Presentation script

Mat Leatherbarrow: Our show is called "your entertainment", There are going to be three different segments covering the areas of music, film and gaming. There is going to be one VT for the film section which is going to be an interview with a film expert talking about a specific film, one VT for the gaming section which is going to be a 60 second review of a newly released game. The last VT is for the music section and were going to look at part of a music video that is in the headlines and possibly causing controversy and discuss it.

Bilal: Our target audience will be a varied range of ages and genders certain parts of the news show will be more specific to certain ages or genders, But overall we are going to targeting younger people of both genders there are going to be two presenters one male and one female this mix helps be to appeal to all genders.

Jamie: The genre of the show is a hybrid news show because its is a mix of different topics. (Gaming, Film and Music.) The style is informal this is demonstrated by the two hosts being around the same age of the target audience, the dialogue will be more bubbly instead of serious.

Jess: This also appeals to our target audience because they don't tend to watch formal serious news programmes such as the BBC News. Look at the chart on the board, you can clearly see that it shows more 35 and overs watch BBC news than people younger than 35.

Vicky: People will enjoy watching our programme because there are many different aspects to the show that will appeal to a wide audience. For example. The films that we are going to be reviewing are more tailored towards boys.

Matt King Our theme will be set in studio with two presenters at each side of the desk, the desk will obviously not say Bookwork Corner, we will either paint over or cover it up with a black cloth or sugar paper. 

Freddie: We will have a green screen behind them with graphics on. For each Segment we do we will have props that match the theme of the category for example when we are talking about music we will have two guitars on either side of the desk, when talking about gaming we will have xbox controllers on the desk and when talking about film we'll have cameras on the desk, also on the desk we will have a cups and a laptop just to make it look more professional. 

Alex: The thing that makes our show different and fun to watch the fact that it is very diverse and covers many different topics. It has something for everyone. Also the 60 second review of gaming is kind of like a game in itself which relates to the. The interview with a film expert. We think the content in our show will not only entertain our audience but it will also attract more people to watch it because of the fact that it's so diverse.

Arran: The cast and crew that we need will be, 2 bubbly, confident presenters. Two vision mixers, A sound person and three camera men. The props that we need are two guitars, two gaming consoles and two film cameras.

News: What is it?


  • Information
  • Learning
  • Important events
  • Formal or informal - For example the 10 o'clock news. Informal - This Morning, Celebrity news, MTV news. Why do people show news in an informal way? The demographic of the channel is younger
  • Television, News Papers, Radio, Family members, Internet. 
  • Dull
  • Gossip
  • Knowledge 
  • Factual information 
  • Accessible everywhere - lots of different ways that you can consume it

Schools news story becomes news if:

It can affect you this is why it's important. Relevant or affect you. They are creating an element of panic. 

Nuclear why is this news:

  • Cause they are a big company. 
  • Got taken money off of them. (9 billion) 
  • It's news cause it's about money. Outrage. 
  • Nuclear energy is big/important. 
  • Creating a sense of panic. 
  • Local news - relevant news. 

Video of paris gunman raises questions of affiliations. Relevant cause it's in Europe. It creates panic and upset cause it was a mass terrorist attack. 
MI5 chief warns al Qaeda in Syria planning mass attacks on West. Creates panic and alerts people in the UK. It's relevant to people in the UK. 
UK report on Libyan troop sex attacks says security was inadequate. Creates panic. It's local. 'Sex attacks' and 'Rape' gets your attention. 
Up to 70k homes without power as storms hit Britain.  It could affect you. Or the elderly. It's as close as Scotland.

Unit 23/4 assignment 2 (Individual proposal 2)

Topic/Issue: Gaming news show informing people of gaming news. Shot in a formal type way, talking about big gaming news stories from the week. Focusing on new games coming out, updates in existing games, and also business gaming news. (E.G this person bought this game from this other person) My hope for this programme is that people can be educated about the business side of gaming as well as just knowing what games are coming out and what updates are coming out within those games. I hope that this programme will inform them on the business side of gaming in a fun and interesting way. I also hope that maybe in the programme there will be an audience participation type of segment where people can go online and either tweet with a specific hash-tag giving their input on the show or they have a website where people can comment and they will reply to certain comments/tweets in the next show. 

Set





Presenters



Themes





Research the target audience: My idea is taking bits from an online web show. 'The Patch' and 'The Know'. The kinds of people that watch that are ages from about 15+ to any ages after that up till about 50 years old. I know that my idea would be popular with said ages because the viewing figures are from all of those ages. Also it would be popular with a wide spectrum of people regardless of race, gender or age because certain demographics show that there's an equal percentage in peoples ages who play games if the ages are split into 3 groups. Under 18's, 18-35's and 36+ (see diagram below) I'll mainly be targeting 63% of my audience (The under 18's and 18-35 years) because the average game player age is 30.

Constraints: The constraints might by trying to find a way to talk about business gaming news in an entertaining way, we need to be able to find energetic hosts that can carry the show and make it flow nice. If not then the show will just be boring and not enjoyable to watch. I'll overcome this by maybe auditioning hosts.


Genre: The type of programme I'm making is an informative, fun news programme. Typical conventions of an informative, fun news gaming programme are :

  • Brightly coloured set. 
  • Quite lively hosts. 
  • The camera is usually quite free and moves around with the characters, although I think my camera will be stationary as the hosts are presenting to the audience, either that or they'll turn to one camera and then it cuts to them as they face another camera. 
  • Sarcasm when the host is speaking seen as this is a news show.

In mine we'll get the hosts being quite opinionated, basically playing off what the other person says.


Guests/Crew needed Make a list of people you will need in the studio (presenter, participants, vision mixer, camera operators, number of microphones) What sort of people would you need to be in the programme?

Guests/Crew needed: 

  • Presenter (two)
  • Vision mixer
  • Camera operators
  • Two mics
  • Sound
I would need two sarcastic naturally funny presenter(s) 

VT Needed: People are doing timed 60 second reviews of games. They have to review everything they know about a game (their opinions) hitting key points within the time slot. 

Outline structure:

  • Introduction "Hello and welcome to _______ my name is _____ and this week ______
  • Jump into the first gaming news story make sarcastic comment talk to the camera maybe rhetorical questions, give their opinion on the news story. 
  • Turn to the next camera talk about another gaming news story maybe show a clip of said news story. 
  • Turn to the next camera talk about the last news story, more sarcasm, funny humour etc.
  • Maybe review a game
  • Show what people have said about the show in the past week (Comment on comments basically.)
  • Exit, "This has been _____ with me ______ good bye and see you next week"
