Project Evaluation: From the moment our group began developing “U2D News” it was unanimously decided that we would be focussing on stories that concerned people in our age group, mostly big issues and sometimes a way to lessen these issues with good alternative mindsets. We decided that the best target audience to target would be the age range of 16-40 years old and we would go for a light and vibrant colour palette, commonly used on quick, digestible news programmes. We then began researching into issues that were targeting our demographic and we noticed that the most relevant and growing story would be that on the rise of spiking’s in the UK and how they have been affecting people. We also decided we needed to focus on a climate change-based story, so we chose sustainable fashion as a subject, a light but still serious story that people can actively engage in. We then began researching the topics and figuring out the structure of the show, influenced by BBC Newsround and online
Our idea for the live show "The Name Of The Game" is a live game show where generations of forms of gaming are brought together for a half hour of funny, puzzling and exciting entertainment. The Crystal Maze is similar to The Name of The Game in many ways, it does have the previously listed qualities included in it but many more as well. The Episode of The Crystal Maze I watched was Series 6 Episode 6: "Celebrity Crystal Maze", this episode was first broadcast in July of 2019. The Crystal Maze is a game show where a team of usually 5, compete in different themed lands to complete challenges solving puzzles, riddles and timed trials. Once completing these tests the contestants are given "time crystals" that secure them time in a dome where they must catch gold tickets that guarantee they will go home with the money they've raised through the game. However if they catch more silver tickets than gold, they lose the money. The show is presented by comedia
Panasonic & Green Screen Workshop: In our Panasonic & Green Screen Workshops we had the chance to really get to terms with some new equipment. In the Panasonic camera workshop, we got taught the basics, where which button was, how the menu works and some important formatting tips. We spent the majority of the workshop setting the camera up before taking it out to test shoot as this is more complicated than any camera we’ve used before. We shot a brief test intro for our news show we have been devising, U2D News. The footage we shot came out well however we shot in front of a predominantly white background which messed with the white balance and lighting. However, we will not be using a background like this when it comes to our final project. The next day we worked on our Green Screen skills, we spent a lot of time setting up and making sure our lighting bounced well off the model, who was also me. We faced a challenge of setting up the lights in a way that didn’t reflect
