Year 12 - What you need to do for your planning

Be able to plan and research a factual programme for television:

• Write about the genre of your idea:

• Develop ideas: 
• programme concept; target audience; development techniques, eg creation of narrative, scenario, synopsis, research process, interview questions
• Research: 
• primary sources, eg contacts, interviews; 
• secondary sources, eg broadcasts, reviews, internet, archives; checking information
• Legal and ethical considerations: 
• filming in public; clearances and permissions; privacy; libel and defamation; requirements of the Broadcasting Act 1994; BBC producers’ guidelines; Ofcom

You should have separate blogs for each of the areas above. You have already created the proposal/pitch (it may need to be finished), I need to be able to see it on your blogs.
