What have we changed?
Our group had a meeting yesterday in which we planned out some major changes to our Snapchat story, this included getting rid of some of the decisions that were criticised previously by our class. This means that we wont be focusing on the student selfie idea and what it may convey as it arguably doesn't seem like a very significant story to focus on.
Because of this we have changed our idea, of which I personally feel our new idea is much more informative and useful to our audience. We will create a story showing students how to make decent meals for themselves at home for a cheap price. Our main objective is to show them that you don't need to spend a lot of money to make decent meals and that they are much better for you than takeaways and microwave meals which students can waste a lot of money on.
After we decided on the idea we had a brainstorming session to figure out how we could film and structure the idea.
Structure:
Introduction: Talk about the negative aspects of unhealthy diets, takeaways etc. and mention that our reporter will be looking into healthier and cheaper options available for students.
Shopping: I felt that it would be good to have a gimmick to get the reporter involved in the story by showing him in the segment buying ingredients in the shop for under £20. We will get permission for this from a nearby supermarket.
Cooking: We will then show the reporter cooking the meal choices we have chosen from the supermarket, showing how to make them in quick steps and show how much they cost.
Ending: The ending will conclude that they don't need to spend their money on expensive food/take aways, show them some affordable options and give them our website address.
Cheap Student Meals:

Veggie meals:

Chicken Masala
I think that Lidl would be a great place to film.
We could start with our reporter outside Lidl, then we could involved him in the package by having him going in and buying the ingredients, to achieve this we could use the GoPro Camera to get his point of view of what he's buying. We could show a graphic of what he is buying and how much it costs. To round it up we could give an introduction to the supermarket he is shopping at, (most likely Lidl) and then show how much he spent on his total items.
