There are no new ideas in television, everything has been done before. Your task is to find a different way of doing it, to find a new angle, to give it a new treatment.

Researching for Television and Radio (Media Skills) by Adele Emm

The subject  I am looking into may not be the most original… but if I can look at it from another direction: think outside the box then hopefully I can gain interest in my piece and gain a good mark.

Out on my own, feel much more comfortable in a group.

Power: Website – domestic violence.

WEBSITE LINK

Influenced by:

  • Own family members’ experiences
  • EastEnders: Little Mo/Trevor

Things that went wrong:

  • planned to do audio interview, she dropped out

Things that went well:

  • website – very informative, though is it adding anything new? Too much to take on – market full already.

Spectacle: Photography – 5-a-side football.

Influences:

  • Zidane, 21st portrait
  • Match of the Day – my love for football – aims for the future

Things that went wrong:

  • games being cancelled
  • forced to go indoors
  • not very good at photography!

Memory: Audio piece – footballing memories

Influences:

  • Channel 4 idents
  • Laws of the Playground
  • Childhood memories

Problems:

  • Changed my idea halfway through to football
  • Operation

Things that went well:

  • sound effects really added to the atmosphere
  • Few nice quirky stories

What i’d change

  • more varied interviewees would of added to the piece.


What i’ve learnt:

Better planning, anticipation needed, always have a plan B. Sometimes things happen that are out of your control.

Onto the future… work with more depth.. and a cause?

Freedom Train // Ewa

Ian Wright’s fat kids, Jamie Oliver, Sir Trevor Brooking’s views on the future of football, campaigns to get more children to exercise

Build on my memory artefact. A merger of the two themes, memories of childhood football along with footage of youth football along with ways to get into football and staying healthy.
