Final Evaluation

 For my advert i decided to film at college because it was a familiar environment, the focus of the advert was meant to be about someone struggling with school so it was very convenient being able to film on campus.

I chose to turn the photography studio into an exam hall to show how different students react in high stress environments. Used a table and chair to create a desk then played with lighting. I used the spotlight lamp to create a dramatic effect that put focus on the actors. I used lighting filters to change the colour of the light, these colours were meant to reflect the emotions that the characters were going through at the time. Green was meant to be serenity, blue was meant to be stress. I then used a deep pink to represent a gradual discourse which then faded into red which represented pure terror.

I then used the A level tutor room to show a revision area, the scenes that took place here showed a student revising and struggling this showed how their mental health gradually deteriorated due to the stress of exams.

I shot one scene on the stair case, the student drops their work here, this is the last scene before the exam. It shows how they are unprepared and stressed compared to other people who are quite calm and collected.

This is relevant to mind as it shows the story of someone that suffers from quite a common issue, something that mind can help with. Mind prioritises younger people who are struggling with their mental health so this fits perfectly with the brief given. The issue of exam stress is quite common so i can guarantee a large majority of the targeted demographic relates to the issue shows so they will more than likely be invested in the story presented as it is relevant to them.

For my podcast i had to use the experimental one as the original was lost. So i used my podcast based on crime. We decided on a theme, it was something we both showed interest in so that we were confident when recording it.

Rather than improvising we kept to a lose scrips so we always had something to talk about. We focused on one case that was very popular so it appealed to a larger demographic.

The purpose of the podcast is to educate people on the story as well as entertain so that they can be interested and educated at the same time, this was successful because it was informative and based on an interesting subject.
