1.4: Script For Local Scene Guide

This is my script that I made for my local scene guide. I did my script on Stratford Picturehouse, Bangla TV and Stratford Circus. I tried to make it as interesting as possible in order to entertain the audience and engage with them. I also tried to make it appropriate to the target audience by making it formal but interesting. I think I was successful in doing this.

1.4: Planning For Guide - Time Management

BEFORE

In order to manage our time for our guide, we need to:
- Decide on the 2/3 subjects each person is going to do
- Write my script and record it.
- Edit the recordings and start to put in order
- Find images for the guide.

DURING
- Falling slightly behind with guide!
- Need to come in at lunch to continue editing.
- Stay until 4:30 this week to complete editing.

Notes:
I did get the guide completed on time, however I think that our time management was very poor and I think for future reference, we should have communicated with each other better and planned our time out so that we didn't have to panic or feel the pressure to complete it and feel that we had to rush.

1.4: Audience For The Local Scene Guide

For our guide on the local area, the target audience is for adults and families that are interested in what they have on offer in their local area. I think that it will appeal to this group of people because it is rather formal and has a lot of useful information on how you can enjoy things as a family.
Not only that, but it would appeal to people who are just visiting our local area and want to know what fun things they can do.
A great thing about the venues that we portray in the media guide is that none of them really require using a lot of money as some of them are free! For instance the Museum of Childhood and Nettie Horn gallery. This allows people of all statuses to join the fun. However, some of the places do require money but not a huge amount (depending on the age-range).
All of the venues are situated pretty close together and therefore will probably be easy to find! If someone struggled to find the venue then there are clear directions nearby and people around that can always help!

1.4: Scene Notes

Describe the profile of the audience that you are preparing your Creative and Media Guide for.

e.g (a) What age group? (How will your guide appeal to that age group - think of the language, content, music you use in the guide)

(b) Are they visitors to the area or do they live in the area, or both?

(c) What are their interests
(d) What is their spending power? Do they have a lot of money and need expensive entertainment and media services?

(e) How far are they willing to travel to find such venues?

(f) Do they all speak and understand English fluently?

-My Creative and Media guide would be for an audience around the age group of 16+. I think this is because the language that will be used will be quite formal and informative. The music that I will use in the guide will be modern and up beat so that it will give a happy atmosphere and enhance our speech.

-Ill give a variety of things to do on there so that no matter what their interest is, it's possible that something will be available to them. Most of the options that they have will require money but not all of the things would. For example: a cinema would, but a museum wouldn't.

- The guides main audience would probably be mainly for those who live outside the area but it available for those within. This is because the information would describe things about the area and might provide data that the people of that area would already know, but they are still welcome to see it.

-They wouldn't have to travel too far between each venue as they are based quite close together so this will be a good thing for them.

SURVEY

Imagine that you have not yet made your guide. Make up a questionnaire for one member of your target audience to fill in. The questions you ask should help you to know what to include in your guide (e.g. cinemas; galleries) and what format they prefer to see the guide in (e.g. film; radio; leaflet, etc.). It should also give you some of the information you needed for number 1 above

1) What would you normally do in your spare time?

2) Would you recommend visiting any of your local media scenes?

3) How often do you visit your local media scene?

4) Do you prefer to go to a cinema or theatre for entertainment or go to galleries?

5) If you could have a guide about your local media scene, would you prefer it to be a film, leaflet, poster or another form?

6) Is Stratford a local area to you?

7) What are you hobbies/interests?

TIME MANAGEMENT

Use this blank grid you've been given to:

(a) Tell us about the contriutions you made towards making the guide and how youmanaged your time each month.

(b) How well do you think you worked in gathering information on your own

[Independent Enquirer] - give examples, maybe you interviewed or gathered leaflets

(c) How organised were you - did you always have your equipment? Were you ever absent? Were you always on time?

(d) How did you support your group? Did you have problems? Solved them?

- Preparation Days: When preparing for the guide, in our groups, we started off sorting out who was going to research what. This made it easier to continue on to making the guide. We all had our own responsibility within it.

-Visits: During visits, I made sure that I asked as many questions as possible so that it would help me with my research and my script for my guide. I collected flyers and leaflets on each venue for additional information.

-Organising Information And Documents: I used the information I found and gathered it all up to create the script. I have organised my notes and flyers for evidence of my research.

-Making the Guide: When making the guide, our time keeping could have been slightly better. Having said that, I think I made a large contribution to the creation of our guide and I tried my best to balance my time in creating it.

DISTRIBUTION OF GUIDE

(a) Explain what advantages you think a film guide has over other formats such as print or radio? Why is it ideal for your target audience?

(b) How would you make sure the film is seen by most of your audience? Where would it be shown? On Youtube? On the Borough's website? TV? What channels would be best? Anywhere else in the area? Explain the reasons for your choices.

Our guide is at an advantage by being in film form. I think this is because technology plays a huge part in life these days so it will be attention grabbing for people. Also, sometimes, when people are given leaflets and flyers, they just throw them away or don't even look at it. They would be more interested if given a guide through film. Also an audience of 16+ are very involved with technology so it will be ideal for them.

I would send out my guide through doors and post it on social networking sites such as Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc. Also I would find travel websites and sites about travelling around London therefore tourists or people interested in their local area can have easy access to it and find and experience the best of London.

1.4: Guide Plan

Format: Film

Audience: Families and people who are interested in what they can find in their area. Also people visiting the area and want to find places to go in the area.

Contribution: As we visited loads of different creative and media venues, I have already done my research on each of them. I will take on the responsibility of writing the script for Stratford Circus, Stratford Picture House and Bangla TV. To record the scripts, we will be using an MP3 player and then editing it in iMovie. This is good because if any mistakes are made, we can edit it out of it. I will be in charge of finding many images for each of the venues to support the audio content. I also will be creating the guide, with the help of the rest of the group.

Structure: We hope to structure it so that we have basic info about London venues at the beginning and then go into the information about the chosen ones. As we are all doing different venues, we want to put them in a different order so that you hear a variety of voices and do not get bored of the same thing over and over. Also, the venues that we didn't do, we will list at the end of the guide.


Distribution: To ensure that the audience sees the guide, we will try and post them onto travel websites so that if people are looking at their local area, they will see what they can do. Also, on tourist websites. Aswell as that, we will post it on YouTube so that people can have easy access to it.
