Unit 27 - Production schedule

My dead line to finish my production schedule is in about five weeks.  

Week 1

I have successfully planned on how much time I should spend on making my documentary. I believe that I have done enough research for my documentary and I believe that I’ve almost finished my scrip. My script and the entire thing that I plan to talk about in my game documentary are all pretty much organised. The last thing that is left is ending my conclusion with an objective ending to make the audience come up with the own conclusion on video games.

As I'll be using expository in my documentary my face won't be in it shown in the documentary and the audience will only be able to hear my voice through out.  I'll only be use only be using two location through out my documentary and the rest will I'll be using archive footage for my documentary to explain my points while I am talking about the subject of games in my documentary.

Week 2

Overall I have to spend time trying to interview people in the public. I have already planned at that on Saturday from 2pm to 4pm I’ll be going to Namco funscape arcade as this would be a perfect place to interview people that play games and get their opinion on games. 

The other location will take place at my own house where I'll also be interviewing people close to me friends, parents etc.  Most likely I'll be doing a whole interview in day at my own house on Friday from 12pm to 7pm as I have already asked and have gotten permission that I am allowed to interview people I want. 

Unit 27 Risk Assessment

As my game documentary will be purely expository will be I’ll only be using more using my voice so my voice won't be shown. I also plan to only use about two locations. The two locations taking that will be in the documentary will be taking place in my own house and a public location called Namco Funscape.  The is a really low risk for things to go wrong in the documentary and very unlikely that anyone will get hurt during the making of the documentary either. I will most likely be taking a bus to go to Namco funscape as it is a bit a far.  There may be some risk while heading towards Namco funscape. There might be a car crush while I'm in the busy which may hurt passengers and me. 

Unit 27 - Docudrama sub genre of factual TV

Docudrama - Documentary drama are generally based of real life facts that have happened.  These documentary doesn't have much commentary from the narrators stand point as it avoids that so the audience can be engaged as much as possible in the docudrama. The appeal would be people having arguments and fights which audiences like because they are really nosey as people find it appealing to see other peoples personal problems on the big TV screen.

Biopics - Biopics are movies which are based off of real life events that have actually happened example of a movie would be open water which has people in shores of Australian on a boat that has sank. The appeal here would be a story simply being based off of real life events. people find amazing for something's that happened in the past ridiculous and terrifying to some. These biopics are also done realistically and possible following the real life event making it all the more appealing and engaging.

Docusoap - Are usually celebrity be recorded to their day o day life. It may seem boring to most people but to people that are a fans to such celebrity they might find out more about the celebrity that they are so passionate about.


Reality TV - Reality TV usually show the lives of celebrities and what they go through day to day bases.  The makes the audience aware and also relate themselves to a celebrity on reality TV. Example of reality TV would be meet the Kardashians


Infotainment - Infotainment is a mix between being informative while also being entertaining to the audience. Humans have a habit of being really curious which is why we also seek for knowledge as humans we also get really bored easily and a way for us to entertain ous selves would be from humours any sort.  By putting these two together you get infotainment which is the best of both worlds.

Wild life - planet earth usually with just a narrator voicing everything that is happening in the on screen planet earth is a perfect exam as it tell a story through what is happening on screen which is real footage of nature taking place in real life.

Educational 
Education shows are for the sole purpose of feeling people with interesting facts that appeal to people like to learn things.

Make over
Make over are TV shows which has something changing.  This amazes the audience and see how talented the TV makers are a t at doing make overs. Examples would be the TV snog, marry,  avoid. It makes people consider changing them selves for the better from watching a show like song, marry , avoid.

Review show
Review shows are critics that review a product. The appeal of this is that people get an opinions of the critics. This makes the audience think and consider that the person has said about a product. For example if a critic was to review a movie and say over it was bad and gave their reasons to why. The audience will mostly likely come to their own cons

Unit 27 - My focus group and evaluation

Evaluation 

I the points that my group had made about making my documentaries how I should try to interview both genders instead just interviewing. Even though my documentary is about games and mostly targeted at audience I think its a fair point to at least try to get women’s opinion in my documentary I could interview some that play game and some that don't and what they think of video games as a whole.

Unit 27 - New package evaluation

My group was pretty big and consisted of about 5 people.   At first I didn't have a group to work with, as I wasn't assigned to be in one. As I was not there on the day when everyone had a group.  So I missed out on one day of lesson. Once I was filled in with the details that we had to make a parody of the news.  My team came up with the idea have being a parody of the BBC news as almost everyone in Britain know about it. We watched a few clips with the BBC news as none of my group member watch the BBC news on a daily bases.

My team kept on arguing amongst each other on who should do what. Almost no body wanted act in the BBC parody. As we were running out of time I volunteered, as I didn't mind being recorded and some and some of our group members seemed to be very camera shy.  As it was a parody my team kind of did slack a bit and we when we kept on getting dialogues wrong some my team member deiced that they didn't want to act no more. I didn't feel like the line was so hard to remember as it was just a small script that had with me. Even though it took me a while to remember the script word by word I think I did pretty well for my self. 

What we had done well as a new package parody was make look very unprofessional. As I was the news reporter I was speaking informally to the audience along with wearing clothes, which wouldn’t suit a news reporter, as people wouldn’t take the news reporter seriously in real life TV. I also walked off the stage while being recorded this would have looked very unprofessional  if it was done in the actual news report as you never actually see a news reporter ever leave the stage when ever they are being filmed.

New package Parody evaluation

The process for my team and I to do the news parody was pretty simply. My team and I don't watch the news much but we got inspiration from watching the most popular new channel in the UK BBC news. We used a green in order to get the background of the BBC news studio. My team and also edited the so that we could get the intro of the BBC news to make seem as if it was the real BBC news channel.

My team kept arguing among each on who would be the camera man or women and the editing as no body to act in our video and seemed camera shy.
