Production: The life of a lifeguard



This is my final draft of my documentary. I spent some time making the changes that have been suggested to me through my ongoing focus group feedback. Some of the main changes I have added/taken out consist of:
  1. Keeping the transitions more simple, most of them are all now 'fade to black' which keeps it simple yet effective, following a convention that would most likely exist in an already existing documentary.
  2. I have also taken out the Channel 4 introduction due to the fact that I didn't feel like it was really needed, as I also wanted to cut down the duration of my piece slightly.
  3. I took out the 'alarm' sound effect as this isn't something that other documentaries have, and is not an aspect that is very professional either.
  4. Also, I have changed all the font so it is the same, this builds up my sense of branding. I really like the font I have chosen, it's simple and easy for the audience to read. This is an example of a micro aspect that actually makes a huge difference to the whole look of the documentary.
  5. I have recorded a new voice-over. It is now louder and clearer, and the tense in which I speak remains consistent throughout the whole thing. 
  6. Finally, I have added an small extract at the end, in which I am standing outside the RNLI Lifeboat centre, ready to go in and ask them some questions that the audience will be able to watch after the break.
