Some people adapted the ideas from anyone from the books from e.g.

Ireland’s Favourite TV Genre

I think that Ireland’s favourite TV genre is drama, because it shows the feelings by everyone about the ones they loved so much when they were happy together and when the characters dies or left the area for number of reasons.

Comments

Everyone who answered why is any genre their favourite it’s because it’s real life, like watching things which happens in soaps and to following the storylines, in Sitcoms some people like to laugh and no thinking was involved.in documentary they are interested in facts rather than fiction and it’s factual & educational. In reality, some people like watch what everyone is doing.

Research Gathering for Video Project

Methods I used was mainly Secondary research i.e. internet searches and reading of class notes, I used class hand-outs for camera i.e. how to use them & set them up, tripod for setting up, sounds for recording, for using the equipment hands on, I personally went to class and follow tutor’s guidance asked primary research question for e.g. how get the video working on Adobe Premiere.

I read over the storyboard hand-out to allow me to plan my project and follow an example.

I was very aware of important of contents to be in my video hence I used the contents form with the permission for outline provided.

Internet research carried out for this project was using Google to look that suitable locations (this is called Recce) I used YouTube to look at example videos to give us ideas e.g. a cheater in a race but always fail. In Bus vs. Train, a man named Kyle wanted to win the race for the bus team so he poured oil on the rail tracks near the signal, block the water tower with stones and change the point which connected to the sidings.

What Did I Learned in this Class

Well this class was really hard, but I hard to know in task 2 that you can look at the this of TV shows with views on it.

Before I came here, I already knew about Primary & Secondary Research in business class so that I could remember the answers.

But I can’t remember that did I learned quantitative back in school or not.

National Readership Survey was the only part which I learned in this course, I didn’t know.
