Documentary

Final DPS

This is the final DPS for my documentary. I have added more text to the page and made the typeface a lot smaller like a real magazine, this meant I had a lot less space to play with and has to move the quote and 

Images for DPS and advert

Here are a few of the original and edited images that I have used on the advert and DPS. The only editing I have done to the images is playing with the lightness and contrast, the only other editing I did was making some of the images black and white to make sure that they fit in with the colour scheme on the pages. 

Final Advert

This is the final design for the TV advert. I decided to make the image black and white to stop the contrast with all of the green leaves and the typefaces I was using.

This final design has the name of the rider in colour to make the most important information on the page  stand out from the rest of the black and white typefaces and the image. 

Health & Safety while riding and filming

While we are filming and riding there are quite a lot of risks and dangers out in the woods and while riding fast.

This is not a problem as there are always First Aid trained people either on the side lines or filming. I myself am first aid trained and would be able to deal with most accidents that would happen while out filming. All of the trails and locations that are used in the films have been risk assessed before we began riding, we also checked that they have all been built and maintained by professionals to make sure that the rider is always safe.

I feel that I have done well in assuring that Zac was never in any danger or felt uncomfortable with the riding that he had to do. However falls do happen and Zac has had a few cuts and bruises while helping me film. 

Clothing and props

For my documentary there cant really be a set costume or set props as it is meant to reflect reality, this means that the star of the documentary would not be in the same set of clothes all of the time.

However this is the jersey that Zac often rides in with a pair of jeans.

This shows that he is quite interested in the sport as he has taken time to acquire the proper equipment for the sport, this is one of the 2013 racing jerseys for 'Fox Racing' and gives the rider a slightly more professional look that if he was just in a t shirt and jeans. I think this will work well for my documentary as I am trying to make the subject look as if they have a good understanding of the sport and this imagery of the jersey suggests that Zac (the rider) aspires to be good at the sport. 

The bike Zac will be riding will be the only constant prop throughout the documentary. It is his bike so he would always be riding it while trying to get better at riding, the bike he has is a Kona Cowan and has been changed and adjusted to Zac's style of riding and how he feels comfortable. The only other props that are a constant are the helmets the riders use throughout the documentary. Here is an image of some of the helmets used.
