Draft proposal
Brief
You have been selected to plan, shoot, edit and submit a news broadcast for a
television network.
Aim
My aim is to plan and research an interesting and accurate factual broadcast for a
television network.
Description of intentions
I intend to produce a factual program presented as a news broadcast, featuring
headline news detailing a serious story that will inform the viewers of something that
could affect them. The program will follow the conventions of a typical news
broadcast featuring a studio and actuality footage.
The studio footage will feature a single presenter sat at a desk in formal wear who
will introduce the story. This will be filmed in front of a green screen in room 19 and a
newsroom backdrop will be generated using footage of a news studio.
The external segment will be shot at Eastcote high street and will feature a single
reporter. This reporter will conduct several interviews with passers-by. Actuality
footage will be of the high-street with people walking and a few back alleys around
the area. A voice over for this segment will be created using recording equipment
from room 19.
In the editing phase a news ticker will be produced using Adobe Premiere Pro,
including the time and key headlines. Also I will be using adobe after effects to create
an effective opening for the news broadcast.
Target audience
My target audience will focus around the age range of 18+ because I believe this
news broadcast will inform anyone of the rising knife crime and then help comfort
them with knowledge that the government is working to reduce the heightened
statistics of the crimes.

2. Primary sources of information
http://www.surveymonkey.com
We will produce a survey on this website to obtain information on what people think
of the stabbing and whether they feel safe in pubs or not.
Questionnaire
We will hand out a questionnaire to a sample of students and adults to determine
what their opinions are and whether they think knife crime is on the rise or not.
Secondary sources of information
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-34500696
This source of information on the murder was perhaps the most reliable, being held
on the UK’s most popular news website, BBC News.
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-man-over-murder-of-clubber-at-
eastcote-wine-bar-a3089981.html
This source was helpful as it gave me objective data and told me who the police were
questioning, giving my research more depth.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33547806
This site was helpful because it gave me insight on the current situation of knife
crime, for example I have found out that knife crime, after 4 years, has suddenly
started to rise again which is starting to make the Metropolitan Police question what
has happened.
