11.QUESTION 1 - IN THE MAKING

For question 1 I will be using a website called WIX. It's main function is to make a website in the format you like. It simple to use and gives clear detail as shown it gives subheading for each category and the gives you clear directions to navigate

Media Theorys

• Todorov: Says that every story has a common structure - Establishment of a situation/scenario

à this is then developed

à then there is a problem/distruption

à then an action/climax

à and finally a resolution

• Levi Strauss: Structuralist

- Binary oppositions

à narratives need oppositions of conflict (tension which drives forward

e.g good vs. bad, male vs. female, crime vs. law and order)

• Roland Barthes: Says narratives follow similar structures. He looks as codes in narratives

e.g. Visual codes - shot editing

Sound Codes - effect, music

à Barthes says that all narratives need many codes to progress narrative and to hold audience. There are 5 codes.

- 2 of them are of use to us:

- Action codes: give us very easily understood information about the next action

- Enigma codes: Withhold information - They pose questions.

• Post Modernism:

- Mix and Match "Bricolage" - Lyotard

- Mix time periods colder style movies

- Mix genres, narrative, styles of story telling (e.g. moving from first to third person)

- Mixing High (e.g. shakespeare) and popular culture (e.g. slang, music, clothing)

- Intertextuality: specific reference made to another media product

Question2,3,4 Planning-

Q2. How do the 3 products link?


- Colour scheme/pallet
- Fonts in print product
- Camera shots
- Language
- Photography and visual look
- Costume, locations, props (Mise-en-scene)
- Iconography/motifs (iconic objects.. in our case the camera used by our main character)
--> the poster is a promotional product. How dwell do these work? Branding - visual signals
- Placement/scheduling
- How do they relate to real life packages?


Q3. Evaluate audience feedback throughout and how it helped.


a) Pitch - Give the feedback, evaluate and discuss (how was it used, was it helpfull)
b) Rough cut video " "
c) Pitch of the print product " "
d) Final Feedback on all three (design yourself - recording, survey monkey...)


Q4. Evaluating technologies


a) Research and planning technologies
- google
- youtube


b) Construction technologies
- DSLR cameras
- Lighting/Sound/Recording equipment


c) Editing
- Final Cut Pro
- InDesign
- Photoshop


d) Presenting technologies
- Wix
- prezi
- youtube
- blogger

Question 1 Planning-

• Textual analysis of camera, editing, sound and mise-en-sene (of our own video/print)

Camera: (will show stills from our film)

• Many shots were used in our short film:

• CU: Show character’s facial expression/emotions
• Wide shot: show full body(costume), as well as the background/scenery
• Medium shot: used to show body language
• Handheld shots: we’ve used handheld shots during scenes that show movement and urgency(the ‘chase scene’ makes the audience feel as though they are part of the scene

Editing:

• Colour correction
• Making use of cropping to create a shutter-like effect
• Video effects to create ominous atmosphere, e.g. bad tv effect (whenever slenderman-like character appeared)

• Case Studies

 Comparison with case studies (can be any real media products that relate)

• Critical theory

analyse/consider narrative, representation, post-modernism

 two types: linear, and non-linear

 non-linear: Will not have a  " " - non chronological, concurrent narrartives, circular
