Action Plan


Week 1 
Think about which genre I might do for the project. Also, look at the different programmes included in the timetables for each channel over the week and get a better idea of which channel would be more appropriate. 
 
Week 2 
Focus mainly on researching the difference between the two channels and their preferences in genres and production value/quality. Also look at the differences in the time slots at each channel and which slot would be more appropriate depending on the genre and if the slot alters what can be included in the show. 
 
Week 3 
Watch an episode of a programme in the genre you're thinking of doing and then do a textual analysis of the episode including the general codes and conventions of the genre included and the mise-en-scene used. Also mention the representation and narrative and some detailed analysis of specific shots. Do this for two other programmes as well. 
 
Week 4 
Make a table with different audience profiles for each different genre you're thinking of doing including demographic and things such as interests, occupations, education, race, religion, location, magazine preferences etc. Maybe create a questionnaire for millennials to answer to achieve a better knowledge of what would interest the target audience. Once this is done, decide which genre would be best to do looking back at your research and what you feel is most accessible. 
 
Week 5 
Once you've decided your genre, do some research into your selected channel and its previous shows in the same genre and target audience range. Also do some research into the genre itself and find out the classic codes and conventions are used in shows of that genre. You could also look at how shows in the same genre have typically been displayed on lifestyle magazines.

Evaluation

Overall, I think the Audio-Visual aspect of the coursework could have gone a lot better. I was happy with the narrative and what I got filmed but I struggled when it didn't reach the required time limit. Therefore, I had to rush to film some more footage and edit it together to make the title sequence which I wasn't too pleased with. There's also a lot of fillers between the dialogue as the people playing the characters weren't too confident with the script. I felt a lot better about my magazine cover as I think I used a lot of the magazine conventions that I wanted to use. I think my double page spread was maybe a bit too overcrowded but I wanted to make sure I could fit in some stills of the programme in order to have more convergence between the two products. I also feel a lot better about the main photos used for the magazine as they had direct eye contact with he audience whereas the ones I previously used didn't.

Possible Location 2

I personally think this location is better than the previous one as it has more open space and a clearer entrance. It is similarly derelict, contributing to the atmosphere and tone of the scene. Also, it is also clearly in a rural environment, so stays with what I wanted for the mise-en-scene. However, it is quite close to some allotments so there may be people nearby making some noise but it shouldn't be too distracting.
