a) I think my guide will be for every age group because everyone would want to go to different creative and media venues for entertainment. The language that i will be using would be how everyone would understand weather they are young or old. The pictures I will be using would be related to the information. Also the pictures would give you a better understanding.
b) I think the people our guide would be for visitors and people living in Stratford that don’t know that much about the area.
c) Most of the people would love to visit any type of venue because they might be interested in looking at different places.
d) My guide will be for people that might have to just spend a little amount of money or nothing at all. Our guide will be for people that are in a lower class or even higher class.
e) The people that our guide will be for, live in many different places so it depends on were they live. They would want to go to the local area (Stratford).
f) I think that most people would be able to speak and understand English fluently, but it can also be for people that don't understand English because we will have pictures that tell you what we are talking about.

Hi my name’s Humaira and I’m going to be talking to you about VOAR.
Voice Of Africa Radio is located on 173 Plaistow Road in London.
It’s a radio station that entertains people by playing African music and broadcasting the latest news in Africa.
This radio station is a receiving house because they get African music and play it on there radio station. They don’t make there own music or anything because if they did they would have been a producing house.
The radio station began broadcasting as a pirate station in January 2000, but was forced off the air while it required certification from Ofcom.
It came back in 2005 and it secured a digital FM licence and they became very successful because more people knew them and they started to become well-known.
Now this is the only African station to do so in the UK and can now also be found on Sky Digital.
Tune in to 94.3FM if you would like to hear Voice Of Africa Radio.
The audience for our guide is going to be for people that are living in the local area and local tourists.
Contribution
In our group we have decided that everyone will write one of the scripts for the venues. I will be writing the script for Voice Of Africa Radio Station (VOARS). Suma is going to write the script for the Museum of Childhood and Rubina is going to write the script for the Theatre Royal. We also all decided that we’d all record our voices saying the script. Suma and me will talk for all of the venues but Rubina will talk for the Museum of Childhood and Theatre Royal.We are going to record our voices on a tape recorder and we will go to Mr McIntosh to help us if the tape recorders don’t work. We are also going to get pictures for all the venues to put in our guide. We went to Theatre Royal and took some pictures to put in the guide we will make later on. We also visited VOARS and Museum of Childhood.
Structure
The structures of the venues we have chosen are all random because we enjoyed visiting them and we want to use them in the guide. We also are planning to add a list of other venues that people can go and visit. We are going to make the guide on iMovie HD.
Distribution
We decided that we are going to put up the guide on the internet /YouTube, so more people are going to be able to watch it. This is because many people get on the internet/YouTube every day and watch videos online. We will also put our guide on our blogs so if people see our blogs they can watch the guide.

Eastenders is located in Albert square and this scene in Eastenders begins with Peggy and Archie talking about the newspaper in the queen Victoria pub. In this scene Peggy is very worried about Ronnie and Roxy being in the newspaper because she is one of the people in the square that is trying to be elected for consoler. This was harder for Peggy and she looked very pail and stressed, I think this was effective because it looked proper real and she was really worried.
