Overall of November and December

We have been looking at a new assignment by working on hard news and soft news,each articles target was a 1000 words and my hard news was about drugs being used in the UK and the soft news article was about special guest hosts presenting the wwe show monday night raw. Over the past few weeks the work has shown the differences between hard news and soft news, hard news is looking at major issues that mainly reflect onnegative issues and soft news articles refer to news that is minor, basically it refers to news that is gossip and would interest people more with celebrities. ithink that both articles target wasn't to be a thousand words because both topics information was limited but the sources however to gain information was quite easy,although the soft news articles sources were really easy to find. The hard news was more difficult to find because drugs being a tough subject, getting the specific information about drugs and how it affects people was hard to explain and persuade because it was to try and make people understand more about drugs and who gets involved in them. the soft news article was more easier because it was sports related content that people would enjoy looking at sports such as wrestling, as physical contact is looked at more than any other sports. I think that improvements that I need to make would probably be making them both a bit more longer with more information because they both do not meet the target of a thousand words but the information is pretty useful and can interest people and alert them about what is actually going on

media print last week

last week we looked at Defamation, libel and slander, and what the differences were, we also looked at examples of each of them. we also looked at examples of copyright and what job an editor does and what he has to avoid doing whilst editing, an editor has a very important job that is hard work to get everything right and make sure that he or she is not using copyright material. this all helps us with the assignment that has been set for us to look at important aspects of those things

Talked about the purposes of interviews and wrote them down.

to find out answers from the interviewee by asking them questions,
to know about a certain topic that has been eye catching to others.
Get answers out of the interviewto understand what the interviewee says by giving out responses.
for entertainment purposes a platform to promote
for research purposes- statistics, biographies to raise awareness

Media print

Last week we looked at interview styling and interview techniques that are used in interviews and what was good and what was bad, we done role plays on good and bad interviews. we looked at videos of interview styling where there were six styles of interviews and they were quite unusual and quite unexpected.
Interview styling:
Hard News
Combative
Light Hearted
Entertainment
Inestigative
Promotion


In todays lesson we improved our 800 words assignment on interview techniques and I learnt alot from it on what it was and what the techniques were. Looking back at the essay I wrote I was able to improve and add on to it.

Core

researching different adverts that are analysed and researched about talked about what each advertisement has and doesnt have, how it can be improve
done a group presentation about the bbc on what has changed, how it changed, and what could be improved, in the group was me, lee brown, pip brewster, connor mc quillan and fernando jaiveu mereno hernandez :D

how ever pip wasnt able to turn up to the group presentation therefore it still had to continue without him,

an evaluation on the group presentation as well was to be written

in todays media lesson we were looking at different types of questions
the examples of the types of questions were
Open Questions
the person who gets asked what why, how, when, who, the answers are more than one and there more multiple answers and they’re open and vague answers.
Closed Questions
Good for getting easy answers that are quite simple Single Questionsused for simple surveys and, single questions, open in for sales
Multiple Questions
Extended questions, detailed questions,Direct Questionsquestions directed at the interviewee, for example what/ did you drink last night, it’s about the participants behaviour
Suggestive Questioning
questions that you expect, and practically answer for them, thinking what their answer will be, for example lawyers would ask suggestive questions
Ali G Questions
would you feel safe if a women drove your plane?
Do you think women could have any job?
do you think women can be prime ministers?

i found out what they were and was able to understanding those different types of questions that can be asked.
