social connotations, it has now become a must have fashion accessory.
This will be said over the 'History of Piercings' section over a montage of images.
In recent times body piercing has been closely linked to fashion trends, although the history of piercing can be traced back to the ancient times when the primitive tribes and clans practiced this unique art of body modification. Body piercing has existed since the time immemorial and the practice is believed to be over thousands of years old. The Egyptians were fond of embellishing themselves, however the pharaoh was the only person able to get his naval pierced. Anyone found guilty of attempting to acquire a belly button piercing could face the death penalty. Romans practiced the art of body piercing specific aims in view. Roman centurions pierced their nipples, not for its appeal, but to indicate their vigour and potency. The Aztec and Maya were known for their skills as great warriors and they indulged in septum piercing so that they seemed more ferocious to their enemies.
These will be said to introduce the 2 Voxpop's in the documentary
Elaine Davidson, in the Guinness World Record book she is acknowledged as being the worlds most pierced women. We asked people what they thought about her.
Erik Sprague aka the lizard man, he is known as this due to his full body tattoos and fork tongue used to make him look like a lizard. We asked people what they thought about him and Tom Woodbridge aka the leopard man or Tom Leppard, known for having tattoos replicating the skin of a leopard. We asked people what they thought about him.

This will be said over the 'History of Tattoos' section over a montage of images.
In the last few years tattoos have become the latest must have fashion accessory making them seem like a modern phenomenon, but this is not the case, tattooing has been round long before the time of Christ. The first real record of tattooing comes from ancient Egyptian wall paintings showing people baring tattoos, this fashion soon travelled around the world. Tattooing has been used for many different purposes and not just for body art; Romans used tattoos to brand criminals and slaves. The Japanese also marked their convicts. A single line on the forehead represented a first-time offender. Two lines marked a repeat offender and three lines spelled ‘dog’. Tattoos faded off the scene for 400 years, between 1200 and1600. When the British explorers returned from voyages with completely tattooed natives, in the late 1600’s and 1700’s the tattoos caused a sensation in London. Samuel O’Reilly patented the first electric tattooing machine. Ironically, for a practice that for a large part of its history has had negative social connotations, it has now become a must have fashion accessory.
This will be said over the 'History of Piercings' section over a montage of images.
In recent times body piercing has been closely linked to fashion trends, although the history of piercing can be traced back to the ancient times when the primitive tribes and clans practiced this unique art of body modification. Body piercing has existed since the time immemorial and the practice is believed to be over thousands of years old. The Egyptians were fond of embellishing themselves, however the pharaoh was the only person able to get his naval pierced. Anyone found guilty of attempting to acquire a belly button piercing could face the death penalty. Romans practiced the art of body piercing specific aims in view. Roman centurions pierced their nipples, not for its appeal, but to indicate their vigour and potency. The Aztec and Maya were known for their skills as great warriors and they indulged in septum piercing so that they seemed more ferocious to their enemies.
