BBC One Purposes

Management and Structure

The Royal Charter The BBC’s six purposes are set out by the royal chart and Agreement, the constitutional basis for the BBC as presented to Parliament these purposes are basically out lining the value of the BBC as its mission is to inform, educate, and entertain the viewer.

The BBC Trust is Led be Chairmen Lord Patten. The Trust is the guardian of the license

fee revenue and of the public interest in the BBC. The BBC trust set challenges for the

BBC   

  

•         Increase the distinctiveness and quality of output;
•         Improve the value for money provided to license fee payers;
•         Set new standards of openness and transparency; and
•         Do more to serve all audiences.

The BBC trust issue a service licence to every BBC service stating what we expect it to deliver and how much it can spend.

Executive Board and Senior Management manage the BBC. It is responsible for operational management and for delivery of BBC services according to the plans that have been agreed with the BBC. It is supported by a number of groups and the BBC trust assesses the performance of the executive board in the annual report

Statutory Commitments:

What are the BBC Purposes and how are they delivered?

The purposes of the BBC are to promote education and learning, sustain citizenship and civil society, stimulating creativity and cultural excellence, representing the UK, its nations and regions and communities, bringing the UK to the world and the world to the UK and deliver to the public the benefit of emerging communications technologies and services.

How will the BBC ensure they are delivering value to all audiences?

The BBC Trust, after public consultation, has divided this remit into five specific priorities:

•        Provide independent journalism of the highest quality.
•        Engage a wide audience in news, current affairs and other topical issues.
•        Encourage conversation and debate about news, current affairs and topical issues.
•        Build greater understanding of the parliamentary process and political institutions governing the UK.

Explain how the BBC represents the UK, its nations, regions and communities

The BBC's network news output will effectively report the changing face of the UK and the realities of devolution. It will reflect perspectives from across the nations and regions and explain policy differences. The BBC has worked hard in recent years to improve the accuracy, balance and relevance of its UK-wide news coverage, but there is room for further improvement in both newsgathering and output.

Television License

What is the TV License and who pays it?

Everyone in the UK who watches or records TV programmes at the same as they are shown on TV needs to be covered by a TV licence. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and DVD/VHS recorders.

The Government sets the level of the licence fee. In January 2007 the licence fee was agreed for a six-year period with the amount being approved each year by Parliament. More recently the Government decided to freeze the licence fee at its 2010 level of £145.50 until the end of the current BBC Charter period in 2016.

How is this money used?

Between 1 April 2012 and 31 March 2013 the cost was £145.50 – the equivalent of £12.13 per month or just under 40p per day. The BBC used its income from the licence fee to pay for its TV, radio and online services, plus other costs, as shown below.

School Trip: 
While staying the BBC in school we had a trip to the BBC head quarters. we had a tour of what goes on inside the BBC seeing all the different aspects. while waiting for the tour to begin we was lucky enough to see one of the weather presents work, we saw that there is a green screen behind the presenter and then with the technology on the screen they would add in the map in and the weather that was going to occur. after seeing this the guides took us to a mock f the actual weather forecast presentations. a few members of our class was selected to take part, one member would sit behind a desk and introduce the weather presenter. another member would stand in front of the green screen and pretended to present the weather. on the screens that are shows was we could see what the public would see if it was actually broadcasted, this was a good way to see how the BBC presenters actually work and what goes on behind the scenes. We also saw many other presentation rooms such as the radio and also we got to sit on the seats that are shown on the one show. this also looks very different to what it does on TV as you cannot see the whole room but once in there we could feel the environment the presenters worked in. 

Here are photos of the three members of our group that got chose to preform the weather and what it would look like in an actual studio.
you can see Harry in-front of the big screen and then on the TV you can see him with the map and weather forecast.

News vs Documentary

Within the news and documentary there are some similarities, they both tell people information about a certain topic. however there are many  differences, for example:

News:
Within news programs the information told is what is happening around the world at the present time, they will report new news every days however there are some cases where they do refer to the past however this will only occur if it is an anniversary of that particular. also it may occur when someone that was involved in that even has died or been caught in the news for other reasons.
In news reports they have to dress very smart look straight into the TV and talk very clearly and strong. also, the information told will be narrowed down and said in just a couple of minutes.   
journalist from the news wont take long collecting the information they will interview possibly a few people but wont be in depth and will only be a few people.

Documentary:
A Documentary is different to the news the information normally told in a documentary will be found and discovered over many years then told whenever, the documentary will have the information spread out the whole episode or even the series, it will still be clear to the viewer due to it normally being narrated over the top of what footage is being played. the filmmaker isn't normally caught on camera, but if he is then he will be wearing whatever is appropriate for the situation, this is due to the fact he is working and at the time he may only be talking to one or 2 people not the whole world. In a documentary as well the film maker will interview many people over a certain period of time or film certain things over a long period, this also gives very good perspective when showing the documentary as it people witness what they are being told about instead of it being a man or women in a suit.

In Both: Archive Footage: this is where other footage that has been taken by someone else  will be shown within a clip. Archive footage will mainly been shown within news if what they are currently showing relates to a historic event, they will take clips from this historic event and will show it to the audience explaining what is happening. In documentary's archive footage is very common to be shown. as within documentary's it is mainly about one subject so the filmmaker will use all kinds of footage from past and present to display the feel for the subject.  

Voice over interviews: Documentary's will have various voice overs but the main is narrative, they can narrate different facts over the top of different footage. Also within documentary's  different kind of interviews. They will all be displayed in different manners, the interview could be played over the top in a voice over from or either just shown on the screen. In News Interviews don't occur as much, journalist will be shown explaining and stating facts on what they have discovered, however they will occasionally ask either a member of the public a few question or even a high up employee of  a company or business that has been looked into.

Text: Text will appear on documentary with different facts. facts will appear n the screen in text format. within a news program there many bee all kinds of different kinds of texts such as stating who someone is, or having the topic area titled what location it is being filmed in and also the time. 

Sound: Documentary will emphasize sound, making it boulder and louder, also adding special sound effects. sounds will draw the reader into the footage more even making it more dramatic. news doesn't really have many different types of sound, however it may before and after the program.

Dramatization: This will is used in both documentary and also news. Within documentary sound will be emphasized with mainly only bias clips making it very clear on the point the film maker wants to make. facts will be enlarged with even some being voice overs to really get the the interviews, different effect will be used to give the clips more emotion. However within news it is mainly the journalist, the way the present emphasizes what is being told making it more dramatic, their tone in voice and also there body posture and how they move while speaking.

Realism: realism is where the genre of the documentary can relate to many people. such as super nanny, this is relates and everyone has a family. Realism connects with the viewers more. it showing the viewers the effect of different topic areas. they have to take everything into account for, such as costume due to the era that they want to show, everything has to be 'real' to set the right mood. 

Story Ideas

Within my group i have thought of 3 different ideas for a documentary.

My first idea - The difference between non league football and professional football.

The reason we came up with this idea was down to the fact 2 members of our group play non league football. we have also spoke about the different condition that we play in and our passion or the sport drove us to think also about how different professional football is to what we play. there are many differences such as the quality played, the money involved, as they get paid to play and non league some teams the player pay the club, also the conditions and environments, professionally if it rains the pitch can be drained or if it snows the pitch can be heated, non league the game will just be called off. also i feel the most important factor is how the players act, professional players are very 'professional' in what they do, they are mostly on TV and if not they have a very large crowd, they have to be sensible and 'controlled'. non league even if there are family watching you can get away with a lot more making the game possibly more dirty and unsportsmanlike. we would interview ex player as see what they felt while playing professionally and also non league players and what they think of the game.

Second Idea- Life of a Sixth former.

We came up with this idea due to the fact all of our group go to sixth form. when discussing this we figured out that for some students life can be very different. there are many factors that depend on this such as how many subjects they do,what sort of friends they have, family etc. we thought that everyone is different but all study at the same school. we want to find out how hard they work at school and if they do what motivates them or if not what is holding them back, we want to capture them in school doing things they would normally do in everyday life and compare different people to see what they get up to and also if they are a lot different to each other discover why there grades at the end of the year are similar or different. we will interview 3 different student, one will be a female student that gets on with their work however still has a social, another will be a male that doesn't work hard and rather a social than to do work. the last person we are going to film will be head boy of sixth form he works very hard to get his work done and get the best possible grade.

Third Idea - the difference between being 18 and 17.

we came up this this last idea and we thought it was a main topic area with teenager around this age, in the UK and many other places around the world at the age of 18 you are an adult  and can do anything they wish. however at 17 the main thing that becomes legal is driving. during the year many friend ship groups have people that are old in their year or young people are turning 18 throughout the whole year, we want to find out how much better life is now that they are 18 but then is it a downside being older than everyone as all their friends are still 17 they don't have anyone to go clubbing with. we also want to find out if being a 17 year old is challenging when your friends are turning 17 and are going out and they cant go. also we will discover many 17 year old get away with being 17 but yet still get let into the clubs and get treated like an adult. we will interview people that are old in their year and have turned 18 and also people who are very young and still are 17 while all there friends are  turning 18

Issues in a Documentary

Documentaries have many pros and cons within them. However there are some main issues that people may not see as a viewer but can effect the way in which what has been documented seen differently. I feel the main factor of this is when interviewing people, it mainly depends on what question is asked, however everyone has there own opinion which can make things very bias, or if not explained properly can sometimes give people the wrong idea and opinion on something. this can also give people the wrong information in the person being interviewed gives there opinion making it sound more like  fact and then  if the film maker doesn't give the proper fact it can make the viewer believe differently.

Another factor that can cause issues is the filming itself, if the editing and filming, if the documentary is just interviews of people asking them about a certain subject area then it can be very boring and samey, also if there is not much footage on what the documentary is about then the viewer can get bored very easy and not be interested in what is being said even if it is the valuable information.

There are other issues that are small but can also play effect. things such as if the film maker has a main subject point but steers off the point and starts interfering with the main subject choice, Also i feel how much information is being told can either draw the viewer in or steer them away. if to much information is being said at one point then it can be hard to take it all in, Also if the information is pointless  and useless then it might draw people away.

Another small issue is the length of the documentary, if it is very long then towards the end viewers may be tired and then they miss the conclusion and may not understand why it was produced, or if it to short then the filmmaker may find it hard to get all the information needed within the length of the documentary making it rushed and not as exciting.

The last small issue that might be is the language that is used, if it to technical then it will be very hard to understand, but then if it is to simple then it may make the information sound fake.


Accuracy - Accuracy and precision are defined in terms of systematic and random errors. The more common definition associates accuracy with systematic errors and precision with random errors. Another definition, advanced by ISO, associates trueness with systematic errors and precision with random errors, and defines accuracy as the combination of both trueness and precision.
Accuracy is very important through documentary making, if the film maker isnt getting the right information, telling people facts that are wrong or inaccurate then the film will be non-fictinal. i feel that accuracy is one of the main features within documentary film making.

Balance - A state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of weight, amount, etc.
Balance also plays a very important part, deoending on what the documentarys is about if the film maker wants it to be engaging then each aspecrt of the film such as archive footage, interviews, and also where the facts are being told.

Impartiality -  Is a principle of justice holding that decisions should be based on objective criteria, rather than on the basis of bias, prejudice, or preferring the benefit to one person over another for improper reasons.

objectivity - The objectivity of my documentary is finding out how three people react to a situation they may not be comfortable with. We followed three students around so that we could see what their reaction would be, and how they would work with the cameras as well as showing their day to day life.

Subjectivity - Subjectivity refers to how someone's judgment is shaped by personal opinions and feelings instead of outside influences. Subjectivity is partially responsible for why one person loves an abstract painting while another person hates it.

Opinion - In general, an opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement about matters commonly considered to be subjective, i.e. based on that which is less than absolutely certain, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. Opinion can be a huge changing point within a documentarys, due to if the film maker has a different opinion to who he is filming or interviewing, or even on the subject area then it can change the way the film maker asks questions or even how the how film is edited, The producers may want viwers to see their side of the story what they feel should be shown and not the whole picture.

Bias - Bias is an inclination of temperament or outlook to present or hold a partial perspective, often accompanied by a refusal to consider the possible merits of alternative points of view. People may be biased toward or against an individual, a race, a religion, a social class, a political party, or a species. Biased means one-sided, lacking a neutral viewpoint, not having an open mind. Bias can come in many forms and is often considered to be synonymous with prejudice or bigotry. Being bias can impact the the way in which the veiwer could see the main focus point. Film makers have to be careful to who they decide to interveiw. If they decided to interveiw to many people that are bias one way then it will change the whole opinion to the documentary.

representation - We were trying to show what it was life in the life of a sixth former, how things have changed since the lower school and what they do now their in the sixth form. They represented different types of sixth formers and thats what we were looking for and they really represented that.

Privacy - Is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively. The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share common themes. When something is private to a person, it usually means that something is inherently special or sensitive to them. Documentarys are the best way to exploite infomation, they tell people the facts on past and present showing the world what people may not see with the naked eye. however Telling the deep inner facts can be very private. people explore things that can be private to someone or soemthing, possibly upsetting
