Poster part 3

For the final step of creating my poster I added the BBC logo this tells people who is distributing the product but it can also make people want to watch it as it is distributed by a well rebound and respected company in the BBC.

Poster part 2

I have now added the large title on top of my poster, this is the title of the program, this lets people know what the program will be about (if you didn't figure it out with the SBR statue) "Talking Toon" will be familiar words with many people as one of the nicknames of Newcastle United is "The Toon" so people will then draw people into knowing the subject.

Poster part 1

This is the first part of my poster, I have decided to follow most of the style models which I have seen for the posters (which are vary unusual to actually have) but ones which do have a poster to promote the tv programs upcoming are usually based on one large image and then just the title of the program- in my case this is a documentary. I have used an image I have taken at St James Park (Newcastle United football stadium) this is because my documentary is based on the club. The main image is of the statue of Sir Bobby Robson who is a local hero who managed the club. I used this image so people know who he is and also ties people back into the theme which is Newcastle United.

Who'd distribute it?

I think that a local news channel (BBC/ITV- N.E) or even the official club (NUFCTV) would distribute my product, this is because it is based in a niche audience. This meaning that my product will only interest a small section of the documentary audiences, this being because it is based on Football and in particular Newcastle United, this is what makes it a niche audience. With this being a short film with no biased views it, another point would be that although it would not create a profit, it would increase audience figures, this because if on a local news you would get the additional consumers tuning into the show for the feature piece (My Product). I would not be reinforcing a similar product during this either so it would not be competing with anything similar but perhaps it could be competing with other things on the TV at the same time, although this would not matter as it is aimed at a niche audience.

Basic Narrative Theory & Comparing.

The narrative theory which I will firstly touch on is Shrek (The original) and I will later compare it against my own documentary which is about Newcastle United Football Club.

SHREK:

Firstly in Shrek it follows a structure about characters. The characters are as follows; Shrek who is the hero, Fiona who is the princess, Donkey who is the doner/helper, Lord Farquaad and the Fairy Godmother whom are the villans and Puss in Boots who is also classed as the doner.

It also follows Todorov's structure which is followed as:

1) Chilling in the swamp
2) The villans try and take Shrek's swamp
3) Shrek strikes a deal to keep his swamp in return for a quest
4) Shrek then embarks on a journey on the quest which then turns into winning Fiona's heart
5) The final step is when he is back in his swamp all happy.

This follows the three step structure which is; Equilibrium-Disequilibrium-New Equilibrium.  

NUFC DOC

Our documentary structure doesn't really follow a conventionally structure of known sorts but we have devised our piece to create an argument against the ownership but also to show the passion and better sides of the club. This is known as being subjective with a mix of facts and opinion.

In our piece we had three interviews we had Steve Wraith (Editor of Toon Talk), Joe Allon (Former Newcastle player) and Neil Cameron (Local journalist)

Documentary Update

Today me and my partner travelled over to the stadiums grounds to take images for our Poster advertisment which goes with the documentary. We took several images of varied quality and after accesing these we have decided to shoot again and our image focus will be the Sir Bobby Robson statue.
