STUDIO PRODUCTON • OFCOM

-


Ofcom is the communications regulator in the UK.



"We regulate the TV, radio and video-on-demand sectors, fixed-line telecoms, mobiles and postal services, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate."


The watershed is at 9pm and anything shown before this time should be suitable for children to watch. ("Children" includes anyone under the age of 15). 
The things that most relevant to The Big Movie Quiz are offensive language and sexual references. The show is to be broadcast at 9pm therefore we can broadcast offensive language to an extent. There are still come words that we would not be allowed to broadcast and it cannot be excessive. 
In terms of sexual references, material that is equivalent to the BBFC's R18 rating must not be broadcast at any time. If there is to be any images and/or language of a song or sexual nature must be justified by the context, meaning that the service and time of broadcast must be considered, the other editorial content of the programme and the likely size and composition of the audience must also be considered to make sure that the content is appropriate for the show. 
The Big Movie Quiz has a target audience of 16 - 35, it isn't target at children and because it is broadcast after the watershed time of 9pm, which means we are able to keep with the tone of the show and include some elements that wouldn't be suitable if the show was targeted at a younger audience.

Writing a Script

-

*A screenplay only tells us what we can see and hear*  Important things to consider are  Title page - which should contain the name of the story, the writers name, draft date and contact details which are important if you are handing out your script to people. Scene headings - the scene heading should state whether it is to take place inside or outside using INT. or EXT. It should also contain the location, e.g. BEDROOM, HOUSE and time of day - DAY/NIGHT Action -  The action under the scene heading should contain enough detail so that the reader can picture the location or action but concise enough that it is just a long paragraph of description, it should also be written in the present tense.  Characters - when introducing a new character, their name should be written in capital letters so that the reader knows they are a new characters. If the character is not in the scene but can be heart or are a voice over, then (V/O) or (O/S) should be used.  Dialog

I chose to be the director of photography (DOP) because I feel the over the course of the last two years my camera and lighting skills have increased greatly and I wanted to focus of those skills more in my final year. To fully immerse myself into being a DOP, it is important that I researched deeply into the role and what it would include. Being a Director of photography "includes creating the visual identity, or look of the film/ tv programme, they work with the Director, camera crew and lighting department to achieve this and they manage all aspects of filming, from ordering and overseeing equipment to reviewing footage." (Creative Skillset, 2017) My main tasks will include creating the overall look of Young & Famous and putting into play the vision of the director. I will be focussing the camera and lighting aspects of the role and make the technical decisions as well as some creative ones. Framing: for this, I will work closely with the dir

Scott and Bailey - TV Drama

Scott and Bailey is a British crime drama focusing on the lives of two female detectives. DC Rachel Bailey and DC Janet Scott are not only work colleagues but close friends, a main part of the story is their relationship and the problems they have.  In each episode, there are 3 to 4 different story lines, the main one being based in the police station, centred on a crime and the others about the personal lives of the main characters. For my script, I would like to do something similar, I want to have the main story line revolve around a major case they have given, and then the personal lives of my two main characters, Shane and Annie.  The characters have many flaws that are pointed out in multiple episodes. For my character Shane, I want his flaws to be quite relatable. Through his dialogue and mannerisms, I want to reveal to the audience that he is wary of new people and finds it hard to trust them and that he is also emotionally immature and afraid of commitment b
