Unit 3.1 Research techniques
Hello Fellow blog readers.
Within this blog I will be
discussing the advantages and the disadvantages of a range of research
techniques. I will be writing about the different types of research qualitative
research and quantitative research. Furthermore I will investigate the methods
and sources of research, which are primary research, and secondary research.
The purpose and nature of research that I am going to look into are audience
research, marketing research and production research.
The different types of
research are qualitative research and quantitative research. Qualitative
research is a text based source of information that is used to explore,
describe, and explain and to predict. McQueen and Knussen (2002). “Qualitative
research approaches explore and describe, explain and predict”. P28. Examples
for this type of research would be books, journals and reviews. The advantages
for using this type of research technique are that the source of information
that is used is more reliable as the content that has been collected is from a
book. This could mean that the writer of this book would be a professional in
the media industry and has found this information him/herself as they might
have degree in this field of media. The disadvantage for using qualitative
research would be if you were using journals in your research. The content that
was written in the journals would be non-reliable as this source of information
is not professional and has been found by someone else who might have not
researched the topic correctly or has made a few mistakes in their work.
Quantitative research is a
numerical based source of information, which is used to measure, to find
statistics, collects data from a group of people. This is done by using
survey’s to ask a broad range of questions to a specific audience. When data is
collected and measured, the statistics would be formed into pie charts, bar
charts, and tables or into columns. This source of information is an advantage
because if you were finding out what programme is the most popular programme on
BBC One, you would research the viewing figures on the BARB website to find out
that during the week in early September 2013 New tricks with 7.83 million
viewers was the most popular show at that time. The disadvantage of using
Quantitative research would be that the source of information that you have
collected might be false data, as the answers that you were given might not
make sense or are not true. The data could also be incorrect if you have
misused the statistics when creating a table of the results that was collected.
The different methods and
sources of information, which is used within qualitative and quantitative
research, are primary research and secondary research. The difference between
primary and secondary research is that Primary research is research that you
have produced yourself. Examples for this would be interviews, questionnaires
and notebooks. May.T (2002). “The interviewer is freer to probe beyond
the in a manner which would be appear prejudicial to the aims of
standardization and comparability. Information about age, sex, occupation, type
of household and so on, can be asked in a standardized format.”P123. An
advantage for using interviews, as your primary research is that you are able
to use structured, semi structured and grouped interviews. A semi structured
interview is beneficial as a research source because you are able to allow the
interviewee to talk about the topic in depth, this way you are able to collect
more information and will begin to have more of an understanding on the matter
or an argument. A disadvantage of using primary research would be that if you
are using your notes from the past, you might not be able to understand the
writing that could cause false information when you are interviewing someone
which could cause confusion and misunderstanding.
Secondary research is a
research source that is produced from a source of information that already
exists, such as gathering information from the Internet, books for example
novels and magazines. The advantages for using secondary research would be that
it is very easy to get hold of this information if you have access to the
Internet or a library. It is also a low cost form of research as you are able
to gather this information from any library, which makes it much easier for the
researchers to form a large and broad amount of data. The disadvantages for
using secondary research would be that this form of research could be biased
and would become unreliable as the information might have only one side of this
topic and might not support every end.
The purpose and nature that
are found within these methods and sources are audience research, marketing
research and production research. Audience research in the media industry is
divided into categories, which is known as the Anthony Giddens theory. These
different categories are known as social capital, cultural capital, financial
capital and education capital. This is to find out how much equity a person
might have. Anthony Giddens (2009). “Sociology is the scientific
study of human life, social groups, whole societies and the human world as
seen. P6. Social class is split into class A- upper middle class, B- middle
class, C1- lower middle class, C2- skilled working class, D- working class and
E- non working. Audience research is used to find out what people are mostly
interested into so that the audience of your product is satisfied so that your
figures for example for a radio station would rise instead of decreasing.
Market research is used to
find out what people want to see/ listen to. This is to find out their
interests and to see what they do not approve with. Market research links in
with audience research as market researchers will have to divide each category
by age, sex, social interest and social class. An example of market research
would be RAJAR, as market researcher for radio stations would be able to use
RAJAR surveys to find out what the most popular radio show is at the time, and
to see what age group this particular radio show reaches out to so they can
find out what kind of music that their audience is into to see what they are
interested in, or if they shou ld be showing hard news or soft news for this
type of audience. This is so that their product is able to achieve higher
rating figures than their competition.
When using production
research you will be looking into the financial, copyright, locations, time
line and the facility issues. These issues are a large part in researching as
if these are not look into when creating a product such as the Geordie Shore television
programme. If you use a song within your product you will need to make sure
that it is referenced as you could be done for copyright and forgery. The
most important research when creating a product is to make sure you have enough
money for the funding of your facilities or even your location as you might
have a certain location that has a required length of time for example £1000 an
hour. If all your actors are not available for this required length this could
cause your product to break through which could cause you and your sponsors to
become in a large amount of debt and could become a waste of time.

Unit 3.2 Children presenters
Hey fellow internet users.
Within this post I am going to be talking about the different kind of presenter that we as an audience over the years and how they have changed and the kind of styles they have presented themselves.
CBBC-
The first ever television presenter that the CBBC had was Phillip Schofield, he was a presenter for CBBC from 1985- 19-87. Phillip Schofield worked along with the first of many puppet sidekicks for the CBBC Gordon the Gopher who was played by Paul Smith.

Since Phillip Schofield was a presenter on the CBBC there has been 60 television presenters including puppet sidekicks.
Chris Johnson and Hacker T. Dog have been a children television presenters since 2010.
Early this year CBBC have introduced a new young presenter Katie Thistleton who also work aside with Hacker and Chris Johnson.
The most famous duo for the CBBC in the early 2000's was Dick and Dom. They presented Dick and Dom in the bungalow for 5 years between 2002-06. This was a live programme that was broadcasted on the weekend. It was watched all of the British nation and also included many of their audience in their show. Dick and Dom are still presenting many children television programmes such as Are you smarter than a 10 year old?, Bananas in pyjamas, Dick and Dom's hoopla, Splatalot and Chute.
Unit 3.2 Factual PodCasts
Hey fellow internet users.
Within my post I am going to talk about the different formats for radio factual podcasts that I am thinking about using within my factual piece and how I could ask my questions, I will be looking into the statistics of similar radio shows. I will hand out several questionnaire about my subject to see what teenagers and adults thought of their presenter when they were younger and weather they think that they presenter that children television shows are as good as what they remembered from their past. I will be doing face to face interviews with people on the street and students from my college, Hyde Clarendon. When I make my own factual radio podcast it will be 5-10 minutes long. The idea that I have thought about is 'Children presenters in the media industry nowhere days'. The factual piece will be about what children think of the presenter of the television programmes that they watch and whether they create a better atmosphere when watching television for a child. For my factual piece I am going to track down a presenter that is shown and watched by many on a television channel. I am going to do this by using the internet to find out how to contact this mystery presenter.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/did
My first idea for my radio factual format I have chosen Desert island disc. A desert island disc podcast are usually around 35 minutes long. This type of podcast is updated weekly and is presented by Kirsty Young. The interviewee is asked about eight different records, a book and a luxury that they would take with them if they was to go to the mythical desert island. This podcast will start of with an introduction by Kirsty Young with a sound bed following after her with the sound of birds and a violin. Kirsty Young will introduce her interviewee by telling the audience their name and what their occupation is and gives you a sneak peak about their past and what they have been involved in. The target audience for this type of podcast would be ages 35-70. This format would be listened by both men and woman who are interested in intellectual side of celebrates and their stories.
http://www.theguardian.com/arts/series/culture
The guardian is another podcast format that I have chosen. The podcast that I have looked at is the Spacepod by Lauren Laverne. This format of podcast is usually recorded live at an important event for example for the first Spacepod episode, it was recorded at the Edinburgh festival. Within this this type of podcast the will have a main presenter Lauren Laverne whilst having Jon Holmes interviewing people from within the crowds of the festival. The Spacepod is usually 24 minutes long and is introduced with Lauren Laverne introducing her self whilst explaining what the audience will be listening to on this podcast. The pod cast also starts with a sound bed of the keyboard playing over Lauren Laverne. The target audience for this type of podcast would be ages between 25-55. Both men and woman would be interested in this podcast that has the interests of culture and the different arts within the world and how we see things.
Unit 3.2 Moral panic of a children presenter
Hey fellow internet users.
In this post I am going to be talking about how one certain children presenter became a moral panic.
Jim'ill fix it was a popular television programme back in 1975, it was presented by Jimmy Savile till 1994. This television show was about encouraging children to write in their wishes so that Jimmy Savile and Roger Ordish who was introduced as Doctor magic to grant each and one of their wishes.
Jimmy savile died in 2011 at age 84 as a well respected television presenter by many until a year after his death. In 2012 the charity fund raiser, the charismatic television presenter was alleged of child sex abuse and rape which made him one of Britain's most preditor sex offender as ITV shows a documentary of the sexual abuse claims towards Jimmy Savile. By the time January 2013 came there were 450 victims that have brought forward their complaints of sexual abuse against Jimmy Savile from the ages of 8-47 of both girls and boys.
The Jimmy Savile scandle became a big part of moral panic around Great Britain. The message that was being sent around the United Kingdom that the well known loveable television presenter from everyone's memorial pasts is not as truthful as we all thought and that he had many dark secrets. The person who we allowed as a nation to be able to work with our children has now been accused as a pedophile. This shows that we should not trust anyone with our children as you don't know who they are really. This caused panic and worry towards many parent of these children as they put their children in the hand of a pedophile.

Unit 3.2 Permanent present- Radio 5 Live
Hey fellow internet users.
Within in this post I am going to be talking about the permanent present. Permanent present is about the current evens that are happening in the daily lives of the worlds population.
An example for Permanent present would be British gas's prices of have gone up 10.4% by this December 2013 since last year, this has caused a moral panic across the United Kingdom as many customers are angry and up set of the expense that they will have to go throw to keep warm this winter. You will hear many other arguments like this on Radio 5 Live. Radio 5 Live talk about the top heading news that you will find on the front of the Evening news or The Times. They include many interviews of worried customers that are effected from these issues. The theme of this radio show is hard hitting news for the community such as property prices which shows an interview with a worried woman that lives in London which is wanting to be able to buy a house to is too expensive and is having to live in an apartment. An inter view with a young man from Surrey is talking about having to save up to be able to get a mortgage. He talks about his wages not being high enough and is having to consider thinking about moving somewhere else in the country to be able to buy a house.

Unit 3.2 Hegemony
Hey fellow internet users.
In my post I am going to be talking about 'hegemony'. The definition of Hegemony is a political form of leadership and ideological domination that creates power of society. "Hegemony is the political leadership and idenlogical domination of society"P361. Hegemony is a false conscience for example for a teenager, such as programmes which are Towie, Gordie shore or the XFactor they create a certain image that teenagers will start to follow without realising that they are copping these stars that they are watching on television. Simon Cowell has a large part in this as he creates an image on the XFactor which many people will find appealing and will start going into shops like Topshop and H&M which have especially factored for this type of style. this type of life style is being sold to us so that the people at the top are making money.

Unit 3.2 Counter culture
Hey fellow internet users.
Counter culture is a definition for someone that is involved in a creative response for a peer group, someone that does not follow rules and the norms that are pushed into them by their parents. "Ultimately the 'lads' are socialised effectively, but socialisation involves the creative response of a peer group rather than the passive acceptance of rules and norm imposed of them by adults" P688. An example for counter culture would be 'mods', 'indie', 'chavs', 'punks' and many more socials groups. These different social groups will have a different form of style such as mods are known for their certain type of style of clothing an example would be a tailor made suit. They are also known for driving motor cycles which were usually a Lambretta or a Vespa. The type of music that mods would listen to would have been smooth jazz, soul and blues. As someone who is stereotyped as an Indie, the typical indie would usually listen to alternative rock, they are known for their low budget clothing. Counter culture can also cause a moral panic as issues may be caused within these different social groups that others might not agree on.

Unit 3.2 Moral Panic
Hey fellow internet users.
Within this post I am going to talk about moral panic in the media industry. The meaning of moral panic is a disagreement with issues of a certain event that could effect and alarm the social population. An example of moral panic would be Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus is a large part of moral panic in the media at the moment as she is creating music videos where she is only half dressed. As a parent you would start to worry about what your child is watching as your child might start to mimic Miley Cyrus with her dress sense and her actions. This is a coming of age act for Miley Cyrus. As she grows up, her audience grows up with her.

Hello fellow internet users.
This is a snap shot of a of a comment that I have received from Joe Dootson on Facebook of the podcast that I have posted from Youtube.
This comment shows that when editing the podcast I will need to take further actions on making sure that the sound used is much more clear for people in the future that will want to listen.

Unit 3.2 Review sheet
Hello fellow internet users.
When evaluating the podcast I created a review sheet asking questions such as how would you rate the podcast out of 1-10, 1 being excellent and 10 being very bad. I also asked a round of media students what they would say about the format that is used, what would they say about the quality of the questions and the quality of the answers that were received. At the end of my review I also ask how would they improve the podcast if it was to be created again.

Hello fellow internet users.
When researching on the style of formats that will be used in To be a presenter I listened to several podcast from desert island disc. The reason why I am most intrigued in this particular podcast of Desert island disc is because it links in with the genre idea that I have for my production. In this podcast Kirsty Young has interviewed the TV presenters Ant and Dec.
The techniques that Kirsty Young has used in this podcast with Ant and Dec is that her interview is semi structured so that she is able to get Ant and Decs full response on her questions about the past and why they have chosen the song that they have chosen. The desert island disc plays each song roughly around a minute long with Kirtsy telling the audience who was playing.
