My final proposal

Aims
The aims for my documentary will be to inform viewers on games and how they much they have changed since around the 2000 era and if they are getting better in terms of gameplay, story, controls etc. or are getting worse.

Content
The documentary will have different facts/figures about older games and/or newer games. The documentary will also contain a few opinions from the different people I interview.

Target audience
The target audience is males and females aged 16 to 24 as that who will watch the show but to be more specific for people who play video games mainly on consoles and handheld as opposed to mobile games.

Format
The type of documentary will be interactive as I myself will be filming the gameplay for the background footage, getting the interviews/asking the questions for them and be in the trailer experiment.

Genre
The genre will be simply documentary as it doesn't follow the main conventions to be any other type of factual tv.

Style
The style of the documentary will be quick cuts as I would like to have as much extra time as possible, the editing will be fast paced as having a fast paced editing will allow me to then quickly go through everything I want to talk about and then have more time to show interviews.

Legal and ethical constraints in factual television production

Analysing the competition

 have chosen 3 factual television programs that are close to the documentary I am doing, the 3 being chosen are a on a program called panorama, watch dog and .
The first show is Panorama, it comes on every week at 8.30 on bbc 1 but doesn't have a set day that it's aired as it switches between Mondays and Sundays. The main episode that is being discussed is the episode called  video game addiction, the layout for this episode is slightly like how i want to do my documentary as I want to have different games being played while the voice over talks, i would like to have interviews with people who play games for a living and also interviews with people who just play games for fun. According to digital spy 2.3 million watched the episode. I think my documentary can beat this episode by mainly using humor and making my a bit more interesting by adding nice music and having the voice over be different to the normal boring male older voice over.

Video game addiction
The second show is Watch dog, it comes on bbc 1 on Thursdays every week at 8 pm.
The viewing figures for the show are 3.90 million viewers watched the episode that came out on Thursday 6th of November. The similarities between my documentary and this show will be that they will both be short and to the point, with game play a different styled voice over and interviews with people who play games themselves. My show will be able to beat it as it will be a big longer and have more than just one certain game being the focus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCBDUsCc9GQ
The third and last factual tv is a documentary called free to play, as it is a documentary film it doesn't have a broadcast time or channel,  the film have over 5.5 million viewers over the weekend of its launch. The similarities between this documentary and my one is that there will be a voice over and constant game play. My documentary will be shorter than this one and will have mainly game play.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjZYMI1zB9s

Five key question for my final idea

What makes a game 'appealing'?

1) Does good controls make games more fun and better than others?

http://kotaku.com/one-small-tweak-makes-vita-remote-play-so-much-better-1639603875
Having a game that has horrible controls makes a game less fun to play as the play can not get the best precise controls having a game with bad controls doesn't allow the player to enter the game's world, without being able to freely move and be able to stop at any point needed or they wanted to. Looking at the link before the Sony PlayStation 4's version of destiny the controls for PlayStation Play was bad because of the way the Sony vita had been made missing 4 buttons the Playstation 4 has. Not having these controls meant that the game had to remap out the controls for the Vita and most of the time it didn't work until destiny came out and helped to show the games the right path by mapping the controls out right.

2) Which of the top selling games are fun?

Best selling games

Simply all of the top selling games are fun, they all most of the time are fun and if they were not they wouldn't be on the top ten list of games and despite most of the games on the list coming out before 2010 the games are the biggest brought game of their time the top selling game selling well over 140 million copies.

3) Do graphics matter to make a game more enjoyable?

(Most lists of top ten games are not from the 2005+ er)
http://www.gamesradar.com/best-games-ever/
Graphics are a part of gaming but are not really that important when it comes to making a game more enjoyable, in fact on most of the top games of all time most of them again came out before around 2008 as most people enjoy games from the past more than the games of today.

4) Does the enjoyment of games depend of player?
http://uk.askmen.com/top_10/videogame/top-10-video-game-remakes_1.htmlThe enjoyment of games depends of the player for example if someone plays call of duty and loses all the time they are not going to enjoy it or like it as they can't seem to win but if they play a game they can play like forza or mario kart or most other racing games they will feel more accomplished and that will allow them to get more enjoyment out of the game. Also the enjoyment of some games that are older may depend of the age of the player as if I was to play a game that came out in 1998 and then play the remake of that game in 2014 i would most likely want to keep playing the remake of the game. Using the link as an example punch out (Wii) was on this person's favorite's list because it was enjoyable for him and most likely reminded them of the arcade machine of the same name.

5) Why are games played?
http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion-30/why-do-you-play-video-games-540006/
Games are being play because its an enjoyable experience for any users it leads to people who are more relaxed than others. sometimes its to take out the rage that one might have, other times its just there to be there and it might just be the reason one can be still for more than half an hour.

Rationale

Initial Ideas Focus Group

The first video is my first idea which was 'what makes a game "fun.'' But before I changed the topic idea from why are many of the games played so violence to what makes a game fun? The video guilty was alright but I could had spoken a louder and maybe thought a bit longer about what I was going to say.











In this video I receive feedback for my first idea, and this helped me to add the ideas to my final choice of documentary. This video's audio is pretty bad as we only had a flip camera and didn't get to boost the sound, I could have spoken louder and the video should have been a bit longer.








In this video I explained my second idea for a documentary which was What kind of effect do cartoons have on children. Again I didn't speak very loudly and I could have had it a bit longer.










This is the feedback video for my second idea. I didn't speak very loudly and we could have made the video and questions a bit longer.











This is the video for third idea which was Are we at the end of 'good' music. This was the last video regarding the ideas that was made. Again I didn't speak very loudly and I could have had it a bit longer.

This is the video for the feedback on my third idea. While this was being filmed I didn't speak very loudly and I could have had it a bit longer.

Initital Ideas

Class ideas of me

Factual TV Rules For Beginners

Accuracy

Accuracy is how close something is to being the truth, for example if a book stated that penguins can't fly, its completely accurate as penguins can't fly rather as if the book said penguins can swim at the speed of light, that's not accurate as no penguin can swim that fast. This is important to the producer as if the movie they are trying to product is based on a true story but not accurate, it would not be watched or liked as it is not the same. This is important to the audience as being accurate can create trust which allows them to show the audience what in important.



An example in which the accuracy is followed is a show called How its made, It's a series that follows the conventions of documentaries while showing how products and or objects are being made, the voice over and camera follow the steps of creating the product/object till its finished. The shows is a good example of this because it is completely accurate as the camera doesn't miss anything out as the product is being created.

An example that isn't every good is the documentary based on Adolf Hitler called 'Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told,' as the any footage is really old as it seems like it happened around the 1930 - 1945 as most of the footage capture, the reason I think that its a bad example of accuracy is because no matter how far anyone digs to find evidence, there isn't enough to be accurate on what is happening as we didn't live in that time and therefore can't know what exactly is happening.

Balance

Balance is where is a fair line between the for and against argument. This can be important to an audience as it can not only add a layer of trust for them but also show them that there's two sides to every story. The producer uses this to show everyone the good points and bad points of the subject of the documentary.

Zoochosis is a good example of balance of for and against which is relevant to the video which is about if animals should be kept in captivity. The video shows the idea that the animals can be kept locked up in zoos but shouldn't be. Having for and against in the video allows the audience to make up their own minds instead of having it there for them.

A not very good example is judge rinder which is a British version on the court show Judge Judy, The reason i think this show isn't a balanced show is because the show has the judge already having a bias opinion on what is happening as the court case goes on. This can lead to bias verdict, which isn't balanced.

Impartiality

Impartiality is the same thing as balanced, a fair line between the for and against argument but the difference on between impartiality and balance is that in impartiality, the presenter's opinion isn't given or shown. This is done so that the audience has a completely opinion-free idea of what is happening.

An example that does this is the documentary titled,

"India and Pakistan documentary on war and hate between the divided people, " In this documentary it doesn't show any favoritism to India nor Pakistan which is following the rules and the presenter doesn't say his opinion throughout the video.

A bad example is the documentary, zero which uses the stereotype that someone Asian decided to do this when it could have been anyone. If anything like this is stated this can have a very negative affect of this which would leave the audience freaked out over a different race.

Objective and subjective

Objective is a statement that can be proven while subjective is a statement that can not be proven.

Objective is used to show the audience the undeniable truth about the subject while subjective can' t because it can't be proven. Objective is important to the producer as they can't go wrong if they are telling the audience the truth about the subject in which the video is being done on. Subjectivity is important to the producer as they can't know everything that happens when they are recording something so they have to either make it up or lead the audience into a rhetorical question regarding the where about of the subject.

I have chosen Parrots: Majestic Bird as the good documentary as almost everything stated in the video is undeniable true as this happens on camera in front of the audience allowing them to believe it and the footage allows the audience to watch what the presenter is talking about first hand.

An unclear example of subjectivity is Extreme Dinosaurs it is all speculation about the dinosaurs and not much can be proven from simple bones and rocks. The video is mainly subjective as again not much can be proven. This leads the audience into finding about what the animals might have looked like, sounded like or acted like.

Opinion

Opinion is a view that is formed about someone, somewhere, or something without normally being based on any fact or knowledge on it. This can be used to pretty much tell the audience the creator's views without it being having to be fair to the different sides.

The rule is important to the producer as it can allow him to express what he or she thinks without having hard facts about it.

Good example

A good example of this is the documentary, The land of whispers which is a documentary about north Korea and how the presenter tries to connect with some people in north Korea and what it is like in north Korea but a very detailed version which has information on places like Chongjin or Wonson . This is a good example of opinion as presenter constantly reminds the audience that this is backwards and the place is a bit mad. He stats at 1:32 that one of his friends had gone to North Korea and then she says that it was crazy at 1:33, this is her and most of the world's opinion as the people in north Korea don't think they are crazy and it is not based on facts but on opinion. Later in the video at 15:14 there a tour guide says "this is the historic place where our great leader Kim Jong II was born and spent his childhood. The word 'Great,' can be both opinion or fact based on who you are asking it it, as the tour guide lives there and is also being recorded she says Kim Jong II is great while if someone who did not live in North Korea was asked they would most likely say that he was not great.

Bad example

This is which is future earth a movie based around the events that couple possible happen by the time a bad example of opinion as it takes the idea of not actually using any ideas or even having a bases for what they might think happened as it is too reliant on opinions. During the movie the presenters and experts talk about what could possibly happening at the time 2050 and fuels.

Bias

Bias is the idea that the presenter thinks that one idea is better than the other which leads to the audience not understanding which side is better, this way is unfair as it does not show both side's arguments.This is important to the presenter as it is a way of getting their point across quicker than showing both sides to the audience. The audience finds this important as it is a way to find out the facts about 1 side quicker than hearing both side's argument.

Good example

A good example is zero hour, as it
Zero Hour- The Massacre at Columbine High which is about the April 1999 killings that happened that year this has a clear bias towards the most clear side to the argument. As they did create this tragic event the creator has a bias straight against what the kids did. This is useful as then the creators can invent up new ways to make the students seem even worst.

This documentary is smoking and how to the industry has changed. This documentary uses experts and a voice over to describe to the audience what is happening and why. This follows the conventions of this type including being more against smoking as they stat at 0:40 they even say that one pack of cigarettes are now $12 as apposed to being $6 before this shows that because of this one scene I can tell the video is going to be about the negatives of smoking which then makes the video feel bias but yet after watching about 20 minutes into it, the video becomes quickly balanced as it has reasons for and against smoking.



Representation

Representation is a type of rule that they only select some facts around the factual tv. This is important to the audience the rule allows them to not only get the facts but also hear and see it going on recreated as a story which would be on screen. This is good for the presenter as it allows him/her to once in a while stop speaking and take a break and rest his/her voice.

Crime watch is a good example of the best way to show representation as it acutally shows the recreation of most of the events that happen.
This can be very good for the views who were either can't hear well or were just not paying attention. An example of this is at start 0:06 where a recreated robbery happens, this is a good way of showing the recreation as the audience can follow along with what is happening.










Bad example

Happily never after is a bad example of representation as it does not follow every piece of evidence they get and can make very far fetched links between evidence and the show lies on friends and families' witness statements. Like this show has moments where the characters pretty much always leave a clue but most criminals know not to leave one.

Contact with viewers

Contact with viewers uses the idea that the documentary maker has to keep a contract with the audience that he/she will show the complete truth throughout the video will not lie or make it up. This is important to the producer as it is best way to show the audience that there are no lies in the documentary. This is important to the audience as it builds trust between the producer and the audience which will make them want to see the other stuff the producer has made so they think he/she is a good person. 

Jamie's kitchen is a show based around the presenter as he tries to train 15 young people who help them complete a course and be offered jobs at a new restaurant if they do complete the course. The Show has a contract with the viewer and it seems like it keeps it by actually showing everything and even showing scenes that most shows wouldn't like 16:55 where Jamie, the presenter/expert actually picks the fruit and vegetables himself which shows the audience this is whats really happening and there is no fake footage.




bad example
This show, big brother is a bad example of contract with the viewer as the people put in the house are not the only people there as they most likely get help for most things like cooking, cleaning and free clothes,sheets towels etc, off camera. This is a bad thing as the show is meant to be based on these people living in a house without anyone to help them and is meant to be real but it comes off as fake.

big brother

Access and privacy

Access and privacy is what is shown on the factual TV, for example if the show has full access into the life of someone, the camera crew would follow them to certain points, and wouldn't follow them to places like the bathroom etc. Breaking this rule is bad for any show or documentary as it would show something that isn't allowed on normal TV. This is important to the audience as if the rule is broken it can show something that they were not meant to see but if it isn't broken they can see watch it and would be able to see again later on. This is important to the producer as it is a way to show the audience that the show is all real showing real emotion and real reactions.

A good example of access and privacy, Tia and Tamera this show does not show scenes that are not for the viewers to see such as one of them was worried she was pregnant she has a pregnancy test and while this happened the camera focused on her sister and then skipped the rest of the scene this is good because if that had been shown that would have ended up forcing the show to be canceled or just getting that episode banned from being aired.

This is a bad example of access and Privacy as this show takes the rule and just over does it as it continuously records everything that happens no matter what or who is on camera at the time, including when someone is weeping because of something bad.

Evaluation on the different news reports

Mode of Address to viewer
This video uses the conventions Tone of voice, accent, Language and Eye contact . Tone of voice is the way the anchor speaks and can usually be used to discover how they are feeling, in this video, I went with a tired tone as I didn't speak very positive and slurred slightly.I didn't put on any accents as I was told I have a slight accent anyway so I didn't need to. The Languages used were English and Russian, which was at 1:18 but was beeped as it was bad language. Eye contact in the video was horrible and was meant to be like that part from a few instances, I was looking everywhere else but the camera.

Studio news readers or Anchors

The Video go through what a anchor mainly should not be doing while filming. It goes through Costume, Framing choice of presenter and body language. Costume which was discussed at 1:49 as being unprofessional. Framing and how it needs to be which was at 0:22. Body Language was discussed at 0:35. The news industry uses the conventions to make the news look as real as possible, because if a reporter was covering something on the news wearing a basic t shirt and jeans no one would be interested in them. The video also show what would not be of audience expectations as through out the video prinul (the anchor) doesn't follow the normal conventions for news reports.

Report structure

This video was for report structure, mainly using its music to be relaxing while Taylor talks, this is mainly used at 0:11 where Taylor talks about how the music is meant to be serious but no one listens to it. There are no graphics in this video, but at 0:42 she states what would happen if she was to do a interview with another person who doesn't understand what is happening. This video takes a normal news report's believability and pokes holes in events that happen in them like the 'technical difficultly' and such that mainly uses humour to make the audience realise that what happens on news might not be the truth.



This is the video covers the interviewing experts and witnesses section. The video covers camera technique, location, status of interviewee, graphics and questioning techniques. Camera techniques include different shots main focusing on close ups and mid shots. The location was shown through out the video as being in a park, and having the title 'UK' at the top. The status of the interviewee seems to be just random people off the street. as the 2 people interviewed where 'random,' so they're identity didn't matter. Graphics wise the video had the standard towards the base of the screen news story with the location, reporter's name and the time, place and if it is live at the top left. Lastly there wasn't any questions actually being asked in the video.

News studio video

Analysing a news broadcast

Field reporters

The field reporter here is seen to wear a suit to make himself look smarter and through that more trust able. This can be seen at any point through out the video as he is filmed throughout. The presenter was the only person filmed, he is a older man around the age of 45 and white with what sounds like a northern accent. The graphics that some up are 'breaking news,' at the bottom, 'royal baby,' 'Prince William is at the duchess' bedside,' 'Live,' 'St Mary's hospital,' which are at the top and lower at the bottom of the screen are the time, show which in this case is BBC news, and a round up of the news slowing scrolling through on the right next to the time.
Links to studio

The report was prerecorded as the report talking was not seen on the video. The location was around a park and some type of road in the center of Nottingham. The camera language was a very big mix of mid shots, close ups, long shots, two shots and extreme long shots. This was not a package news report. Midshots are used to show the audience that the reporter is able to sit still which can make the audience want to trust them more. Close ups are used to show the emotions emotions from the reporter like at 6:10 were there is a close up of the anchor as she enters into the new segment. Long shots are normally used as a way of showing the viewers the environment that the person being recorded is in but in this video it seems like the camera crew were not able to get close as at 3:27 there is a long shot in which a few seconds later at 3:47 the camera slowly edges forward. Two shot is used quite a lot during this video as most of the video is interviews. such as the interview at 4:54.
Mode of address to viewer

The tone of David Cameron's voice is serious, he speaks clearly but yet still sounds angry and serious. He doesn't really sound like he has any type of accent, through out the video he uses complex words to make him sound even more serious that he is and he seems to be analyzing everything as he goes along.









Interviewing experts and witness
The camera techniques for this section was really just mid shots and close ups when the interviews started.
In this video the 'witnesses,' are just normal people off the street who were informed about the drug and asked what they thought of it. There were 3 people who were interviewed and the point of view is the same for all of them.
The location was stated as on the street at 'Jacksonville,' which was stated at 0:34.
Through out the whole video there was two graphics, the first one was  lower on the screen that stats the title of the news report and under that the name of the drug which didn't change during the video and the second one which only came up at 0:33 till 0:38 which was the name of anchor and the words 'fox news,' under it. On the right is the channel, fox news, the temperature and time.
The main question was not said to the vox poppers on film as that is a waste of time so I call only assume he asked 'what do you think about this new drug?' At the 3rd person being interviewed at 0:55 he says ' nothing you would ever consider?' which is the only question he asks them on camera.
They seem to be neither knowledgeable about this or part of it as they all seemed like they had just now heard about it. All three of the interviewees were vox popped as they all were not at they event.

Report structure

This news report was
There was no sign in from the reporter but her name is stated at the bottom in a graphic for her. The video shown looked like it was filmed by a professional so it wasn't archive footage,There was a few interviews in the video like at 0:41 where a boy was interviewed about what he though about 'chibatman,' and later at 1:03 Chibatman was interviewed about why he does what he does. The reporter talks normally, not too fast not too slow, the location is around china as it was never stat where exactly this was happening. But she didn't once come on camera so there is no way of knowing if she was no location. She does sign out at 2:05. There are no cut ways or noddies in the video.
Actuality footage

The news report for this section had different footage instead of one constant one. The source for the videos are as followed, the first video was filmed on YouTube by 'Kyodonews,' which was stated at 0:22 and was shot in a news room. The second clip at 0:37 was filmed by 'tyomei26,' and was filmed inside his flat, the 3rd video was shot by 'Fuku1live,' and was filmed at a nuclear power plant. The reason these videos were used is because it is too dangerous for anyone to go there and also because the time someone flies there it could be too late to get any footage. The amount used in the videos differs as the second clip was the longest and there for used the most from its original clip while the first one used a little from it. The videos are there as slight proof that its happening along with being there to show the terror of an earthquake.
