positive of factual programs:
eductate- a variety of points of view
infrom- issues that the public are unaware of
create empathy- urges the audience to help
encourage change- bring the issue to public



accuracy:
participants are real so the information is most likely to be accurate

participants claimed they have been baited into taking part believing it was it was a series about community spirit

biased:
biased approach to people on benefits negative

participants claimed they have been baited into taking part believing it was it was a series about community spirit

representation:

people are represented negatively in the eye of the world

they would argue they have been misrepresented

participants claimed they have been baited into taking part believing it was it was a series about community spirit

the effect that using "fake footage" as on a producer/channel/program is that is give the wrong representation possibly it smears there name and makes them look less genuine and they will recieve critism complaints on this the fact they have chosen to put it in a documentary when it is just there own representation it makes the . but its taken footage from a video game it shows that they are using propaganda to try and get the representation that they want the audience to have on Cornell curdaffi..  

accuracy: the inaccurate footage makes the channel look un trust  worthy and very unprofessional

bias: the miss selection of clips apparently used could lead people to believe that this is there own opinion which has a knock on effect to the channel

wanted to show him negatively and used whatever they could to do this

representation:

The 1988 attack is being misrepresented this could lead up to debates/conflict

it could be offensive to soldiers//service me/women


frozen planet

accuracy:
its not accurate what so ever as they label it as filming the polor bear in the natural habitat yet it is in a secluded environment in the zoo so it gives us the wrong representation of the polor bear in there natural well being environment

bias:


representation: it gives us the wrong representation of them possibly because we dont see them in there natural habitat

it would damage the representation of david Attenborough and the BBC to label them an not trustworthy which could lead to them losing public trust as viewers pay for the BBC

this was a one off show on channel 4 showing life is the UKIP party win the election and it gives a biased point of view towards the leader Nigel farages party.. it received 1656 complaints which makes it one of the most for a one off show the documentary was showing what life would be like if UKIP was in power it shows a division amongst races a mass riots and unemployment and a crashing economy..this shows it is biased on there own views that the UKIP party would as we call it crash and burn if they was able to get into power in the UK

the impact this has is that it gives them such a bad miss representation on his party and shows there views to his party and is biased as it isnt actually based on any past knowledge or experience so its there own views on UKIP it smears there reputation and only shows them in a negative light and shows them as a negative representation for the country

it also will make us believe channel 4 is a biased channels and has its own views on subjects/topics and is biased towards certain topics.. it shows them as unprofessional and not a very trustworthy reliable source of information this can be proved as the amount of complaints they received to be one of the most complaints for a one of is staggering and shows the amount of people that agree it was biased and only showing the UKIP party in a negative light//

Unit 33

Storyboard needs to be wrote under the pictures
Has to have arrows explain what happens and tell when sound comes in and out(example soundtrack of oasis starts when explosion at 30 secs)
realistic length of things.



We set out to make a ww2 stop motion film trailer for a film which we had made up using little green army men, we set out to make something serious and to make it look like a realistic film trailer. I think we were close but not realistic enough and could of polished the stop motion much more to make it look more realistic and serious, one of the best things about our stop-motion would have to be the set as we didn't make a plastic little thing we actually went out to a forest type area to make it again look more realistic. One of the weakest bits in our stop-motion probably had to be the figures which we used as they were very cheap flimsy things and didn't really look good or real, the target audience for the stop-motion were teens to young adults as it fits in the stereotype of men being all about violence and war and enjoying all the stuff makes you a proper man etc .... i think this maybe would be achieved in some cases but in others would not as the little toys make attract younger audiences to the trailer which is not who it is meant to be for. In the stop-motion lots of different sounds were used as from soundtracks and many different gun and explosion sound effects were used again to make it more realistic looking and sounding, the backing track was defiantly the most successful part of the stop motion as it gave it a great atmosphere of being a real movie trailer

Screenshots of parts which show good examples of set and chose and bed examples of figures which look realistic.

This shows a good example of how the figures we used did not look that realistic and took effect away from it.

This again shows the bad figure choice but also shows how good the terain looked and how much more realism.

Finally this screen shot shows how good using a real background and not using something made and how much of an effect it can have on the whole stop motion


My stop motion is very similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuIqIvyJrgo this particular as it uses small figures which look abit more realistic than ours but still takes a lot of the realism away from the srop-motion, another thing which is different from mine is the set which is used. You can clearly see that the set is man made and again takes away from the realism aspect of the stop-motion, it is obvious with these two stop motions is that it is very difficult to make small toy soldiers look realistic in a stopmotion without movable limbs, and it also shows that using a natural set outside and not making one looks much better than making something out of cardboard and paper etc ...

Digital filming is the the capturing of images, this is different to the historical norm of film stock .
Digital footage is mainly stored on hard drives and memory cards this makes it much more portable and easier to move about.
Digital capture is mainly used on video tapes, hard disks and flash memory cards. Digital cameras record digital footage as it is the main way to record for that type of camera, since 2010 most new movies have used digital and have also been distributed digitally a-swell.


Recording tv now has become a very popular thing with people wanting it more on demand and ready to watch whenever they want this has invoked big tv providers such as sky, virgin , bt and free-view hd all offering to let you record tv shows and watch them whenever. This causes the programme to be in a particular section in the tv box saved on a hard drive.

HD is becoming much more common in modern society and is taking over everything which is SD but is this a good thing? some people cant even tell the difference from HD to SD so is it really worth the extra money. The main thing which is different from SD to HD is the amount of pixels in the image http://dmediamom.com/2013/08/09/hd-vs-sd-is-it-worth-paying-extra-for-hd-digital-videos/ this link gives lots of good points on both sides saying do old films even look different from the original and do you even want to see particular things in HD anyway. It all depends on personal opinion obviously HD puts out a clearer and better image but some people just prefer SD.
