- age group will be for teenagers-adults, because its more appealing to that age, the use of the language, music ans content
- The visitors mostly have to live in the area so they would no whats around where they live but also for visitors so they no wheres a good place to have fun and be entertained.
- The audience interests are fun days out and where to go.
- At the moment people hardly have money because of credit crunch so they would want a responsible price, nothing to expensive.
- I think they dont want to travel for long, something like a bus ride away.
- Most speak and understand nglish fluently but some might not so i might put something for others.

1.4 audience
1.4 Distribution of Guide
The advantages of making a film guide instead of doing other formats such as radio is that it appeals to audio and visual so someone disabled cant hear or can not see no one one can miss out, but on radio its only for audio so it will be a disadvantage to death people.
I would put the film guide on a advert if i had the budget because most people do watch T.V and it will be very effective, but as i don't have the money to do that i would but the film guide on the boroughs website so all local people can view it.

1.4-Plan for our guide
| Format | Film |
| Audience | The audience for our guide is going to be for teenagers that have nothing to do and is board, and also young adults that likes to go out in their local area.
|
| Contribution | I will contribute by researching on all the pictures and saving them, also I will take responsibility in searching on local creative and media industries that public are allowed to explore, I will make the scene script with the research that I will find and then me and my group will do a voice recorder telling the audience about the different creative and media industries. Finally I will put the pictures up that I have researched connecting to the information on guiding the audience on the local area, I shall put them on a video, choose a song to go in the background, and put a voice over that our group did to create the video on Creative and Media local scene.
|
| Structure | I will pick the venues randomly in the local area, as there are quite a few creative and media industries that people could be interested in if they knew about it. I will pick them randomly as I will choose the ones I like from experience also the groups.
|
| Distribution | My distribution for my guide that I am going to create is I am going to put it on you tube, and also I will put it on my blog so lots of people will notice and watch it so they will be tempted to visit what is in there local area. |

1.4 Who is the audience
Who is the audience?
For my scene guide the main audience is for young people that like to go out in there local area, as teenagers like to go out a lot the scene guide will be perfect for them as it shows them opportunities to go place that they didn't know much information about.
The scene guide is also for adults as well as teens because they would be more interested in going theaters like theater Royal and to know there local area.

1.3- Review of Nirag's Videos
Nirag's music videos are very touching and inspiring, as most of the music videos he produced are to do with him or someones he loves have been through.
All his videos are well thought of as he puts allot of work into them, i think he is very talented but i fell he repeats what he has worked with, it distracts the audience making them board of watching the same thing, he need to think of new ideas which i think will get him far.
Overall the videos i have watch are fantastic and well produced and directed.

1.3.1b Other reviews
1.3.1b Other reviews
Student Book
pp 34–43
The following statements are taken from other learners’ reviews. Read them and answer the questions in the spaces provided.
1 ‘The film was too long and it was boring.’
n What should the reviewer go on to write?
Some scenes are just too long and unimportant which makes the scenes wears off, so the movie becomes really boring.
2 ‘I don’t know what I thought of this book but my friend thought it was really interesting.’
n Why is this not a good thing to say in a review?
The quote is not a good thing to say in a review because you have to state your opinion not your friends, because you don’t know why the book is not interesting.
3. ‘For a children’s play there was not a lot of action. The bit with the lion was good but it got boring from then on.’
n Why might this not be helpful to an audience?
This is not helpful to the audience because as quoted 'The bit with the lion was good but it got boring...' the audience have no idea who the lion is so the reviewer has to explain and also in detail.
4. How could the reviewer make it more useful?
The reviewer could make it more useful if they explained the plot and who the lion is. By just putting ‘the bit with the lion was good but it got boring...’ is very boring and is not useful to audience at all.
1.3.1a Developing Opinions
1.3.1a Developing opinions
- Extension activity
· From one of the sources you have been looking at, find a review of something that you yourself have experienced: a film, television programme, game, book etc.
· Read the review carefully and analyse it as above, identifying how the reviewer felt about the subject of the review.
· Do you agree with the reviewer’s opinion?
· If so, why? If not, why not? What do you think? Record your thoughts below.
I went to the cinema to watch Step Up 3D, i found a review on the newspaper Telegraph, i certainly agree with the reviewer as in the telegraph is states ' it could be the dumbest thing all year that I have to admit enjoying. ', i agree with this quote as i really did enjoy the film as it was interesting, fun to watch and amazing which the 3D effects had a really good effect to it, some bits were a bit boning i must say but what movies doesn’t? I would defiantly watch it again and recommend it.
'It’s all about the moves, and I count the film’s moronic perkiness as a plus' i also agree with this quote, some people may not like the film because it is more practical, but it is a dance film and the moves is what it is all about.

1.2 Review for eastenders
Review for EastEnders
Must say it was pretty over exaggerated as Queen Vic’s most annoying Mitchell came on the scene, no surprise she was complaining over something petty.
However Roxy, played by the stunning Rita Simons is not one of the annoying Mitchells and gave a great performance by telling the squares richest man where to go as he offers to help with the unwanted baby.
Meanwhile back to drama queen, Peggy has a row with Ronnie, again no surprise over something stupid. Ronnie storms out disappointed that Peggy would pick a stupid election over her, so she pulls her hair back to start another argument with Jack.
In my opinion this scene was much too over done and over exaggerated and so I would rate it 3/10.
