Evaluation

Our production was called Reality Shock, it is a show about putting two different classes in one house ( upper and working class students) the show was to allow others to see how different classes cope in each others jobs ie working as bin men or working in very successful company's. The show was trying to be similar to 'The Only Way Is Essex' and 'Made In Chelsea' with a bit of 'Big Brother to it as the groups of people would live in one big house and have to budget on things ie on luxuries and food.
Our product was fairly successful, our intentions changed a lot through out the making of Reality Shock as our ideas were far to extreme and expensive to put into our production.
we did fufill our intentions but with a few minor changes along the way.
We were given the choice between structured reality, soaps, romcoms or a fly on the wall documentary. Our production had to be a pre-watershed production, after choosing which groups we wanted to be in, we chose to creating a reality show. This is because we all mostly watch reality TV.

The genre for our production is structured reality like 'Made In Chelsea' and 'TOWIE' (The Only Way Is Essex) with a bit of big brother in it, our product portrayed different classes workings and upper class 4 from each class and putting them in one big house and each week they swap jobs with each other I.e the working class will work in a very high end company and the upper class will work in low end jobs like bin men etc.
The way we targeted the audience is by looking at other reality shows and found out the target audience for those shows thus making a conclusion of the target audience of 16 - 35 and working class women tend to watch these kinds of reality shows.
The issues raised during the production was that cast members did not show up so. Had to improvise most of the time, our group didn't exactly get along either so it was quite difficult to get in contact with each other to get things done on time. We did eventually get over our differences with in the group and get the filming and everything done on time.
Our website and other interactive media on the Internet went well and gave us a lot of help with feedback from audiences as we created facebook posts like a questionnaire for people to answer to help us outline what will work best  in our show and what people would like to see on TV.
If we did this again i would have made sure we were more organised and planed the cast better, also location would have been found and would actually fit the style of show we were trying to shoot as it didn't really fit in to the style we had in mind.
The issues that the show raises are how people are stuck on stereotyping classes as we think some upper class people are all stuck up and don't care about others but themselves and their money and working class people are tacky and chavs which is not the situation as these stereotypes are made, the show tries to explain to people and show people how others cope out of their comfort zone sharing a space with people they don't know and having to budget and rashen with food and work in places they never thought they would have to work.
The third media platform would be in magazines or posters , flyer's and billboards to allow everyone to know the show and,when its on and what channels, and what time the show will be on at, also possible details about if its on catch up TV or not for those who may miss the show at the time its on at.

institutional context

- The ownership of  "The Only Way Is Essex" is Lime Pictures

- E4 , More 4 , Film 4 and 4Music and all subsideries of Channel 4.
-A synergy of channel 4 is that their website works with their TV shows to promote their film channels,and games for your phone 
- Channel 4 has converged TV and the internet together such as E4 on TV and
- Channel 4 is a conglomerate because they have the subsidiaries that branch off them, these are all well know and a few of them are: E4, Film4, 4Music etc. This essentially means that Channel 4 focus on cross media ownership - which means that  they start to focus on number of media outlets.
- Channel 4 is a publicly owned company and this means that it is a commercially funded public service broadcaster

intentions

Intentions

from my research i have found out that the target audience for 'TOWIE' and 'Made In Chelsea' Is working class women as well as ages from 16 - 35, i have found out that in reality TV shows there is a lot of drama between the girls and in the relationships on the show. the shows tend to start off happy and end on a dramatic cliffhanger to then continue with the next episode the week after. The show preview will be between 2 - 3 minutes long. The show will also be broudcast on TV before 10pm at night and the show will last up to 30 - 45 minutes on a Thursday night once a week.

I intend to crate a website , facebook page and twitter page all to allow audience feedback to help deveop our show and get feed back on what the audience want to see happen in the next episode. Also seeing as the technology has developed and more people seem to respond to social media sights and via the internet making a website is an easier way to allow people to acces the latest gossip about the show and also to show when the next episodes / seiries are on as well as chatch up on demand on the website there will be the latest episodes / series showing on the website so the audience wont miss out on the show.
The website , facebook page and twitter page will be easy to navigate around similar to the way the way channel 4 catch up desplayes their webpage. The website will also consist of the logo of the show and the cast members with a small description aboyt them all. There will also be ways for the audience to interact and ask questions on the page and there will be a constant update of peoples tweets that pop up to the right hand side of the page to show whats the latest trends about the show.

Other ways of presenting the show will be in magazxines and billboards to allow every type of person to know about the show and allow the show to gain more viewers.













The Mini advert

The mini advert

F.A..I.R , i am going to use fair to analise the mini advert.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9UlaKOIdZg


F = Form,
A= Audience
I  = Institutions
R = Representation

Form -We can tell that this is an advertisement for the mini clubman and not just a clip showing a car because each of the cars seems to be doing tricks - one after the other. the Genre, it comes across as a bit action based with the cars jumping all over the highway doing tricks, and a bit thriller because it puts you on edge as your expecting the cars to crash.

Audience - The audience it aimed at men and women but mainly men aged from 18 - 40 years.


Institutions -this can refer to the specific type of institutions this is youtube and how its part of google.  Youtube is viral and therefore, it can reach everyone in most countries.


Representation - is the way the clip is represented to the audience, the way the clip is shown is that the cars do tricks almost implying that if you buy this car it may do tricks like this.
