mise en scene

Top Gear

The presenters wear smart/casual clothing, aged around 35-50 appeals to the target audience (males aged 16-40).The set design connotes the industrial/motoring aspect of the show to the audience through the use of car seats for the presenters to sit on and the V10 coffee table. The broken down vehicle propped up in the background also connotes the shows heritage and what type of programming they do. The large logo with a spinning blade in the background, on the screen and on the floor helps to build a brand identity. The low level lighting in an aircraft hangar studio has an industrial and mechanical feeling to it and also will appeal to the target audience. On the set there is a yellow and black checker wall which connotes danger. The locations they use are relate to the topic that they are filming, they often film on an air field when testing a new car which lends to the iconography. 

Research task

Football history

I have found the ‘Football database’ which shows football data from all around the world and gives world ratings and statistics on certain clubs and how well they have been doing. You can check up on British premier league rankings and find out what the score was in recent or past games, this is known as a public archive

databases and libraries

·       Audience analysis organisations – These look in to the amount of people and what type of people watch what programs based on their demographic, age, gender and socioeconomic status, for example Barb research into the amount of people who watch certain programs on TV and VOD this shows what programmes are most popular, this can help us when making ‘Life in-between’ as we can find what programs are similar to ours so we can research into why it is successful and how we can use intertextuality to compete with the most popular programs that already exist in our genre. 

·       Public archives – A collation of information that Is open to the public and maintained by the local counsel, these public archives are for the research. An example of a public archive would be The National Archive and this service would help us when making ‘Life in-between’ as it holds factually accurate information that we can reference in our content.

·       Media databases – A list of contacts that is useful to someone working in the media industry most commonly journalists. The BFI (British film institute), IMBD, channel 4 archive and the BBC archive are examples of media databases as they store all sorts of media from the past.

·       Content libraries – Content is uploaded to a central location so a company can access it as a resource many content libraries are not digitalised and is an example of technological convergence. An example of this would be Youtube or any creative commons website i.e. Getty images.

·       Press archives – Where all the major news articles and newspapers are kept for historical reference. An example of this is Press association. A lot of this is stored on blogs and can use citizen journalism.
