180 Degree Rule

180 Degree Rule is described as below:
In a dialogue scene between two characters, Justin (orange shirt, frame left in the diagram) and Drew (blue shirt, frame right), the camera may be placed anywhere on the green 180° arc and the spatial relationship between the two characters will be consistent from shot to shot, even when one of the character is not on screen. Shifting to the other side of the characters on a cut, so that Drew is now on the left side and Justin is on the right, may disorient the audience.

However if the 180 degree rule is crossed, it will confuse the audience because the directions will be different. For example if we see a person on our left and then suddenly they change directions and we see them on our right, it will confuse us as we will be wondering if the person was on the right or the left.

Camera Angles and Movements

Camera Angles

Some of the angles will give the audience more information about the characters and their emotions ad feelings. I looked at some of the angles below. 

This is an eye level shot and it shows us that the character is equal as the audience watching the character.

This is a high angle shot and this is where the camera is above the character. This makes the character look small and in less power over others.

This is a low angle shot, where the camera is below the character and it helps to make the audience feel that the character has more power, is more important. 

Camera Movements

This is a Pan. It basically means that the camera  stand is still in one position and the person filming will just move the camera around or up and down. Can be used on a  spinning chair.

This is tracking. This movement of the camera is wen a person filming will move across the scene. Usually used when someone is driving or waking. Can be used when some on sits and other person pushes the to the side.

Scriptwriting

What is a script?
Script represents a text document containing a list of instructions that need to be executed by a certain program or scripting manager so that the desired automated action could be achieved. 

What makes an excellent script?

There is a scene heading
The name of the characters, then the dialogue
There is a good of description of action
There is a good of description of diagetic and non-diagetic sound
Good description of Shot- e.g. CUT TO...

My answers build up a profile of a person as a media consumer.

A media product cannot exist without and audience. The products that the creative media create are all designed for a specific audience. Targeting the right product at the right audience in the right way is an important skill that all media producers must develop if their particular product is going to survive.

Definition Of Audience

The definition that i have found on the Internet is :The people who watch or listen to a television or radio program

Classification of audiences

Some target audiences are quite broad. Olympic Games, for instance, will target a mass market. Some products are targeted at a much narrower, specialised target audience and is often referred to as a niche market.

Audience can be divided into different categories.

The categories that I would put them into to are :

• Age
• Gender
• Social Class
• Culture
• Lifestyle
• Sexual orientation
• Location

Media organisations undertake audience research to find out information about their target audience using primary, secondary, quantitative and qualitative research methods and techniques.

Media organisations use primary research techniques such as focus groups, questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Secondary research can be obtained by using ratings and circulation figures from specialised media research organisations.

Audiences interact with and respond to different elements or codes, There are verbal codes (language); visual codes (what is seen) ; and aural codes (music).

Analysis of the intro of an action film 'Inception'

I found out that Inception has more than one genre so I decided to pick and analyse the Action genre. The Action genre is where one or more characters are thrust into a series of challenges. The shot types used in action genre are Mid-shot, close ups, low and high angle shot, establishing shot, long shot and over the shoulder shot. All of this shots are really important in an action genre because they help us to understand what is going on in the film and they help us to see different feelings of the characters. The intro of the Film gives us a clear understanding that it is action because it involves us in the scene straight away and the character is being faced different challenges such as waking up in the middle of no-where and being threatened with a gun.

Thank you for reading this analysis. Hope you liked it. Keep following :)

Analysis of the intro of a Comedy "Don't be a Menace"

This beginning of the film exaggerates racial stero-types of the Black culture that live in a urban neighbourhood and they shoot each other for the fun of it. They do not live past the age of 21. The mother acts so hysterical when her "son" is shot and this does not seem realistic. But when she discovers that the boy is not her son it just makes the film funny. This shot goes for about 25 seconds and it comes from the long shot to a mid shot. You can see everything just on the storyboard below.

Thriller Genre

I have just done my presentation on the film genre that i have chosen. it was a bit of a stress but i think I've done good.
Hope you like it :)

BBC Research

BBC Research

For this task I used secondary research (primarily using the internet).

What media industry is the company involved in?

The BBC is a public funded service. That broadcasts as a service for the UK only. It is compulsory in every TV because people pay the TV license.

Who are the company’s main customers (audience)?

Everyone that buys a TV or has a TV with a license is the BBC’s customers.

How many people does the company employ?

The BBC employs about 30000.

Is the company local, national or multinational?

The BBC is multinational.

Who owns the company- is it privately owned part of a bigger group of companies or a public company?

The BBC is a 'public corporation': neither a private corporation nor a government department. The high ideal is that it is held in trust for the public of the UK by the BBC Trust (the successor to the Board of Governors following the renewal of the BBC Charter by the government in 2006).

Is it worth YOUR while to work with this client? Why?

Yes it would be worth to work with this client because if everyone has BBC on their TV’s then there would be a lot of profit from it.

The Production Process

Pre-production- is the process of preparing all the elements involved in a film, play, or other performance.
Post production-is part of the filmmaking process. It occurs in the making of motion pictures, television programs, radio programs, advertising, videos, audio recordings, photography and digital art. ...
Production-The action of making or manufacturing from components or raw materials, or the process of being so manufactured
