Production Meeting 3

In this production meeting I scouted for various locations where I could potentially film. This was done so that I could get a better idea of how the location would look in my film. This would also help save time when I went into the actual filming process. Here are the locations I looked at:

Dagenham Central Park

• Easiest to get to
• Not much of variation with the landscape
• Quite crowded sometimes, could get people in the background much

I won't be filming any scenes here unless I decide to add a quick shot.

Chase Nature Reserve

• Biggest area, lots of opportunity to go to areas where not much interference will happen
• Most variety with shots, lots of trees and a lake
• Not too hard to get to, close to Eastbrook School

I will be filming the majority, if not all, my film in this location.

Beam Valley Country Park

• Some interesting shots available with this area
• Quite hard and time consuming to get too
• Small area, very likely to get lots of people interfering in films.

I may film some of my film at this location if I get enough time to.

Production Meeting 2

For this production meeting  I thought about planning how I was going to proceed with making my music video. In this second meeting I researched other similar music videos to the one I had in mind of making, I did this so I could get inspiration on what I could transfer over to my music video. I had a rough idea about what direction I wanted to go in for my video but  needed a more specific idea about what would be effective and what would work in my music video. After viewing several videos I made a rough plan of shots I was going to film that were inspired by shots I have seen in other videos. 

In this meeting I also organised a plan for my next production meeting to go scout for locations in order to figure out the best locations to film at. I also began thinking of plans on what needed to be done for the magazine advert and the digipak.

 

A Model of the Media

The model of the media shows the way in which production and consumption of media texts allows for future text to be created, allowing the cycle to continue.

Institutions use this model as a way to work out which kind of media texts would be best for their audience. It tells the institutions what the audience would like and pay to see because there needs to be a financial transaction to sustain the model.

The first stage in the model of the media is the production, distribution, exhibition and marketing of the new media text from the institution. An institution is a large company within the media that produce media texts, some institutions include; the big six, BMG, Sky, the BBC and more.

A media text is the products put out by the institutions such as films, newspapers, video games, radio programmes, tv shows, music videos, websites and more.
