Ideas For Brief

I have decided to create a 2 page newspaper for the local area for my A2 production work i have chosen this as i tried out making a short film as a practice and it didn't go well so I felt to make it a newspaper instead. It will consist of my own photos which i will be able to edit using my skills in photoshop, the articles i will be researching and interviewing for myself and i will design the logo and the brand for the newspaper. To know how to make a professional looking paper i firstly had to study an existing local newspaper so i looked at the Bromley Times they have a different target audience to what i am looking for, my target audience will be to an age range of the youth this will be around 18-34 year olds.

The layout of most professional papers is a 5 column which with a lot of advertising, this is how the newspapers are funded and which is the main reason why most local papers are free. Even though my target audience is different from the Bromley Times i will still be using the same layout as them, this is because i will able to fit in a lot of photos. My paper will have it logo in the top left this is like most conventional newspapers with the headline in bold big writing this also helps the paper to stand out.

My newspaper will be based on sport, music and youth culture (lifestyle). This means the newspaper will have to be relevant to my audience and it will mean that the articles i put in it will have to be interesting to my readers, this mean that i will have to include vidrant and colourful photos which will intrega the reader. However this will be hard as good news doesn't really sell but bad news does. This will mean that my main story will have to be bad news with the other two stories being lighter than the main story this will hopefully result in the newspaper looking good as it shows both type of stories.
