1: Is your production a reflection of the issues or a solution to the issues discussed in your Critical investigation.
(With explicit examples - discuss how)
My production was a reflection of the issues I explored in my critical investigation. Physical appearance was one of my issues I explored. My production was a reflection of an issue that I explored rather than a solution. In my critical investigation I wanted to investigate whether media influence is a positive or a negative thing. After investigating I wanted audiences to realise how much media influences audience. 
By expressing how the media portray beauty, I wanted to ask the audiences questions to make them think instead of giving them something to solve.
For example - Beauty.. Are you obsessed? was a question given to the audience to make them think if maybe they are obsessed or someone around them is, giving them something to think before the public service announcement starts.

    I think in the PSA a lot of new technology was used which had to be learnt along the way, for example voices overs and extracting audio from a clip. By making a documentary in GCSE the software was used before, but making it look like a professional was hard work. For example when filming for the production, a similar background was used for each person, but the lighting was different for some. Adjusting the colour, saturation, white balance, to get each persons colour perfect was hard. After finding it wouldn't work, applying black and white filter, then changing the saturation, white balance was a better and more professional option.
When editing the production multiple different versions of iMovie was used, as iMovie HD has special effects they were edited in before we transferred it to a higher version which didn't have special effects.

    A lot of different Public service announcements where watched before making a final production. From the demographics; (13-19) when looking at the PSA it was decided that it had to be funny in some places to get the audiences attention. From a young age a serious matter is never really engaged with, and something has to catch their attention whether it being music or comedy. PSA's are not very popular within Television, if they are shown they are usually shown on Youtube. PSA's which was looked at where Texting While Driving PSA, The Cove PSA - My Friend is...., 3 Funny PSA's and more. Mixing both funny and serious issues together made it more engaging to the demograhics.

    As my part of the production was to raise awareness about physical appearance, I had to have a good understanding of why the media potray beauty like it. Most of the time media potrays beauty as being fake and photoshopped when that isnt really the case.
