Exam Revision

Exam research for PPE 1
Research 

The Tv News programmes that I have chosen to research are Channel 4 News and Sky News


Channel 4 News
The Title for the first TV News programme that I have chosen is Channel 4.The main presenters that present everyday at 19:00 is Jon Snow.The first bulletin is broadcasted on the 9 December.The main story is about  damning Senate investigation reveals that the CIA's response to the 9/11 attacks was torture that was far more brutal than the politicians ever knew, and also largely ineffective.The isn't a lot of animations during the News show.The is a little bit at the beginning when the title appears and also the main Channel 4 News Soudn comes on.The is also short videos of the main story. .The are websites links at the end of the news.The is also a different website link for the weather.The Channel 4 also includes twitter names ,so that the audience can follow them and find out updates about the news.I think that Channel 4 attracts their audience by putting the main story first and than making the audience wait to hear more about it.Also the the short and serious videos could persuade the audience to wait and see what happened and how could that effect the future.

The second bulletin is broadcasted on the 10 December at 19:00.The first main story that is covered is about the 'Weather bomb' in the North West Scotland and Northern England.The winds between Britain and Ireland have been up to 140 ph.The second story is about The CI biting back against  accusations that had turned rogue over torture.Also today in the news about half of the UK being on pills,from stains to antidepressants and also UK is becoming more like America in attitudes about abortions.However,the is some animation right at the beginning of the News,of the main title.Also the are short videos of the main story.The are websites links at the end of the news.The is also a different website link for the weather.The Channel 4 also includes twitter names ,so that the audience can follow them and find out updates about the news.I think that the things that could possibly attract audience is the video footage of the 'weather bomb' because they look serious ,this could drag their attention because they want to find out what will happen in the future.



The third bulletin is broadcasted on the 11 December at 19:00.The first main story that is cover is about the progress being made in fighting Ebola, a year after the first case in West Africa.The second story is about how to tackle the child abuse onile and also in todays news about the Ukip's latest embarrassments.However,the is some animation right at the beginning of the News,of the main title.Also the are short videos of the main story.The are websites links at the end of the news.The is also a different website link for the weather.The Channel 4 also includes twitter names ,so that the audience can follow them and find out updates about the news.I think that the things that could possibly attract audience is the video footage of the 'weather bomb' because they look serious ,this could drag their attention because they want to find out what will happen in the future.

Sky News
The first bulletin is broadcasted on the 9 December.The first story is about sky joining the police team hunting child abusers.The second story is an Interview: Matt Ogston's Partner Took His Own Life After Coming Out As Gay.The third story is about an Accident that happened on M25.A fatal lorry has crashed.


3) Research the institutions behind your two TV News programmes. Find out the following for each:

The Channel 4 News programme is owned by Channel Four Television Corporation.Channel 4 News makes money mostly through the sale of on-air advertising, programme sponsorship, and the sale of any programme content and merchandising rights it owns, such as overseas sales and video sales.The institution behind Sky News is Sky plc and sky news is distributed worldwide by Fox International Channels.The way that Sky News make money is by the sale of advertising.


I think that the target audience for Channel 
4 News and BBC News would be older teenagers and adults aged from 18-35.


Planning


1) Brainstorm ideas for a new TV News programme aimed at young people. Plan out the following:


The title for my own TV programme is called Teen Wall.I have chosen this title because the word 'Wall' can link to Facebook and i think that if the teenagers how a news programme that is similar to Social Media they would watch it more.The Channel that my News would be broadcasted on would be Sky News and it would go from Monday to-Friday and it woudl also be broadcasted on Sunday.At the time of 18:00.I have chosen this time because most teenagers watch TV at this time of the day on the working days.The length of the New would be 30 minutes because i believe that it is not too short and not too long.Also i believe that it all the important news stories would be able to fit in the time of 30 mintues.The presenters that i have chosen for my News would be Chole Potter and Gemma Morris,because I believe that if the News presenters are young ,the teenagers would watch it more often.

The colour scheme that I have chosen for my News programme are red,blue and grey.I think that those colours go well together and would attract both genders of the teenage audience.The types of news that the programme will cover will be mostly to do with teenagers.However the wont be alot of news about politics because politics dont really involve teenagers and also teenagers are not interested in them.Also the will be some news about the social media that will be telling the teenagers if the are any porblems to do with them or if the are any updates.The News programme will also include videos that the teenagers can send the studio,that are to do with the current news story.Also the will be a Facebook page for the News programme,where the teenagers will be able to comment their opinions and than they will be discussed in the News.

Exam Research for PPE 2

The title that I have chosen for an TV News programme is Teen Wall.I have chosen this title because the the younger audience it could link to social media website called Facebook.This could attract the teenage audience as well as the older audience.The time that the TV News programme will be broadcasted is at 5:30.I have chosen this time because most of the audience will be back home from work or school at around that time.The days that this TV News programme will be broadcasted on is Wednesday and Sunday.

The length of the TV News programme would be around 30 minutes because the younger audience won't want to watch it if it is longer because the might find it boring.Firstly,the presenter will tell general News and than the weather will be presented and at the end of the News ,there will be sport.I will also have 15 minutes where the audience will be able to tweet their comment on twitter using the hashtag #teenwall and they will also be able to write posts on the Facebook page.

The presenters that I have chosen to present in the Teen Wall News are Chloe Potter and Gemma Morris.The types of News that the programme will cover is Sports News,Weather News,Educational News and the UK News.

The first example of News that I would include in my TV News programme is about the 3 British schoolgirls who are believed to be trying to join up with the Islamic State.The second example of News that I would include in my TV News programme is boys aged 13 and 14 killed in a crash.I would include both of those stories since it includes young people and this would also show that it could of have happened to everyone.The third example of News that I would include in my TV News programme would be about a Watford fan that is in a critical condition after being attacked by a gang in Wolverhampton.

The colour scheme for my news would be grey and green.The logo that I have chosen for my TV News programme would be a capital T next to a W in grey with a green outlineThe ways that I will package my news is by having a video to go with the news while the presenters are talking about it.The will also be an animated screen behind the presenter while they are talking.At the end of the News the will be links for people that want to visit the site and leave comments.Also well as hashtages for twitter and links to social media.The will be also an animated logo of the channel that the news will be broadcasted on right at the beginning on the programme




  • How you will package the news - video, images, graphics, live links, interviews etc.
  • How the opening 60 seconds of the programme will run.

3) Plan how you will use modern technology and e-media (social networks, websites, YouTube etc.) to promote your TV News programme. Also consider how you can use technology to make your programme interactive with opportunities for the audience to submit photos and video and comment on the issues covered.
