Storyboard for my audio visual :

Soundtrack then fades out, image fades out but title remains.

Middle section: (main sequence)


Numerous shots:

Black screen
Diegetic sound of 'What is a turning point in your life?' 
Then multiple medium close-ups of the individuals answering the question with a small statement (diegetic sound).

Numerous shots:
Close up, or medium close shot
Diegetic sound of other questions. 
Natural lighting, in Jimmy's common room.

These types of shots will be repeated with the different questions I will ask the guests, however I will focus more on certain guests therefore will have more shots of them included. I will use continuity editing when one guest is discussing the question.


(Potentially:)
City centre, Sidney Street, Hobson's Passage. (Places homeless people sleep in Cambridge)
Long shots, medium long-shots, panning shots.
Cross cut editing, to match images of the streets to topics the residents discuss. 

Concluding sequence:

Fade.

Montage editing of the characters laughing, in slow motion.
This section will demonstrate a sense of finality; but also create anticipation for the rest of the show.

Own ideas for my magazine :

Front Page : Medium close-up shot of a celebrity (actor) to engage the audience, and by having an influential person/celebrity on the front cover it will create an interest to my millennial audience. This celebrity will be shown to be playing a homeless man in his next movie, (which will be a realist film by Ken Loach). Use of a clear, large font with a contrasting colour from the background of the magazine will engage the audience as the image will be eye-catching.  Most of the writing will be in block capitals, to be eye-catching, and information about what is inside the magazine will not be. Use of persuasive language such as rhetorical questions will invite the audience to read the magazine. The background of the image will either cover the whole page, or the character/ celebrity I choose to use will be placed on a white background to create an eye catching image. I will use someone in their 20s, to target my audience of millennials aged 18-35years old. Yellow...

Pitch Brainstorm for both magazine and audio-visual :

Title:  (working title) Living on the Streets, Life on the Streets, More Than Homeless, Behind the label: Homelessness. Chosen Title:  More Than Homeless Title:  (for magazine) REVEAL  (working title) INSIGHT  Logline: (working logline) A gripping documentary  that uncovers the brutal reality of some  individuals living rough in one of the most famous cities in the world. This show challenges conventional attitudes towards homelessness, by exploring personal journeys of many vulnerable people living on the streets.  Genre: Docudrama (Expository Documentary), and there is a sense of genre hybridity as the character's stories I will explore have elements of romance, and action. This further engages my younger audience, as it keeps the narrative interesting and diverse. I will explore the element of drama using the diegetic sound of the residents I interview, instead of visually showing their stories. I will use a dramatic soun...

Institutions of ITV and Channel 5 :

In order to gain some understanding of the institution  behind ITV I have researched using this website:  http://www.itv.com/commissioning/factual Jo Clinton-Davis, the controller of factual entertainment and Commissioning Editors such as Priya Singh and Satmohan Panesar explain that some of the appeal of factual shows is often created by a famous name or a well-known location being explored. My intentions for my show was to obtain a sense of realism, and intend to focus on the working-class and gain individual stories that aren't well-known; therefore my intentions contrast to the requirements needed for some factual shows on ITV. The Commissions team explains that the factual shows are most suited for the 8pm and 9pm time slot, this is similar to the time slot of Channel 5. Despite this time slot allowing me to target my chosen audience, the current shows on ITV are less authentic and cover more mainstream topics that I am aiming to cover.  ...
