Voiceover Recording

Here are photos of us recording the voiceovers:



























Opening Voiceover
In Britain on average a person eats 4.2 sandwiches a week. Sandwiches have been getting a bad press lately with the popularity of fast food sandwiches growing, such as Subway and the McDonalds deli menu. The sandwich industry itself is fast growing now employing over 300,000 people but is it the perfect lunch or is it responsible for the deteriorating health of the nation?

Before nurse
Although the sandwich strives to be a healthier alternative, do we really know what goes in to our favourite products and what are the healthy benefits we get from them?

Before dinner lady
Jamie Oliver has took up the cause of improving the nations school dinners, but with all this media attention are they really as healthy as they are made out to be?

Before food tech teacher
Results show that when it comes to food children would rather have the unhealthy option because it’s easier and supposedly tastier. However schools are the fore front of trying to educate children that healthy doesn’t mean boring and tasteless.

The sandwich is a firm favourite of the british diet weather it be a bacon and egg sandwich, chicken salad or even peanut and crisps are love for sandwiches is as great as ever but is the sandwich the cause of the nations health problems or is it the best thing since sliced bread?

Creating the Newspaper Advert

The codes and conventions of a Newspaper Advert are:

• It must be in A4 Landscape so it can fit into many sizes and be transfered to things like billboards etc.
• It must have one main image that is striking and sums up the programme as best it can.
• The text must include the programme title, the slogan, the scheduling and have the TV companies logo aswell.

Here are screen grabs of the editing process we went through to create the Newspaper Advert:
