Statement of Intent.

I am going to produce a media product for set brief 1. This is because I particularly take an interest in game shows and competitions. I enjoy shows with an interactive nature and I also have a fascination for television that motivates an active audience. My aim is also to offer an escape from reality, through a cooking show where young chefs show their skills and passion whilst competing in different rounds. with a comforting home viewing feel, that viewers can casually watch and become invested in. I would also like my cooking competition to portray as an opportunity for aspiring chefs to become successful and given an opportunity to show their skills. I will also have clear identification of genre codes and conventions when it comes to a fast-paced but entertaining show go all ages.  I would apply Roland Barthes theory of ‘an active audience’. I find this theory very interesting and would like to further explore how Barthes considered the meaning of the finished text e.g. song, film or advert and how it is to be created by the audience therefore a text always remains open. I would like to focus on this and further explore how a family or youth at home can interact and become an active participant whilst watching the show from home. I would also like to explore how tv can display light-hearted content, whilst also being inclusive, diverse and engaging. This could be done through work such as semiotics and narrative theory. The audience I am targeting will be teenagers. By creating a competitive, witty and a lad back series. I can target young teens by easily accessing their screens, with a skills-based competition that can be viewed globally and at any time. I want to connect both productions in terms of content and representation. For this, I will use similar settings, colour schemes and participants throughout the opening credits and will include multiple camera and film shots to be compiled together. I will also use consistent iconography to ensure the theme of my brief is still abided. I hope for my camera shots to look professional and high quality, with appropriate framing of shots and editing.
