Digital News Production: Casting Advert.

In our group we decided that we want to cast for our ''live'' news film and news package. Myself and Vic wrote down who we need for our news pieces and came up with a presenter for the studio and a reporter for on location and interviewing.
Looking at http://www.starnow.com/ and http://www.castingcallpro.com/uk/ we wrote an advert on each website seeking 2 reporters (one for each story) and 1 presenter. We decided that we wanted our news reporter to be around 24-40 in age as we want them to look mature and professional. We aren't sure whether we want a male/female presenter yet so we are allowing either gender to apply for the role. We've decided we want the attire to be formal/smartwear and have neat hair and makeup (if female). I'm going to create demographics and psycohgraphics for our audience so we can narrow down who we are aiming our news TV show at. I'm also going to do further research on nature news programmes to see if the audience is a niche audience - very specific, or a wider audience - with lots of different views and personalities.

Here is the adverts we created below:

We've decided to book dates at the Maidstone Television Studios to organise auditions for people that apply. We've also decided to start filming towards the middle of the month so we can film the farm before the winter begins to kick in. We will film more depending on the footage we shot after the first draft has been handed in after critical feedback on the 31st October.

Here is what we wrote on our add:

''We are in university and are creating a news production, and are in need for 3 actors to play the roles of either a presenter or reporter. The first role is a presenter who will present a short news show and introduce each story. The 2 reporters are going to report on 1 specific story each and interview people. We need actors with confidence and around the ages of 24 to 40. We are looking for both male and female actors. AUDITIONS will be taking place on the 14th,17th and 20th of OCTOBER 2014, at the Maidstone Television Studios, Vinters Park, New Cut Road, ME14 5NZ. Times: 12:00PM-18:00. You will need to be available to film on these dates: 21st to 24th of October and if needed we'll contact again for further filming.
WE WILL PAY YOUR TRAVEL EXPENSES AND FOOD FOR THE DAY OF FILMING.

We look forward to hearing from you,
Thanks
Vittorio Falcucci and Ruby Rogers''

We also created the same advert on Castingcallpro and have already received 1 application.
