Studio production pitch 2

News Studio Planning

• Topic/Issue: The idea I want to choose is celebrity news, telling the audience about what famous celebrities have been up to and the headlines and stories that have been in the media, kind of like E! News or TMZ. A presenter will discuss the top headlines of who's in the public eye for example of Kim Kardashion, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez etc. talking about their love lives, fashion and new albums/films and deals they've been signed too. The set will have a NYC background to look like it's being filmed in New York City and will professional and the presenter will look smart and stylish. 

The studio background will look like this

• It will look like Jimmy Kimmel's studio, apart from celebrity's won't be sat down for an interview it will be a host telling the audience about current events in the media about famous celebrities. 

• The presenter will be funny, confident and well dressed and stylish. This will draw more female fans into the celebrity news show because it will be aimed mostly at girls and this will make girls want to watch it more if there's a good looking funny male in a suit talking about their favourite stars. 

Themes

• Research the target audience The target audience for celebrity news is young people aged 13-25. I think it relates more to girls who are interested in celebrities lives in the media and the audience that usually watch programmes like E! News and TMZ are usually females but also males can be interested in this also because of the attractive females. "As of August 2013, E! News has an audience reach of approximately 96,472,000 American households (84.48% of households)"  Thats a huge viewing figure to prove that the news programme we would make would be extremely popular. TMZ on Youtube has 1,320,105 subscribers and 947,717,992 views.

Constraints

• I want to be able to cut to different clips of celebrities this is the vision mixers job, after the clips have played I want it to cut back to the host and it will show images of the celebrity on the background but not covering the NYC view. This could be a technical problem and they could not be able to get the timing right which would mean more takes, but if it's a live news problem it could be a problem so we would need to practise getting the planning perfect for what we want to achieve. People not showing up on time could cause problems for the production so we need to make sure that the host and crew turn up on time for practising and the final take we do. Make sure that all wires are put safely and basic health and safety procedures whilst on set the equipment that we will be using is very expensive so we need to look after it and be professional. 

Genre

• The genre of the programme is news but shown in a comedic and light way based on celebrities and their lives. The conventions of this programme is celebrity obsession, glitz and glam, style, fashion, money and naming and shaming it's a programme to show off how good these famous peoples lives are or not. For example if Lindsay Lohan is having a breakdown the show will talk about it and make jokes but if Beyonce just sold a million albums and is about to do a world tour and is pregnant with her second child it will be news to make the viewer quite jealous of their life. I think to make my programme more creative is have funny sketches or parody's of what celebrities have been doing for example get comedians to do short sketches that we will show clips of and will be generally more funny and hosted by someone with a fun sense of humour but also very good looking. So it won't be really taking it's self seriously but will be showing celebrities lives in a fun interesting way. We could also do a fashion run way with cheaper versions of celebrities outfits that can be found on the high street which teenage girls would be interested in. 

Guests/Crew needed

•  In the studio I will be one presenter who will be the main person throughout the show, 5 participants (girls) to wear cheaper versions of the celebrity clothes bought from high street stores coping celebrities expensive clothes worn in the media and at events, we would need two vision mixers because they would be an important role in the production of this news show, 5 camera operators to shoot the host and participants in different shots, 3 microphones one for the host and two for two of the girls on the runway. I would need confident and funny out there people who aren't afraid of the camera and can remember and learn a script. 

VT needed

• The VT I will use is either a celebrity parody like SNL that will make the audience laugh and will be pre filmed and edited into our production. Another idea is runway fashion cheap celebrity style steals that can be put into the production to help teenagers get the fashion for an affordable price. The host will talk about celebrities current styles and that will help us cut to the VT and will be relevant news to young teenage girls or women. 

Outline structure

•  Roughly what will happen, a draft script/step by step/three act structure outline of the programme is needed. 

Beginning: 

In the beginning the presenter will be stood infront of the studio/green screen, first they will be talking about information on the new celebrity gossip. They will be telling us about the new stories that are happening in the celebrity world and new styles, love interests and albums/films that they will be releasing. It will have 'banter' between them in order to add the elements of entertainment/comedy in order to keep the audience interested in the programme. 

Middle:

The presenter will cut to a VT of a paraody and a fashion cheap style runaway and will be funny and informing teenagers that they can look like their favourite celebrities but at a cheaper price and will show the name of the shops and prices and styles and comparing them to pictures. The celebrity paradies will show actors acting out something that is popular in the media for example Kim Kardashion's Break the Internet photo. It will then cut back to the studio and the host.

End:

The end of the programme will be the presenter thanking everyone for tuning in and will do a quick run up of who's films/albums are coming out soon and who they expect big things from this year. Also it will state some of the biggest celebrity fails and some funny paparazzi videos.

BBC LONDON BUSINESS MANAGER

This job would be a perfect job as I would be willing to relocate after I graduate for a job, this job is for a Business Manager at the BBC, it involves managing others and setting targets of BBC Online and Future Media. Working on management information reports, writing investment business cases, operating business management systems, tools and processes that add value to a business, I will learn these skills from my degree and a work placement year. This would be a great chance to use my degree as well as my BTEC course. 

This job is good because it's a graduate job Business Development Executive for a company called Pareto Law as my degree is with Law I think my degree will stand out and it's no experience necessary as it's a graduate job and they'll train you themselves whilst my degree would help me in landing this job.

     Job Adverts for Camera Operator/Producers Media Related

       

         This job description is being a camera operator for a museum £9.00 an hour and is based for you to be filming parts of the history and create documents in excel and windows. I don't think this job isn't that good because it's only £9.00 per hour and isn't being creative it's just filming around a museum and it's located in Newcastle. 

         

      

        This is the only job I found on Indeed.com that is based in Manchester and it's not a good advertisement because it doesn't even say how much you will be earning and isn't very professional, I think the best jobs to apply for is jobs at MediaCityUK using the website and applying for media jobs in London. 

This is based in London and is a 6 month internship I think this is good and possibly if you are good at the job they will keep you on afterwards. It's £19.00 an hour just for a starting salary. You have to have a degree in camera operating and film direction, film production or light/sound. This is one of the best ones I have found even though its only for 5-9 months and it's based in London. 

     

           This apprenticeship is a good thing to apply to because it's £153.84 a week and your being based at MEDIACITYUK in Salford and you'll be working with the external affairs team. You'll be working with professionals in the BBC and you'll be able to put this on your CV.

 Position: Portfolio Manager / Programme Manager

Location: MediaCityUK, Salford Quays, Manchester, North West

Salary: £50,000 - £65,000+ PA depending on experience

This is a good job if your looking into going into a programme manager 

This is a good job to apply for but you need a degree to apply.

MY UCAS COURSES

The conditional offers state I need DMM in my Media Course to get a place onto these courses I have applied for. I have applied for something not related to media because I think I would rather keep Media as a hobby rather than try and get a career in this field. A degree combining business with law is an opportunity to understand the legal structures within which businesses operate whilst gaining valuable business knowledge and skills. These business degrees cover people management, finance, marketing, business environment, strategy, as well as business and company law. I think they're are more opportunities studying Business.  

SHORT MEDIA COURSES

This course would help me because after my Media Course you can go into Media Make-Up that you can use on actors who are performing in stage shows, interviews, photo-shoots, television shows and films. The course is based at the BBC and the prices can range from £9400 and £5200.

MY SHOWREEL

MY MEDIA CV AND COVER LETTER

 SWOT

S = Strengths 

I think my strengths are completing tasks and deadlines always even if it means working in my own time to ensure that my work is to it's highest standard before the deadline. I also think listening skills I understand things straight away and can listen carefully and clearly. I think I am hard working and have creative fun and interesting ideas and can work well in a team or on my own. 

W= Weaknesses

Always being on time and not being late due to relying on buses and public transport and also feeling tired during lessons/work. Not always having the kit we need whilst creating a media project, so making sure that you always have the right equipment booked and making sure I plan things throughly.

O= Opportunities

I will have many different opportunities to improve my skills in Media because I have a lot of different units yet to finish and hopefully these will give me skills I can use later in life which will help me with university. At this age I have the opportunity to apply for jobs, apprenticeships, university courses and training courses which is a good thing because there's so much that a young person can get involved with that will give them tons of opportunities.  

T=Threats

Stopping me from achieving a job in the Media could be because there is a lot of talented more experienced and more qualified people trying to get a job in this hard business. Finance and getting to jobs without having a car is a threat because the job role could be further away from my home so it would require even more travelling. If you have lots of money you can basically buy your way into a job, having money makes money so I think I would be at a higher privilege if I had a lot of money. I don't really have a plan in action for a Media career and think of it more as a hobby but could possibly plan something in the future, pressure to work a lot to achieve means lack of social life which is a threat to some young people as they like to be social and live out their youth rather than work hard whilst their young. Family pressure, sometimes families don't believe your doing the right thing and also can pressure you into doing something you don't want to do or push you into the wrong job so it's a threat of getting confused with what other people want and with what you want to do. 

My life plan after college is to go to university at MMU and study Business Management with Law and complete my first year after that I want to study my second year abroad in New York City studying at campus, after that have a work placement year working at a Business company which can be in London for work experience and to learn more into what my career will be like, Then return to Manchester for my last year and complete my degree. After my degree I want to go travelling to broaden my horizons and mature me in life to deal and cope with different places and maybe learn a new language. After that I want to apply for jobs and would be willing to relocate for my dream job, move and work hard at my career. I think it will be easily to get work if I decide to put a lot of work in to make myself very employable and try and get a 1st in my degree. I just need to stand out and during my studying I will try my best to get loads of placements and intern to make my CV look very good so I will stand out to a company. To be a successful employee in this sector I need to have very good time-management skills, be a good leader, be confident, be wise and have a lot of knowledge that my education will give me.
