TV, film, radio & audio, print and photo imaging.
TV
TV is similar in the
making of the production with film. Before making a production for TV you need
to think of a number of different things. One thing you need to think about is
how you are going to be able to fund it. The majority of TV programmes are
funded by advertisements, for example ITV. Another thing you need to think
about is what the show is going to be about, so cinematography is a huge thing
to think about before the production even begins. Story boarding, planning,
scripting are what you need to do in order to have a good quality show. In order to create a TV production, you will
also need to think about the target audience, who does it appeal to? Depending
on what the TV programme is about, depends on what time the show is on the
screens and when it is. For example, if the programme was a game show, then the
show would appeal to families so it would be placed on TV screens at prim time,
(between5 and 8). Obviously there are other important things in order to make a
TV production like, location, casting, equipment and the staff involved.
Film
To make a production
for film is very similar in how you would a production for a TV programme.
However creating a film would take a longer time to make. To make a good film
you will need a producer and a director.
Like a TV programme, you will also
need actors and actresses and if needed you will need to find extras. But,
before even filming, you need a location and permission to use it. This will
involve location agency’s, and for a film you will want to change locations if
there specific bits of film you want but sets are created in studios for them
to film and can be changed whenever you want. However this would take time so
the film company will need to watch closely as it costs a lot of money. This is
on major issue for film companies, for example, they could book a location for
3 hours and all the filming has to be done in the set time, otherwise it would
cost extra to use the facilities
Radio and Audio
Radio and audio is
very different in terms of production to Film and TV. Radio doesn’t need film
or cameras, the public just listen to the radio, and the majority of them do in
the car. Although, radio is on TV screens but there are no images, most radio
shows just have their logo on the TV, but some just have a blank screen. To
have a good radio show, the viewers need to know what there listening to. For
example the genre of music. XFM is radio station which has the genre of rock,
if pop music was to be put on the show, than the majority of viewers wouldn’t
be happy so it is important to stick to same genre. Timings are a key issue on
radio shows. The public usually listen to the radio when in the car and if the
radio present news like car traffic then it needs to be at the right time, also
with public news, if the news is out dated or not right, no one will be
interested in listening to show. Audio is essential in radio. You need sound
for a radio show, for the listeners to listen to it. The majority of radio
shows have songs and hit singles; however there are some that are set for an
older target audience. Radio 4 is a radio show set for people 40 and over as it
includes desert island disk and a lot of interviews about different things. Whereas
Radio 1 is set for a much younger audience, this includes the latest tracks and
interviews celebrities that have a number one single or song that’s about to be
release at the time.
Photo Imaging
Photo imaging are used in lots of different productions but mostly used in magazines, newspapers etc. With magazines and newspapers, you get time deadlines in which the pictures needed to be taken, edited and printed. This normally happens in season time for example, christmas, halloween, bonfire night, etc. All the
responsibility for this relies on the time management. Although a camera maybe the only thing need to capture a photo, there is a lot of equipment used for photo imaging such as: green screens, lighting, camera lenses and data storage. Without all this equipment, the photograph will lack these things. Green screens are used so when editing the picture later, the background can be removed or change to something different. The software in which to do this is called 'Adobe Photoshop' and this is crucial when editing a picture as lots of different things be changed on it.
Print
Print is similar to photo imaging, only print can consist of many different things where as photo imaging is just pictures. When printing something, it has to have an ap
propriate content depending on where it is going or what they are printing. Companies for newspapers or magazines have tight deadlines when printing. Wether it is weekly or fortnightly, the newspaper has to be done correctly, not rushed and to be a good standard to sell to the public. But in order to have good stories or pictures, a contact list is essential and needed when looking for people they need, like photographers. Advertisements are major in print. Every where you go, you will see an advertisement somewhere at some point, wether it be in a shop window or on a billboard. The target audience is important to think about when printing. This is because whatever is being printed has to appeal to that target audience. If it was an advertisement for a show, festival etc. The poster would need the correct information and some sort of age certificate.
INTERACTIVE
Interactive
media is when you talk or interact with someone or something. For example a
computer game like grand theft auto or an app that guides you through something
like learning a new language. Not all computer games are interactive, however consoles
like the PlayStation 3 or the XBOX, have games especially made for interaction.
