11. Production Review: My Production and My Intended Improvements
Once I finished my adverts, I wrote down some questions, then I asked the media staff and some of my peers to review them, and as a result I had a rethink about a few things.
From my talk with Mrs B I decided to re-record my voice-over with both female and male voice actors. I decided I needed to steer my adverts more to the female side of the market as they are a bit 'blokey'. I plan to make this change shortly and will have a female voice over for my first advert and a male voice over for my second advert.
My talk with Sam the media tech was a bit more technical; he knew I wasn't very happy with my split screens and he gave me some advice on how to sort the issue. I also decided to do some more colour correction and to fade in some colour as I think it will look much better with a fade.
After my review with Mrs Dymioti I originally decided to rethink my slogan, but in the end I left it as it as it is.
My overall feedback from a variety of people in my target audience range group was that they liked my adverts and they thought they were good. They did however have ideas about how I should make my split screen more central and to adjust my audio balance, which I had already thought about, so it just confirmed this for me.

10. My Planning Evidence
In order to make sure that this project was successful I planned it out thoroughly in advance and made detail lists and ideas about what I wanted to accomplish and when.
My Production list and risk assessment
I created this list so that it was clear when and where I was going to film, which was useful for me when I was informing my actors about the schedule for our shots. This list was also useful as it gave a brief overview of the risks that we might encounter, and enabled me to plan a way around these risks to try and reduce the probability of them happening.
My Storyboard
I created my storyboard so that I could have a visual representation of all my shots, which obviously made it easier to plan out and visualise during shooting. This helped me to cut out a lot of time during the actual shoots as I already had the ideas for what I wanted my shots to look like, as well as reducing time wasted in post production. Blue representing MS and LS and pink representing CU.
My Timeline
Pictured above are the timelines for my two adverts, these time lines were one of the very first things I did and they helped me plan my project, with me basing my shot lists and storyboard off of it.
My Shot Lists
These are my shot lists which were very useful during my actual filming for the trailers. As you can see on the left page I ticked off the shots once I had completed them, I also labelled the best shots I had taken to reduce time wasted during editing looking through clips.
My Test Shoot
For my trailers I also conducted a test shoot and created a rough edit of those shots to see how my actual trailers would turn out, I was however very pleased with the outcome of my test shoot and decided to keep the footage and use it in my actual trailers.
My Brand Design
My brand design as seen above, was coloured and designed so that the blue matches the colour of the waves you would see in places like Hawaii where people regularly go surfing, so that it ties in with my tagline 'Don't Crash Out, Ride The Wave.' The letters are placed vertically above eachother so as to connote a wave building up and coming towards you, they are also in silver so that they stand out from the background.
