LO5: Legal & Ethical - Copyright, Bias, Censorship, Libel
Does it meet legal/ ethical requirements? (copyright/bias/censorship/ libel).
Legal, WatershedAll content is fact and does not present content that would offend people. The content is not supportive nor does it discriminate against people of different ethnic groups. Though none of the games shown are rated 18, blood may feature in footage from games such as 'Bloodborne'. which is a 16 Therefore we would select and edit footage that would not include inappropriate content but is still relevant. Content would not be covered by the watershed since it airs mid-day, but as previously mentioned we have made sure the content is suitable for airing.
Content mentioned is news and is not owned by any specific person. It does not violate any copyright restrictions. It is also not bias. It does not speak positively of negatively within the news script having the purpose to inform. Any footage shown within the script would be used for purposes of reviewing and discussion meaning this would not violate any copyright restrictions.
Bias
Our script is not bias. The scripts purpose is to inform and is not affiliated or supportive of any game, developer or anybody else who we could have a bias opinion against. It presents facts that have been taken from reliable sources.
Copyright
Our script does not break any copyright restrictions. This is because all visuals that are used are video game footage and audio that is used for the purposes of review and discussion; therefore it does not break any copyright restrictions. However we still would need to reference the material used and the game it is from, who it is supplied by etc and get permission for showing video game footage, audio and other content. Especially in some cases for games that have no footage released yet or are hard to get hold of.
This applies to the GFX and SFX that we use. If we use video game footage or audio during it we need to reference and gain permission for its usage from both the developers and publishers of the game the material comes from as that footage would also be copyrighted.
All lines used do not break copyright restrictions since it is news and nobody owns right towards this information. Though it is important to gain permission from developers and publishers for content that is not covered by this law since they can sue/fine us for the use of the content and this fine can often be thousands of pounds based on the severity.

Censorship
We have not censored any footage or lines as the scripts content is used for the purposes of review and discussion therefore we do not break any restrictions held. There is no use of strong language or other content that needs to be censored through a beep for example.
Libel
All content shown is pure fact and does not bend the truth. The scripts purpose is to inform and content are all news items taken from reliable sources with supportive evidence/credited work. Therefore all content presented in our script is the truth. All information such as releases dates have confirmed dates from suppliers/retailers for example and multiple other sources. All information was checked against multiple sources to filter out any false information. It is important to reference your sources because often you can be blamed for false representation and stealing of others work, so it is important to reference so that you are not blamed or potentially sued for stealing others work.

LO5: Task 1: Script Reflection Of Feedback
Recap of Assignment
For this assignment we were asked to produce a script that lasted roughly 5 minutes for The Games Corner. Presenting news from the week we were assigned (23/3-27/3) into the style of a TV news broadcast.
Recap Target Audience
The target audience of our script are those interested in gaming news. Since this is for Sheffield live our target audience also covers ethnic minorities since Sheffield Live is a community radio station that supports this. Which means they are likely to be in the demographic of C2DE and have less disposalable income for thier lifestyle. It also may mean that the viewer owns one console (or handheld) so only a certain amount of news towards that console is relevant in the news; which is something to consider when researching.
However since gaming is a mainstream hobby our target audience has a wider range covering many demographics. Though a dedicated gaming news channel will be more likely followed by those who are dedicated to their hobby. This means that our script also needs to appeal to a mainstream audience and follow the style and conventions of those types of broadcast. Fitting into a demographic of ABC1 and will have a higher disposable income for thier lifestyle; they will probably own multiple console and have a above average income that allows them to dedicate their money to their hobby.
Our script covers our target audience by following the style and conventions of a news broadcast. We have followed this by having an introduction; which is a conventions of news broadcast.
We have also covered our target audience by presenting relevant gaming news of that week with depth and intrigue.
Another area that covers our target audience is a variety of gaming news which is also a style/convention of a TV news broadcast.
Have needs/ expectations been met for the client brief and target audience?
According to feedback our script met expectations. It was commented that overall it was well written and will the time slot suitably. It was also commented that the script works well and to a professional standard. Based on this I believe we have met that expectations and suitably fulfilled the brief and target audience.
Based on feedback there were no issues with incorrect content. It was not commented at any point that the content is incorrect. However it was commented that is lacks variety which is a feature that professional script writer for TV news broadcasts would include. Therefore this is a area we need to improve.

According to feedback our script met expectations. It was commented that overall it was well written and will the time slot suitably. It was also commented that the script works well and to a professional standard. Based on this I believe we have met that expectations and suitably fulfilled the brief and target audience.
Clients likes and dislikes.
Feedback said that they liked the "witty comment" written for the section covering 'The Witcher', which was supposedly well informed.
They also liked the duration and felt it was overall well written and fit for purpose. It was commented that it "works well and to a professional standard".
The client disliked the focus upon one specific host commenting "I have a lot to read...". It was then suggested that we "...swap over who talks...". Based on this we would equal distribute lines.
The client also disliked that it mainly focused on releases asking for more variety in content. It was suggested that we look at technology news, indie developers and new events.
Improvements
- Equally distribute content between the hosts
- More variety in content
- Missing abbreviations and directions
The feedback presents important points. For example a variety (events, game dev news, technology, less heavy news; less focused on releases) of content is a common attribute found in TV broadcasts. If this is lacking this means the script does not follow conventions and will not appeal as directly as a industry standard script would towards the target audience.
Missing abbreviations and directions are very important since if these are missing it does not specify how the script should be made are needed for the production crew to use. The same applies to scheduling if details such as that were missing production couldn't be carried out.

Relevant changes that need to made to the script.
Based on feedback it was suggested that the changes that need to made are issues with content distribution between the presenters and the content generally lacking in variety. Based on this we will equally distribute content and alter the content to be more varied.
Improvements
- Equally distribute content between the hosts.
I will carry this out by using a word count and swapping presenters names around as well as in places breaking up larger chunks of text to equally distribute the content. Which shall be prof-read at the end.
This is important because it means that the broadcast will not drag on and gives the presenters breaks that are necessary so they can prepare for the next line. Also changing the content keeps the audience interested by supplying lots of different content that appeals to them as the target audience.
- More variety in content
I will carry this out by researching content that differs from my current content. It was suggested that I look at events. So I shall cover this by looking into conventions specifying details like dates and location.
These are important and will take place within the UK so it is relevant to the target audience. This also helps viewers to pick and choose which bits of information to take in. Which for those who are new to gaming will apply more given that Sheffield Lives target audience; its remit are aimed towards those for an ethnic minority and may have recently purchased a console. So they would be unfamiliar and a variety of content would help the viewer to settle into the show. Content also since the broadcast happens at mid-day needs to be suitable for pre-watershed and filter out any inappropriate content such as ingameplay blood or swearing.
- Missing abbreviations and directions
I will carry this out by capitalising the abbreviations that were not before and using industry standard abbreviations that would be understood by a production crew for example "V.O".
This is important because it tells the production crew how to make the broadcast and directs them on camera angles shot types and even the set description and schedule time.

Is the content of the product correct?
Based on feedback there were no issues with incorrect content. It was not commented at any point that the content is incorrect. However it was commented that is lacks variety which is a feature that professional script writer for TV news broadcasts would include. Therefore this is a area we need to improve.
Also large segments of text would not feature in a professional TV News script so this would be another
improvement based on the style and content of the script.
Content such as the language used is correct. TV news broadcasts are formal and our script is written formally and with the purpose to inform. It does not contain any opinion only fact. Opinion maybe presented through quotes from game developers for example.
Our script follows a house style details such as the introduction and side notes are left justified. All speech is centre justified and camera angles, shot types and transitions are right justified. This is just like the scripts we analysed. The script is written entirely in courier which is an industry standard font. Our script follows the conventions of the script because of the layout. All speech is written in lower case and everything else is written in capital letters. The script follows the styles and conventions of a typical magazine show news script having various content (various news titles) talked about during the script.
Our script is to inform and is written formally presenting fact rather than opinion because of this our script is teacher to pupil.
In the above category I have listed all the improvements that need to be made. One of the most important ones been missing abbreviations and stage directions. This is need so that the script can be used to film and functions more like a shooting script.

LO4: Personal Response & Acting Upon Feedback
Based on the feedback we were given and issue came to light. The issue been that during the week we were assigned the news for that week was not varied.
However since it is paramount that I act upon this feedback we have instead taken more recent news to ahcieve the variety that was asked of us in the feedback.
Part of the feedback was that the lines between the presenters were uneven. See below.

I have acted upon this feedback by assiging eqaul amounts of lines between them. See below.
Another area of feedback was that the script lacked variety. It was suggested that we look at gaming events. I have acted upon this feedback by adding gaming events to the script. To also add variety I intergrated sales on consoles and a game dev anniversary to have more varied news that doesnt focus on game releases. See below.

LO1: Task 3: Style & Content (All Examples)
Screenplay Abbreviations
N.I – No video support is shown and is read by the anchor/host (30 seconds long).
SILENT - presenters voice is linked to the visuals and is the only sound played.
NATSOT – presenters voice is linked to visuals and visuals have natural sound.
SOT – sound that is on a tape. Natural sounds to where the recordings took place.
V.O – a voice over; presenter narrating visuals.
Film Script (12 Years A Slave)
Style & Content
The style of the script is formal. There are clear instructions marked with use of clear and concise language. The majority of text is written in courier and justified left except the name and title which are indicated in capital letters and bold; this is so that it the text stands out from the rest to create a clear justification between sections. Descriptions are also featured in capital letters such as appearances for example "In attendance are EIGHT COUPLES." However these are not in bold unlike titles.
Given the setting of the film itself the dialogue is also quite formal and conversations flow smoothly having a parent to child mode of address. Below the dialogue are sometimes movements written for example "The children, now smiling as well...". Though these are only indicated by a break in paragraph rather than capital letters or any other definitive method.
Narrative Structure
The narrative structure is single stranded and linear. Having multiple characters and interaction but takes place from one point of view been our main character Soloman which is all shown within a chronological order making it linear.

Genre
The genre of the film is fictional, though is an adaptation of a series of memoirs so will contain true events, themes and settings as well as realistic characters and story. This also makes the audience feel more empathy for the character.

Target Audience
The target audience is aimed for an older audience that are interested in events of the past or more specifically the slave trade, or possible have a deeper connection towards this setting.
The BBFC rated this film for 15+ years, this being a large audience this would be targeted towards most adults. This would also appeal to both genders, but since the main character is male this would probably be viewed mostly by a male audience. The audience would possibly take a keen interest in history and more specifically the 1800s and the slave trade. The audience would primarily fall under the demographic ABC1 been seen my mostly the upper and middle class that would have the spending power to view and take an interest within the film and the history of it.
Style & Content
Like the film script the style of this script is very formal as it is a broadcast, this means its purpose its to inform so is written in clear cohesive language based around fitting in facts and has a teacher to pupil mode of address. The layout differs from the film script been written to fit around the different roles of the people within the broadcast. For example
"Smith Fire officials say the blaze that ravaged the federal records storage
Studio - OC - Jacobs Facility in Selma Valley is now under control".
This is structured having the person or instructions based on the left and the text/lines on the right having a spacing between it to clearly show the separation. As always the font is written in Courier; standard script font and is the voice overs are written in capital letters and justified left. Details such as video files are written in italics. Also features like this "============" are shown to clearly justify each section.
The scripts also features abbreviations such as VO to show that this is a voice over, making it easier to understand and follow so that all members of the production crew know what they have to do. For example this would be a note for the editors.
Running Order
The script starts with a introduction by Smith. There is then a cut to studio and a voice over with a video file playing. This is followed by a server video and audio is presented by a voice over. Finally it cuts back to studio.
This is a strict order that the broadcast must follow so that all the crew know how to operate. The order is a logical format that follows an introduction the content shown and then back to the beginning to show a clear structure to the audience.
- Intro - Voice over
- Cut back to studio
- Voice over
- Video file played
- Server video + Audio
- Cut back to studio
Genre
The genre of the of this broadcast is non-fiction this is because this is news on real life events that are taking place around the world presenting facts to the public to inform them of current news, therefore all content must be non-fictional and unbiased.
Target Audience
The target audience is aimed for an older audience that are interested in current news and events though this can be viewed by anyone, since the broadcast can often feature content that may be unsuitable for a younger audience. This is because ages would be ages 12 + being a large audience this would be targeted mostly towards most adults.
This would also appeal to both genders, all ages and all type of people. Though would take a keen interest in the news and current events, the audience may take an interest in politics and aspire to have a job within that sector so takes an interest in current news. The audience would primarily fall under the demographic ABC1 but could also feature C2 and others depending on the audiences active interest within the news, though it is likelier this would be received by a ABC1.
This script is also written formally, all instructions are shown and written logically and as always is written in courier font and justified left, dialogue is 'Justified Centre'. Details such as the act, role and instructions are written in capital letters and come first on a new line. The script is written in parent to child mode of address been informative. For example: "When the Superintendent and Clarence are speaking in Heaven, their voices will have a reverb applied throughout. When Clarence is on Earth, he will be “dry.” Details like when a track is played are marked through these symbols []. For example: [MUS-03].
Narrative Structure
The narrative structure is multi-stranded and linear. Having multiple characters speaking within the broadcast at different points, this is all shown within a chronological order so that it is a clear and logical layout making it linear.
Genre
The genre of the of this script is fiction this is because this is radio drama written for the purpose of entertainment and features fictional elements such as angels and heaven. "Are you really sending me down to Earth?"
Target Audience
The target audience is aimed for at all ages this is because this is a fictional story that that presents morals that can be seen as an almost an educational story for younger audiences because of this the age would be from 7 - 40 years old being a large audience this would be targeted mostly towards the younger half.
This would also appeal to both genders, but mainly for 12 + as this would be easier to understand for this age group. Though would take a interest fictional stories and possibly in some eyes older stories. The audience could also be people who like the 1946 movie and wish to view this as an adaptation.
