  • At the end we see a flashback with a orange colour correction, slightly slow me and a voice over, this shows its linear 
Men would watch this because it shows a the 'Ladly' perspective in life and men like to see that. it shows crude sexual comedy, which men also seem to like and is relatable to allot of men. Females would watch this because it shows inside life of lads. Also they might watch it just because its a comedy and people like to watch comedies. The Oppositional reading would probably older people who find it too crude and get offended easily or Parents. Parents that are over protective and scared if their children watch a TV show they might pick up Habbits etc.

Documentary Unit Evaluation

Our documentary worked in my opinion, our aim was to show people that you can eat fast, but not fast food. Like, you can eat fast and conveniently but in a healthy manor. We interviewed people who have first hand experience in fast food and selling food etc, We interviewed a Biology teacher after lesson and she gave us some insights on how fast food will have a negative influence on your life. We interviewed a few public people who eat fast food regularly and their responses were good for our documentary, it showed people are unaware because our public interviewees didn't think it would have a major life effect on them and they just thought people over exaggerate. Then we interviewed a Man who owns a stall in ashton (Bushti Cafe) He sells jamaican food, like chicken wraps all cooked in a jamaican recipe, His food was not fatty and rich in vitamins etc and he was saying that having a mcdonalds practically next to his stall really affects him badly. The Only thing that i think we could of improved was maybe the quality? Could of played around with the lighting abit more and made it better in some interviews, but besides that i thought it was fine, could of also been a little longer.
Skills i learnt making the documentary was i got to use after effects more and play with stuff i had a vague idea on but now i can do properly, like Typography.
