Planning

This is a list in which our class created for the possible topics for our subject:



As soon as we chose our subject which is Seven Deadly Sins: Pride we created a spider diagram of things we could include:

Another class activity we took part in was looking at TV scheduling. We used a page out of a TV magazine:

TV Schedule

The scedule for each day can be broken down into clear segments. These are the segments and their target audience:

Breakfast: young children and adults getting ready for work

pre-lunch/morning: babies and women

lunchtime: adults

early pm: adults mainly women

late pm: children and adults

tea time: adults

early evening: adults and young adults (teenagers)

pre watershed: adults and young adults (teenagers)

post watershed: adults

The most popular genres on television:

Breakfast, soaps, news and dramas

The target for each terrestrial channel is as follows:

BBC1: Everyone

BBC2: Specifically adults

ITV1: Specifically adults

Channel 4: Young adults

Channel 5: Everyone

This is roughly the percentage each channel's schedule is taken up with repeats:

BBC1: 5%

BBC2: 60%

ITV1: 2%

Channel 4: 60%

Channel 5: 50%

This is the storyboard for our title sequence

1st box: this i a coal fire which will be edited to look much more darker and redder. The title 'Seven Deadly Sins' will fade in to the fire and then fade out. The title will be white and this shot will last 3 seconds.

The next six boxes will contain a black background and in each shot, the name of a 'sin' which will be white, will cross fade in and then cross fade out. Each shot will last one second.

The final shot will still have a black background however, there will be one second of darkness and then the word 'Pride' will cross fade in, however the colour of the word will be red with a slight glow. The size of the font will be much larger than the rest of the previous shots. This shot will last 3 seconds.
Running Order

We were unable to interview the Debenhams worker as we were not able to gain permission, therefore we interviewed a salon worker instead. We also altered a few of the cutaways because the answers we received made the origional cutaways inappropriate for example "pan across wall of photos" has been changed to an extreme close up of someone putting lipstick on, simply because the interviewee is discussing makeup, however the majority of our documentary is similar to the running order.
