Print Work- Initial Magazine Idea

Here's a preview of my Print Work. I focused on creating a magazine cover has similarities to other sport magazines such as; Match of the Day. My magazine cover follows all Codes and Conventions of a Magazine front cover.

There's a Title (masthead) 'Score' which is easily recognised at the top of the magazine with a bold red background. Most common mastheads are usually one or two word, which has a trademark or unique font that differentiates them from other magazines.
Other conventions that it follows is the use of a 'Puff' and 'Buzz words'. The puff offers something else to the magazine such as a free giveaway. An example is the Match of the Day magazine ( seen on the right), that offers FREE Match Attackers when you purchase the magazine. With my print production, I used the buzz word 'Exclusive' for the subtitle which links with the main image. By using a buzz word, it attracts attention towards it causing the reader to view it.

Interview Questions/Transcript

Interviewer (Collins Alfred)- Hello, Roberto thanks for joining us here at Oaklands and I've heard that you've being staying and living here in England for about 7 months now?

 

Interviewee (Roberto Lagerman)- Yes it was 6 months and a half and I enjoyed it a lot actually. Like time goes really really fast. Its quite nice here in England.

 

Collins- So what have you being doing?

 

Roberto- I've been here in Oaklands studying and improving my English and also to mature myself because I'm here on my own. Its nice because you understand many things about yourself and obviously also sport. I've played football with the first team of Horndean Hawks and its not obviously in the same level as Juventus but, its quite nice. And I love English football and English mentality.

 

Collins- Yeah cuz you play there for the Under 18s at Juventus?

 

Roberto- Yes, Yes I do!

 

Collins- So just a quick question, have you met any famous...

 

Roberto- Well I went to like, if your in the academy, you've got like free tickets like once every month to go and see a match. So you're like here near the bench of the Juventus, like near like 1 metre from the normal fans so, they can just talk to the normal football players and those stuff, insulting them if they play bad or something like that so yeah its quite cool.

 

Collins- So from a young age has any specific player inspired you to pick up an interest in football?

 

Roberto- So in the modern age of course, now there's one guy, he's retired, oh no he plays in the old tem. He's my idol, Alessandro Del Piero Captain of Juventus, legendary one but then, I'm a striker so I prefer Ibrahimovic or Van Basten. Those type of footballers that are like complete and everything and our really really good. They do everything just good, they never do something bad.

 

Collins- My personal one is Pogba, Paul Pogba.

Interview idea

Here's a preview of my interview broadcast. In this production piece, I (Collins Alfred) is interview Roberto Lagerman- who is an exchange student from Italy. He has an aspiring future due to his position as a striker in the Under 18s Juventus Academy. Roberto came to the UK just over 6 months ago, here to study and improve his English language. During his time here, he joined the first team of a local football team (Horndean Hawks), where he plays has the striker. In this exclusive interview, Lagerman explains to me what its like living and playing in Italy and which player inspires him.

Production Piece- Interview

In addition to my previous production idea ( Title Sequence), I'm also producing an interview piece wish could be shown during the programme and can also be available to view online.
Here's a Match of the Day interview with Nick Grimshaw after his 5-a-side challenge. He's an English television and radio presenter who has hosted various shows on Radio 1 and is also notable on Channel 4, E4, BBC1 and many more.

This broadcasting piece is from Match of the Day Kickabout. Its a Match of the Day 2 extra for children's television, broadcasted on CBBC. Presented by Ore Oduba and is a spin off to the long running production of Match of the Day.

A brief transcript of the first 2 minutes
Presenter 1- Do you have a lot of Deep heat on?
Nick- I needed it, their proper tight. (Reference to his leg muscles)
P1- Hi Nick thanks for joining us. We're here at St Georges Park
Nick- I know I'm excited to be here
P1- How was it?
Nick- Its being really really good, I've never been to a place like this before. We went to Tottenham in April and we did a bit of training there. Its tough doing the show and the training. (Nick then goes on about the activities his done)
P1- How does it compare to the usual preparation for Radio 1 Breakfast Show?
Nick- Usually there's no ritual, we just turn up and see what happens. The weird thing is that I've ate more unhealthy today then I ever have doing the breakfast show.
Presenter 2- Off the pitch you kinda live the famous football life style. You've got the fans asking for photographs, nickname 'Grimmy' but, I've you got the skills on the pitch?
Nick- Do you know what, I've not, I don't know, I've never really played or been into football. My brother, my dad, my nephew, they're all massively into football and always taken into Man United as a kid, they their really good. My brother and dad, I dunno maybe like once its happened it could just be natural.

The interview follows all Codes and Conventions of an interview. Having the interviewee on the left or right so, in this case Nick is on the left and the interviewer are on the right. Various types of shot were used; from mid-shots to close ups to full body shots. Throughout the interview, Nick Grimshaw does not look at the camera only the interviewers. Because by looking at the camera is breaks the fourth wall between the audience and the programme.

Production Work

For my broadcasting piece, I have decided to do a Lifestyle show. Firstly, I researched on any current lifestyle TV shows which I found interesting. As I am interested in sport, I looked into the show Match of the Day and Top Gear. Both shows are quite similar because they're both review/sport shows.

My idea is to create a Sport TV show called "SCORE". It will have a great similarity to Match of the Day. Analysing the Man of the Match title sequence, I have found out that in order to create a successful title sequence I will have to capture many different clips of either a skill performed or a goal scored to create a fast paced broadcast piece. Here are a few clips and photos from my football matches that I wish to use for my production.

Title Sequence

In a typical Title Sequence, either a TV programme or movie, all conventions seem to be the same. A title sequence is a method by which a film/programme presents their title, cast members, key production utilizing visuals and sound. The aim of a title sequence may be to establish the characters, genre, mood or atmosphere.

• Name of the production
• Cast Members
• Producer
• Director
• The Title

Match of the Day Title Sequence 1997-98:

BBC SPORT is the production for this broadcasting piece. BBC Sport is a department of the BBC North division which provides sports coverage for BBC Television, radio and online.

Mise en Scene

The opening sequence of this broadcast piece does not include any long shots; mainly close ups and mid-shots. Through out the opening sequence, it shows short, fast passed scenes from live played matches and filmed close ups of players, football boots and tickets.

History of Title Sequences

Before I start my broadcasting piece, I thought I'd research more into Title Sequences in order to emphasise the importance of any title sequence in a production piece.

The first examples of title sequences are found in silent movies. In such productions, it consisted of simple title cards which informed the audience of the film title, characters etc. They were usually presented at the beginning of a film.
Such title card are often created by certain artist who were employed by the studios; was normally presented with white titles on a black background but, some included decorations such as drawings or fancy borders. These title cards weren't just only used in film but also old cartoons such as Mickey Mouse.

More modern title sequence tends to incorporate fast shots of earlier episodes or shows, presenters and cast members' names. These are mainly done in a television title sequence. Nowadays, title sequences are more evolved than they were many years ago.
This is a special title sequence for the The Simpsons' which was designed by the controversial street artist Banksy in order to replace the normal standing couch scene.
