When filming over multiple days, we had to pay a lot of attention to continuity. As to give the impression that the filming is only taking place over a single day. When editing, we also had to pay a lot of attention to the lighting and time of the day, especially in the later scene where Kevin is waiting, a time lapse is shown, so the lighting needed to change to reflect this.
As shown in the 2 images , the 
one on the right shows Kevin waiting early on in the day, the one on the left shows later in the day, where the sun is lower, shown by the darker lighting, the elongated shadows. This is done to show time passage, and to make the documentary seem more real and believable.Content wise our film stays to the stereo-typical documentary genre, while investigating a less seen side of pregnancy, the one of the father, where most documentaries look at it from the side of the mother, our documentary looks at the documentary from the fathers side, through all the tussles and toils of being indecisive about being a father, and what to do after the child is born. We keep all traditional elements of a documentaries such as a narrative voice over, scenery shots etc.
We have tried to provide and enticing story line for the viewer, as well as being factual and keeping within realism boundries. We have tried to keep the viewers wanting more throughout, with intense scenes such as the last scene from our clip where Kevin ends up fighting Beth's brother and walking off, this scene was taken from a handheld camea to keep up with the pace of the scene and so that the cameraman could give chase to Kevin upon ending the shot. whilst showing what help fathers can require when their partner is pregnant, and where to find this help if it is required. This is mainly highlighted in the interview with Sue, at college, where she mentions there is a father to farther support group of men whom all have had experience being a father who are willing to help and advise others through their journy into fatherhood.
When filming we took consideration of our audience questionnaire and used these findings in our final work, such as, with one of our questions, the audience were indifferent about when it would be shown, before or after the watershead. So to reflect on this, we decided to censor out all fowl language to allow our program to be shown just before the watershead, as non of the main viewing is on C4 at his time, so no critical shows will be moved etc.
Question 2
In our production we are trying to provide and interesting story, whilst also showing soon to be parents, experiences that they could be going through and any help/support that they may like use use.
2. b)
Question 3
3. c) When looking at other advertising products, comparing them to ours, i have found that we use similar styles to convey our point, in the poster, it follows the same conventions as all channel 4 documentaries, with a main character, posing, with some relevance to the documentary, with the title of the documentary and showing times the main visible features as well as the C4 logo. There isn't many radio trailer s for things like this, but after listening to radio adverts, we decided to have a pair of people, conversing about a common theme.
Question 4
Through aid of the internet we were able to research a great deal into documentaries, and how they are presented, from a narrated documentaries, such as 'Extraordinary People Documentaries', to documentaries with a presenter, such as 'Mark Dolan's Chanel 4 Documentaries' All these available on the internet, one way or another. This was a great advantage to us as it allowed us to see other documentaries and give us an example of how to produce ours. Like the amount of commentary, how long the shots are, the type of shots used, volumes of music and dialog and other general editing things.
The use of Sony HD3000 digital cameras was greatly useful as it allowed us to re record any bad scenes, or just delete any scenes we did not like. With the use of final cut, we could cut sections of our recorded material, which allows us to select the best bits from each scene and splice them together to make an overall more complete and compelling scene. It also allowed multiple audio tracks, so we could have the recorded audio with the film, along side music, and a narrative track, all simultaneously played. The zoom microphone allowed us to rerecord any specific audio segments that were inaudible, and to record the narrator track in high quality audio, and placement of these sound segments where they are required.
