Tiivistelmä
The aim of this thesis is to define the planning, organization and workflows for producing a scheduled regular television magazine to be delivered to an online target audience using internet web streaming video technology. The production will be customized to a specific target audience and be published online through various internet browsers that can be accessed via the internet. The website will be designed to be easy to navigate for the user, and have a media player embedded that will play the live production during scheduled advertised live performances. It will also have the ability to stream the recorded productions later at the user’s convenience. The production will be viewable on multiple devices such as personal computers, laptops, tablets and handheld smartphones.
This thesis also entails the various stages of planning and development of a real life project. A real life test case was produced over the winter of 2011/12 called ‘Metro TV’, which was produced by Metropolia students and faculty. The Metro TV team and I produced four scheduled productions that targeted Metropolia students as the intended audience. The content of the magazine covered many aspects of student life as well as students projects and events directly related to the target audience. There were several video inserts produced for the magazine that were made by Metropolia students as well as several live interviews with important guests directly related to Metropolia students.
During my time as a producer of Metro TV, the project produced four successful online productions from the middle of December 2011, through to the end of February 2012. With every production, much was learned and many improvements were made by the Metro TV team and the amount of viewers increased with every episode. In the future, this kind of project could become a useful method of communication for schools, businesses, organizations or local area groups as well as a useful training tool for students to learn more about video production.
