Rule of third and framing Photography
The rule of third is an imaginary grid drawn across an image to break down into nine equal squares. It works mainly fron the natural tendency of the human eye to be strongly focused on certain areas of an image. Whereas Framing is framing within a fram and it concentrates the viewers attention to a specific part of the image. It like look through different frames just to be able to see the image your eye is focused on. It also add depths and more interest to the framed image.

Fast shutter
Fast shutter speed is when the exposure time is quite rapidly because of this the duration of the amount of light reaching the image sensor is quite low. To accomplish the images below, I set the shutter speed to 1/250 and the ISO at 800 and with second the image was captured. I had to take multiple shots until I captured the perfect image. Fast shutter speed is like freezing an image. It captures things that the human eye cannot see, like the tiny little particles of water or water droplets and son forth.

Insert analysis
The insert in regards to the show that we worked on was based around fashion and
its approach on people in daily life. We worked on pre production work, which
involved a brainstorm of its context. Which led to us making a questionaire for
people to answer, so we could draw up data as to if people would be interested
in watching a fashion related insert or not. With the feedback we recieved vast
majority of said they would, with a high percentage agreeing it allowed us to
then go on and start to progress the insert.
I suggested we do a street fashion video, as it would be relatable to the viewers and have a relevance as its raw content. The idea stopping shoppers and asking them question is/was the aim of this which was a success because we did just that. As a group we came up with the questions that we would, we decided to do questions that would cater all people and would keep the viewers engaged.
I volunteerd to be presenter so I was asking the people questions but I tried not to be too in the video as I was feeling camera shy. I wrote the questionaire analysis, mentioned how beneficial it was to the group, why we did it and the process of it.
We did exceed the time limit by a few seconds but it managed to fit well into the running order so it was not much of an issue. Although we had difficulty getting the video on to the tricaster as it was not the right fit of format for its campatibility, so the editor re exported the video and it then worked on the tricaster.
When in viewing, the outcome of our insert visually was very artisitic in its editing skill and the product overall suceeded in well delivery of content. The insert contained all the right substanced we set out in the pre production.
As a group we worked very well together, we braught different qualities to the production which we worked off. It was refreshing to work with members that were willing to put everything in to making this a sucess. We were organised, persistant and got on exceptionaly well. Our insert was a success.

TST Evaluation
TST which stands for The Student Takeover is a magazine show that the class as a group created using Live recording and pre-recorded items. The main process for making a magazine show is pre-production. This is the most important stage because the Producer, PA, Director, Presenters and script writers are aware of what they are meant to do when filming the actually show.
The task was to work as a group and creates a magazine show that accumulates for 30 minutes including all the pre-recorded inserts. First and foremost we had to elect a Producer who we thought would be reliable and calm. The producer then handed out roles to the other members of the group, and together we all voted on a suitable programme title for the magazine show. After all the cast and crew were hired out, we then started the Pre-production planning. So a team of script writers, including the presenters, producer, director and all the heads work together on a script, a running order and other vital paperwork for the show. The producer then had to prepare a call sheet for everyone.
The pre-production is the most important aspect of creating a show, without it there would be no show or it would have ended up a big destruction. This is where my role played a big part. My role for TST was Set Design. I was in charge of building and decorating the set in the studio. I had to draw up a sketch of how the studio will look like for camera, and then passed it on to the producer to oversee my final creation. As a part of my role I was responsible for finding out all the props, properties and material needed to construct the set. Also I had to take into mind the health and safety regarding all the cast and crew members. To accomplish this, I made sure that all the props and furniture do not interfere with the movement of the cast and crew members.
Overall I think I did my role exceedingly because I was organized, determined and I did not go beyond what my job description was or my role for that matter. Also the fact that I came up with a design for the set illustrates that I suited my role quite brilliantly. The only downside to my role was that I did not take full control at all times. I would sit back while others change the concept I had without putting up a fight. For example, the stage for the Music performance. I had an original design for it which was overseen by the producer and near to when the Music act was about to perform, one of my team member decided to exceed their role and changed the staging and I just stood there and did/said nothing. So taking more control and not allowing others to take over my role is definitely something I would need to work on, if say I should ever be Set Designer again.
TST is a magazine show aimed at the students in Full time Education at CWC. The content of the show was mainly to inform, educate and entertain our target audience. To do so the show included information about University and whether or not it's essential, News reviews, Film reviews etc. It had humour and a comedy like style.
As the show was being made during Halloween season, we decided a Halloween theme would be suitable for the show. Personally I think the show meet its aim in term of its target audience and its contents because it included all the aspects it was aiming for.
The process of making the magazine show had its ups and downs, but in the end we all came together and got it done. We were all certainly organized and determined, seen as we made all the necessary preparation needed for the show to run. The scripts were made, the set was designed, and the inserts were made and so on forth.
The only downside to the show and the process of making it was that individuals were exceeding their roles. Most individuals were taking over the role of the producer even though they were assigned their own roles. Individuals were not taking full control over their roles. They were allowing others to change their idea. Also the lateness of majority of the production team was appalling because people had to be waiting for individuals to get here before anything could start, as most of the late comers were assigned important roles. All this caused heated arguments a couple of times because individuals were frustrated and felt left out at times and also because a few individuals take constructive critism very personally. To be honest working as a group was a complete disaster because they are certain individuals that you just cannot have a civil conversation with.
The most vital part of working together as a group is COMMUNICATION. And we did not have that at all. Most individuals were unsure about certain certain things that were happening because of the lack of communication between everyone.
Overall I think the show went terrible considering all the effort we put into the pre-production. Most of the pre-recorded items did not work. Presenters were unsure about which camera they were meant to look into and so on forth. If we were to get the opportunity to do it all over, as a group we would need to communicate with each other and keep everyone in the loop. Avoid conflicts and not taking everything personally. Turn up on time, so we can have more time preparing for the magazine show and not having individual taking over the roles of others. If we accomplish these things, we will certainly create a better magazine show.

Insert Evaluation
As apart of TST magazine show i was involved in two of the inserts: Fasion voxpox and the Zombie attack . My role in the fashion voxpox was to do the pre-production paper work to ensure that the camera operator and the presenters knew exactly what they were meant to do.
The whole purpose of pre-production is preparing all the elements involved in creating a film or anything of that matter. Pre- production is a vital part of the filming because it helps the cast and crew understand get into their role. Although recording the actually footages is very much important, what is even more important is planing, structuring and breaking down the script into managable chunks for the presenters. During this process, the cast are hired, the producer, directors, presenters and script writers team up and go through the script, the set designer starts building, sound and lightning are set up and so on forth.
Fashion voxpox is an insert introducing the latest fashion trending throughout London. With the amazing Aminah hitting Oxford and carnaby street in search for the next big thing. Interviewing random people on the streets about their thought on what is trending and what should make a fashion comeback. It focuses mainly around fashion and the relevant trends and gaining in depth knowledge about what separates street fashion from catwalk.
Fashion is such a wide area to look at, so it was exciting to know more in depth about it. It is one of the biggest topic around the world because everyone is fascinated by the different role models and fashion trends that are around these days. It was truly an interesting topic to be involved in because I for one leaned alot more about fashion and how fascinating it is to create a look. Also, i got to get others opinion on fashion as well as my own.
The only downside to the insert is that it went over the specific timing limit recorded in the brief. As in the brief it stated that the inserst should be no more than 2 minutes long and our insert was 2:50 minutes.But as most there was a few technical difficulties with most of the inserts , I guess it was okay.
My other role which was acting in the 'Zombie Attack' was exciting, interesting and breath taking. It was interesting because I got to dress up in make up, with blood dripping down my face and that for me was very exciting. Also knowing it was for my coursework pushed me into my role a lot more because I knew the consequences if I messed up. So, although there was a lot on excitment there, I knew I had to think about the bigger picture which is making sure I did my part as best as I could.
Overall, I think I fulfiled both my roles as I did exactly what was asked of me and The inserts were filmed and edited.

Tash 2: Photography
To achieve these images the ISO was 200 and the shutter speed was 1/50. The following images below are of moving subjects where i decided to set the camera to capture the images as blurr instead of taking it normally.
To achieve the frozen movement I panned along with the moving subject and keep the subject in complete focus. The faster the movement of the subject, the faster the shutter speed has to be.
To achieve the image below I used the same shutter speed and ISO as the other image, but to create this image I zoomed in at the same time I captured the image.

Magazine show idea
Programme proposal for magazine show
Name of magazine show- PGTV (Paddington Green TV)
Format of programme
4 Presenters- Preferably 2 Males and 2 females. The two main presenters who will be
engaging in conversation with the guest and giving film trailer reviews
must be humorous, entertaining and tend to flirt with each other to keep the
views in tune. The news reader must be able to read without making
mistakes. The presenter reviewing topics such as fashion, sports etc should
have a good knowledge about those aspects and, also should be able
to relate to them as well.
Introduction- The two main presenters will brief the audience on what will be coming
up throughout the shows and the time a certain topic will be on and also who
will be appearing on the show and when. This should be a maximum of 5 minutes.
What will be in the magazine show?
The magazine show will consist of the following topics;
·
News reviews including; sports highlights, weather forecast (which will
be like a comedy style weather report to entertain the target audience),
newspaper highlights and so on forth.
·
Fashion review- What's trending. As it is winter many college student
struggle with what to wear, so this will help them with their decision.
·
University fees and loans go into depth about UCAS- This will
particularly be aimed at 2nd year or students that are almost at the stage of
deciding on their top 5 universities and those who will be going to university
later on.
·
Reviewing film trailers- looking at the latest films with the highest
ratings and giving opinions and finding out information about these films. Finding
out if a certain film is worth going to see at the cinema.
·
Vacations spots- Christmas is near and most of us are dreading where we
will spend our Christmas. The presenter (s) will brief the audience on good
vacation spots for the Christmas. Also where to go during half term and so on
forth.
·
Discussing the latest music video
·
And finally the guest- Someone who has a talent and want to share it
with the public
Shooting style:
Preferably three cameras: home camera- This is the one the presenters
will looking in at all times
Camera 2 is one the guest and a camera 3- records the whole thing.
I will use tripods to get a more professional looking result and also to
have stable shots without any movements. A moving tripod to move alongside the
action in order to keep up with everything the presenters does.
Different camera angles, sizes and movements: Full shot when
introducing the presenters and when introducing guest. Medium shot when
presenters are interviewing guest. Close up on facial expressions. Zoom into
television when reviewing the news, on newspaper when reviewing newspaper
headlines and so on forth. Establishing shot when changing location. Pan down
on an outfit when reviewing fashion.
Setting/ staging
The staging will be similar to that of the Wendy Williams show, with a
sofa, center table set with water/ coffee for the guest and presenters. This is
to make the set feel welcoming. Homely and comfortable for both the guest and
the presenters. Big screen television in the back for the reviews.
The reviews and the interviews will be live on the sofa in the studio
and the others will be on location and also be put in as pre-recorded inserts.
For example, the comedy style weather report will be pre-recorded outside and
added in later.
Target Audience:
The target audience for the
magazine show is 16-20+ students of CWC that are in full time education. This
is because the topics that will be included in this magazine show will be of
more interest for that

Beautiful Stranger
(Blair and Karren are sitting opposite each other at the
dinner table, with Blair on Andrews left and Karren on his right)
(Blair makes no eye contact with Andrew what so ever, as
this may give away anything to Karren about Andrew and Blairs relationship)
Blair: (looks up at Karren) this dinner is lovely.
Karren: (looks up to Blair directly in the eyes) Thank you.
Andrew: so what is it that your husband does? (asks Blair as
cluelessly)
Blair: He’s a private investigator.
Karren: That’s handy, very hand (says this slowly as she
objectifies Blair)
Blair: One might think so (laughs)
Andrew: (scoffs) And what is it that you do?
Blair: I’m a waitress (whilst cutting her food which she
slowly puts in her mouth)
Andrew: That’s all most like what my wife does but you get
paid and she does it for free(laughs as hes made a joke about her job being
similiar to his wifes-may offend)
Andrew: Do you and your husband have any children?
Blair: No, not yet.
Karren: Me and my husband have been trying to have children
for a very long time now, when it happens it’ll happen (seems saddened by this,
looks at Andrew and places her hand on his and looks down)
Andrew: Not now woman!
(Karren gives an awkward smile, pushing away from Andew)
Karren: (indirectly) are you anjoying this Blair?
Blair: (looks confused as to what Karren is implying) umm,
the dinner? Yes like I said before, it is lovely.
Andrew: stop coming on so stro-o-o-o-ng....(chokes and
callopses)
(Both Karren and Blair step out of their seats to side with
Anderew)
Karren: (screeches) Oh sweet lord! What have I done.... YOU!
(points at Karren, her voice slowly starts to raise up) that plate was meant
for YOU! I put the poison in there for YOU! And now my husband is dead because
of YOU! You commited adultrey with my husband and thought I didn’t know? Hmm? I
befriended you, YOU witch, to put you straight. And now(chokes up) I am left a
widow because of YOU! That should of have been you dead not him!
(looks away at the table, sees the knife in sight, grabs it
in an instant, raises her arm up, goes in to stab Blair)
(Shadow projects this and Blair falls to the floor)
(A sense of relief, Karren smiles to herself, when there is
a sudden knock on the door)
Karren: Who is it? (worried and tense, Karren begins to
panic)
Bill: It’s me, Bill, open up I have something to tell you.

Bill: I’m a boat salesman ma’am
Karren: Oh I see, would you like to come in?

directed by Karren. She initiates a hand signal at the sofa, where he sits
down.)

walks from the living room to the kitchen)

everything in the room, closely observing the picture frames that lye so
effortlessly on the shelf)
Karren: Ah why thank you Mr! I’m always telling Andrew: my
husband, get this done, get that done. Always trying to have my home to
perfection (says this happily with a vague smile on her face, re entering the
room)
Bill: And does he?
Karren: (laughs) you can see that for yourself
(They both smile at each other for a moment because personally
the know that individually, they have not laughed in a very long time)

like this, I do apologise. I must go
Karren: but you didn’t even show me any boats yet? (laughs
nervously)
Bill: I’ll come back… yes next Thursday will you be home?
Karren: indeed I will, nothing much round here to do for a
housewife
Bill: then I shall see you on Thursday
(Bill opens the door but looks back at Karren and gives her
a gracious smile)
Bill: goodbye
Karren: goodbye!
(End scene)
Survey Analysis
Majority of the people who took my survey are 16-18 years old, so they may not heave been bothered by it or they don't really follow media coverages. It goes to show that young adults aren't really bothered by what happens in the media or what news paper shut down. It is of no interest to them, which to me is very sad.

Film Noir Evaluation
My role in the Film Noir was quite fascinating, yet challenging. I played one of the main character (karren) Karren is the Femme Fatale, who befriended her husband's lover in order to poison her, but all was not according to plan when her husband turned up and drank the poison instead. I found it very difficult to get into the mindset of the character in which i was playing when we first started filming, in fact it took me uptil nearly the end of the dead line to actually grasped unto my role. This and adding to the fact that most of the pre production planning for the Film Noir was unfinshed and the script had to be changed quite oftenly because it was not up to the standard of a Film Noir.
The whole purpose of Pre- Production is preparing all the elements involved in making the Film Noir or anything film, series etc for that matter. It is the planning stage of the shootings, breaking down the swcript into small chunks so that the actors, producers etc knows what they are meant to do. Having not done most of the Pre- Production it was very difficult to shoot the film noir because on the day of filming the actors/ actresses had to be practicing the script, while the director thought of how to shoot the scenes, what camera angles to use and so on forth. This would not have been a problem if the storyboard were done or the shotlist and so on forth. One could argue that we were too exciting about filming the scenes that we forgot to prepare all the vital things needed to make the Film Noir.
Because Film Noirs are in black and white. The lighting is the key to it all because you want to be able to see the characters and make shadows etc. Memicking natural sunlight is a hard task, and this is what we had to do for the table scene. The lighting technician found it very difficult to set up the lights in the right positions ensuring that it is not too bright or dull on camera; the actors weren't to bright or dull, there weren't no reflections etc. The lighting technician and the camera operator had to work side by side to make the Film Noir look and sound professional.
My team mates and my Lecturer were very helpful because they helped me get into the mindset of my character seen as it was difficult, not that i didn't know what to do. I felt burdened because of the ending of the script. I felt it all rested on my shoulders like if i messed it up then we'd fail the task. Although there were downfalls in making the Film Noir we managed to create a very humorous and creative piece if work. Everyone understood exactly what was happening in the scence. They were able to read between the lines and predict the aftermath.
Overall, I had fun doing this project because i was able to show off my creative side on camera and I really enjoyed making the Film Noir. In future, the Pre- production will be the number one priority because it is very important to plan in order for a film to come out to the standard of both the Director and the Producer

Rupert Murdoch
Dear Gavin Barwell,
This email is in regards to Rupert Mordoch's bid to take over BSkyB. Cosidering the recent phone hacking scandal, I personally think it would be a huge mistake if he should succeed in this bid. Turning BSkyB over to him would spread a sense of propaganda throughout the media. The media should be for everyone and not just for one person, giving it to one person can cause a web of vast conspiracy.
Rupert Murdoch has already proven to the public that he is not fit to run a news corporation because of the recent phone hacking scandal. News of the world has disappointed us after journalists breached the Data Protection Act and invaded the privacy of the many well know celebrities, the Monarchy and The Dowler Family. This proved that they will do anything, no matter the consequences to get the story they're after.
In the recent Phone Hacking scandal, it was brought to our attention that there has been a cover up within the media as journalists would not admit or denied hacking into phones for private information to help with their story. News of the world hired many privater investigator to hack into the voicemail of the missing school girl Millie Dowler and listened to the voicemails of the Dowler family, and even deleted some evidence that could have been useful to the police. They gave the family false hope in believing their daughter was still alive, though she was already dead months earlier.
Another example of how much of a bad reputation he has is the Fox News in America. Fox new is a disgrace to the media. They are biased and they edit their stories and interviews if they are too militant as in a cause of propaganda.
Yours Sincerely,
Tashayna.

Pioneer of Editing- Martin Scorsese
 |
| Martin Scorses was born in Little Italy, New York in 1942. He began making filns in the 1960s and has since produced some of the most famous films in cinema history. He was inspired by his film professor Haig P Managian back when he was studying in University. |
 |
| His line of work addresses themes such as the Italian American culture, Roman Catholic Concepts of guilt and redemption etc. Growing up in Little Italy New York he was exposed to alot of gang crimes, drugs, violence etc which is reflected throughout his films. |
 |
| He is well none for his harsh, often violent depictions of American culture. He produced/ directed famous films such as the iconic "Taxi Driver" to Academy Award Winner "The Departed" and so on forth. Techniques He begins his films with segments taken from the middle or the end of the story. He frequently uses slow motion photograph to create an experince clen cut from the audience. He used pur cinema in his films in order to bring the audience closer to what is happening in thse story. For example, In Ragging bull, Cascino and Goodfellas, Scorsese used pure cinema through photographs, Jump cuts etc to put the audince in the mindset of the characters at hand. He also uses MOS sequence sets to particular music or voiuce over, ofthen involving aggressive camera movements and/or rapid editing technigues. He uses these techniques not to show off how good of a genius director he is, but for the audience to emphasize with characters they usually wouldn't dare have sympathy for.  Martin Scorsese brought a new way of directing to life, much like Speilberg, he was so much different, he went against the original directing skills, instead he came up with other ways of directing. He revolutionized film directing giving it an inspiration for all. Because of this he was able to rise throught the ranks very quickly. |
I have chosen to analyze Goodfellas. In "Goodfellas" Pure Cinema is used to show the mobsters mind at work. This happens say about 3/4th of the way throughout the film. James Conway ( played by Robert De Niro) Is a heartless mobster who is being hassled by Morris Kessler, the man who planned the recent robbery at the airport for Conway. As Kessler is ready to leave the bar the camera cut to a mid shot of Conway at the counter, just then the song "sunshime of your love" began to play off camera. We then watch the shot reverse shot pushes in as Conway's eyes looks from Kessler to his glass, to the man sitting beside him and then right back to Kessler. Conway cracked a smile then it disappeared as he was about to take a puff of his cigarette. From his eyes associated with the camera's close up illustrates that he his lost in his thoughts. In just one shot the audience could tell that he has no intention in paying Kessler, instead he will kill Kessler and take the money for himself.
