Voiceover Recording
We recorded our voiceover in the school's recording studio. The person we chose to do our voiceover is a young, female English teacher from our school, Mrs Walton.
We chose her Mrs Walton as our voiceover because we feel that her gender, age and ability to speak clearly and enthusiastically will suit our documentary topic and intrigue our target audience.
We found using the studio was strange as it was the first time we have all used it together.
Following with our own printed copy of the voiceover, we advised the speaker to pause between the different voiceovers we had written.

Voiceover Script
Drafts
*Beginning - VoxPop*
63% of females and 81% of males hold a full driving license in Great Britain. This year that number is set to rise as there are at least 150,000 people currently learning to drive.
Every driver knows the dread of being stuck behind a Learner car when you have somewhere to be and they are stalling at the lights or driving at frustratingly slow speeds. (Over Learner Montage)
Learning to drive can be a very nerve-wracking and very expensive process, so it is important that you choose the right driving instructor. (Leading into Chris Kelly Interview)
Learning to drive is a lot more than just knowing how to bring your clutch to the byte and driving safely. The theory test is difficult enough but these days its all about knowing the ins and outs of your vehicle. So whatever age you are, learning to drive is a complex process. (Montage of car parts) (Leading into 3-way interview)
Young drivers are often stereotyped as being reckless. But is it really fair to judge all young drivers just because of this stereotype they’re stuck with. Is it really always them that cause the problems on the roads? (Montage of cars)

Editing: Music
We have spent time deciding appropriate music for our documentary.
These youtube links show the choice of songs we have:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqFLXayD6e8 - Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k2D90QtZeE - Roll Deep - Greenlight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faP-B_gEElE - Madness - Driving in my car

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8pCgJAWvOI - Black Eyed Peas - Pump It
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY5bWOQzko0 - Yello - The Race

----------------
We had to have permission in order to use any of the music above. We sent emails to each of the people, using YouTube Messages.
Editing: Further Corrections
These are screenshots of corrections we have made to our project.
We looked at making a car-part montage and a collaboration of shots of vechicles. This was in addition to the learner cat montage.
We have rearranged our documentary so it sort of follows a pattern of: VoxPop, montage, interview, montage, interview, montage.
Editing: Checking Work
We needed to check our work with our teacher, to look to see if anything needed to be changed. We have been advised to redo our VoxPop again because several of the answers are not great because the eyeline of the people is not right. However, we found that even though we positioned the interviewees in the right place, they looked all over the place even though we all stood on the opposite side to them.
Also, we have decided to alter our music bed so that they flow better and reflect the topic of our documentary. I have downloaded some new music using iTunes that we can use on our opening sequence.
We need to add a few cutaways into the 3-part interview so that the audio and video can be broken up more. As well as altering the order of the Chris Kelly interview. We will move the jingle to the beginning to introduce the interview and following this will be the jingle answer.

Also, as archive material we have used the video only out of this youtube clip to accompany the Chris Kelly jingle as well as a shot of the outside of his store.

Also, we filmed some more L plates and learner cars to make the montage at the beginning more effective and relevant to the topic of the documentary.

Taking the camera out, we decided to film in different angles, parts of a car including the sound of the engine revving. For example: window wipers, mirrors, wheels and radio.
