Planning: pros/cons

  1. The first idea was a tv news programme that imitated an existing programme like CNN or BBC news. This would allow to use conventions whilst also challenging existing conventions- creating new ideas to make it more youthful by engaging with my target audience who I concluded would be people from aged 15-25 a demographic of working students with education and a social life outside of school.
Advantages: 
I would be able to present a TV programme already shown however put  my ideas too so that it would change slightly. 

Disadvantages:
It would need a lot of equipment and thought in order to make the programme look professional. 

 
  2. The second idea was to create my own tv news programme with people discussing news. The purpose of this idea would be to discuss news instead of the tradition of reporting just feeding people with news, by discussing you provide a welcoming approach to the viewer as you are able to engage with them. The broadcasters would also allow people to contact the studio if there are any topics that the person wants discussed on the news. This idea was to challenge codes of conventions whereas the first idea was to use existing codes of conventions.

Advantages: 
Be able to make a TV news programme that is youthful that is not already shown on TV programmes and my target audience would be from those aged 15- 25 
Filming would be done outside of school so I would be able to show another side of teenagers outside of school and present different locations. 

Disadvantages:
I would need to engage a lot with my intended audience in order to know what is missing in the market for TV programmes
  
 3. Focusing on a particular lifestyle of an individual in a western culture, the focus would be on a teenager around the age of 16-18 who is underpriviledged, living in a hostel and have to find a way to achieve their dreams of going to university and the situation (environment) that they are in- filming the journey of how the tenager is able to work hard and not allow the place they live in to define their destiny in life.

Advantages: 
This would enable me to show the different representations of children living in the UK and also bring awareness to the many children that are homeless. 

Disadvantages:
There are shows that are being shown on TV that show the bad situations of teenagers which is often shown in the media.  

 4.  Another idea I had for the documentary was to reinact the life of a celebrity similar to the programme from Rags To Riches. This would show how celebrities endure hardship and work hard in order to become the people thay are, a side that is not often shown to the public.

Advantages: 
To be creative and dress the actors in the style of a chosen celebrity 

Disadvantages:


5.  I had another idea to do a documentary which would focus on teenagers and their school life. This is the idea I would be likely to do because it is easier to film students in school and show a representation of teenagers that is not usually shown in the media. As a director of the film it would enable me to put my input into the film and also through the use of certain shots would be able to show teenagers in a certain light
