Radio trailer Roll with it

• Throughout the radio trailer there is a music bed which has been used for the intro and then be quietened down so is at a suitable level so the audience can here the narrator speaking. This keeps the advert up beat and flowing engaging an audience.
• As soon as the voice over starts speaking she say the word " bowling" so the audience starlight away no its to do with bowling.
• It then goes on to ask a question " but why have bowling alleys become the main sale of retail parks?" this engages the audience as it is making the audience think about the question keeping them involved and wanting to know more.

Filming Vox Pops

As a group we went to Liscard and New Brighton to film our vox pops for our documentary we asked them short questions. It was a challenge as allot of people were not keen on the idea of getting recorded.

Vox pox questions:

•    Do you enjoy bowling?
•    Who do you go bowling with?
•    How often do you go bowling?
•    Describe bowling in three words?
•    What else do you do when you go bowling?
•    Would you recommend bowling to others?

Print advert draft

Before creating our print advert we decided that we should do a rough sketch of it first. We wanted it to look visually interesting. We decided on a bowling ball with pins by using an effect it will look like that pins are falling over.

Questionnaire for audience feedback

Here are the questionnaires for our audience feedback

Audience feedback

Radio script

    For many, bowling is an iconic pass time within American culture but in Britain bowling continues to increase in popularity from a leisure pursuit to a competitive sport.

But why have bowling alleys become the mainstay of retail parks?

[Voxpops]·   ‘I’m always going bowling with my mates, it’s a great laugh’
·   ‘Its fab because I can have a few drinks and a bite to eat as well’

And how do people go from casual bowler to league player?

·         ‘I’m dead competitive, I always have to win’
·         ‘Bowling takes my mind off everyday life’

Find out why the nation is increasingly bowled over by one of its favourite past-times...Watch Let It Roll, Thursday 9^th January 7.30 on 4

Problems with interview

We arranged to do an interview with the manager of a bowling alley the interview was a success and he answered all the questions that were needed. However when we got back to school and uploaded the interview to the computer we realised that the microphone had not been switched on. So we had no sound throughout the interview. Unfortunately we could not reschedule this interview. 

Questions for Dave the manager

1.  How long have you been manager of the bowling alley and how did you get into the business?

2.  Do you enjoy working in the bowling alley?

3.  What’s your favourite thing about the bowling alley?

4.  How many bowling leagues do you have come in a week?

5.  Do you see bowling as more as a competitive thing or a social thing? Or both?

6.  What’s the most popular age group that attends the bowling alley? Is it families or young couples?

Editing Process

This is me and my group working as a team making our documentary , radio trailer and print advert.

Filming pictures

Here are different photos of us filming.

This is a interview we didn't end up using as the microphone was not plugged in correctly. Instead of re-scheduling this interview with her we decided to use somebody else but use the same framing for the interview.

This was one of our first trips out the bowling ally this is Steven and Gabby positioning the camera correctly onto the tripod.

The bowling ally that we did our filming in had very dark lighting so we used this LCD light when doing interviews to make the interview much brighter so the lighting looked better.

Planning

Opening sequence story board.

Firstly when beginning to create our documentary we had to plan our opening sequence which we made by creating a story board. We decided that we would use professional league bowler Steven Swaby to open our documentary. By using different shots of him bowling including close ups and medium close ups. We decided that he would role the ball down the lane in slow motion. then the sweep would come down and the title would appear " roll with it ".

Here is our framing for our interviews
Before filming the interviews we decided that we would plan our framing for each interview so that each frame looked professional and so each frame was different so it looked eye catching and didn't bore the audience.
