Storyboard For Opening Sequence

We have sketched a storyboard for how we want our opening sequence to look. We came up with the title PersonaliTees and we are going to get this printed on to a t-shirt, we will then get someone to wear a variety of t-shirts and take them off one by one until the only one left says 'PersonaliTees'.

Mise-en-scene For Interviews

We have drawn rough sketches of how we will film our interviews in order to know how it will look before we actually film the interviews. This way we can make sure everything is right. I made the following presentation on PowerPoint and uploaded it to SlideRocket.

Questions for Interviews

The following powerpoint presentation displays all of the questions we plan on asking for each of our interviews. The only questions that are not included are from the vox pops. The questions we will ask for these is:
  • What is your favourite t-shirt and why?
  • What does your favourite t-shirt say about you?

TV Scheduling


TV Scheduling

TV scheduling is largely governed by target audience.

There are three types of TV scheduling:

1.      Pre-echo – scheduling a programme before a popular or established programme. The hope is the audience will tunr in before the start of the established programme and catch the end of the new programme and hopefully something will interest them and make them want to watch the whole programme next time.
 

(What Happens in Kavos is being shown before One Born Every Minute on Channel 4 which has proved a hit with audiences)

2.      Inheritance – scheduling a new programme after a popular or established programme in the hope it will inherit some or all of its audience.



  (Mr Selfridge is shown on ITV1 after the popular programme Dancing On Ice in order to inherit some of its audience)
 
3.      Hammocking – Scheduling a new programme between two popular or established programmes in the hope it will benefit from both pre-echo and inheritance.
 
(Cornwall with Caroline Quentin is scheduled between the two episodes of Coronation Street in the hopes that it will gain viewers who do not turn over)
Scheduling is important as it is all about getting the biggest possible audince for programmes.
The BBC needs the biggest possible audience so they are not accused of wasting the public's monry that they get from the license fee. That is also the reason that there are no game shows on the BBC that offer massive prizes. the money we give is to make TV shows not to give prizes.
ITV raises revenue mainly through advertising, one advert can raise a lot of money. Businesses use adverts in order to compete with other businesses. ITV has to justify the pricing of adverts by getting the biggest possible audience for their TV shows.
Tv shows are never shown at exactly the time thet are scheduled for. This is so the audience cataches the end of an earlier programme or sometimes a trailer for a new programme which will hopefully interest them.
Channel Loyalty
Channel loyalty existed a lot in the 1970s and 80s. Audiences would tune in and watch nothing else all evening, this meant that they stayed with one particular channel. In recent years, the introduction of digital television means that channel loyalty is no longer an issue for audiences.

Research for Documentary - Secondary Research

Secondary Research

I will now conduct secondary research for what we can include in our documentary.

Music

Music is important as this will be a way of hooking the viewer so they want to continue watching.



The song is relevant asour target audience identitfied All Time Low as one of their favourite bands. It also talks about clothes.



This song is about t-shirts and was quite popular a few years ago so the audience would recognise the song.
