Task 2: Production plan - LO5

Task 1: Summarising feedback/Evidence - LO5

The objective of this assignment was to create a news script for The Games Corner that would last 5 minutes. Each group was given a specific week to write about. The groups had to find relevant news for this week. Our week was week 4.

The target audience of The Games Corner are people who live in Sheffield and are interested in gaming. These people are ABC1s but could also be C2DEs as they will have some disposable income that will allow them to purchase a console and video games. These people are of both genders and are around the ages of 16 - 25.

The script we created is appealing to the target audience as we followed the style and conventions of a news broadcast script.

The feedback we were given was positive and we were told it was suitable for the show and was to a professional standard.

The only improvement we had to make was replacing one topic with a topic that relates to Sheffield, as SLTV is based around showcasing the community.

It was suggested that we added a section about a local developer who is based in Sheffield. This was done as we replaced a game release topic with news regarding Sumo Digital and their latest games.

The script also met the legal/ethical requirements/copyright/bias.
