Recording and Editing Radio Trailer.

Radio Studio: We used the radio studio to let us record our voice over for the documentary and the radio advert. Using the radio studio to do this instead of a voice recorder allowed us to make the voice sound more clearer as a voice recorder picks up every bit of movement that happens and tends to echo so being in the radio studio made sure we were isolated from any other sound and made it sound much better quality.




















Adobe Audition: We used Adobe audition to produce our radio advert, this allowed us to cut the sections we want out of the actual production and let us change the sound levels so they all link together.

Recording and Editing Voiceover.

In our audience feedback from our questionnaire we conducted, most people wanted to hear a women voiceover in a documentary and because of our target age .... we chose a girl who was in that target range. This voiceover is played when a collage of celebrities appear on the screen, this also links to the voiceover which follows.
























When we recorded the voiceover we used the radio studio we did this because then the quality of the voiceover will be better than if we used a dictaphone. Once this was done we added the voiceover into our work we had already done in Adobe Premier here we edited the voiceover and added it were we needed it.

Scripting Voiceover.

Celebrity collage voiceover:

We spend billions of pound a year on hair, to look after our hair, keep up with hair fashions or to recreate our favourtie celebrities' looks. Many people admire celebrity hair styles and men are no exception Actor Patrick Dempsey was chosen the male celebrity with the most wanted hair for men. Also when out nation's sweetheart, Cheryl Cole, dyed her hair red, red bos dyes flew of the shelves, but would we want these celebrity styles if they didnt have any hair at all?

Trichologist

Some people unfortunately suffer from hair loss caused by stress, fungal infections, certain medicines, hair loss can also be caused be a serious operation or pregnancy and some have a serious case called tricholillomania whihc is the compulsive urge to pull out their own hair. It is recognized as a disorder leading to noticable hair loss, distres, and social or functional impairment. It is often chronic and dificult to treat.

Hairdresser Information

When it comes to happiness at work, hairdressers are a cut above therest. Hairdresser are the happiest worker in the UK, with two out of five syaing they are very content in their job. Clitens appreciate them because they make people feel good and look good, Hairdresser also have he opportunity to be theri own bosses. Part of their happiness in work is making clients happy with how hairdressers make them feel.

These were all the original scripts for the voice overs in our documentary however we had to cut them down to fit the size of the cut aways between interviews to link them together.

Editing.

Before we started recording and planning the interview, we planned the opening titles of the documentary. These are to introduce the documentary and what it is about, what audience it is aimed at and it also grabs the viewers attention and makes them watch on. Before we could film we had to plan a story of the opening credits, also we chose a song to go witht he opening title.



































After all of this was planned we filmed the opening titles and edited them together and the writing and the song over the opening title. When the filiming of the interviews was put on the computer the first thing to do was edit the questions out of the interviews. This is because when we interviewed the interviewees we asked them to answer in full so that in made sense when we did edit the questions out.



















After the questions were edited out of the interview we had to choose cutaways which would fit in with the answers from the interviewee. These cutaways also hid jumps between the answers, when choosing these cutaways we found footage for our trichologist interview from an embarassing bodies programme on tricholomania. However we had to write a letter to see if we could use this footage :
Channel 4,
I am a media student from Weatherhead Media Arts college in Wirral. I am in my second year of my media course and am producing a Documentry about Hair.
I am writing to you to ask for permission to use a section of "Embarressing Bodies" as archive footage within my documentry.
If possible could you please reply with your answer.
Thankyou Ashleigh Hoey.
Also after all the editing of the interviews and the cutways were in the interviews, we recorded a voiceover to fit in with the documentary. We used these interviews to introduce the documentary and to change subject from hair loss to being a hairdressers.
