Props and Costumes

In our advert we didn't really use many costumes, we just let the actors wear their normal everyday clothes to make the advert seem more realistic. However we did use more props, we used things such as benches for the actor to sit on, a bag, Vo5 product, a microphone, microphone stand and lead.

TV advert - final feedback

Jessica, some very good work produced here and within your group, you have created an effective re-branding adverting concept and a well-produced TV advert. In regards to unit 2: Communication Skills for Creative Media Production (pitch and presentation): You were able to use appropriate techniques to extract comprehensive information from written sources and present a well-structured and substantial media production report which conveys information and precise exemplification and justifies conclusions with supporting arguments. Your pitch was interesting and I thought that you conveyed the information about your re-branding idea and employed forms of address in your pitch to communicate ideas effectively. The pitch was visually good and you deployed and managed technology to pitch a media production proposal with creativity and flair and to near professional standards. In regards to unit 30: Advertisement Production for Television: Within your TV advert analysis, you were able to comprehensively explain structures and techniques of TV advertisements with elucidated examples and consistently using subject terminology correctly. Working within your group, you were able originate and develop an idea for a TV advertisement showing creativity and flair and working independently to professional expectations. The advert demonstrated a good understanding of conventions in TV adverts and it was clear that you were able to produce a TV advertisement to a good standard showing some imagination and with only occasional assistance. Your evaluation was also detailed and you explained your own TV advertisement production work with reference to detailed illustrative examples and generally correct use of subject terminology.

Primary Research - Email To Dog's Trust

Email sent to dog’s trust:

Hello,

I was just wondering if it was possible if we were able to ask you a few questions about The Dogs at your sanctuary and the work done as well as numbers of animals, so we can include these in a short documentary we are doing at college about the re-homing of dog?

If you could reply to these questions that would be great thanks;

How many dogs on average per year does dog's Trust have to look after?

How many of these dogs get re homed?

How long is a dogs stay?

What are the reasons a dog will be given away or found?

How are some dogs found?

What’s the worst case a dog has been found in?

How old on average are the dogs that you have

Thank you for your time,

Abbie-Rose and Jessica

Email back from Dog’s trust

  

Dear Abbie-Rose and Jessica,

Thank you for contacting Dogs Trust with your query. I have tried to answer your questions as best I can as follows:

- Dogs Trust cares for 17 000 dogs a year across our 20 rehoming centres in the UK.

- In 2015 the number of dogs successfully rehomed (and not returned to us) was 12 328.

- A dog's average stay at our centres is currently 42 days. Most of our dogs come in and out in a matter of weeks, but this number is greatly affected the number of long term dogs in our care (who have been with us for more than six months) of which there are not many.

- I am unable to provide more specific information on the reasons that individual’s handover their dogs to us, but the most common is that due to some change in the owners' life, they are no longer able to provide the care and home that the dog needs. More information on this can be found on our website here: https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/whats-happening/news/over-47-000-people-heartlessly-abandoned-their-dogs-in-one-year

- Where dogs have come to us in a less than ideal state, Dogs Trust focuses on the transformation of these dogs as they look to a better life. One such example this year was April who was found with extremely matted hair. More on this can be found here: https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/our-centres/ballymena/centre-updates/news/abandoned-dog-who-survived-the-odds-seeking-loving-home

- Unfortunately I do not have information regarding our dogs' average age easily accessible so am unable to answer this question.

I hope this information has been helpful. More information like this can be found in our annual review https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/about-us/audited-accounts-annual-reviews/annual-review/annual%20review%202016.pdf

Kind regards,

Documentary Idea.

Our main idea was to take a group of people to animal shelters and film them socializing with the dogs, have them talking about how they feel about dogs and cats and how they feel about dogs and cats waiting to be adopted.Also talk to some people who work there and ask them what its like to work closely with animals, as well as making people aware of how many animals have to be re-homed.

 Email sent to sanctuary’s 

 Hello,  

We are making a short documentary for a project at college about dogs and cats and the re-homing of them to raise awareness of this issue, we would love to feature this sanctuary, as well as some members of staff and the animals. The idea would be to bring a small group (between 3-5) and see how they get along with the dogs and cats at the sanctuary and how they feel after they have meet some of the animals as well as asking the staff some questions. The time was have to do this is from the 23rd May to the 31st May so if it would be possible to spend a few hours between these dates at the sanctuary that would be great.

 Thank you for your time and consideration
 Abbie-Rose and Jessica
