3MW Pre-Production

3MW Pre-Production by Carl Simmonds on Scribd

tv advert evaluation

TV advert evaluation
For my TV advert, my group rebranded the dove hand soap beauty product to the younger generation. We did this because we didn’t think that the product is mainly for older women and females. We thought that making this product more suitable for the younger generation it would make them want to buy the product without them thinking that they have to be older or maybe embarrassed to buy the products.
The rebranding of the product consisted of Hannah being the younger actor who was saying that normal soaps do not wash as good as the dove hand soap product who are done by unilever. Then jazzes mother who was advertising the hand soap bar to her after she had said that other soaps do not do the job that she wanted them to do in the first place.

Therefore, with the advert I think that it went well, we achieved the goal of the advert that was to rebrand it for the younger generation and over the entire advert went well.

Meme Documentary




3MW primary and secondary research

3MW primary and secondary research
The primary research for this task is the work that I have done myself. This is writing up the questionnaires for people to read, analysing what I am going to do for my task and then figuring out what sort of memes and people I am going to need for it. All of the primary research I would have had to do myself.

For the secondary research, it was the job of researching what sort of memes that would be suitable for the documentary and making sure that nobody went off topic with it. I had to make sure that the content they were going to discuss was PG and that it would not offend people. I also researched other documentaries like the one I am making so I could get an idea on what to do. By carrying out this secondary research, I found out that a meme that I used in my 3MW was used in the industry world by virgin, who copyrighted it and it had to be taken down. All of this research was other peoples work.

Proposal of memes

Proposal of memes
Concept view
For this production, we will set out 2-3 interviews where people will talk about the history, why memes are funny, how they have progressed over the years and how they are being used.
It will be presented in a series of interviews and educational. The target audience will be for teenagers to young adults. We will be filming in the college probably the coffee shop or a secluded area. By doing the documentary, we aim to show people how memes have become a new thing and how they are used to humour people and how they have grown in the years. There will not be a budget for this film, as all will be provided to film the documentary. We will just use the camera equipment and computers for editing. It will be me and Joe who will be organising this documentary; I will ask some others to take part for the interviews. We will not need other crewmembers or experts and we will not need costumes. The interviews will not be question orientated, they will be the people explaining to us what they think has happened, with a rough guideline of what we have told them to do it about. We hope to achieve that the knowledge of memes will be interpreted.
Primary research
For our research we are doing a series of interviews with people that will tell us the history of memes, how they have developed over the years, why they are funny, what different memes there are, how they are used in the industry and their own opinion of memes. We may also conduct a questionnaire about memes to get other people’s opinions and the knowledge about memes because not everyone uses them for the same purpose and to see how far there limit will go when they are looking at memes.

An introduction to the news

An introduction to the news
Part 1
BBC News -- 8pm TOTH (Countdown, Headlines, Titles) from Broadcasting House (18/3/2013)
Press regulations with labour. Conservatives and liberal democrats all three leaders claimed the credit. However, there is no framework that it is underpinned by law.
Cyprus bailouts for attacks for saving with bank closings, Fire deaths trial the killing of her six children, Iraq war 10 years on, the death of frank Thornton.
The stories that were shown were just brief clips of what had happened. They also show the opening credits of what they are going to be talking about so you get an idea on what is going to be talked about.
Part 2
Annita McVeigh – presenter, female born in 1982.
Her role is present the news and let the public know what is going on in the world.
The skills that she needs and other newsreaders need are:
ü  To be a confident speaker
ü  Have good research
ü  Factual news
ü  Be able to think on the spot if something occurs
ü  To be able to work with the crew and the other presenters
Part 3
News ordering is they able to make flexible decisions about the topic, order, number and length. They have to make sure they know what to talk about with each topic; the order the news is going to go in, the number of what to talk about and then how long it is going to take.
Affiliate - A local station that subscribes to the services and programs of a network. Anchor - The newscaster who hosts the studio portion of the newscast.  The anchor is the dominant voice in the presentation of the news to the audience.
Terror attacks and world events are most likely to be shown on the news first because they are dramatic and they grab the viewers’ attention more than a fraud case. Crime rates rising in the UK or in certain areas, this grabs the public’s attention because it concerns them and their family. The things that will grab the most attention form the public like what is happening in the houses of parliament and the government and war topics. Then they can get onto the things that bore other people. The other stories will appear on the news but they won’t have much of a grab than the other news will. They may also appear on other news articles like the newspapers and magazines other types of media information sources like phones and computers. The term slow news days means that a time when media organisations publish trivial stories due to the lack of more substantial topics. The final story of the news’s function is to grab the viewers’ attention because they may be getting bored of the news that has already been playing and they may want to turn over, so if there is an interesting story then they will not feel that need to change the channel. They could grab the viewers’ attention by covering some of the points they have already listed about a popular topic like the 10-year war I have previously stated. The final story is called a kicker to express what is happening in the world. They will show what is happening in the world. Major events like the terror attacks in the UK.
The G & R is an independent record label based in London. It was established in 2007, set up by Cockney rejects guitarist Mick Geggus and Andy Russel with the intention of recording and promoting new material from established and new bands.
News values are sometimes called news criteria and they determine how much prominence a news story is given by the media outlet and the attention it is given by the audience.
An analysis by J. Galtung and M. Ruge showed that several factors are consistently applied across a range of news organisations.
Part 4
Bias through selection and omission
Omission – someone or something has been excluded.
Selection – the action of choosing someone or something as being the best or most suitable.
Bias – leaving out one side of the article
Editor chooses to use or not to specific information.
Example of this would be the Robert D. Mare abstract.
Bias through placement example








Placement bias is the manipulation of the order and placement of information in order to distort the impression left in the reader. Liberal methods often use placement bias to obscure important facts unfavourable to their argument, and to promote their claims beyond what is justified.
Bias through headlines
Bias through headlines are the headlines must read part of the news story’s because they are often printed in large and bold fonts. Headlines can be misleading, conveying excitement when the story is not exciting, expressing approval or disproval.  Example of this is -
Bias through shot selection and camera angles – they gather photos though the emotive nature of the image used to illustrate the story like with the thousands in S.F march to protest for the equality for all.
Bias through names and caption - how an individual, group or organisation is designated and the labels used to describe them. An example of this would be the thousands in S.F march to protest. This was for the homosexual rights.
Bias with language - Biased language insults the person or group to which it is applied. In denigrating others, biased language creates division and separation. In using biased language about races and ethnic or cultural groups, speakers and writers risk alienating members of those groups, thus undermining the communication and shared understanding language should promote. The term-biased language refers to words and phrases that are considered prejudiced, offensive, and hurtful. Contrast with bias-free language or unbiased language. Biased language includes expressions that demean or exclude people because of age, sex, race, ethnicity, social class, or certain physical or mental traits.
An example of bias is - Bias is a tendency to favour one person, group, thing or point of view over another, often in an unfair way. Bias can be a personal opinion or a more public opinion, such as a news story, that only presents facts that support one point of view.
