Client research

 The client for this project is BBC Three and BBC England.

The BBC/British Broadcasting Corporation (which was founded on 18th October 1922 by a group of wireless manufacturers) is the worlds oldest and largest national broadcaster. They have an estimated 28,979 employees all in different sectors and job roles. But out of all of the job roles, it shows that in 2019 the main occupied job under BBC is programming.

When it first aired in the 1920's, the news was supplied by an agency and music, drama and talks was aired for only a few hours daily. The significant changes from 1922 to 2022 that the BBC has undergone has been creating television broadcasts, mulitiple BBC channels in multiple forms of media with loads of different genres like kids,news,music,tvs shows etc,, television centre and many more.



Rivalling ITV, BBC has 10.2% more viewers that ITV. Making BBC,still, the largest national broadcaster. 

Two of the branches of BBC (BBC Three and BBC England) are collaborating together to launch Northern Voices! This new partnership,which has been running only since 2016) is inviting independent production companies to create content reflecting on the life of teens- young adults (16-24). The documentary area is to produce a documentary (of any style) about culture in the digital age, reflecting on how technology has shaped the way younger people live.



The main thing i have learnt from my research is that the BBC is such a broad company with loads of different genres, needs, content etc, that my product does not need to follow down a strict path and i have creative freedom to do whatever i want and it still have the opportunity to be successful.

evaluation and feedback reflection

For this project, the end result definitely came out way worse that I what I had envisioned. This is due to a number of reasons such as files not properly downloading, the video going blurry randomly etc. But up until then, the project was going smoothly. The main skill that I have but during this project was research skills and problem solving. Even though what would of been the solution to the problems were not working, as in files corrupting, downloads not working etc, it has still helped me build up my problem solving skills as I now know how I can fix certain issues to an extent. This can also tie into the research skill as I have had to cross reference a lot of thing on how to fix certain problems. Another example of research skill is client research , researching different types of documentaries, equipment, examples of documentaries of certain styles etc.

11/04/2022 I kicked off the production stage by finding suitable archive YouTube videos that are going to be used in the video. I then used a safe YouTube downloader to download the videos.

Most of the needed clips were simple, easy to film short clips of stuff such as someone scrolling through social media. The equipment I needed for the clips were : my phone, a camera, camera battery and an sd card. I did not need a tripod as it was suitable for me to just hold the camera as I was scrolling through my phone.  After I finished filming, I then went back to the pc and took the sd card out of the camera and inserted it into the pc. This is so I could then retrieve the videos off th...
