For this unit we were told to create any production that we wanted for instance, short film, advertisement, documentary etc. The production that I chose with my partner Alberta is to do a News Package. Some of the constraints that we faced was that we both had revision to do for our exams so it was put on hold at times and when we came to create the actual production we had to put all our time and energy into getting the news package done. 

Another constraint that we faced was that we could not come up with a story for our news package that would engage our audience, since we wanted to target a large group of people. We had found that us creating questionnaires for people to fill out about what they would want to see on the news helped for instance we had asked what type of news they would enjoy to watch. For instance sport and entertainment were very popular however more males enjoyed sport and more females enjoyed entertainment therefore we chose to do a news story on something that everyone will watch.

Therefore at the the end of it we had decided to put our news package on the topic of a school girls body found at a construction site next to the school. 
Also we found that it was very difficult for us to find someone to interview during the news package since a lot of people that we thought would be good for this role did not want to be on camera so it took us a long time to find someone that would do it for us. 

The editing process of this production was very easy for us since we had done a news package in the past with our teacher so we we knew what we wanted it to look like and the effects, titles, transitions that we wanted to use that would work for our news package.

This week Alberta and I changed our idea from doing a celebrity feud as our news topic and decided that it would be better to do something that everyone would be interested in. Therefore we thought that the best idea would be to do a story about what has happened in the world. Our new story is about a 13 year old that was kidnapped a fews years ago and her body has just been found buried behind her school by a construction company. We then interview Habon as the headteacher to say what she knows about the story which was that they informed her about the body and that she had called the police right away. After this discussion we then started filming straight away.

This week we have created our pitch that explains exactly what we are going to for our News Package and are going to present this presentation. Also this week me and my partner Alberta created a risk assessment that we need to have so that we ensure that everyone present on the day that we are filming is safe from any risks for example wires that may be needed for the camera and lights. Also this week my partner Alberta and i have created a shooting script that will make our job a lot easier when it comes to the day that we film. Lastly we wrote up a script together just to give us a general idea about what our news package story will be about.

This week me and my partner have been working on the pre production paperwork. We have both discussed what type of production that we wanted to create for our last unit and we decided that we wanted to create a news package because when we made it before we both enjoyed it so it seemed like a good idea to do that again. This week I created blog posts of my props and equipment list that I need for my news package, also i created a post for my cast and crew. We haven't added a blog post for our location since we will be using a green screen so the location that it is taking place is not really important as long as it is quiet for us to film and there are no interruptions.
