- Formal and informal news programme, presented and created by young people. Simplified down for that target audience, to make it interesting and relevant to them.
- After each story, random selection of young people are interviewed and asked their opinion on each story. Which will be VT's.
- Story's featured will be serious but still quite relevant to young people because its simplified and uses the key parts of the stories to keep people hooked. Something relevant to young people could be about education, uni students or people soon to be uni students could want to hear about stories to do with the money side of university.
- Informal news will make people want to watch, after the formal news to lighten the mood and not be all doom and gloom. Things about celebrities or something comedic or weird could be some of the informal news.
RESEARCH AUDIENCE
- Target Audience of 16 - 21 year olds because they are young adults who can understand whats going on in formal news as well as be interested in informal news to do with celebrities etc.
- An example of informal news targeting that age bracket could be the BBC3 60 second new flash between programmes. It usually comes on in between programmes that have the same target audience. Also, the presenters on this news flash are of this age bracket which automatically makes you interested because you assume that you will be interested in the programme.
- A formal news programme that this target audience could be interested in could be breakfast shows. This is because a lot of them feature stories about education which is relevant to this age bracket. They heavily feature education in breakfast news shows because people who are awake and watching at that time are usually watching before they head off to school/college/university.
- I think that interviewing young people and asking their opinion on stories can make my news programme unique because you don't really see it happening with that age group because formal news is usually aimed at older people.
CONSTRAINTS
- The target audience might not actually be interested enough in the formal element to the news show.
- Might not be able to get someone willing to discuss serious news stories.
GENRE
- The genre of this show will be factual and entertainment. It's factual elements will be the news stories currently going on in the world that are more formal and the entertainment element will be the news based around celebrities and weird stories.
- The generic conventions of this news programme are the the way the stories are shown in order of importance. Also, it has studio filmed footage and VT footage of presenters on location interviewing people in relation to the news stories.
- I will make it creative by interviewing young adults about serious news stories and getting their views on them because it's usually adults giving their opinion and people will be interested in finding out what a different generation feels and thinks about the news.
- The programme will start off with a round up of news stories. The first section will consist of all the more formal news stories, for example stories about the islamic state that are happening at the moment. During the stories, clips of people telling us about their view on them and clips or images relating to the story.
- The second section will be more informal stories, for example news about the golden globes or other award shows currently going on. During the stories, clips of people telling us about their view on them and clips or images relating to the story.
GUEST/CREW
- I will only need two presenters as most news shows only have that and they will probably be male and female. They will present together at the beginning for the round up part and then the male presenter will present the formal side to the news and then the female presenter will present the informal section to the news.
- I will need more than one camera operators and vision mixers to allow me to get different shots to focus on each contestant and also to get different angles and to keep the shots and angled varied when filming to be edited together straight away.
- I will need the presenters to be confident and charismatic.
VT NEEDED
- I will need to film VT's of people giving their opinion and views on the news stories.
- I will also use found footage or images relating to the stories.
I CERTIFY THAT THIS IS MY OWN WORK
