creating timeline

HUH! such a hot day it was. despite this we managed to do alot of work.
we started of with discussing what exactly would we need to do in order to come up with a successful media product. in terms of marks construction is the most important however to be perfect in it we need to carry out an extensive research. the marks allocated for each category are:
  • Research =10
  • planning = 10
  • construction = 60
  • evaluation = 20
for better understanding, our sir made us make pointers and notes dividing all the research we did on the blogs into these 4 categories.a picture of the board:

we came up with the following:
Research:
things that come under this category include researching on the genre and the types of films that have been produced related to the genre, code and conventions , research on the target audience,statistical feedback of target audience on social media like youtube etc. then thequestionnaires,and the possible camera angles etc. and finally research on the location related to the genre.
Planning:
planning includes the story board, carrying out the synopsis, planning on the locations that would be the most suitable, mise-en-scene. this includes planning on the props,the costumes, lighting and colors, actors and the dialogues. also one needs to plan on the technologies and software that would be used. then comes the most important part of this category: the short divisions, shooting schedule, recee sheet and the budget.
construction:
this includes the photoshoot, the rough cut, editing, final product, feedback +analysis of rough cut, the script, animatic+sound effects, magazine review and the incilarly task.
evaluation:
So the final part of our project will be the evaluation. thgis includes carrying out the market reserach about the product and finaaly the 4 questions.
the next half an hour was spent on making the timeline that we all are suppose to follow for this year.this picture shows us making the timeline:

Later we were informed about the media aspects and the key concepts.
Media concepts include:
  • video
  • print
  • journalism
  • outdoor
  • radio
  • web
  • digital
however we were told that the only option available to us would be video and print.
To have a better understanding of this subject or in other words to be a media literate it is important to have a good grasp over the main key concepts. the main term is known as MIGRAIN where each alphabect stands for a word.
M= media language
I=ideology
G=genre
R=representation
A=audience
I=instituation
N= narrative
it is of utmost imporatnce that while making our product we keep in mind some very important facts:
  1. deciding on the media audience, how they will know about our product and how they can relate to it
  2. different media agencies that will be involved in the distribution process
  3. media language
  4. the different categories
  5. and finally the reprentation of the audience.

  1. Video , Print, journalist etc are not the key concept of Media. They are the mediums or platforms of communication in Media.
