For our Digital News project, Danny, Helen and I have decided to group again as we worked really good last time. We have already started to brainstorm some ideas, from which some have just been a joke and some other have ended up being more serious. We started with discussing what type of news we wanted and the basics of it for which we created a list:
- The program will be aimed for people between 18-25 years old. This is mainly because we want to show some interesting stories but they might have content non appropriate for under 18 and people over 25 might find it interesting but is not really our goal.
- We will create an MTV news style. We analyzed if we wanted to do a BBC or iTV or Sky types of news, but the set put might be too serious for what we want to deliver.
- No seriousness but professional. We have talked about doing a news segment that doesn't really focus on being serious and talking about topics like war, politics, finance or anything that is too serious. At the same time we want to deliver something good and professional that will look like something on Tv in the appropriate channel.
- Virtual set. It has been decided to create a virtual studio set for the our project. We will work on the design and how to set it up after getting the channels name and more of the identity of what we are creating. Green screen will be used clearly.
We also discussed some ideas for our main story from which a lot of them were just big failures but so far we have come with one that seems to be the one we want to develop. Here are some of the ideas that we had first:
- War in Syria
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles charity event at Cineworld
- Contact Roy from our documentary unit to see if he had any interesting news
- A vox pop pranking people
But in the end we came out with one that seems to be a good an interesting story which is the view of people in pole dancing. A lot of people look at pole dancing as a 'slutty' activity, when a lot of people see it as a sport and a lot of the people that practice this are just normal people like us and not the easy type. We want to dig in this world more and show what this means to these people and how wrong the society by judging. We are still developing the idea and will discuss it with teacher Helen on tueday hopefully and then focus in our live OB from which we don't have anything yet. We are looking and trying to find some good and different stories as we want something unique and suitable for our kind of show.
