Don't just do the bog standard production, how can you stand out?!| Now that all your research is in and you have a real hold on this topic. 1** Describe in detail what you intend to do for your production and HOW it is linked to your CI work. (Will you conform or subvert) 2** Use the mark scheme and discuss how your idea meets the criteria. 3** Produce a Production Diary. Write out a step by step plan of action for the completion of the Production. 4** Using the timeframe that you have been given. Set yourself interim deadlines for each step. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EXAMPLE Intentions Statement My linked production piece will be a 5 paged promotional feature in Fourfourtwo magazine on four footballers, three male and one female ranging from 16-21, who have been recently signed to Chelsea Football Club. The Promotional feature is a recent addition to the magazine and allows advertisers or football clubs the opportunity to promote products and players in a feature article. Powerade, Nike and Swindon Football club have all recently appeared in the promotional feature. For my article Chelsea FC will be using this feature article to promote their future English stars and start the rise in interest to the Women’s football. My linked production piece will conform to the codes and conventions of the magazine, whilst story and narrative will subvert the normal conventions of the magazine and sporting industry. As my critical investigation shows, sporting institutions focus on exploiting the top sporting heroes and are inclined to give female stars much less attention. I plan to subvert this by focusing my article on four new footballers and by giving the female footballer the biggest feature in the article. As they are young footballers they aren’t know yet and the focus on them is strictly on their talent. For my feature article I will need four main characters one being female and I will also need to set up a match play situation with around 14 to 22 players. Fourfourtwo use a lot of highly emotive action shots, so I’m going to need to catch shots of my characters looking intense and playing football. As well as this I’m going to need to take shots of the match play situation I’m going to organise. The content of the article will be focused around the feeling of getting signed to a premiership football club and the prejudices faced being a female footballer. Chelsea FC have been accused of buying their way to success and criticised for not producing that many young, fresh and exciting English players. This article will promote Chelsea FC’s ideologies as being hardworking and very patriotic, which my critical investigation shows is very important in sports, they will gain a positive reputation from this and in turn more fans meaning more profit. Given the fact that Fourfourtwo is a football magazine I’m going to need access to a football pitch as well as footballs and a lot of Chelsea FC gear to keep the creditability of the article. Fourfourtwo maintain a high quality of images so therefore I’m going to have to use a top quality camera and only take still images as video footage won’t produce the required quality. I plan to create my article on InDesign and edit my images on Photoshop because they are both actually used by magazine production companies and therefore allow for professional standards. |
