Research commences


I have started researching documentary codes and conventions, and have also began looking into documentaries that are based around stigmatised subjects such as rape and suicide. This is going to help me start to plan out what my sequence will entail and what kind of content I will include to make the potential audience intrigued, but not too upset/distressed with too much difficult content as it is such a sensitive topic.

Introduction

Hello, I'm Fraser and welcome to my blog. I have set up this blog to log my progress and notable development points of the set media studies coursework that I have been tasked with. We have been asked to create an audio visual television program sequence that lasts from 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes long. Along with this I have been asked to create a front cover and double page spread feature article to publicise your television programme in a new lifestyle magazine.

Aims and intentions

Fraser Cavan – Aims and intentions draft   In my production I will use a vast amount of different angles such as high and low shots. As well as this I will include various shot positioning such as medium shots and over the shoulder shots. I intend to use these as well as many sound effects in my production to keep it flowing and thus making it more interesting to the viewer. Using the same monotonous angles and shots will make my audio-visual video boring and uninteresting.   My production will infer a lot of reference to the representation of gender in our modern day society.

However when first struck with a domestic demand that does not relate to her job, we see her respond in a sarcastic and powerful way in which she rejects her boss. Which challenges the idea that women in our soc...
