- Students smiling and laughing
- Students often have a pen and paper in front of them
- Some gathered round a table
- If only single model, mostly female
- Models are sometimes standing with books
Once this research was carried out, we went around the school to take pictures that fit in with the genre identifiers. The next stage, after taking the pictures, was to go through all the pictures and make a group decision of which ones to keep and which ones to get rid of.
Finally, we narrowed the choice down to two. This was carried out by looking for inferred or extra meanings within the pictures and which ones had the best narrative, which enabled us to see which pictures would and would not suit a school prospectus.
The two that were chosen both followed some of the genre identifiers such as the single student in one was female and both were shown with student(s) smiling and laughing with school work in front of them.
Impact on my own production:
This can be linked to the Advanced Production Coursework as it has enhanced my knowledge of how to spot genre identifiers. This is helpful to me as I am now able to categorise the narrative of different TV websites which will be useful and easier for me when creating my own TV website.
