Evaluation

The aim of our ChildLine campaign was to raise awareness about bullying in school and domestic violence or controlling relationships so young people who may go through this speak to someone about their issues rather than keeping it to themselves. It is also to inform people who around our target audience about issues that may be going on with them.

The audience were supposed to feel sorry for people who go through this and feel a need to help whereas, the target audience were supposed to feel like there is always someone there for them. I feel like we didn’t fully achieve the aim we wanted to because in our campaign video, although we put ChildLine’s number at the end of the video, we didn’t show any of our characters seeking help which may have left the target audience confused.

Our original campaign idea was that we were going to have 3 separate characters Chantelle who is getting abused , Jerome who was being cyber bullied, Masood who was trying to fit in the crowd but wasn't liked and Josephine who had been bullied by the other three as  they couldn't  talk to anyone about their problems so ended up taking it out on another person. we decided to change our idea because we thought it was too complex which would mean doing a lot of filming and needing a lot of characters. Instead of doing this, we decided to get rid of two storylines as this would make it easier for our group to get things done.

As a group we had many strengths as well as weaknesses. some of our strengths were that we were able to divide our pre production tasks between ourselves and get them done for the deadline so we were able to start shooting quicker. we were also able to agree on changes and other decisions so there was no conflict between the group. a weakness is that towards the end we stopped being organised and we started losing focus so we werent able to film everything the way we wanted to film.

when we began filming it was alright and it went well as we had everything under control and we were able to read from the script and get our charcaters to act out. we made a few mistakes with each shot so we shot them a couple of times and we also filmed from different angles so when editing we'd hyave more to choose from and edit together. our actors made it easy for us to shoot as they were always available when we needed them so we were never let down by any of them. Our whole group was always involved, nobody was left out and we decided on changes whilslt filming whch made our storylines better.

when we were editing, we all got the chance to edit and add our ideas to how it should be. we had a range of shots to choose from so we cut diffrerent parts of some of the shots to make it shot reverse shot so we could get emotions and reactions of all the charcaters. we added some transitions in to make it look better and effective. we slowed down the visuals when looking at the victims faces so that the audience can take in how they would be feeling. at the end, we added the childine logo so people would know who to contact and also know which organisation it was incase they wanted to get extra information.

Audience feedback.

TASK 2B

Stamp Out Stigma poster.

The purpose of this poster is to inform the audience about their campaigns existence and to let the audience know how serious the issue is whilst promoting it. The poster communicates with the audience as the background is an image of the victim which acts as if the victim is speaking himself. this communicates with the audience AS WE CAN SEE HIS FACIAL EXPRESSION SO there IS visual evidence of how people feel when going through what he is going through. the target audience of the poster are the public as the organisation would want as much help as possible.



The message they are sending is that there are people out there that are in need of help from the public. this has been shown through the use of text below the image describing the victims feelings and ways they can help. The mood for the poster is serious and dynamic. this is so the audience don't get distracted and focus on the main points of the poster. This is also so that the audience can have an emotional reaction to the poster which may persuade them to help.

The genre of this poster is non-fiction as it is about a real thing. the brand identity for this is formal as it is a serious thing so the organisation have made it to be plain. The purpose of the poster has been achieved by  making the point of focus the background as it draws the most attention and also speaks the most feelings. The organisation use dark colours to connote the sense of vulnerability but there has been red used to contrast against the dark colours for the text so they are easy to read.

Stamp Out Stigma website.
The purpose of the website is to give the public more information about the campaign that they may need to know. it is also there as another platform for the audience to view the campaign and learn more about what they are about. They have the same audience as the poster and the moving image campaign as they are different forms of promoting platforms for one organisation. The mood from the website is different from the mood of the poster as the poster is to catch the audiences attention whereas the website is where the audience may go to find extra information. the websites mood is calm and relaxed. this is as the audience are now familiar with the organisation. The brand identity here is friendly so that the audience can feel calm and like they are part of the organisation.

the colours used are white blue and pink. this is as white is a neutral colour and blue and pink are colours which represent males and females so the organisation are trying to make the audience feel welcome and neutral whilst using the website. The font used is a basic simple font as the website is more to do with informing the audience rather than presenting.





Stamp Out Stigma Moving image campaign.
The purpose of the video is to give the audience an actual idea of what their victims go through on a daily basis and all the emotions they may feel. The mood and atmosphere of this campaign is frantic and upbeat. this to represent how the victims feel and give the audience an idea of how they may actually feel inside which contrasts with how they look on the outside. this campaign is formal and serious to get the message across to the audience. the voices of the victims have been added as voice overs which adds to the video as the audience can hear how they feel in their voices and adds to the reality of the campaign.  In the background, there are ambient sounds to which add to the feeling of the characters feeling insecure. In the video, there are close ups used so the audience can see how the characters feel through their eyes. The genre of the video is factual as the the video has been made up on real facts to appeal to the audience.
