TV Scheduling

For this task we looked into Tv scheduling looking at the target audiences for terrestrial channels and the five different segments for the day which are..

There are five different segments for each day:

• Breakfast- 6-12
• Daytime-12-3
• Childrens Programmes 3-7
• Evening - ( peak/prime time 6-9)
• Watershed-9- onwards

They have diffrent target audience for each stegement. Breakfast depends on what channel you are watching. Daytime is aimed at the unemployed,elderly,housewives and students. Childrens are targeted at children. Peak/prime time is aimed at everybody and watershed is targeted at adults.

The most popular genres on television are the soaps for example easternders. Dramas for example CSI, the bill ( police dramas) reality tv for example big brother. The national and local news, childrens tv, religious programes are all complusery by the law.

The target audience for each terrestrial channel are as follows.

• BBC 1 is for everyone as it is a publuc serve broadcaster as the public pay for the liscence fee.
• BBC 2 has highbrow programming aimed a minority audience.
• Channel 4 is for a diffrent minority audience
• ITIV1 Primarily for adults
• Five Is aimed at everybody

Roughly the percentage of each channels schedule which is taken up by repeats is the BBC is around 2% they are a public server broadcaster so we don’t pay for licence fee to have repeats. Itiv1 is around 2% and BBC2, Channel 4 and five are taken up with around 50% or more of advertisement.

The channels that have the most imported programmes in their schedules are channel 4 & 5 because they are making money.

The term watershed is all programmes after 9 o’clock. So the programmes are more expletive.

Hammocking

The strategic placement of a programme between two other programmes posting a new serious between two well established shows that appeal to the same target audience of ten gives the right viewers an opportunity to sample the new serious.

Pre – Echo

Programme placed on schedule to come before a popular programme.

Inheritance

Programme placed after a successful programme in the hopes of inheriting some of its audience.

TV listing may state a programme will start at 7.30, such as Eastenders but the programme dead on 7.30 so not they can screen a trailer to a captive audience.

Today variety of channels means there’s no shared experience. There no shared experience. This is audience fragmentation. 

Feedback from put a ring on it

After we had finished our documentary we showed it to the rest of the class they gave us negative and positive feedback. This is helpful for when we start to do our final documentary. Here is the feedback that we got.

 

 

Screen grabs of put a ring on it

Put a ring on it completed video

Filimg "Its good to talk"

The filimg process

As part of the documentary process, we were given a mini task to prepare us for when we were going to create our final documentary. We were given the task to make a documentary about mobile phones. When beginning the task with my team we allocated different roles for each other Gabrielle Walsh was the camera women Steven Crane was the interviewer this made our task easy and prepared us for when we were going to create our final documentary.

 

 

 

First of all we set up the video recorder on the tripod. We made sure it was securely on the tripod and that it was in the right angle ready to start filming the interview.

 

 

We then made the director eleanor take charge and direct the interviwee in what to say when answering the questions. She also help make sure the camera was in a suitable postion to make the best shot.

 

Gabby our camera women this is her filming Steve answering the questions. She made sure the camera was positioned correctly with Steven Left or right of the frame following the codes and conventions of documentaries with his eye line a third way down the frame.



 

 

This is our interviewee Steve this is him reading a book after the question “what did you use to do before you had a mobile phone “Steve answered that he use to read more so we filmed him reading a book.

 

Gabrielle the camera women makes sure the camera is placed on the tripod correctly and still whilst filming Steven pretending to be on his phone.

 

This is Eleanor and Gabby checking the recordings that they have done so far are okay.

and up to the standard that they want.

 

 

 

Planning "its good to talk"

when plannig our mini documentary me and my team came up with a plan so that it would be much easier when it came to filiming the documentary . So we got together and decided on the title of the documantary , the music that was going to play, the location and the cutaways to go with the interviews, and the props that we will use when filming the short film. This is what our plan consisted of...

Name: Put a ring of it
Music: Pumped up kicks - Foster the people
Location: In a School classroom and libary
Props: Iphone, books , yoyo
Film cutaways:

1. Question " tell me what life was like before you had the mobile phone" - Cuts to steve (interviwee) reading a book and playing with a yo-yo.

2 . Question "tell me about you current phone" - Zooms into Steves Iphone scrolling through apps whilst talking about it in a voice over.

3. Question "Tell me about your ringtone you have on your phone and why you chose it" - Somebody calls steves phone and it reveals the starwars ringtone and he then explains his love for star wars.

4. Question "what text language do you use and how did you learn it? - Show steve texting how he texts then show a picture of the computer with msn logo showing were steve learnt how to text.

5.Question "whats the worst thing about your mobile phone" - Steve drops the phone and looks horrified he then picks the phone up to see he has not cracked the phone.

Codes and Conventions of Filiming and editing interviews

In class we compared two interviews "in the teeth of Jaws" part 1 and "Down Town Abey" we did this  to establish the codes and conventions of filiming and editing interviews.

Codes and conventions

• Framing- When filming the interview the interviewee must be left or right of the frame this is called conventional framing. They interviewee can change from left or right of the screen they do this so it break up the interview or reinforces the persons opposition.

· If the interviewee is sitting on the on the left hand side then the interviewer will sit on the right hand side. So that the interviewee is looking at the interviewer and doesn’t look down the camera lens.

· Eye line follows the rules of thirds. The interviewee's eyes will always be in the top frame.

 

· Camera is stuck steady when questions are being asked. Adjust framing- sizes of shot doesnt have to stay the same throughout the interview.

· Mise en scene reinforces what the interview is about for example when interviewing the cast of Jaws they put up pictures of sharks behind them reinforcing what the interview is about.

 

· Sit the interviewer next to a window never place an interviewee in front of a window as it causes shadows.

· You never here the interviewee ask the questions they are edited out so they only here the interviewer answer the questions. They add clips ( cutaways) to keep the audience interested breaking up the interview. They will add the clips ether whilst the interviewer is still talking so its like a voice over to the clip or when they will stop talking and it will cut to the clip.

· Archive Material is a convention of interviews. Archive material is the use of existing footage that they never used. Or when suggested by the interviewee they go out and shoot some additional footage.

· Cutaways are used to break up an interview making it more interesting. They also avoid jump cuts when doing the interview

· They always use graphics for example when the interviewee starts speaking the will out up a little box with information about them for example there name.
