In order to realise what a news package that is aimed at students looks like, I had to research into several different new packages to base it on the show that I will be producing in. I looked at television news shows such as BBC News, ITV News and plenty more, our news package has to be half an hour long and consist of various VT’s and a live guest which not many television news shows do and the shows that are like thatare programs like GMTV or BBC Breakfast show where they stick to the news and also include an interview with someone famous or has recently been in the paper with an amazing story, I also looked into shows that are mainly based on teenagers such as T4 and channel fives 60 second news update where they just talk about showbiz these shows are specifically aimed not to warn people about things that have been happening in the world but to keep the audience entertained by showing them footage that will keep them watching.
GMTV and BBC Breakfast are the shows that I believe are most likely to be like our news program Studio 109 this is because they are both entertaining and also intellectual although not really aiming for the same target audience that we are of 18 to 25 year olds I believe there target audience is mainly aimed at mid 30’s because of the content that is on the show.
The style of our news package production is more of a chilled back and relaxed feel where you can go and put your feet up and watch, also it is mainly aimed at people living in Manchester instead of world wide news this again makes it a bit more personal to the viewers watching, the studio set up is very basic too having a presenter sat behind a table also with the guest sat on a couch next to the presenter gives the feeling that it is aimed at students. The content in the show varies which could be seen as being versatile as it can go from filming people busking on the streets of Manchester to learning about troubles of unlicensed taxi cabs these aren’t your average important news bulletins but it could be news that interests students.
Copyright
Copyright is when you take something off either a website or a book or another secondary source of information, its basically like stealing as it wasn’t yours in the first place. It is hard sometimes when you are researching idea’s because you maybe copyrighting someone else’s idea although it can be seen as tolerable if you Harvard reference the line or paragraph that you had taken because it shows it wasn’t your idea.
Group Meetings In Class
13/02/2012 – For Sams assignment i will have to create my own VT to add into the news production after thinking long and hard into what I can do that will be different to most other people would do, i finally came to my decision that to do something that I enjoy doing, talking about things on a brighter note in the modern world you will watch most news programs and hear about the things that have happened that are of a darker nature such as killings, crimes and other horrific things that can send our country into depression. This is why I believe a bit of comedy would be perfect for the news because a good laugh helps everyone when they are feeling down. My title would be called "Laughter When All Things Seem Bad" this title straight away proves that it is going to be aiming at making the audience laugh even though the things that are happening in the news aren't comical at all
05/03/12 -After presenting my pitch to the group I believe it got a positive response off everyone who was watching and wanted to ask me more about it, I believe that my news VT is different as it can be seen as a lighter subject to typical broadcasted television news which will make it more suitable to the target audience of 18-25. I have already been researching into places in Manchester where there are open mic gigs where comedians can go and tryout comedy so have had a few plans for getting GV’s outside some of the buildings. I also have already arranged my interview with one of my mates from Liverpool who came second in young comedian of the year so will hopefully be filming my interview very soon. My vox pops I would like to get outside a student accommodation because I would want to hear the views from students because that is who we are aiming the show at.
19/03/12 – Groups being chosen – Today we where asked to sit in a circle and gather round the front of the white board as we where about to chosen into our groups where we will design a live news broadcast, the two group leaders and directors where Josh Lloyd and Ashley Artingstall they where chosen because they are arguably the best editors and on the final day there VT would have to be edited in the morning on the final day. The names of the groups where written down on the board to make sure that there was an even line so there where the same amount of people, I was chosen in Ashleys group among other people such as: Jack, Mikael, Nyasha, Luis, Fred, Erin, Andy T and Danny Jack I feel that this is a very strong group but the main problem would be attendance with everyone.
26/03/12 – Potential running order for our VT – After finding out which group we where going to be in the week before we all gathered in a group to discuss the potential VT’s that where suitable for our news production and which order they would go in. The news that we will be filming will be regional news which means that everything that will be getting filmed is too do and filmed in Manchester. We also wanted to try and fit in everyone VT into a 30 minute production this meant that every VT had to be around 3 minutes long which can be difficult considering how long some interviews with special guests can be, also with having to include 3 vox pops and a piece to camera it all can build up.
16/04/12 – Today we decided on the final running order for the show which is: Kurdish, Busking, Media Jobs, Comedy, Unlicensed Taxis, Sport, Android vs Apple, Animal Cruelty. There will also be a live interview included but we are still debating whether to get an interview for the Kurdish VT or the Busking VT also it is on our minds that for the busking VT that we get in a live band in at the end to finish off the show. We also came up with the name of our show “Studio 109” because we it is the room number where we will be filming also it sounds professional. We also sorted out each person with the own specific role and responsibilities:
Director - Ashley Artingstall
Floor Managers - Nyasha Tsikai
Vision Mixer - Jack Ware
Camera 1 – Mikael Hasanzad
Cameras 2 -Danny Jack
Cameras 3 - Luis Winder
Producer - Matty Jump
Audio - Andrew Tabner
Runner - Fred Velody
21/05/12 – Today was the assessment day where we where filming our news broadcast, I arrived at 9.30 ready to be a producer when at the last minute I was asked to be the guest on the show because non of the other guests had arrived I felt slightly disappointed because I liked the idea of a live music performance at the end with rolling credits, this meant that not only did I have to be the producer but also a guest so the first thing I had to do was to go and speak to the presenter who was Erin to find out the questions she was going to ask me. For my role as a producer I was helping with the set ideas another thing I like to do as a producer is build the team up and make them confident about what they are doing which is why is why I compliment them when they have done a good job and also before I go round and see how each of my team is doing. The order for the show was Kurdish, Busking, Media Jobs, Comedy, Guest Interview, Unlicensed Taxis, Sport, Android vs Apple, Animal Cruelty. At the end of the broadcast I felt as if we had done a fantastic job and everything had run smoothly.
