TV Scheduling
TV Scheduling
The schedule for each day can be broken down into clear segments. The cateorgries I would put them in are Early am- old people, mums and dads
___________________________
am to early pm- mums, retired, students and umployed people
___________________________
pm-6:00pm- childrens TV
___________________________
6pm-9pm soap operas, drama, news
___________________________
9pm onwards- adults
The target audiences for these segements are: early- adults and old people
middle- teenagers
late- adults and young adults
The most popular genres on television are chat shows, news, soap operas, dramas and factual TV.
The target audiences of the different terrestrial are... BBC 1- mass audience, mixed gender but mainly adults e.g Accused also some children e.g Ceebies
BBC 2- older adults, Bake Off, more specific audience niche.
ITV 1 - females in the morning- Loose Women, mass audience of night e.g A Mothers Son
Channel 4- Specific audiences at certain times, niche audiences - Deal Or No Deal- adults, The Hoobs - kids, Hollyoaks- young adults.
Channel 5 men, e.g Warships
The percentage of each channels schedules which is taken up by repeats is a thrid. This is because it is cheap and the epidsodes may be popular.
Channel 4 has imported programmes in their schedule because of wide target audience. Also channel 5 because it is more practical.
'The watershed' is when more violent or sexual programmes are played after 9pm and even more so after 11pm. This is because children are in bed.
Pre-echoing: This is when a programme is scheduled before a popular programme.
Inheritance: This is scheduling a programme after a popular programme to inheirt some of the audience.
Hammocking: This is when a programme is in the middle of two popular ones.
The impact of remote controls has prevented all of these 3 happening because you can just change the channel. Also people can channel hop.
Channel loyalty is a thing of the past because of cable, digital and sateilite, because of all these there is more trailers.

Evaluation
After the whole class watched our short mobile phone documentary they came up with some positives and negatives for our documentary to improve.
Positives- Good mise en scene for interview (Phones for you webpage on computer)
- Good framing of the interviewee (a third of the way down)
- Good choice of music (Call on me)
- Clear interview
Negatives- The music should be in the back ground fading in and out
- Camera work is shakey and need tripod
- Illustrate cutaways to show what they are saying
After looking ourselves at the documentary it was not done atall to the best of our ability. When doing our next one we need to film the interview then make sure we have planned cutaways to illustrate that, if we havent then we need to film more cutaways. We also need to use a tripod with everything we film to make it look as professional as we can. When we edit our documentary we then also need to make sure the music fades in and out properly and makes it work. Also we need to edit the interview to the best of our ability to makesure the questions are not in atall. Along with that we need to makesure the interviewee answers the questions in full sentences and doesnt respond to the question with short answers.

Editing its good to talk
We used premier pro to edit our short documentary. At first we edited out the questions being asked in the interview. Then we cut down the cutaways to then fit them into with what the interviewee is saying and to makesure it flowed. Futermore, we then added the music bed to the timeline and made it louder when there were cutaways and quieter when the interviewee is speaking. Finally we then added the text at the start and begining. We used the cutting and capturing tool which broke down the interview into the parts we needed to use for the documentary. We then used the import tool to import tool to import the music and then finally we cut out the parts of the cutaways we wanted.
Filming its good to talk
Filming its good to talk
The filming of or short documentary was an easy process. First of all we filmed the interview in our choosen location which was the media office. We set up the camera and set the interviewee in the right position and did a test shot to make sure it was correct. However, we didnt use a tripod so our filming was very shakey and sometimes not successful. We then filmed our cutaways which we done in the same location which was a break out area in school we used different camera angles such as close up, extreme close up, mid shot and long shot. We varied these shots to create a more energetic short documentary. We all took turns in recording the cutaways as we didnt want to interfer with the clear flow of the interview.

Planning its good to talk
Planning its good to talk
To plan this short documentary in my group of three we drew a story board of all our cutaway shots, we planned the mise en scene of the interview and who to interview.
Firstly, we wanted to film an I.T technician in their office due to the mise of scene of technology. However at the time he wasn’t available, so instead we interviewed a girl who works for the media department. The mise en scene of this is in next to a computer with the car phone warehouse website up which relates to a mobile phone interview. We interviewed the girl asking her the several questions and then we had to change some of the cutaways to match what she said.
The cutaways we planned are:
• Someone walking outside on there phone – extreme long shot
• A computer screen with a picture of an old mobile phone on- close up
• Stack of old mobile phone boxes- close up
• Someone holding there phone - extreme close up
• Them holding their phone – extreme close up
• Screen of apps – extreme close up
• A music playlist on someones phone – extreme close up
• Someone texting in text language – over shoulder shot
• Online mobile phone account – over the shoulder shot
• A phone getting a phone call- close up
• Close up of text language
• Mid shot of someone on their phone
• Close up of a normal telephone
We choosen the song Call on me as we thought it was relevant. This is a picture of our story board.
