I am producing a news broadcast in the same format as current news programs.

I will use the same codes and conventions as current news programs like bbc news. I am going to create a special report on a certain subject in the news. I have chosen to do the tennis grand slam the us open. In this special report I will discuss the matches and look at the top contenders to win the grand slam tournament. The target audience would be for all sports fans but specifically tennis fans. Tennis over the past decade has become very popular which has attracted more people to watch it. Also the fact that there is a British player competing in grand slams and going deep into the tournament gives us the belief finally a British player may win a grand slam. Also the fact that this is a golden era in tennis attracts more people to watch the rivalries of the top 4 players in the world, and most pundits and tennis fans would agree in this era we have the greatest player of all time roger federer, there is also Rafael nadal who could over take roger federer to become the greatest player of all time. Also we Novak djokovic who is breaking into the top 2 in the world and challenging nadal and federer, and lastly we have Andy Murray who is the best British player since Fred Perry which gives the British public hope we can have a grand slam champion.

I will creating a special report on the upcoming tennis grand slam the us open. I will discuss the contenders to win the tournament, the outsiders, have a brief analysis of the matches of the top 4 players to give tennis fans an insight on what's happening in the us open.

Ofcom is required to under the Broadcasting Act 1996 ("the 1996 Act") to draw up a code for television and radio, covering standards in programmes, sponsorship, product placement in television programmes, fairness and privacy. This Code is to be known as the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. When making a factual program the maker of one has to be aware of this code or they will be punished for not abiding to this code. one part of the Ofcom broadcasting act is protecting child under the age of eighteen, the main points are Material that might seriously impair the physical, mental or moral development of people under eighteen must not be broadcast and broadcasters must take all reasonable steps to protect people under eighteen. The most common example of this act is taking place is when you cannot film children under the age of eighteen who committed a crime so there face is blurred to protect them, also with adults who commit crimes there face is sometimes blurred so they are protected.

Target audience- my target audience demographic would be lower middle class and middle class people. My psychographic would be mainstreamers /conformists. My target audience will be people aged 15-35 years old. This is because my program is aimed at tennis fans who understand tennis. Also it is for people who follow tennis all year who are aware of what is happening in tennis all year. So you need to have some knowledge of tennis when watching this special report. For my research process I have firstly followed tennis this whole year, this was the easy part of my research process as I am already a tennis fan so I follow the matches anyway. Also I paid attention to the pundits discussing matches before and after a match to get an opinion from the experts. I also watched sky sports news special report on Wimbledon this year to see what content they have in their reports. The sort of questions I would ask is. Who do you think will win the us open? Who are the contenders to win it this year? Who do you think is in the best form coming in to this us open?

When I started my research I made sure I was update with everything to do with tennis, I have watch tennis regularly from grand slams to masters 1000s. I watch analysis of the tennis matches before and after to get the view of the experts and I will incorporate this into my special report. I thinking of using twitter with people asking questions on the show about the tennis. I want to incorporate social networking into my special report so that everyone can be involved in the discussion of the tennis.

As I am doing a tennis special report on the us I thought I could have tennis courts in the background to relate it to the program. These location recces show different angles of a tennis court I could use. I also could use a green screen and add a background with pictures at the top of the screen to make my special report like a real news report.

In my special report I will have the reporter in the studio to update on the news at the us open and the results. I will have a field reporter in a different location to get predictions from people going to watch the match, the weather forecast, give opinion on who will win the match and how the conditions will affect the match. I will film the report and Ill edit the raw footage to make the report professional and look like a news program. When the reporter in a different location finishes their report I will link it back the studio to make it feel like a news report.
