Transformation
By Amy Cleary
Editing-Perspective- it has the perspectives the filmmaker is talking about such as drinking and sex.
What went well
Shooting Material-good use of different locations.
Social actors- people were saying their honest opinion.
WWW• Overall I think it was really good and most things were
edited correctly. They had clear cutaways to different soaps and various images.
Different advertisements to back up their point.
Even Better If
If the talking in this scene wasn’t so rushed. Also the music was too loud.
The voiceover towards the end of this scene cut off.
There was children in the background which were being quite noisy. Also they could have added more expert interviews.
EBI• More of it was really good, however there was some
aspects which were bad. For example at the end of one of the scenes it cut straight off. Also there could have been more expert interviews as there wasn’t many.
Pictures such as this would go past too quickly.
The music cut of rather then fading.
Is the Current Media Landscape Hegemonic or Democratic?

What Went Well
WWW Explanation
Cutaways When the presenter was talking they had cutaways to make it more visual
The background music was related to the topic
It fits into the topic that was shown and it sets the mood
Montage editing A lot of pictures that was presented at the beginning of the documentary
Statistics Which proves their point
Cutaways
Cutaways, is when someone is presenter is talking, and would use a cutaway to show the audience, to make it more interesting and more visual.
The cutaway is good, as it keeps the audience interested and not bored, just by listening to the presenter talking, and its more easier to understand.
Background Music
The background music, is when there’s music in the background, whiles having montage editing at the beginning
The background music is good, as it sets the mood, in this case it was a happy mood, as it shows how different people use the media.
Montage Editing
Montage editing is really good, as it gives an idea what the documentary is about. It would give a taste to the audience whether they would like it or not
Statistics
Statistics, were also used, this is really good as it proves their point to the audience making it more believable as they are proving their point
Even Better If
WWW Explanation
The placement where the presenter was standing
The background can be distracting, where the audience would focus on the background rather than the presenter
The presenter was talking too fast The audience wouldn’t understand
To have more expert interviewing Makes the documentary seem more realistic
The Placement of the Presenter
The placement of the presenter is really bad as the background is distracting, as the audience might look at the background rather than the presenter.
The Presenter was talking too fats
Its important for the presenter to talk slowly for the audience to understand what the presenter to talk, otherwise it wouldn’t be clear and wouldn’t understand what the documentary might be about
More expert Interview
In this documentary, they only have a few interviews, this is really bad as they didn’t get many peoples opinions on the media, which means they cannot generalise to a big population
