Unit 20 Factual Production Evaluation
Definition
of evaluation:
Definition: Evaluations is
where we look at the work that we have done and think about the good and bad
points, the positives and negatives and how we might work differently in the
future.
Use the following headings
Compared with original
intention
• How does your actual factual production compare to
your original ideas?
A:
Compared to how we originally intended to just focus on the general
election, we looked at a full news report and assessed that there was
more to a report than just one story. Normally a news report would have five or
more stories linked for two-hour sessions. Callum and I were opted to make find
two appropriate stories; we decided to find two short extra
stories that would be able to extend the news report.
Technical qualities
• What did you do and use to make your factual
program strong, e.g. shots, lighting, music, text,
A:
We used two sources from the Manchester Evening News, two completely different
stories that happened in a local area. One was about a man and his attempted
abduction of a toddler; the other was an assault on a man with machete. We also
used a number of images that related towards the stories that we covered, for
the machete attack we used images from the crime scenes and the images of the
mother and her daughter about the attempted abduction.
Aesthetic qualities
• What did you do and use to create the overall look in your
factual program?
A:
We used news reports that had accurate dates and times of the events that
transpired. We also used some responses from the local community telling us
their personal opinions; this was to properly emphasize the situations of the
stories.
Pre-production process
• What did you do in order to plan for your factual production?
A:
We looked at how intersected news reports were fitted into a multiples story
segment, as well as to how it was presented in what context. We then looked at
newsworthy stories that would fit into certain rhythm of a report.
Production Process
• Did you work in a team? What was your role? Did you have
production meetings to help with time management?
A:
Me, Emma and Callum worked on the handling of the Cameras,
this meant making sure that the camera was set up correctly and
when it needed alterations when necessary. I also had an additional job of
being the weather reporter; I had to read the news report and gesture towards
the general location as to where the weather was shifting. As
for how everything turned out, I would say that most of what we tried
to do was achieved. There were certain aspects that we had trouble
with, such as the camera setup and linking the wheeled tripod up with the
lines upon the floor. This was due to other students using the same facility
and altering our sets, however other than that nothing else caused
flaws or hindrances in the production.
• Did the way you put your factual program together,
i.e. style your advert, create the right overall look?
A:
Yes and no. Yes because we were able to follow the correct patterns and
structures of a news report, however most of the presenters we very much
hesitant towards showing any type of emotion or personality. No because the
overall finished production was quite amateur, but it was finished and had all
the appropriate aspects of a news report.
Post-Production
• Did the way you edit your factual program create
the right overall look?
A:
Yes, however most of the performers in the reporting of news were very much bland,
unmotivated, leaving a very robotic vocalization from the reporters. This could
have been less obvious if there was a practiced rehearsal of the script, but
with the lack of time provided we had no way of adjusting.
Self-evaluation
• What were your strengths and weaknesses of your factual
production?
A:
Strengths:
o The news report was able to follow the correct patterns and
structures of a real news report.
o The news reports had accurate dates and times of the events
that transpired.
o We used some responses from the local community telling us
their personal opinions to properly emphasize the situations of the stories.
Weaknesses:
o Most of the use of recording was rushed towards finishing,
almost having everything very last minute.
o The reporters’ barley had enough time to adjust to the
following script, leaving them have barely any knowledge to the planed script.
o Due to other students using the facility, much of the set was
altered and lead to many of us having to remember the formatted layout.
• What was your target audience?
A:
The target audiences are adolescents that would like to know about the event
that have transpired in their community, understand what has happened when and
where in their region. The news report is used to see to the overall state of
their country and occurrences,
as well as their local community events and sporting events.
Comments from others
The people who I have shown this video, have
responded quite well to our produced video, with many of them commenting on how
professional it looks. With a lot of people commenting on how similar the video
is towards an actual news report, from the introduction music and to the
weather report. They did say that the reporters acted unnatural, however they
said this did not matter so long as it wasn’t too glaring of a problem.

The creative media in the video talks about how the Newspaper Press has many different types of paper the public may be able to read, but the two main published Newspaper are 'The Sun' and 'Times'. The Sun is a tabloid newspaper witch has more of a prominent emphasis on its images than its documented materiel, Times on the other hand is a broad sheet witch emphasis on its documented materiel than its images.
The Sun is more of a light hatred and almost comedic Newspaper as most of its front page titles are either direct jokes or puns, an example to The Sun's humour is the infamous tittle 'Bin Bagged' in response to the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. As mentioned before The Sun is a tabloid witch means that The Sun focuses on the more general gossip that is spread around the public with some journalism with other media outlets, investigations and interviews.
Times is a broad sheet newspaper witch goes to extensive research involving media outlets and personal interviews with know contributes towards a story. Unlike The Sun Times dose not have a comedic under tone, focusing on the facts and given information. Times display is more formal and filled with particular information on certain subjects that give detail descriptions of the occurrences.
