Completed Schedule:

This image shows the schedule completed. As I did not have the software myself to complete the table, I did it on another laptop. It was very simple, I created a table using Microsoft Word. As mentioned in previous posts, I have included the programmes already created for the purpose of 21TV but I have also constructed some specifically for the schedules. 

I am pleased with the way that the schedule has been created as it means it will be easy to edit weekly, which is a feature that I mentioned in previous posts found here and here. 

As you can see, the table shows the day of the week along the top row and the first column is allocated to the time of the programmes. For the schedule I have used the font Georgia, as this is the font of the text on my blog.

If the programme is airing for more than half an hour at a time, the specific programme will be allocated two boxes, an example of this can be seen for the first programme 'Quiz It' on Monday at 6:30-7:30. 
As you may also be able to tell from the schedule, there are multiple repeats of programmes throughout the week, this is almost to mirror the fact that a lot of channels already on the air such as Sky Living and BBC 3 either repeat shows multiple times a day or week or have the same programme on at a scheduled time every single day, as I have with Students (bar Sunday). 

The schedule shows a range of programmes including quiz shows, dating shows, the latest news relevant to the channel, fashion, beauty, music, documentaries, comedy, drama and reality. I also decided to include an allocated movie slot for a Sunday evening, this is the only programme on the schedule that is not an originial idea and although the schedule will be weekly, I have decided to name the slot 'Sunday Movie' and keep some suspense for the audience that will be tuning in. 

 I am pleased with the fact that I have been able to create such a wide verity of programmes solely for one channel. Although I have not yet gone into detail about each programme shown in the table, this will follow. As when I was creating the table, each idea had to be developed to at least a basic standard to produce the name. Therefore, each programme has a general outline and theme if it were to be taken as a further programme and explained on the website as for example, Fashionista and Lauren are. 


I have created a title for the schedule page:

This image shows the constructed title for the schedule page, created on Photofiltre.  For the title 'Schedule' I chose the font Times New Roman CE as this is the font I have used for most of the main text in the project. As you can see I chose a hot pink colour for the large text. I am pleased with the colour as I think it stands out when placed on the website, as the colours of the background and surrounding pieces of text are softer colours. For the smaller text, I chose Lucinda Handwriting as I have used this font in other pieces of text for the website, including the FAQ page. I really like the way the two fonts look together as the smaller text is a softer colour and the two compliment each other. I also think that the colours will engage a female audience, which is a positive thing as the schedule is an important aspect of the website; allowing the audience to see the listings of programmes for the week online. 

This print screen shows the title and the schedule on the webpage: 

I really like the way that this page looks. I do think that more information is needed, such as the date of the channel launch, so that the audience is aware of when they can watch the channel as well as the information included on the newspaper advertisement that I have begun to construct, found here. 

The only issue that I may have now is that the channel launch was scheduled on Friday 29 March 2013, which has already passed, as mentioned in another post, I am unsure if this is an issue or whether I can continue with the plan to launch the channel on a Friday. If I do continue with this, there may be some confusion with when exactly the schedule will commence. This is a fault of mine when constructing the schedule as I did not think very well about the plans I had already made in regards to the launch of the channel. This could be a problem when I receive feedback, however it is fixable when I have access to editing the schedule.
