Unit 2 & 3 Task 2

Primary research

The TV production I chose was ‘E! News’, this is because it tells all the news, but tailored to a younger audience this being ’18- 34’ year olds.
The length of episodes varies from one hour long to two hour long productions. From Monday to Friday there are three different news screenings; on Saturday only one and on Sundays no news is shown.
They talk about fashion, celebrity gossip, movie awards, music awards, cat walks, music and more gossip topics.  
Each segments vary from 25 to 30 mins, then a 5 min break.
In the adverts they are promoting products, people and other shows, they have target audience specific adverts. 
There are a variety of sets, mainly modern with clean interior design. These sets incorporate modern art and contradict the typical news set, by having character to them. This helps in keeping the audience's attention.

Its aired in, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Philippines, India, Latin America, Asia and Canada.


Match of The Day 2 Extra - Week 11

 Visual Codes:
Its set in a studio, with a formal layout. This is because the majority of the viewers are young to middle aged people. The furniture is very modern, with newspapers and mugs spread across the table. this gives it a work like visual, so the audience can connect with the presenters. There costume is smart, smart casual with all four reporters wearing a poppy and shirts and there hair styles are smart. This shows that they care about there image, this is heterosexual traits. The background is a window into another studio with workers and TV monitors. This shows that they are always working. The background also had bright colours on monitors, these are nice to the eye and catch the audiences attention. The presenters are having a relaxed convocation about football, one of the presenters are an ex football player, one is an active football player, one is the chief football correspondent for the times. This is useful because they are ex or current football players or reporters, so they know what they are talking about.



 Camera & Editing:

 There are a variety of shot types these include; close ups, medium close ups, medium shots, two shots and noddy shots. The variety of different camera shots help the audience feel like they are part of the convocation. The camera pans a lot when the presenters are talking, this gives the show a continuity effect to the show. This reinforces the fact of it being a live show. There are minimal cuts with longer shot lengths, this further adds to the continuity and reinforces the fact of it being a live televised production. This further ads to the fact they are trying to make it a nice convocation about football and the football headlines.



 Sound:

There is mostly live dialogue between the four producers. This reinforces the convocation format they are following. There are pre-recorded scenes when a narrator is talking over highlights of a football match, this also includes the match commentary. This is impactful because it makes the audience feel like they were present for the match. The presenter has scripted questions but the answers are all natural and unscripted.

Multi Choice Game

The Walking Dead - Game  The Walking Dead has a interactive storyline which makes the game more fun, this is because the choices you make will verdantly effect you in the future. From small choices such as, "Say hello" or "Ask whats happening" to "Help Duck" or "Help Shaun". This makes the player feel so much more involved into the story line. There are a maximum of four options to choose at one time but can be three or two. Through the interactivity you can grow close to other  characters, or become distant from them.

Applying Media Theorys To My Media Project

1A. Props Character Theory In Alice's story she had some of the characters from  Vladimir Propp's Theory, these being the hero ,the villain, the helper ,the donor and the princess. Alice is represented as the princess and the hero because she doesn't want to drink the alcohol and drinks water: Princess. Because you follow Alice's journey she represents Hero.  in addition Alice informs the other characters they should be in class. Henry is the villain because he spikes her drink with a drug and also Punches her. Callum plays the helper because he comes to the aid of her when she is pushed furthermore he invites Alice to the party this also makes him be the donor. The production does use some of the characters, but on the other hand not all of the character types are used, this is because the crew used, was not big enough to cover all characters. 1B. Todrovo's Theory My story has the same equilibrium/ disruption/ new equilibrium structure that Todrovo outlines
