The Final Idea!

After reviewing and looking over the three ideas we were considering. We have decided that our story will be about illegally downloading music and the affect this may have on the music industry. 

This story stood out from the other two because we felt we can do a lot more with it in terms of the conventions of a news package.

The reason we choose this topic is because we had a decision about what we would do in order to follow the conventions and we were able to come up with good ideas for each common feature of a news package.

Here is what we came up with:

WHAT WE WANT TO INCLUDE?

The statement: 

 We can focus on the statement:                               

 The music industry vs. The internet. This will create a good discussion      
throughout the news package.  

    Voice over’s: 

This will be over filler shots or a montage, which will inform the audience more about the topic.

Vox pops:   

The voice of the people stating what they think about the topic. E.g. why they think people download. Most likely be teenagers (the voice of the target audience) stating what they think about the topic.

Interviews:

We could interview teenagers who are downloading and think it is okay and those who think it is not right. In addition to music industry experts such as a record label manger and artists. These interviews can be discussing both sides of the topic.

Location:                                             

Our location could be outside a studio which is related to the music industry.

Statistics and facts on screen:            

Such as the no. of illegal downloads against the number of album sells. We could include statistics on artists today that have had situations where their music is being continuously illegally downloaded. We can have statistics on up and coming artists and how they have not been able to make it further because of illegal downloads. These statistics can be coming up on a musical object e.g. a CD.

Filler shots:                                                                                                                        This could be of footage from concerts or music videos. We could also have filler shots of music being downloaded from Google showing how it is to access.
