1. Initial Ideas My idea for my own single camera production is to make a selfie-styled documentary about a song/songs I've previously made and possibly record some further bits of a song that is already in the making. I could also include other hobbies such as my passion for radio presenting/producing and also performing too. I have some pre-recorded footage that I could include as my single camera production is a Documentary. I want there to be a range of key camera shots and angles, such as close-ups, mid-range, bird's eye and eye-level. Eye-level angle is going to be the key angle for my production as various scenes may contain people holding their phones to their face and talking about how they have contributed to the song/s. As I've got a 5 minute limit for my single camera production, I need to include key scenes as well as the angles I require them to be in. 95% of the footage is going to be filmed in college whilst the other 5% is going to be done at home as ...

Introduction Single camera production is the use of one camera within the media production, whether it be a music video, short film or even a movie. Single camera production also tends to use different camera angles and often requires a lot of editing after shooting. Single camera production is commonly associated with low budget films & film companies as they haven't got sufficient funding to purchase many high quality cameras for a film production. Advantages & Disadvantages Of Single Camera Production The advantages of a single camera production is that it makes the viewer feel like they are in the scene with one continuos shot. This encourages the viewer to feel more emotions than a film with more than one camera because the use of one camera establishes that the viewer is at the exact scene in real time. Another advantage is that it is cheap, this is good for low budget film producers as they don't have as much money to purchase more than one camera. Consideri...

Structure Of Briefs Introduction In this assignment i am going to be briefly discussing about the different types of briefs and their purposes within the media industry as well as how key people and key organisations work whilst been given a specific brief. Contractual Brief A contractual brief is a legal guaranteed form normally to do with, employment, sales or tenancy between the employer and the employee. It usually outlines the duties and guidelines the employee must follow whilst on the job. It is very vital that the employee follows the expectations on the brief as he/she has signed before being employed. If the employee does breach the rules and regulations on the contract they are likely to get sacked and/or worse case scenario taken to court for their specific actions. The positive thing about a contractual brief is that it sets goals and boundaries for the employee, for example, if the employee wants to be a school teacher there would be a code of conduct saying "y...

1. I think my audience's expectation would be something that catches their attention to the eye. They would expect to see a plot that encourages adrenaline which would spark the "action" to progress in the film. Commonly in an action films my audience would love to see popular stars name on the billing block before they watch the movie because it gives them a brief idea of how this movie could be like if they watch it. For example, they would base my movie on the way that actor has given a certain amount of energy to previous movies and it would encourage/discourage the audience to watch my film. In addition to that, I have included a lot of big stars to my movie so i have no doubt that my audience would be discouraged to watch my film. 2. The emotional response i would love to receive from my target audience is excitement because my movie will contain "ooh ahh" scenes and unrealistic events happening but at the same time i wouldn't want to encourage my vie...

I believe that my film poster strongly targets my audience because it includes pictures of a few of the stars which shows them looking straight directly at you. The background image especially with Megan Fox, i feel like this strongly targets the audience because it would encourage them to look more into the poster or even want to watch the film itself. The use of adding cars to the poster also targets my audience to give them an idea of what exactly this film is going to be about. The use of Kevin Spacey is very unique and also different to the rest of the characters on the poster because he is along the main characters but then again he isn't on their side since he is the villain. Comparing Kevin Spacey to other films such as Swimming With Sharks, Superman Returns & Horrible Bosses, he is always associated with the villain role and this could lead to the people viewing the poster knowing that Kevin Spacey is the villain in this film. I've decided to use a dark lighting as...
