I carried out a survey and found out what people's favourite consoles are, their favourite genres of games and how often they play them. Also finding out if they play games regularly or not.

I studied that the PlayStation 4 is the most popular console within my group of research.

First person shooters were the seconds most favourited genres, while following first was RolePlaying games.

I studied that people play games regularly on average four to five times a week, whenever they have free time.

Secondary Research

From watching an interview called “E3 - Weird gamer guy (Original)” on YouTube I studied that peoples favourite types of games were RolePlaying and Strategic. People are excited about games that they would wait on average three hours to queue up for a new game.

    Questionnaire

Are factual shows important to you? Why?

Yes they are, as they teach me facts about subjects I wouldn’t of known, such as Q.I, watching this makes me learn something new every day

Do you research the facts the show provides?

If I don’t believe what they just said, then yes I do

How often do you watch a factual show?

I watch factual shows very often, maybe three times a week

Do you enjoy factual shows?

They’re my favourite shows

What is the reason for watching factual shows?

So I can learn new things and understand what’s happening in the world

From studying this questionnaire, I’ve learned that factual shows are a big part of people’s lives, as they enjoy them because they learn new things each day and understand what’s happening in the news. This helped us create our show GNN (Gaming news now) as it’ll teach people different facts about the games and also tell the audience when new releases will be around. So we’re updating them on games.

As I’ll be directing this show. It is important for me to make sure the cameras are set up correctly, lighting is good and the set is placed where it’s supposed to be while also making sure the camera know where they’re facing and when they need to interact.

SCRIPT

Charlie: Hello and welcome to the first instalment of Gaming News Now. Today we will be discussing some of the major news being put forward in Gaming.

(Roll Title Credits)

Charlie: The biggest story this week is the announcement from Xbox to start working towards Cross-Platform play. This will allow a whole range of gaming fans, (Xbox, PS, PC) to be able to buy a range of games and be able to play with everyone, no matter what they own.

Charlie: Everyone is okay with the idea of Xbox and PlayStation working together, but people aren’t quite sure how PC players will be able to integrate with the consoles. What do you guys think about the idea of Cross-Platform?

(WAITS FORT THEM TO ANSWER)

Charlie: As the moment we have been told that it is only Rocket League, and small indie games that are in development for this step. So we could be seeing gaming come to a whole new level within the next 3 years. Profits will go up for the gaming industry and it will mean a lot more people being open to the idea of involving the opposite platform.

The likeliness of this happening for the AAA titles, such as, CoD, Fifa, GTA, Destiny, being open for everyone. This won’t happen for the next few years as they want to let people get used to the idea first, therefore leaving it until the next set of consoles are released.

(ROLL GRAPHICS)

Charlie: The next news story is about the HTC Vive. Everyone knows about the Oculus Rift as the first Virtual Reality Gaming Headset. But now other companies have released their own, upgraded versions. For example, the HTC Vive and the PlayStation VR.

The Vive costs around £350, whereas the Oculus Rift costs £419. The quality of the Rift has been bad over the years, whereas the new releases of the Vive and VR have shown a full 1080P HD Quality spectrum. The rift has also been known to make the users feel very nauseous when they are using it for a long time whereas the other two have not shown these side effects. Would you pay more money for something that’s been well tested or less money for better quality?

I’ll need to keep everything done under the producer's schedule as it’s all tight with time to get everything done.

For our VT we’ll just be interviewing people about games and what games they like. It’ll be 60 seconds interviewing three different people while having twenty seconds on each person.

They’ll be three different shots of the person standing outside a game shop such as GAME, Cex, HMV, Gadget etc. The person will stand to the left of the screen facing someone behind the camera.

Gemma, Charlie, Shanice, Chantelle and I created a video based Podcast which explores and discovers facts and secrets about games the public have not yet discovered. The duration will be ten minutes with a video transmission of at least 30 seconds exploring the facts about gaming and the statistics.
There will be three guests on the show, non of which are presenters as it is all equally based, as they're going to be discussing different types of games and also debating on games. Using facts based online from secondary research while also using primary research.
The main topic will be talking and sharing views on recent news stories that have something to do with games and how the impact of other peoples lives. Exploring the rumours and understanding the differences from how people can cope with violence etc.
There will be only three cameras on set as one will be based in the middle viewing all the guests. Another on the left viewing the right and middle guest, while the other on right viewing the left and middle guest. That way, everybody is shown. The middle guest will open the show with the title and they will also end the show on the positive note.
