MY PLANNING:

My news programme will be called Dagger head. The colours that I will use are black, dark blue, light blue and the subtitles in dark blue. I will also have high tempo music drum beat. My Target audience will be from 14-25yrs, so a young and teenage audience. The movement I will have is tracking and panning and when the stories are read out will have medium -two shots.

The things I need to do:

is include voice overs for my stories of Stoke Newington school and main stories of the swimming pool, clissold park, restaurants and bars. Also construct interviews, areas of filming and also title sequence planning that as well. Such as planning the images, colours, use of effects and fonts.

Secondly I need to plan the written information for the hyperlinked pages of the main stories that my news programme consists of which will be for the homepage. Also plan the layout for the hyper linked pages. Another page saying how the company started up and the information of the last est competitions.

THE RESEARCH AND SKILLS I LEARNT:

Thirdly the research I did showed me the stories of Stoke Newington school. The things I found out were people had good and bad things to say about the use of the new building in the school. Which was the main story. Also people had problems with the computer system and couldn't log in. However the good news was sixth formers reported having a girls sixth form football team. I had extracted interviews from getting these stories, names, Quotes, and I had gotten these stories from a mixture a audience , so that I could get a mixture of points of view.

Also I had done research on News programmes such as BBC, ITV and Sky news to find out what the conventions of a news programme consists of. The things I found out were most of the programmes had iconic up and tempo music in the opening sequences, with the use of two colours which were mostly bright and iconic images . For example the use of the clock showing the time of when the news is about to be reported with the use of a bright blue colour with bright lights be reflected off it. Secondly the other conventions I found was the positioning of the stories reported was different for the local and national news of the same stories. Thirdly when the stories are being reported they are reported by the use of voice overs over video clips. Fourthly the headlines are read quick with a timing of 2 mins and When read in detail develop to 5 mins. Finally the movement of the camera in the programme is tracking at first and also panning. Also when the stories are read out there are medium and medium-two shots of the reporters.

Finally my music magazine that I did in AS level allowed me to use photo shop which helped me to me to make my magazine by adding colours such as Red and silver and also use bright fonts with titles that have effects on them such as outer glow and shadow. Also the pages software allowed me to use columns and add effects to the pictures by fading them. Te skills I have learnt from the effects , layout ect will help with my web page with the hyperlinked pages look better and professional and eye catching.

The music magazine has taught me about the conventions of a music magazine and who the target audience(TA) is aimed at and that the audience is very important and that my TA will be important for my news programme for example if the news is biased or neutral. Also the taught me that presentation is important and which i will make sure that my hyper linked pages look professional and my news programme. Also finally the use of colours in the music magazine was consistent so when doing the news programme I will have consistency and so its not so dis attracting.
