Proposal

Aims

Through my documentary I hope to help people grasp a better understanding on what it takes to become a Youtuber. I also want to bring the viewers into the lives of some Youtubers by getting some interviews and having them answer questions on how to be successful on Youtube. We will be assuming that the audience have a slight information on YouTube as every 16-24 year old use it. 

Content

I will gain this information by holding interviews with successful Youtubers and some senior members of Youtube at Youtube Space. I will also be showing archive footage from Youtubers videos, past and present. This will hopefully show the viewer’s how you should be doing your videos. We will also be experiencing a day with YouTubers to see how they work, this will help the audience to know what it takes to be a YouTuber.

Target audience 

My target audience is 13+. I am aiming this documentary towards anyone that would like to start making videos on Youtube. I am appealing to this age as that is when a lot of people begin making videos on Youtube. I think there are many platforms for people to become successful in what they like to do, and Youtube is one of them. So, that is why I would like to show kids of the age of 13+ as I think they should be knowledgeable on what they are getting into. 

Format

The format of our documentary will be participatory as there will be two presenters which participate in the documentary. We will be teaching our audience as we go through the documentary, we will assume that our target audience have basic information as we are aiming to wards the younger audience who use YouTube on a daily basis. As we are working in a group of two we will be taking turns on interviewing different people as i think it would pressurise the person who we are interviewing, by doing this we both will be able to get more involved in the documentary.

Genre 

Genre is really important for us because we need to make sure that it meets the target audience. we are planning to make a documentary which is educational as we will be teaching the target audience how YouTube works and how it has become more of a job for the Youth, and what it actually takes to become a YouTuber. As it is a documentary i will make sure that it is formal throughout, however at some point i will be informal with the people which i interview as i will interviewing young YouTubers this means having a friendly approach. 

Style

Style is important as we need to meet the brief and target audience. We will make sure that we will appeal to the 16-24 year olds by adding music when editing because this will make the documentary more entertaining to watch and it will lead them to watching the whole of the documentary. Also i will try have to experience a day with a YouTuber to show the audience how their day is.  The way i will speak will be in formal but will relate to them by using terms which they actually understand.

Secondary Research- BARB Viewing Figures

Week In Week Out

What is the show’s channel, broadcast day and time slot?

Week in Week Out is show on the BBC One channel, usually around 7.30 as that is the time for documentaries like this. It was first aired on Monday 21st March 2016.

What are the show’s viewing figures for the past week?

Barb does not have the viewer ratings for free this suggests that the program is not in the top 30. 

What similarities does the show’s format and content have with your own?

The similarities this has with our documentaries is that we will be investigating the same way which the presenter is and the topic which is being spoken about is similar to us but we will be aiming towards a specific platform which is YouTube, whereas this documentary is more generic about the platform. Also this documentary tells us how people risk the life just for a like or re-tweet. 

How would your show beat it in terms of viewing figures?

In my documentary i think we would make it appeal to them more by having younger presenter which makes it a lot more entertaining for the target audience and i think that we will also try changing the documentary around by having YouTubers which are around their age and who they will speak about.

Rich Kids of Instagram

What is the show’s channel, broadcast day and time slot?

Rich Kids of Instagram is shown on E4 exclusive this means it is not aired on any other channel. The documentary and was first aired in July 2016. The time this was aired was around 9 o'clock as that is when their target audience was watching TV.  

What are the show’s viewing figures for the past week?

The shows viewing figures are not on Barb for free, this mean you need to pay to see the viewings, this indicates it was not the top 30 as they are always free. 

What similarities does the show’s format and content have with your own?

    The content which we see in this documentary is the actually Instagramers in real life and how their lifestyle, our documentary will be slightly different as we will experience a day as YouTuber but we are going to be there rather then just have a voice over as it will allow the audience to see the presenter is getting a actually view of the YouTuber. 

How would your show beat it in terms of viewing figures?

       Our documentary will beat this documentary viewing figures hopefully as i think our documentary will be a lot different, by this i mean the style as our documentary will be participatory which means the audience actually seeing a presenter that will go on the journey to learn how to become a YouTuber. By doing all this i think will get more views as our presenter will help the audience make a decision as they can give their viewers as they have seen it real life, this would allow our target audience to understand more and make the right decsion.

Youtube, so it was not placed in a time slot.


What is the show’s channel, broadcast day and timeslot?

This documentary was broadcasted through Youtube on May 14 2015. Due to the fact that it was broadcasted through an online platform, it doesn't actually have a time slot. 

What are the show’s viewing figures for the past week?

I have not got access to what they're views have been over the course of a week. However, I can see that at the moment this documentary has gained 13,000 views. 

What similarities does the show’s format and content have with your own?

This documentary is similar to mine as it asks the same questions I am planning on asking in my documentary. It also looks into the amount of people wanting to become a Youtuber rather than having a normal job, which is something I will be touching on in my documentary. 

How would your show beat it in terms of viewing figures?

Our documentary will beat the viewing figures due to the fat that it will have a unique approach. You do not always find two 18 year olds trying to get answers from senior members of Youtube and also, we will have famous Youtubers involved in the making as we will be doing one on one interviews with them.

5 Key Question

5 Key Questions:
What is a Youtuber?

"We can find the definition of Youtubers in Wikipedia.

It is saying that Youtubers is "A user of sharing websites Youtube." You can feel something strange because they are ordinary people, but you can notice that they are  "celebrity" when you see their subscribers. Their subscribers are much more than normal pop stars' official Youtube channel. For example, Charlie McDonnel who is running "Charlieissocoollike" has over 1.9  million, and almost 2 million.

(YG, which is one of the most famous entertainment companies, has 740000 subscribers and SM entertainment has 1360000 subscribers.)
It is surprising."

https://sites.google.com/site/dolenim/home/what-is-youtubers

What does it take to become a successful Youtuber?
"Truth be told, there is no set formula for a successful YouTube channel. But there are a few key ingredients that will make your chances of YouTube fame all the more likely.
YouTube megastars like Ryan Higa, Ray William Johnson, and Bethany Mota have amassed billions of views simply through vlogging. This has almost certainly raked in seven figures or more in revenue, while leading to untold opportunities outside of YouTube.
And then there are the channels that house much more substance, while still remaining impressively popular. Take Creative Live, the Ask Gary Vee Show, and Big Think.
These channels may all be entirely different, but share the common factor of regularly being watched by huge numbers of people. This is because they’ve stuck to at least some of the key ingredients below."

What is a Youtubers lifestyle like?

"So me and my friends started our YouTube channel around 3 months ago. Our channel 2point5 exclusively focuses on Indian Reactions on famous videos, movie trailers/teasers.

Around 2 days ago, while travelling in metro, I suddenly heard our theme music playing (the one we use in each of our video). First I thought somebody would be listening to the music, and not watching our video (because what were the odds) but then I almost freezed when I heard my voice. I can't even describe the feeling. It was so surreal. I started freaking out, tried desperately to see who was the one watching the video. But as we all know, Delhi Metro specifically at 9 in the morning is worst than a Sunday Trade Fair. I texted the other founders instantly and they couldn't believe me.

Since we do reaction videos, we get a lot of criticism on our reactor's views. But even one comment of appreciation from a stranger keeps us motivated.

Although that metro incident was a small one for some, but for me, that feeling is still so surreal."

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-life-like-as-a-YouTuber

How much time is put into one Youtube video?
"It takes me about 6 hour all together. that includes filming and editing, and getting prepared for a youtube video. But it takes me an hour or two to get everything together (lights, camera, topics) 30 mins or less to film and the rest goes into editing."

"Depends on the kind of video for me too, on my short Thoughts with Matt videos I have those down to a science and can get one shelled out in 15 to 20 minutes easy and that's everything start to upload. But on my music stuff I spend quite a bit of time working out the audio tracks and then working on the video itself."
http://yttalk.com/threads/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-make-a-youtube-video.11340/
How are Youtubers funded? 
"For starters, distribution has changed in some very unique ways. While many creators are still selling items directly from their stores, they're looking for other ways to get their more expensive and time-intensive products in front of as many eyes as possible. For example, creators are partnering with larger companies who specialize in distribution to put their content out there - this is what comedy trio Hannah Hart, Grace Helbig, and Mamrie Hart did for their film Camp Takota. And in a bolder move, YouTuber Kurt Hugo Schneider debuted his film College Musical during a livestream and then put it on iTunes for purchase. Hundreds of Schneider's fans caught the livestream viewing (they got the hashtag #CollegeMusical to trend on Twitter), and are now able to help spread the word about the movie through word-of-mouth."

Legal and Ethical Constraints

Rationale

Focus groups

In the very first video above i am explaining all my three ideas in a go, this where all the people in the focus group listened carefully about my three ideas. In the second video as you can see i had received feedback about my the ideas and also got asked questions which will help me know which one to actually develop.

On my first idea about YouTube the focus group thought that there was a concern about where i found the YouTubers and would they actually want to be interviewed by me, on the other hand they thought it appealed to my target audience which is 16-24 year old as they watch YouTube on a daily. 

The second idea was about obesity, the focus group thought that was a great idea as i would be able to engage with the audience as i would be doing the research based upon me, however there was a key concern what angle i am going to do as or the target audience might get bored which means them not watching it.

The third idea was about Cycle lane the focus group thought that it there was a key concern which was me being able to interview experts which i said like Boris Johnson as they are busy but they did say i could show i have tried to contact them. Another concern which was raised in the focus group was that they thought with the idea i explained it sounded one sided this is where they told me to make sure that i had both views which will make my documentary.

Initial Ideas

Nicholls Documentary Mode

Expository Mode 

Expository mode is the first which Nicholls had a theory about he said some documentary will mostly has an voice over describing what we are seeing, the voice is called a narrator as they talk through things, most of it would have archive footage as they may be footage which is from recorded video's. These documentary directly approach the audience to interact with them.  

The above example is one of David Attenborough called Desert Seas, that is an example as it uses expository mode where we see archive footage and also the narrator creates meaning as they explain what we see on the screen. Realism is created by the sound and music used at 09.10 we see them under the sea and then we hear realistic water sound.  The documentary uses dramatisation at 16:58 because we see the documentary get a lot more tensed as their is a sand storm which creates a problem for the ducks and we also notice the sound of the background change it gets a lot more tensed, this has an effect on the audience as it makes it a lot interesting as it builds suspense.

Observational Mode

Observational mode is another mode which Nicholls had a theory, his theory was that some documentary will be observational by this it means that the documentary will not be setup and it will not be edited as much as it is real footage showing what happens on a daily or the action. The downside with this kind of mode documentary is that it means not that much action happening as they will recording throughout for a period of time. 

The above documentary is an example of observational because we see the documentary is just about observing without any narrator or explaining. We see the realism element in this documentary at 0:29 as we see how the state looks in the morning and it's real footage because we do not see any editing as it literally shows all the footage, this tells the audience it has truthful information which the audience can believe. Dramatisation is created at 02:52 as the music changes and makes it a lot more interesting and tensed. This mode allows the audience the audience to make the decision as they are observing the footage.

Participatory Mode 

Participatory mode is another theory which Nicholls had, this was that the film maker will have a connection with the subject they speak about, it will also have an direct engagement as the film maker becomes involved in what the documentary is about and they often help the situation and then it is acknowledge by the public. 

 Click the link below to see example

http://bbc.in/2drZ9FC

The above documentary is an example of participatory, as we see Reggie Yates as he has direct connection with the subject as he goes and investigates the gun crime in a black community in Chicago, for example he goes to attend a meeting at 02:48 this is where we see the black community protest against gun crime. By doing this Reggie Yates builds the awareness to the chicago government as they can make sure more police force is there. Dramatisation is created at 19:00 as we see the presenter go towards a scene but we do not what has happened this makes it a lot tensed and builds suspense. Realisation element is in the above documentary as we see the presenter go to a scene of the incident at 19:28 we know a person has been rushed to hospital shows us it's happened for real and we can trust the information they are giving. This allows the audience to know that Participatory documentary's have more truthful and insightful information.

Reflexive Mode 

Reflexive mode is another mode of documentary which Nicholls had a theory about, this was that the documentary will be a reconstruction of the truth by this it means that it may be events which have already happened but it may still be unsolved. Reflexive documentary often explain events and then have a multiple of version of the story then it leads to different ends but at the end it allows the audience to decide because they say different stories of how it could happened. 

The above documentary is an example of reflexive documentary's as we see different people give different opinion for example at 01:18 he asks a female about the road then he asks a male about the road at 01:58, by having different opinion it allows the audience to make a decision on what they think about the road from the opinion of the people. The realism element we see at 0:47 we see the presenter go and ask people if they are willing to drive around and then give their opinion about the road this tells the audience that it is not planned or biased information. Narrativisation element is in this documentary as we see throughout the documentary they tell us what they think about the road and then we see the question go in an order which tell the story.

Performative Mode 

Performative mode is another mode which Nicholls had a theory about, the theory was that performative is when the presenter goes an investigates a problem which they have had and then the audience interact more as the presenter has this problem which means we learn how it effects the audience  

The above documentary is called Alex Jones Fertility and Me, this is an example of performative documentary as we see that Alex Jones did have fertility issues because of her age and she wanted to investigate how fertility is important and can affect people, We see Alex Jones do a introduction at 0:45 she says that shes concerned that it may be difficult for her to conceive a baby as she is 38 years old. We see elements of realism in this documentary as she visits expert for to discuss about fertility at 12:10, we Alex Jones go to the university of Sheffield to speak to a professor who is an expert, he explains about the sperm and how fertile it is depending on the age. Dramatisiation element is included in this documentary as we see at 46:35 the background music changes as we do not know what the results would be. Performative documentary help the presenter be more persistent on getting truthful information as they want it to help them, this allows the audience to know that it will be truthful and insightful information 

Factual TV Rules for Beginners

The Secret Life of 4 year old

Accuracy

Accuracy is how truthful the information is, by this i mean is it a reliable source and have the researched enough so the audience can actually believe them. Why the producer uses this rule in documentary because they want to make sure that the audience believe in the documentary which they have created and they don't want the audience to think all the information is false or they will stop watching it if it false information. An example of this would be from the first example documentary about ecstasy at 05:40 the presenter goes to an expert where they deal with drugs that have been delivered to the UK but stop by the UK board office as they detect drugs through scanners, UK board office are professional and they are expert as the person deals with drug on a daily basis. 

Balance

Balance is when the documentary shows both sides, this can be the positive and negative of the of the subject which the are focusing on. By balancing it shows that the audience are allowed to make the decision after seeing the facts which the presenters have got. Why the producer use this rule as it allows them two show both sides and then it allows the audience to decide at the end. An balance example would be in the Secrete Life of 4 year old at 21:20 we see the two of the child have an argument and then we see both side of the story, this allows the audience to see for their self and make their decision at the end. 

Impartiality

impartiality is when the presenter or host is actually neutral about the subject they are talking about, this means that they will not have an opinion, this allows the audience to decide and also makes the information which they provide more accurate. Why the producer uses this rule in documentaries is that they want to make sure that the audience are not pressured into making their opinion. An example from Secrete life of a 4 year old where we see experts at 15:25 that speak about the children, they have a neutral opinion as they do not have an opinion about the specific  

Objective & Subjectivity

Objectivity is the perspective of one that is not influenced with emotion, opinion and personal feelings. Subjectivity is the complete opposite as they give their personal experience or opinion they have, this effects the overall judgement for the audience. Why the producer uses this rule in documentary is that it allows the producer to think about what they want the audience to think about. An example will be from the documentary called Secrete life of a 4 year old as they use this rule because it is focused on one. 

Opinion

Opinion is when the present or host gives there opinion slightly as they may say what they think and believe. Why the producer uses this it allows the audience to think a bit more and it till them what their opinion should be. An example would be from the suicide documentary as we see at 04:10 the person giving their opinion on why people do suicide we see the person say they do it because their ego is damaged this allows the audience to have same opinion this is why producers use it a lot.

Bias 

Bias is when the documentary is one sided by this i mean that the documentary would only show the bad or good side never shows both, this means the audience not knowing both sides of the story or subject.  Why producer uses this rule is because it may not be possible to record before as the incident may occurred already and not all documentaries know before the incident occurred as the make documentaries after incident occurs. An example of this would be the suicide documentary as it does not give all the information like what was going through the peoples mind before it makes the audience assume a lot.

Representation 

Representation is how the interviewee's of the documentary are shown, this can be in a good and bad way.  Why this rule is used in documentary is because the producer is allowed to plan how to represent the interviewee's this allows the producer to plan if they want to make the person look bad or good. An example of this would be from the first example which is suicide at  2:21 sec we see a person who has seen a lot of suicide in his past and then we see that they make him look innocent and more like hero as his acts make him look like that as he writes positive messages on the bridge so people do not commit suicide.


Access & Privacy 

Access and privacy is basically the people who are shown in the documentary, all documentary need clearance of the character which they use and the location as it can invading their privacy. Why producer use this rule in documentary is that they need to make sure that the person in the documentary wants to be in there and also they have permission to record in the location or the person can take legal action. An example of this would be from the drugs documentary as we see the presenter go to the house of the people that make we see them wearing mask so that they are not known, this is how we see the privacy being meet.

Contract with Viewer

Contract with the viewers is an document which they make for the audience, the document may be something like truthful information. Why the producer uses this rule is because they need to make sure the information they give is true and by giving truthful information it makes the audience shocked and gives them facts which they did not know. An example would be from the drugs documentary as we find out true information as the presenter goes and meets the suppliers of the drugs which are provided and then we see them make it in front of us this shows they know what they're doing and has the proof of the fact. 

The Good and Bad News Report

In the above news report we have made a good news report and a bad one. The good features in this news report we see is that formal language has been used throughout and we see a strong structure as there are no problems and looks very realistic because we have mad it look like a real life news. The bad news report has clear faults first would be speaking slang as the news presenter say's 'Yo' this is not a formal approach and we see that during the interview in hyde park the news reporter is attack by the public, this is why it is very important that you report in a safe location.

Analysing A News Package

Field Reporters

Field reporters are usually known are as correspondent they usually have to go to the scene of the event and get facts then report back to the studio or they have to get a report and present live on TV. When we see the field report we usually see the reporter at the scene of the event and then graphics saying who they are and where they are for example at 1:47:05 we see the reporter explain the stages and we also see the graphics which is on top and says the reporter is live in 'Westminster'. Another convention we see is that the field reporters seem to dress smart always as we see at 1:50:00 the reporter is dressed smart as we see him wear a full suit which makes him look important and intelligent, we also seem to see the reporters have a good understanding about the political background as he explains a lot and this allows the audience to know more because the reporters can go in more detail

Links to studio

links to studio is when there is an event which has happened at random and now the reporter has gone to investigate but they usually do not have that much information or facts as the incident may happened drastically, this is why the reporter usually just explains what they can see and usually the reporter assumes a lot. Links to studio is when the presenter from the studio asks question to the reporter who is at scene. In this news report we see the link to studio at 2.13.05 as the reporter is explaining the pound drop then the presenter from the studio asks if the pound value would bounce back in a few days then we see the reporter explain, we also see that the news shows covers as it unfolds, by this i mean they tell us all the detail they get for example 2:12:38 we see the presenter quickly go to the reporter who has new information about stock level and the pound. 

Mode of Address to Viewer

Mode of address is how it appeals to the audience, by this i mean does how they speak does it aim towards a specific audience for example at 01:47 we see a female speak very formally in good English, this tells us that it is not aimed at the younger audience because if it was they would have tried speaking less formal, we also see that the guests and presenters are well educated as they have a good understanding of politics because at 2 min of the news they speak how voting out has affected the UK. Another convention we see expert and well educated people being interviewed for example 02:59 we see a doctor giving his opinion as he campaigned to leave the European union. 

Interviewing Experts and Witnesses

interviewing expert is some who specialises in the specific field or industry as they have been educated or they've been studying for a long time. interviewing a witness is some one who actually saw what happened or was at the scene of the incident. An example of interviewing an expert would be at 1:23:08 because we see the main campaign leaders for leave give a speech and talking about the how the UK will benefit.  This news doesn't have any witnesses as it is more about the result which has just come in but they usually would make a vox pot for the next day so they can show it to the public. We also see the presenters asks question to the expert for example at 1:30:42 we see the presenter ask a question to the leader of labour.

Report Structure

Report structure is basically how news present the information example in the above news report we see them start off with the sign in and context, by this i mean they say who the reporter is and what they are reporting, for example at 2:12;39 we see the presenter introduce the reporter who is Simon Jack and then he says the reporter has information about stock level and the pound level then we see the reporter explain. Another element we see for report structure is that news often like to have graphs to give the audience better understanding for example at 55:16 we see the reporter having a map of the UK then has a graph to show where in the country voted leave and remain. We also see them use archive footage this is clip has been recorded already for example at 3:00:02 we see the arcade footage of the last EU referendum.  

Actuality footage

Actuality footage is when we see footage from the actual scene, for example in the above example at 1:05:09 we see actual footage of leave campaign people celebrating, the reason showing is very clear to show that everyone is happy with the outcome, we also see it being used while the person is giving a speech this is so that the audience do not get bored of seeing the lady , they use very less actuality footage as they may have shown it before or do not have a long clip. 

Codes & Conventions of Factual TV Programming

Docu Drama- Hotel Rwanda

Docu drama is a documentary which is based on real events but displayed as a drama. People may think it is a re construction but it really is not. These docu dramas avoid having too much voice over as they do not want make it look like an documentary.

In the above example we see hutu refugees going to the refugee camp as they are being attacked by the tusi, and we see in this clip that the refugees are trying to run away from the military as the government wants to half population of the country. An convention we see in docu soap is that the content is mostly focus on the facts of the event for example in the above clip at 0.05 seconds we see all the refugees leave the hotel and get in the trucks to go to the refugee camp, this is what happened in the real life story, Another convention we see is that docu soap do not have any commentary throughout the whole clip above because it is more of a drama than a documentary. Another convention we see is the use of film and narrative technique because in the above clip at 3;15 we see them show the narrative clearly and it also shows the scene in detail as we can see all the action which has taken place. 

Docu soap 

Docu soap is a television documentary which shows the actual lives of people being actually filmed, by this i mean we may follow a person and see what their day to day life contains. Docu soaps show a range of story lines, however we may follow same person every week to see new issues or problems they solve.

The example i have chosen is called The Airport this is a docu soap as we follow the same people for a series of time and we see them deal with different problems. Docu soap contains a lot of drama in them because we see a lot of drama take place for example at 20:40 we see that the some of the plane passengers have been drinking a lot, this means that they may be flight risk this is why it effects them. Another convention we see in docu soap is that they mostly leave with a cliff hanger for example at 22:10 we see that they give a snippet of next weeks shows as they say the airport will have a decoration overnight this interests the audience at home, this means they'll tune in next week to see what happens. Another convention is that throughout the whole episode we have commentary or a voice over who acts like an presenter for example at 22min it says "next time", this means that there presenter is actually not physical.

Infotainment

Infotainment is basically information which is based upon programming, this may include content like entertainment, this is because the want more audience to watch the programe and also make it more popular so more of the audience know about.

The above example i have used is called The Gadget Show as it is information based and it also is entertaining as they have content which is fun to watch. Infotainment programe have different conventions, one convention infotainment shows have is that it crosses the line between journalism and entertainment because at 2:31 we see the presenter go and ask the expert about TV's, then the presenter adds own opinion and they do experiment  which entertains the audience. Another convention is that infotainment usually involves big personalities in terms of the presenters because at 9.01 we hear the presenter which has a very friendly voice which we feel welcomed to and also they way she speaks get more audience interested. Another convention they use is presentation of facts, by this i mean it in order for example at 1 min the presenter talks about the 4K TV'S and then we see them say facts then we see the expert talk about the 4k TV in detail.

Reality TV

Reality TV is when the program has content which follows actually event and the program often features ordinary people rather than professional actors. By following ordinary people you get to see the life style this entertains a lot of the audience.

The above example i have chosen is Keeping up with the Kardashians as this is a programe which is a reality TV as it goes in detail about their life style. A convention we see being used is the construct of the characters and narratives for example at 5;38 we see Kim Kardashian getting make up put on her face and she is telling us a story, this means the audience know the show revolves around that character.Another convention we see in reality TV is that in the recent year it has started to focus on the celebrities because at 12.03 we see the ,mansion the Kardishian live in, however the kardashian weren't that famous from the beginning as they featured in another show and this is where we saw Kim Kardashian as a stylist, so from an ordinary person she want to being famous. Another convention  we see in reality TV is that they have a bit of background music for example 19;03 we hear a background music, this keeps it a lot interesting as sometimes it can get boring hearing people speak for a long time.

Educational TV

Educational TV is programs which teaches you and have no other purpose, many children programes are educational as they teach the children different things. Educational TV make us learn new things and it also allows us to explore in new things.

The above example is called Air Crash Investigation, this programmes educates the audience as it tells us how planes are operated and we also find out what causes plane crashes.A convention we see in educational programmes is that it's very factual for example at 3;09 we the presenter give us a fact that the plane was very big as it fit 500 passenger and also says it's bigger than other planes in the sky. Another convention we see is that we we learn through the main character for example at 6;02 we see that the engine smoke up through that we understand if one of the engine break it can cause the plane to crash. Another convention we see is that they have a presenter which is explaining everything for example at 5;56 the presenter explains what an ecam is as the presenters says the ecam is used to see if there is any malfunction with the plane.

Wildlife Documentaries

Wildlife documentaries is a programme which features animals or non-human living creatures. Many of the wildlife documentary allow the audience gain facts about animals and also it shows the presenters in the habitat of the animals.

The above example i have used is called 'Deadly 60' this programme we see animals feature in them and we learn facts about different animals. One convention we see in wildlife documentary is that it in directly teaches the audience as it has a lot of facts about the animal for example at 0;40 sec we see the presenter tell us that although the snakes head is short it can have big size food. Another convention is that we mostly see males do the wildlife documentary and often they are white and have a middle class voice for example at 1 min we see the presenter who's white and they also have nice middle class voice which the audience enjoys as it clear and easy to understand. Another convention we see in wildlife documentary is that it has handheld camera footage because they are going to natural habitat where animals live  for example at 1;06 we see the camera man holding the camera as they cannot have a lot of equipment as it can scare the animals also to record drastic footage you need to be fast.

Special Interest Documentary

Special interest documentary is when the documentary focuses on a niche subject and also it will appeal to a small audience as not everyone will be interested in the subject, often all the documentary are not shown on mainstream TV as they do not appeal to everyone. 

The above example i have chosen is a programme called 'Great Canel Journeys', this is a special interest programme as they focus on a interest which appeals to a niche audience by this i mean that not everyone finds canal's interesting. A convention we see mostly in special interest programmes is that the always have one presenter for example at 00;31 we meet the presenters, this is where we see two presenter husband and wife doing the introduction. Another convention we see is that special interest programmes appeal to a very specific culture for example at 10.50 there are going through different canal, not everyone is interested in canals. Another convention we see in special interest programmes is that the camera is handheld as you can see 09;09 we see the camera being handheld as the camera moves up and down and also  there would not be enough space for them to have put a tri-pod on the boat.

Make Over Show

An make over show is when we go through a development stage by this i mean that we will have a situation at the beginning then we will see the development over the show, often the show the public's life is transformed for the better as they may have difficulties or it may be making the environment around them better. 

The example i have used for make over show is called '60 Minute Make Over', this programme decorate people houses in 60 minutes, we see the development on the show. A convention we see in make over show is that usually an expert host takes lead in the programme for example at 01:09 we see the designer called stephine, she is the expert in this case as she will design the new look of the house. Another convention we see is that it always  involves an issue in their life, for example at the beginning we see them talking about there person they want to surprise that person as she is old and the house needed a modern twits. Another convention is that we see disjoint editing as there is a range of thing happening at the house for example at 14;46 we see them at the room the at 14:48 we see her go back to another room which she visited before.

Discussion

Discussion is usually where we see experts talk about a specific topic and we seem to have a live audience so they can ask the experts questions and what they may do differently. Most discussion are set in studio's as it is more appropriate as you can have the audience and expert in the same room. 

The above example i have chosen for discussion is called 'The Big Debate', this is where we see the party leaders debate about what they can offer and we see them talk about the how they may change the government. A convention we see in discussion programme is that usually have serious tone, as you can at 00;01 the tone is very serious as the host does the introduction. Another convention is that we see audience involvement for example at 01;03 the host says the questions are from the audience. Another convention is that the whole show is set in the studio through the 90 minutes. 


Review show

Review show is when the programme purpose is to just talk about products and also shows the audience positives and negatives and also they often show the product being used, review shows often have a specific field, by this i mean some review shows may just focus on mobile phones. 

The above example i have chosen is called 'Fifth Gear', in this show we see them review range of cars, the main focus for this review programme is cars. A convention for review shows is that it will involve one of the presenters trying the actual product out  for example at 12:15 we see the presenter testing out the Ferrari, this tells us that they are reviewing the product as it gives details and then says pros and cons about it. Another convention we see is that the presenter doing the voice over review over the archive footage for example at 15:18 we hear a voice over explaining the features of the car. Another convention is that they have experts in the show as well for example at 35:05 we see an expert talking to the presenter about that mud bikes. 

Chat Show

Chat shows is when the programme's deals with everyday issues which public face, most of the chat shows are set in the studio as chat shows often get people who are actually facing problems, by doing this the presenter tries to come down to the bottom of the problem, the audience is there for entertainment mostly as the audience get to see other people's lifestyle. 

The above example i have chosen is 'The Jerry Springer Show' this is where we see the presenter try to help the people who are on the show with a problem in their life, it makes it public and you can hear both sides of the story and find out who's lying. A convention we see is that chat shows are always based on the studio and there is a live audience for example at 00:56 we see the studio and the audience cheer when the host enters. Another convention we see is that questions are raised towards the guests on the show for example at 05:58 we see the host ask the question to the guest, the response got the audience shocked. Another convention is that on chat show we see guest are drawn from the public and often they are under classed for example at 08:52 we see the guest arguing they look very rough which tells us they are not living well off.

Magazine Show

Magazine show is when the the programme has different elements on the show but focus on special interest, magazine have a studio footage like discussions and also we see recorded footage like expert opinions or even demonstrations.   

The above example i have chosen is called ' The Premier League Show' this is a magazine show as they focus on a specific field but they have range of information. A convention we are used to seeing in magazine shows is that they have usually one studio presenter always for example at 13:40 we see the female presenter in the studio asking an expert questions. Another convention we see is that it usually sticks to one specific topic for example at 14:53 we see them show archive footage of football match and we also see throughout whole programme they focus on the football factor. Another convention  we see in magazine show is that the use experts to give fact for example at 19:12 we see a expert who is Trevor Sinclair feature  and give his opinion on what team he thinks is top 6 in the league.
