My Current Understanding of Media

The preliminary task and lessons involving editing have been very insightful for me.
I have found that continuity is a vital 'piece of the puzzle', [final desired product], because it helps create a believable flow of the narrative.
I have also understood that editing is vital; as a TV Drama, Film, Animation or Advert generally use editing to give the episode, scene or clip a smooth finish.

Editing means that you can 'mix and match' different sections of your scenes, clips or episodes together, add non-diagetic sounds, change the colours etc. This can change an audiences interpretation of the product result. However, it can also confuse an audience. The editor/s have to be very careful that they do not do this.
The whole production team is involved and responsible for the final product, everyone must know how the storyline goes and which clip goes where; otherwise it will just 'go to pieces'.
Communication is vital in any production; if there is a break in communication the whole production may be in jeopardy.

If this happens and a production does not meet it's desired audience criteria or ratings then they may have to 're-write' the production, to meet the needs of the audience, or cancel the Series, Film, Animation or TV Drama mid-way. However, some fortunate productions have just had a bad review and manage to 're-write'.

I may have gotten a little carried away into my 'element', but overall I have described what I am increasingly understanding as the course goes on.

Thanks for reading,
Until the next entry :)

Editing process

We have been working on Abode Premier Pro.

This has been helping me understand how I can edit and insert clips.

I also know how time consuming it can be; focusing on each clip. It was very intimidating going through each step of the clip. I changed effects, added a four colour gradients to the clip and a beginning title. I am finding

It is difficult at the moment but I will get better as I practise this.

How much television do I watch a week?I watch between 5 and 10 hours a week.Do I have cable, satellite or Freeview? I have Freeview.Do I have a television set in my bedroom? No.What are my favourite television programmes? Doctor who, The Fades, Misfits, Top boy, The Imbetweeners, Phone Shop and Merlin.My answers build up a profile of a person as a media consumer.

An audience are people who speculate or listen to a form of text that is presented visually or spoken, for example, a radio or television program. 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.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'.An audience can be divided into several different categories. There are many categories and a singular person can be part of vast amounts of categories, some more than others. For example, a person may be a romanticist and loves watching romantic comedy's or reading romance novels. However, that same person may also watch action and horror movies. Also, there are many different age groups and ethnicities that people are classed into, for example, 'a middle aged African male' and a 'young teenage European girl'. Therefore, an audience may be be divided into several categories.I believe these categories are demographic; they are based on age, gender, social class, background/race and occupation.However, even within these categories there can be levels of gradation.For example the social class category consists of the following:

• A

- Upper middle class; Higher managerial, administrative or professional.

• B

- Middle class; Intermediate managerial, administrative or professional.

• C1

-Lower middle class; Supervisory or clerical and junior managerial, administrative or professional.

• C2

- Skilled working class; Skilled manual workers.

• D

- Working class; Semi and unskilled manual workers.

• E

- Those at the lowest levels of subsistence; Casual or lowest grade workers, pensioners and others who depend on the welfare state for their income.

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, to ascertain what would work well and what they could improve on.Secondary research can be obtained by using ratings and circulation figures from specialised media research organisations, providing a more accurate form of research.Audiences interact with and respond to different elements or codes,  There are verbal codes - language, visual codes - what is seen and aural codes - what is heard; normally through music.

Analysis of the Introducing scene of the film 'Inception'

In the film 'Inception' there are various genres present. However, analysing all of them would be strenuous. Therefore, I have decided to analyse the 'Action genre' within the extract.

Action is about a character or several characters facing a physical, mental or emotional challenge.

The long shot of the crashing waves immediately involves the audience, getting their attention. This could symbolise a turbulent event forthcoming.

 The character established is faced with the prospect of being shot or being faced with death as a gun is thrusted into his back as he is lying in the sand of a desolate place. This is realised using camera shots like, close ups, long shots, high angles teamed with mid shots and the low angles. Thus, creating, suspense and the impression of power and dominance.
