Final clip

 This is a preview of one of my shows that would be on my T.V channel. The show is called looking back where I would back a great rivalries.

This is the show which I created a billboard for.

When making this clip there was footage of a presenter opening the video. This footage was corrupted and could not be used.

Ancillary part 2 - Ident

This is my ident that will be used in all of my videos and at the beginning of each T.V show. I have done this because it informs the audience that this show or video is made by The Real Football Channel.

Last minute goals - top 5

This is a video that I created in Final Cut Pro, I downloaded the goals from youtube and put them together to create a Top 5 video.

Red Cards - top 5

This is a video that I created in Final Cut Pro, I downloaded the goals from youtube and put them together to create a top 5 video, the order of the red cards is just our opinion.

Own goals - top 5

This is a video that I created in Final Cut Pro, I downloaded the clips from youtube. This is another video for my top 5 page.

assists - top 5

This is a video that I created in Final Cut Pro, I downloaded the glips from youtube.

Red cards

This video has also provided me with some red cards which will go into my top 5 videos. This video gave me inspiration to create a top 5 video for red cards.

Assists

This video has also provided me with some assists which will go into my top 5 videos.

Goals

This video has given me some goals that I will put into my top 5 videos.

Retro fantasy football logo

I have created this logo also using photoshop. I retrieved the background image of the internet. The font used for the word retro I got from the website dafont.

Facts and trivia logo

Using photo shop I have created a logo for my my facts and trivia page. The background is an image of the internet, I also downloaded the font off of the internet.

Ident

When creating this logo firstly I used the animation tool so the ball inside the badge would spin. Then I put the logo into Final cut pro.
In Final cut pro I put footage of a football hitting a camera and put that in front off the logo with the ball spinning. Next I duplicated the logo to make the ident last longer. Lastly I got a soundtrack of benssound which is a royalty music site meaning that I can use it with out copyright infringement.

Fantasy Football GIF

I used photoshop to create a GIF, I created this gif as a button for my retro fantasy football. When creating this GIF in photoshop I used the tool bar to adjust and rearrange my images, I also use the animation tool where I animated it frame by frame.

The reason I created a GIF to use a button is to make the retro fantasy football more engaging, this makes the fantasy football more engaging because the user's will see legends of the sport and that will draw them in and make them want to take part in the retro fantasy football.

Another reason why I created a gif is because other sporting websites such as Sky sports and BT sports also using moving images to make their websites more engaging.

Website idea

My current idea for my website is to have a VAULT page, which will contain things such as top 10 goals from the 90's or the best 5 players from the 1966 world cup.

Another idea is to have fantasy football where you pick a team of players between 1960 - 2000 and then there is a simulator which picks a random weekend from that period of time and the points system would depend on how the players played based on performance data for that player at that particular point in his career. 

Logo Idea

via GIPHY

These has inspired me to create a 3D ident.

Clip Research

I was looking a various iconic and legendary goals for research because I want to re create a goal for my ancillary task.
I have chosen a few goals which stood out for me, most of this would be to hard to replicate but I am still looking for some more realistic goals.

Logo Research

I have looked at other sporting channels' logo and I have looked at how the logos represent each channel in their own way. This research is going to help me design my own ident because I have learnt some of the main conventions of an ident and how they are used to represent a brand.

This was my first time using canva. Canva is was very easy to use and a nice way to lay out you research, also there are a lot of different designs so you can display your work any way would want. The only negative to canva is that you can not upload videos to back your research.

These are some links of idents inspirations from the T.V channel Dave. This T.V channel is similar to mine because it is light and silly Channel, also Dave have a very similar target audience to mine.

Current website Idea

Audience Research Analysis

I have made this presentation where I am talking about what I have learnt from audience research and how this has effected my website.

Billboard Research

This is a very clever bit of advertisement because BT sport are informing their target audience that they show all four of the major tournaments all in one poster, this is so clever because not along is it a very creative poster it is also saving BT sport money because instead of making four separate billboards for all four competitions they just made one. This technique also means that their target audience will be excited about all four competitions all at once, this may lead to more people paying BT sport because of all the competitions they broadcast.  This technique is even more effective because these posters were released before the season had even started.

Website Design - 1st draft

This is my first draft of what I want my website to look like. I have used the research i have already gathered from other sporting to websites to give some sort of outline of what I want my website to look like.

Poster research

This poster gave me the idea of having a landscape poster with two images side by side, the two images would be one of a retired or former player E.G Ryan Giggs and the other image would be a current player most likely playing in a similar position and for the same team E.G Lingard. This would express that my T.V channel is going to compare vintage/past and current football and the players.

Poster research

The idea that I got from this poster is this poster is that I could create several posters of iconic moments such as Pele scoring the bicycle kick at a world cup or Maronda scoring the hand of god or when henry knocked out republic of Ireland with a handball.

Research ideas

This screen shot represents how the sporting and football world has developed and evolved over the years, the idea for the poster is I could have a poster of football players performing the same action E.G shooting. The first player would be a player from the 60's all the way down to a current player, this would express that my T.V channel is about vintage/past football.

I also thought that I could create different programs talking about how different aspects of football has change in the past 50 years, for example the amount of money that is put into football and how much all players own.

Theory Lesson - Genre

How to identify Genre:

Conventions - Mise en scene (props, costume, lighting, set character performance)

Language - Accents, formal and non formal.

Production techniques - (editing, camera angles and movement, structure, filters, effects and sound)

Narrative structures (linear, non linear, abstract, narrative ect)

How is genre important?

• Hollywood like genre because of familiarity so the audience are comfortable and happy.
• So they is a clear target audience.
• Template and pattern E.G if it is a western the director knows there needs to cowboy hats and a big shot off. 
• People can gain specific knowledge on certain genres - experts/specialists on their genres. Some actors and directors will only do certain genres normally just one genre.
• Such as Will ferrel who is normally just in comedies. The downside he might only be able to get comedies roles, stuck in a role (pigeon hold/type cast).
• Fans of the genre know the codes and conventions - When a wizard with a pointy hat slams down his staff a magic beam of light will appear, because the audience knows this it makes it easier for movie makers.

Distributor: 

• Genre makes it a lot easier for distributors when marketing movies because they all ready their target audience.
• Fans will buy movies just because of the genre.
• Provides a structure for retail outlets, when selling the movie.

Steve Neale: 

Key Quotes - "Difference is absolutely essential to the economy of genre"

                      " How is this evident in your own work"

There needs to be small difference in every film - Variation within each genre.

John hartley -  argues that genres can not be put together "the limit the meaning - potential of a given text. Not correct there are many films where they are put together E.G sereinty (spin off firefly).

He then goes on to say the same text can belong to different genres in different countries or time

John fikes defines genres as 'attempts to structure some order into the wide range of texts and meanings that circulate in our culture for the convenience of both producers and audiences'.

- genre is just for connivence to make it easier for audiences.

Male gaze - the camera is used to observe women from the perspective of a male. This often results in the fragmented shots, close ups or tracking shots of the female form. Example James bond die another day when bond meets jinx.

Binary Opposition - the contrast between two mutually exclusive concepts or things that creates conflict drives narrative E.G good/evil

Theory Lesson Narrative

Narrative: The structure of the story.

Structuralism: A belief that there is structure in all things - that items within a certain paradigm (a class of elements with similarities) follow specific patterns.

Equilibrium theory - Tododrov :

Equilibrium - the setting is established, key characters are introduced and the story is set up.

Disruption: oppositional characters appear and the story takes a particular direction.

Conflict: the lives of the characters and events are interwoven. Tension builds.

Climax: highest point in tension where things begin to get sorted.

New equilibrium: matters are sorted, problems are involved.

For the Birds

Equilibrium - The bird standing on the telephone wire.
Disruption - Birds fighting on the telephone wire.
Conflict - Small birds gaining up on the big bird, laughing at him because he is different (bigger).
Climax - Big bird hanging on the wire while the small birds try and make him fall off the wire.
New equilibrium - Now the big bird is laughing at the small birds because they have lost all of their feathers (different).

Binary Opposition - Levi-strauss : Focussing on the different sets of opposite values which reveal the structure of the media texts. Good v Bad. Live and death E.G Martian - Matt damon vs mars (trying to live)/ Lord of the Rings - Hobbit vs Sauron/Hobbits v Golum/ Hobbits v Humans

Linear/no linear - chronological vs non: Linear (structure) story telling (start - middle - end) Simple 

(A-B-C)  Deadpool is a no linear film = the film starts at the middle. 

Structure- Open structure - there will be another film E.G inception, there is more to see.   

Closed - everything in that film have finished

Abstract, narrative, performance, and hybrid - (music video)

Vladimir propp - 7 characters 

Roland Barthes-  enigma codes, semiotic, action, culture, symbolic - 

5 Codes:

1. Action code = Meaning of specific words, actions or looks.
2. The Semic code = The connotations of a character/place/object.
3. The symbolic code = Metaphor or figure of representation.
4. Cultural code = connections to the world outside the text.
5. Engima code = Puzzels set up to be solved by audience.

Propp's Character Theory - Chole Abraham - 7 Character Types

1. Hero - traditionaly male - to safe the day. t
2. Villain - male/female - stop the hero from getting what he wants. Anyone you wants the opposite to the hero.
3. Dispatcher - the person you sends the hero they mission. Normally an authority figure.
4. Donor/Mentor - Gives the hero someone to help them on their journey (weapon) (same person as dispatcher).
5. Helper - Anyone who helps the hero and ttys to get to the equilibrium.
6. Heroine - The thing or person the hero wants to save or price at the end of the film, could be an object or love interest.
7. False Hero - the betrayer, someone who you think is on the good side but then betrays the hero.

Researching other Websites!!

Website research

My initial ideas for my website

My current idea is to create a T.V channel just focusing on Football.  My website will have content on world wide football, all of the top leagues. My website will have a score centre page with the live scores from the MLS to the Premier League. There will be a sub section for each with live updates, the team sheet, injuries and substitutions. There will be a live chat for league where there can questions from the users and the host for each will also ask questions to the audience to get their opinion on the live scores.

This is my initial idea that I am going to use for my planning going forward and incorporate more of the research when I do it.

Audience Profile

TOM











Gender - Mainly Male

Age - 12-18

Interests -

• Playing football for local team, also playing football with friends at the common and watching his team play (match of the day).

I have made this audience profile because 

The Different ways to perform audience research

There are two ways to conduct audience research, quantitative and qualitative:

  Audience profile- this is so you know you to target when constructing you audience research

  Quantitative audience research is to do with quantities and numbers, this type of data is easy to measure when you put your statistics in to a a graph, this will also show you how you audiences behave.

  Qualitative then looks in more depth to explain why the audience have behaved in a certain way.

  When you use both of this research techniques and put the data together it would be very useful, the quantitate will define your findings and qualitative will help you describe your findings.

  Surveys and Questionnaires:

  A survey will have multi choice questions, this data is easy to into a graph and then have statistics. Surveys are easier for audiences because they are quick and easy but the data will not be as in depth.

  A questionnaire might require more time from you audience because this question will need longer answers, this data is good because you will receive more detailed responses.

  Focus Groups:

  This is similar to a group interview, when you a perform a focus group,  the researcher will ask a group of relevant people a question and they will discuss and share their opinions while the researcher observes.  This sort of research is good because you get immediate responses and you can hear a debate of the good and the bad of your product.  Your research can be affected because the people in the discussion may be influenced by your presence.

  Why is audience research important?

  This is important because it gives you insight into the opinion of your target audience likes about your product and what to improve and adapt, audience research will tell help make your product appealing to a wider audience.
