Michael was no longer able to be interviewed so i was able to get my friend Liam who i have known from a few years of volunteering. Liam is a musician who creates music for various project and he was someone who i thought would be good to ask as i don`t know how many years he has done but i feel i could focus on the working side of it instead.

I will be covering this in my meeting blog as well but this post is here to inform what we are doing as a group to promote our 1 hour Package as social media is great way to promote it. in our meeting we talk about many ways to promote our magazine program i`m going to talk about some of them here:
Carlos suggested to create a Twitter page for the show and have our own twitter accounts to help promote it,we felt this was a very good idea as a group because Twitter seems to be best way to communicate to the target audience as we feel twitter feels more direct and shows more of the analytics of our target audience as well. therefore gives us a good idea how we can get our idea across to our target audience.
I suggested of making a behind the scenes of the whole production cycle of everyone doing their package, we felt this was a good idea because it’ll give people a chance to see how students can create a hour show like how they do it for a radio station. obviously it won`t be exactly how it is but it would give people a basic idea of how its done.
Joe who came up with the idea of doing a quiz based around our different ideas we all felt that this would be a fun way to promote the show. i feel this would be great way promote the show because i feel it makes it a lot less serious which is good due it fitting into our conversational and laid back approach.
the fourth idea was Martin`s idea and it was to video live stream the hour magazine, we all felt this was a good idea due to streaming being a big thing now these days and i feel it would be a better way to approach viewers directly.
Due to CO-VID 19 we all haven`t really set up our role and responsibilities for our magazine program but we have been able to do it through one of our meetings on facebook.
Presenter for Intro and Outros of the magazine programme: Carlos
Script Writer and Time Management : Kit
Time Keeper and Level Checker: Martin
Happy to do whatever: Joe
Happy to do whatever: Sophie
That`s what we have so far but hopefully they might be some other roles that will help make everyone in the team be involved.
As a group we decided on the theme on Scottish Entertainment for our one hour long package for the GU. (you can find this in the first meeting on the meetings blog post i was not there). each of us took different sectors of the entertainment industry to hopefully cover the the whole hour.
We then decided to focus on BBC Scotland as our Radio Station as again its Scottish Entertainment and would be great for Radio Scotland. I say this Station is perfect when it comes to presenting our package as i feel with Scotland we have a lot of variety of entertainment in Scotland therefore i think it would be interesting for people to hear. also i feel the presenting style is very causal and conversational when they cover entertainment on their shows. i feel this style is right for our group due to the topics we have chosen plus it will be more comfortable to the target audience as it will be easier for them to listen in and digest it. Plus a lot people around Scotland may learn a few new things if they did listen in due the industry being so huge.
Overall i believe BBC Scotland is the right choice due to there Conversational Presenting Style and Relate able Content.
Here`s a quick timeline of the development of the project. this is here to give a clear idea how my idea was developed.
17/2-24/2- Our Group decided to have Scottish Entertainment as our theme and we decided to branch out into sub groups. I chose to TV due to studying it before. i ended up doing research and came to terms with making three ideas:
Idea 1: Mental Health Effect on Freelancers
This idea would focus on People working in the Creative industries and how it has effect the mental health.
Idea 2: Freelancing: Success. or a Flop.
This Idea would focus on if Freelancing is the way to go in the industry.
Idea 3: Edinburgh Film Festival Job opportunities.
The idea would en tale the jobs of that the EFF are showing and how it will help people get more experiencing in the industry.
I will do some research to see which one interests me the most.
26/2/: I asked my lecturer for which idea i should should stick to and he suggested i should stick with the freelance idea as he thought it may be the most easiest to get interviews for, which i thought would be the best one to stick to as i feel like it was too similar to my 1st idea and some else in my class was doing the Edinburgh Film Festival as well.
26/2/-3/3: I started to research fully on my chosen idea which was going to be freelancing. i decided that the angle i would take would be if freelancing best way to live financially. during this time i have started to work on my pitch by creating a power point. and presented to my lecturer.
3/3-31/3 I Overhauled the blog to me sure it follows the brief along with doing some more research for the idea. during this time i was able to get three of my interviews confirmed.
31/3-3/3 i have wrote the questions out for interviews all i need to do is get them arranged once they are done i will start the editing process.
