Audio adjustmet
Currently I am at home sorting out some of the link music for the documentary. Due to copy right laws we cannot use popular music. However there is a loop whole if the songs are remixed. So the group decided that this is an appropriate thing to do.
I'm using the software called 'audacity' to make this possible.
Firstly I have tried to increase the speed of the audio by 4.176% . this worked well. Any more than this and the song starts to distort.
I tried to put an Echo in place however this did not work the delay time (in seconds) 1.000000 along with the Delay factor of 0.50000 distorted the song making it hard to hear and wave length impossible to read unless zoomed into at a high percentage.
Next i adjusted the pitch of the track from F down to E. semitones (half notes) of -0.89. The frequency (in HZ) is from 2756.250 - 2618.438. The percent change was -5.
Lastly i looked at the tempo (tempo with out changing pitch). Firstly i thought due to the genera along with the documentary segment it would work well speed up. So put in place a percent change of 4.76. However we wanted to see if a decrease would also work just as well. I tried it by a -6% however with the other alterations sounded sloppy. Or to put in colloquially like a drunk person slurring there words. Which is not the effect one was looking for. I decided in the end to leave it at a -2% change.
Now the basics have been changed to give this segment of music a youthful and original feel to look at factors such as the 'wahwah' and the 'Phaser' effect and so on to see if any of these were appropriate. The 'whawah' effect did not work well, it distorted the music and created an I'm balance with the speakers. So ultimately used the other effect.
Next I adjusted the base to a frequency of 50 (Hz) and a boost (dB) 8. Anymore than this the music distorts and hurts the ears.
From point 0.0 where the audio starts on the stereo track bar I introduced a 'fade in' to the point 3.0. However this took away impact from the start and therefore would not impact the documentary in the way necessary.
Next i used the 'Envelope tool' to adjust wave size.
The segment of music is 28seconds long. This can be edited down on the apple mac computers to fit the documentary. Audio levels can be adjusted to when the presenter speaks, and fade outs can be introduced.
The images below show how the audio was adjusted:
Now just need to add this to the documentary.

editing footage
As shown in the above image we continued to edit our footage.
We also stated to recorded the 'presenter' introducing the interviews. And aliening this in the selected part of the documentary. 
Above we have Chloe Wall adjusting the script that we produced before had complex language and was too shot or looking slightly ambiguous with the selected segment of the documentary. Our new script has a lighter tone with a comical feel so our target audience could relate. This will also keep them engaged with the topic due to the use of rhetoric and humorous feel.Writtern by Chrishelle Henderson

progression 14th january 2010
Today we decided that we would go to our local shopping centre to do on the spot interviews with the public. However we decided this would be a bad idea as the weather was poor and not many people would do on the spot interviews because of the rain. This also would of been a bad idea as the weather would distorted the sound and picture.We have postponed the filming in a shopping centre and we are carrying on editing the filming we have already done.We are also planning what we are doing for weeks to come.

Progrestion
In todays lesson the following progress occured:
Firstly, Chloe kidd brought in magazines such as 'more' and 'cozmopolitan'. This will be used in an approximate 10-20secons worth of footage with in our documentary.
We thought that it be important to use these as a prop (iconography) as it will inhance what the presenter useing the voice of god will be saying. For example on all the magazines there are celebaraties and manny are regared as perfict, idea or role models within our socierty. This links with the idea that there is a correlation between the media projecting out an image to form a common concencious with in our socierty that you must look like a celebraty to be accept.
Also as theses are common magazines amungst todays youth and under twenty fives, our target audience can connect with this part of the documentary, as this gives it amore relatebale feel. This may also help intise our audience due to common faces within our media are being presented.
This segmet also provides us a way to move on to the next feature or interview with in our documentary.
Chloe Wall and Chloe Kidd, layed out the magazines across the table in almost a collarge fasshion. Then filmed some close ups and some panning shots.
I uploaded the footage on to the Apple Mac and started to cut it down to size to fit in to the documentary.
Also I extracted audio from part of the interview with Francisca,so the audio and images run simaltaniously. This will help show our audience the negative effects that magazinge advertisemtns for example in the media institution can have on self esteam.
Also after this was completed I cut down and aranged some of the clips to give the documentary a flow so it does not look like parts of do not fit in, look ambigious and even so it does not look like there is just a random tangent with in the documentary. Amost giving the documentary a feel of being continuous.
TO DO LIST
We now have the bare bones footage of our documentary. Here is the to do list that I desined with my team members for the next lesson:
Sub-titles
Mix audio to fit documentary and find un-coppy writed music for sections.
Get the pictures of Francisca uploaded on to the apple Mac's
finalize the script

Pitch Preparation
When I was putting together the pitch on power point I decided that it might be beneficial if the group had flash cards to prompt and guide them thoughout the presentation of our pitch
Above are the flash cards that were used. However due to last minute editing some of the side numbers at the tops of the cards are no longer relevent due some slides being moved about in the presentaion.

Camera angles
1. Establishing shot
Since the documentary is about fashion and beauty, we decided that it would be appropriate to have an establishing shot of a location for example London. Reason for this London is the prefect miss-en-scene. It is a location famous for being one of the worlds fashion capitals. Therefore due to our documentary focusing on fashion, this will engage our audience as many associate London with shopping and high profile. (Attention grabber)
2. Long shot
This shot is appropriate for us as it shows of an individuals clothing. Also allows a lack of bias to be conveyed to our audience.

This shall be used for interviews. Simple head and shoulders shot of our interviewees. Here the audience can see the emotions and body language of the interview and make a true judgement and opinion of what they are watching. The interviewee shall be placed at a slight angle facing the interviewer who is off camera.

Shows the audience the facial expresstions slightly more close up. This is done for impact for example when introducing an interviewee so the audience can start to get a rounded oppinion of them.
NO Over the shoulder shots as we wish not to create empathy or bias. There decision to the questions the documentary is based on should be ultimately made by our audience.

Insparation
It has become ever apparent that we live in such a body concious socierty, with in our advetisements there are ageing creams, make up, cozmetic surgery answers to everything. As in this decade our media has become more and more overwhelming Chloe Kidd put the foundation idea for our documentary and then as a group we were inspierede by a plethora of television shows and campanins.
For example:
For example:
- How to look good naked (channel 4)http://www.channel4.com/programmes/how-to-look-good-naked
- 10 years younger (channel 4)http://www.channel4.com/programmes/10-years-younger
- The dove campain for natural beauty http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/
- snog marry avoid (bbc3)

Questionaires
To see if our documentary would be relevent to a contemporay audience as a group we decided that questinaires would be an efficent way to gather this information. (Audience profilling)
The questions asked were aimed to see what the effect the fashion industry along with the mass media had on an idividual. Also we wanted to see the general moral and see if there was a concencious of attitude on weather or not people would want to watch our documentary.
INSERT QUESTIONAIRES HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Demographic:
From our results we gathered the following:
The audience would be perlimilary males and females of late teens and earlie 20's, falling under the quirky or ambisios psychographic catogory. Also due to the subject of annorexia being touched upon as an extream case of negative self-esteam memebers of families who have been touched with such cases may also fit into the audience.
