Factual production for television; impartiality

Impartiality.
The BBC’s most relevant example of impartiality is in the show ‘Daily politics’. Impartiality is ‘decisions that should be based on objective criteria, rather than on the basis of bias or prejudice’. They show this in the show ‘Daily politics’ for example on this show the presenter allows everybody from every side to have a say and to voice their opinion, for example the presenter let Gabby Hensley from the guardian to voice her opinion on ‘British intelligent agency’s looked at their American counter parts before publication of that US reporter on CIA torturing terrorism suspects’ he then asked Gabby who works for the guardian then allowed Andrew Peers from the daily mail to voice his opinion, this is a clear example of being impartial as the presenter for the program on BBC is allowing not just one person to speak, the response the presenter gives also is not biased for example ‘your both singing from the same song sheet’. The reason the BBC are impartial is because it is a public service broadcaster, which is paid for through peoples tax’s, so because everybody pays for it they aren’t allowed to have their own beliefs because everybody has different. 

research; Fox news, Left wing and right wing

Fox News;

Fox news is an American basic cable and satellite news television channel that is owned by the Fox entertainment group. Rupert Murdock is the owner of Fox. Appromixely 97,186,000 American households receive the Fox News channel. Fox also owns the Sky channel in the UK so people in Britain will be getting very similar things to America, he also owns a lot of other things for example some newspapers such as the sun etc, and also television channels such as the national geographic channel. The channel broadcasts primarily from studios at the Rockefeller center in New York.

Left Wing;
 are usually progressive in nature, they look to the future, aim to support those who cannot support themselves, are idealist and believe in equality. People who are left wing believe in taxation to redistribute opportunity and wealth - things like a national health service, and job seeker’s allowance are fundamentally left wing ideas. They believe in equality over the freedom to fail.

Right Wing;

Right wing is the believing of the survival of the fittest and they believe in economic freedom, and is basically a believing for conservatives, they believe we should all look after ourselves  Right wing also believes they shouldn't pay for other peoples education or healths service they believe in freedom to succeed over equality. 


Benefit street left wing perspective;
The left wing may believe that benefits are good to have and receive so it will help them and support them in what they haven't got. They believe people should be helped by other peoples money rather than failing in life. 


Benefit street right wing perspective; 
The right wing will believe that using the benefit system isn't right, and they should be able to stand on their own two feet. They will feel that they are taking others hard earned money, they should go out and find a job and to help themselves. 

factual programme production techniques for television; objectivity

The BBC'S most relevant example of objectivity is in the show 'question time'.
Objectivity is the reporting of reality and facts without the input of prejudice and personal opinion. Question time allows people to ask the chosen members of the government different questions about various things, it also gives them a chance to respond. The response needs to include a valid point that has been tested against facts, this means the BBC are not providing the public with false information as you can see by the answers being backed with evidence.

Objectivity is included in the programme question time by allowing the different members of government to answer with their opinion that has been tested against facts, for example when Nick griffin was asked the question 'why would Churchill be in the BNP if he was alive now, and why did you hijack his reputation?' the response Nick Griffin gave included objectivity, because he used quotes and facts for example 'no other party would have him for what he said in the early days to mass immigration to this country, quote only coming from our benefit system, and in his younger days he was extremely critical of the dangers fundamentalist islam in a way which would now be described as islamifobic'. In that quote you can see how Nick Griffin has backed up his answer and has done his research to make the answer valid.

Market research

Competitor analysis. 
There are many documentaries i have found which my own will be competing with, one being 'a short documentary about Manchester musical heritage'. I will be competing with this documentary because it will include the same information as mine, and the same audience. This means it will make it harder for my documentary to receive viewings because there are many other documentaries that are on the internet and TV which are viewed daily. This means i need to take it upon myself to make my documentary to the best it can be.

Factual programming production for television; Representation

The BBC  represents Britain through their shows by giving off the different aspects and sides of Britain in a positive view. In the show "posh people: Tatler" it gives various different views of Britain as it is an episode on the magazine Tatler which has its target audience of high society respectable people. It highlights different areas of the upper class community and gives others an insight on how people live.
The magazine gives the different options on which boarding school to take your child to if you are in the high society class as it can cost upto £20,000 per year just to enrol, it also shows how young people attend the Tatler ball in which the up coming young teens of the high class get invited to in which they are potential buyers to the tatler in the future, by doing this they can be added into the latest issue of Tatler and get there pictures put on the front cover of the teen edition. By doing this the BBC are representing Britain to be very respectable and high class but the editors of the magazine are not trying to offend any of the people who may buy the edition and not be in the target audience market, as they try not to hurt the feelings or offend those of a lower class than represented in the magazine. The magazine shows how different people live in Britain especially if they have money which is giving Britain the view of being a rich and lawful country that also respects the feelings of others and is not snotty to those who are not is in the same social class as they are.
By doing this they are giving a sense of caring and thoughtful views upon Britain and even though those in the upper class of people may seem 'snotty' and posh they are infact very intelligent and thoughtful citizens of Britain that also think not only for themselves but for others, putting a light and positive effect on the views given to Britain.

Factual programme production techniques for television- Balance

Recently i watched a documentary produced by the BBC, the documentary was called 'people like us'. The documentary was produced to make people have a better understanding of those who are on benefits and want to achieve best, the documentary takes us step by step and shows us how the main characters achieve this, for example there was 3 main story lines in this documentary, one being focused on Sophie who was a mother of a young baby, the BBC allowed us to get a deeper understanding of the life that she leads, they showed us two completely different scenes, one of the scenes consisted of Sophie the mother stood with her family drinking and offering the baby some of the bottle of beer whereas the other scene was Sophie telling the cameras that she is ready to stand on her own two feet and put her name down for a house whilst playing with her daughter in the living room.

The second character in this documentary was called Gareth a young boy who had a dream to be an actor, his aim was to loose weight before his university interview. The BBC showed the background he came from and where he lived, on the other hand it showed Gareth at the gym working hard to achieve what he wanted and showed his success in getting into the university he wanted to go to.

 The final character was called Charlie who worked in his dads chippy, Charlies goal was also to become a professional actor playing a role of a 'gangster drug dealer'. The BBC showed Charlie working in his dads chippy to earn a bit of extra money and also showed his dad talking about passing the business down to Charlie, on the other hand it shows Charlie in a performance playing lead role and discussing how far he wants to get in the future.

By the BBC being balanced it allows the people being filmed to voice their opinions of how they want there life to be and how they see there future instead of living off the benefit system; in the show it gives of a negative image for all three of the characters before they are able to explain themselves, once they have talked about there situation it becomes clear that they do not want the life they have grown up in. By the BBC giving them the chance to change the opinion of the public it is allowing a balanced view of the show and the people in it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Production Research

Content;
The content of my documentary will be about Manchester music in the 1980's and the 1990's. I will be focusing on different music influenced areas, i will be doing this because it will give my viewers an insight in what community indie music is generally associated with. I will also be conducting different types of interviews about peoples music taste, i will be asking questions such as 'how has music had an influence in your life?' and many more open and closed questions. By doing this it will further my knowledge and understanding of how music effects my audiences life. From the outcome of my documentary i want it to influence more people to listen to this genre of music, and i would like to further peoples knowledge and understanding of Manchester indie music. I also want this documentary to big Manchester up, for example have Manchester known for good things.

Resources and equipment;
Some of the equipment i will be using to make my documentary will contain a tripod, SD card, and a lavlaier ear mic. The type of camera that i will be using is a Cannon 600D. I will also be needing a sound engineer, somebody to hold the mic when i am conducting an interview. I will also be needing a camera man, somebody who will be able to set the camera up for the interview, and some of it i will be filming myself.

Locations;
For my documentary i will be filming Manchester areas well known for their music, for example around salford and salford lads club, the Northern quarter, the hacienda apartments, and the well known Manchester indie clubs. I will be filming round well known places in Manchester to include in some match shots and cut aways.

Audience research.

Classification;
My documentary is going to be based on the genre of  Indie music in Manchester of the 1980-1990's. The age category i have chose to suite this is 15-50, i have chose this because this genre of music is still very popular as of now, therefore the young people will still know it, whereas the older people will remember it, and also the people that made this music will be around 50 years old.
This documentary is based on male and female, i have chosen both genders because some of the songs may mean a lot to both. This type of music is very popular so you cannot categorise it in gender.


Socio economic;
 The younger section of my audience will most likely be in full time education, for example school and college therefore music may be a big influence in their life, because they travel a lot to get to the place of education, therefore they may listen to headphones, or go to parties where music is playing. Because of them being in full time education there socio economic will be very low, if any.
The older side of my audience will most likely be in full time employment, therefore they may not have much time to listen to music, apart from traveling, but there socio economic will be rather high because they are earning, therefore they will be able to pay to see a concert if they wanted to.

Geo-demographic;
The audience of my documentary will most likely be from Manchester. There are many reasons my audience will be from Manchester, one being because the documentary is based on Manchester music. For example oasis and the Stone roses. The bands are very popular, so i may have audience from elsware but not as much as i would have from Manchester.

Media preferences;
The audience that watch my film will be most likely listen to indie music. Most Manchester music is generally in that genre of indie. therefore they will listen to mostly that type of music. My audience will most likely wear skinny jeans and Harrington jackets, which is just like a MOD jacket, this is mostly because they will want to look like there idols, which is indie music singers, therefore it is set as a trend.  Most of my audience will listen to Xfm Manchester radio station, this is because it has all the music what my documentary is based on.

Product preferences;
There are many products my audience will consume, one being clothing items. My audience will consume a certain type of clothing to match their music taste, for example skinny jeans etc... this is because they want to fit in with the genre. Another type of product they may consume is certain types of  CD's for example Stone roses, oasis etc, this is because my film is based on manchester music so they will have all their albums and music already because they are interested in the type of music.

Music research!

Rock music.

Rock music is a type of popular music in the United states in the 1950's which then developed into many different styles in the 1960's. the genre of rock and roll is heavily influenced by rhythm and blues and country music.  As time went on rock music started to change into more modern rock, for example 'The beetles'  they started in 1960 as a small band and in 1962 and grew all over the country (England). A typical rock group normally consists of 5 members. Rock music has many different instruments mainly featuring an electric bass guitar, electric guitar and drums. 

People that listen to rock music normally wear certain types of clothes, for example Mod's and rockers. The rockers was centred on motorcycling and their appearance reflected that. They generally wore protective clothing such as leather jackets and motorcycling boots. 
The mods was associated with amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing at clubs. They usually dressed in sharp modern italian clothes. 



Indie music.
Indie music is short for independent music this means it is music produced independently from major commercial record labels. Modern indie music can be classed as many different things, for example Oasis are labelled as an indie band, Oasis created their band in 1991, and became very popular over the years, and still to this day everybody knows their songs off by heart, Oasis did many great hits one being 'wonderwall' this was released in October 1995, and people still know most of the words to it. 

People that listen to indie music normally have a certain way of dressing, it is independent from mainstream. People that listen to indie normally tie themselves in with skinny jeans and clothes along the line of 60's . 

Pop music.
Pop music is short for 'popular music' it originated in the 1950's and has been around ever since. Pop music is known for borrowing different styles from other genres of music such as rock, dance, urban and latin never the less there are other elements that define pop music, for example the length of the song are normally short to medium, and they are written in a basic format. 

Pop music is normally known as the top 40 of the week, for example in 2014 it may be 'Taylor swift', Ed sheeran. There are normally labelled as pop music because it is very popular and everybody knows it. 
There are many types of pop, one being "pure pop" music, such as power pop which has been described as mixture of hard rock and melodic pop music and tends to be more aggressive than pop. This features all these elements, using electric guitars,drums and bass for instrumentation.

primary research

On my research i was very interested to see what genre of music people listen to, so i set a multiple choice question. I got a variety of results, the biggest choice was 'rock'. Rock music is a form of popular music which evolved from rock and roll and pop music during the mid and late 1960s. And the next biggest result was joint results between RnB, chart and an option i called 'other'. these genres of music are more popular types of music and more recent for example an RnB artist 50cent. 

For my second question i asked, 'How important is music in your life?' i did this question in the form of a scale, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. and i got a number of results. The highest i got was on 9 and 10, so people think music is very important in their life, nobody said 1 or 2. I went round and asked the people in my class why they told me the result they said, i asked a person what picked 9 and she said its that important because she hears it everywhere, and if your in the mood a song can change your whole day. 

I set this question as a ranking question so people have the choice of putting it in an order of their choice. Many people in this graph chose the car, people may choose this because they use the car to get to places. The second highest was public transport, this may be most likely because most students travel to college on the bus/train. 

I chose to do this question as a multiple choice question, i asked 'Does music influence the way you dress?'. 60% said no and 40%. I asked this question because from my observation some people that listen to rock music mostly wear black, and that ties in with the genre of music. 

I chose to do this last question as an open question, because many people have many different opinions of music, the question i asked i asked was 'is their a certain song in your life what you relate to the most? and why?' and i got many responses, some you can see above, there was no repeated pattern in the songs people chose. 

cut away!

A cut away is a short sequence which can be used for a number of reasons including to mask a shift in time in addition to creating a sense of time and place within a broader sequence. 

Match cut

A match cut is a film editing between either two different objects or two different spaces what link 2 shots together. 

I did this by taking a shot then stopping the camera and doing a different shot.

jump Cut

A jump cut is where you make a transition from another scene to another. You can do this by filming a scene and editing the jump cut. 

documentary idea!

Documentary.

 My documentary will be on different peoples music taste, and why they choose to listen to what they listen to, For example you can normally tell the type of music people listen to by the way they dress. I think this is a very good idea to do my documentary on because it is different and there so much in the music industry to talk about, for example there is different types of genres of music, indie, rock, pop, and many more. 

questionnaire

On these 4 graphs i have shown the results i have got from my questionnaire about bullying, i used Excel to process all my information and put it into pie charts.

The Jeremy Kyle Show - 2012 opening Titles & New Set

Jeremy Kyle is a show that attracts all sorts of people, it is on at 10:25 in the morning for an hour, the show consists of people arguing about their problems, which gives entertainment to the audience in the studio and at home.



The audience who watch this show are people that are at home on a weekday morning, this means the people that view the show will most likely not work, or attend part time employment.

The people that watch the Jeremy Kyle show are people that thrive of other peoples difficulties, and find them entertaining.

The age range for this show will most likely be 16-30, I think this because at the age of 16 children are starting to watch daytime TV instead of kids TV. and i think to 30 because that will be the age where they find it most entertaining.



This show will also appeal to students that are in part time education, for example if the students go to college 3 days a week the other 2 days they have off they may watch Jeremy Kyle in the morning because most teenagers get up at about 10am if they have nothing to get up for, therefore they will be in time for Jeremy Kyle at 10:25. they may also find it rather entertaining to watch.

Magazine analysis

This magazine cover will mostly interest people that have an interest in music, i can tell this because on the front of the cover is a picture of a band, and their band name 'Green day'.

The people that will mostly read this magazine and be interested is people that are into rock music, i can tell this because the band 'green day' can be included in the rock genre, also the title 'KERRANG' is rather sharp with lines going through it, which gives the impression of a sharp heavy rock song/music.

This magazine will also appeal to teenagers, in the age range of 13-20. The reason i am saying this is because that is the age range that listen to music the most, for example if they are sudents and they travel to college/school by car they will then have the radio on in the car, on the other hand if they travel to college/school on the bus they may wear headphones. The magazine also offers 5 free posters, and teenagers mostly have posters on their walls.
