For this Task I worked with Danniella Cooper and Matthew Taylor. I wrote the parts about the Kigali liabilities and responsibilities of a business owner and the the different legal statuses of Small businesses. My part of the article was about three pages long,
The screen shot above is about the different legal statuses that a small business could have. It also starts to show the legal aspects of running of a small business which include heath and safety, fire safety regulations
and the screen shot below covers the rest of the Legal aspects part of the article. which includes legal liability and possible insurance for small businesses.
The screenshot above covers Planning Permission, contracts, Duties and responsibilities, and the UK's Employment law regarding small business
this screenshot tells is of the regulatory bodies of businesses and about any sources of advice that a small business could and would need.
The feedback we received for all three films was all positive, Educating Granddad won the College's equality and diversity competition the reason why it won is because we were the only one who used filmmaking to get our point across the rest of the participants just created posters. The Anti smoking film 'Smoking Kills' was nominated in the Cut Films National Anti Smoking Competition, and our Democracy video about voting in the latest general election was approved of by the current Labour MP for Stockton South, Dr Paul Logan. The reason he liked it so much is because it actively told young people not to waste their votes.
I was production manager of a documentary about my life and how I have autism and how it affects my interactions with other people, it was a recut of a documentary I had previously done for an assignment,
The final products were very good as we won an award for 'Educating Granddad' and 'Smoking Kills' was nominated for the Cut Films National Anti Smoking Competition. And the Democracy film 'Vote' was approved of by the Local MP, Dr Paul Williams.
If I were to do this again I would have had more participation in the production of the other three videos as with two of them it was a frankly pathetic level of participation and on the third. There was no participation what so ever in regard to the production but on mine I would have had asked more questions for the interviews and tried to be more in-depth with both questions and answers in order to get a more comprehensive view of how I live my life and how it is different from everyone else's
Task 1- Uses of Interactive media Interactive media has many functions. it's primary method are videos. other forms include photos, sound bites, and gifs. the applications for digital videos include short films which are films but are roughly 10 to 30 minutes long maximum, they could be promotional material such as adverts on Television or on the internet about new hygiene product or a political campaign and trailers for new video games, film trailers their main point is to entice new audiences to go and see it by showing the viewers exciting /enticing shots that would draw them in, in between the actual game play of video games there are videos called cut scenes they are usually created through animated /motion capture or though not very often and usually it is seen with movie tie-in-games. There are many platforms interactive media can be shown through. A person could use Emails to send a video to another as long as the video is a certain size however if you wanted to send a larger video file, the file would need to be compressed, there are numerous websites that play videos on the internet some of the most notable websites include YouTube, Daily Motion, and Vide Me. In regards to mobile devices they can be used to view or record videos which will inevitably released on to social media. When DVD's were first released back in the early 2000's the buyer could either purchase the single disk release which just came with the movie or the double disk release which featured the Behind the scenes featurettes such as costuming, stunts which showed the production processes of making the completed film.
When files are too large to email or if you want to make it easier to upload One would need to compress the file in order to make the transference quicker. There are two types of compression Lossy and Lossless, Lossy compression is where the quality of the received video is lesser then when it was sent. when the file is compressed what happens is that partial data discarding and inexact approximations because of how the data is encoded. Lossless compression is where it remains the same level of quality and exact approximations of the data encoding from when it was sent.
The reason there is different file formats is because different platforms will only accept a certain number of formats, for example YouTube allows .MP4, .AVI, etc. When it comes to what file format is better it depends on which platform the video is shown on for example YouTube the best file format in my opinion .MP4 but on daily motion it could that .AVI is the best format.
The Difference between streaming and downloading is that when you stream something you need a decent broadband/ Wi-Fi connection in order to watch the video's content where as with Downloading you can watch the video when ever but there is the possibility that when it was downloaded the file compression could have been a lossy compression.
As stated before different file formats work better for different platforms. also depends on the preferences of the Platform's developer and how they designed the programs that run the file.
File size is a matter of the platform as well because if a video is sent via email that it would need to be compressed and there is good chance the file's quality would be poor
The mutual respect and tolerance video was filmed at 5 Bathgate Terrace, Hartlepool the filming date was January 31st
The project manager for this video was Taylor Henderson and the script was written by Kane Smith and Chloe Handley.
The video was originally going to be a comedy sketch but after a brainstorming it was changed after it was realised how some jokes could be taken the wrong way. the filming location was either going to be Adam Mclean's home or Ben Siddle's it was decided to that Adam's home was to be used due to it being more accessible then Ben's.
There were several problems that arose in Pre-production as the filming date came closer. because one of actress had to drop due to mock-exam.so they had to drop out so we had to find another actress who fit the bill of multiple ethnicity. another problem that arose regarding location and whether or not we were able to gain access to the location before 11 o'clock in the morning. which we were.
The crew call was for 10 AM 31/01/17 once all of the crew, actors and equipment had gathered they went to the location.
Cast:
Andrew Bramfitt as Granddad
Diannne Garland as Mum
Ellie Garland as Sarah
Dylan Ward as Jacob
Beatrice Andrea as Girlfriend
The filming crew was:
Ben Siddle as Boom Operator
Matty Dickens as DOP
Taylor Henderson as Director
Jess Bramfitt as Production Manager.
Shawna Cane as Make-up
As stated previously I worked as research about ethical considerations for pre-production on the shoot
The completed video was released 6th,February 2017 on YouTube.
Anti Smoking
the Anti-smoking video filmed at the Dubliners Pub, Bridge Street, Thornaby, Stockton-On-Tees. The filming date was 3rd April 2017.
The filming crew was:
Matty Dickens - Director
Jess Bramfitt - assistant director
Ben Siddle - Camera Operator
Chloe Handley - Production manager
Rhys Collins - Boom Operator
The cast was:
Sol Talbi as smoker
Shannon Milligan
Kyra Robinson
I was supposed to be Runner but since it was a small filming shoot I wasn't needed on set.
the crew call was 9:30 and filming started at 10:30. There was a problem with the interior shots regarding the lighting because the actors were sat next to a window. so the sun light was streaming through the window, apparently Matty propped his jacket in the window to stop some of the light coming through.
The completed film was entered into the Cut Films National Anti Smoking Competition for which it was nominated.
The completed film was released on YouTube on May 16th 2017
A fourth Project is a recut of my documentary from a previous assignment, the content of the documentary is about my autism and how it has affected my life and my interactions with others. The people who I spoke with and interviewed was the SEN manager at my old secondary school All Saints Academy, Mrs Liz Gaughn. I had a group discussion with my current college class, and my parents, I was the one who arranged the interviews especially the one with Mrs Gaughn as the interview had to be on a Friday evening after the school day had concluded, the group discussion happened when we had every member of the group present. the interview with parents was filmed during the winter holidays.
The original cut of the documentary was released on January 12th, 2017, despite the fact that the factual part of it ended at around the 15 minute mark the video itself was 22 minutes long. Once this as noted I made the necessary changes to the video so it was 15 minutes but the editing of the video was slightly loose and needed tightening
I started planning my PMP by coming up with several
different ideas. My original idea was to film a lightsaber fight in the dunes
of either Redcar or Hartlepool beeches. The fight would feature the protagonist
mainly running from the antagonist as they ran and fought through the dunes.
Another idea I had were to make mock movie trailers of
specific genre’s which parodied all the tropes of the specific genre’s they
were about, for example if it were an action movie there would be explosion,
guns, corny one liners, terribly developed romances.
My third idea was to make a music video but I was
indecisive of what song to make a music video for. I narrowed it down to two
songs, Kiss from a Rose by Seal or “Never Gonna Give you Up” by Rick Astley.
The idea I decided on was to make a new music video for
“Never Gonna Give you Up”, the story for this new video was based on a slightly
different take on the lyrics of the song, where the singer is stalking a girl after they
bump into each other. The story is slightly inspired by the music videos for
Robbie Williams “Candy” and Maroon 5’s “Misery”. Every time that “Rick” tried
to woo the female character she would repeatedly say no to his advances but he
would keep trying until the female character got progressively violent hitting
him before she finally unveiled a restraining order.
However when I was making the Pitch to the rest of the film
students and the make-up students I was convinced to alter the story slightly
so that instead of “Rick” being progressively more injured by the female
character instead every time he would try to speak with her he would injure
himself in his excitement.
Two of the Make-up students volunteered to work on my film
Abbey Victoria Waugh and Sophie Brignall. I met with them individually to
discuss the notes and the research they had performed into the fashion styles
from the 1980’s
Once I had selected my idea I had to research other songs
from 1980’s in order to understand the codes and conventions of music videos
from that time period including Rick Astley’s other songs. Then I decided to
form a production crew. The members I chose were Matty Dickens as Director of
photography, Jess Bramfitt as Script Supervisor, Matthew Taylor as Assistant
Director with myself as the Director.
Once I had performed all the research and formed a
production crew I then started to scout for actors, I looked through the acting
students. I decided to use Connor Honeyman and Beatrice Andrea But I did
consider using Dylan Rudd, once I had chosen the actors I contacted them to see
if they were interested. Which there were because they came into 224, Matthew
and I told them about the premise for the film and the characters, and they
were willing to take part in the film.
The day of filming was to be the Fourth of April 2017; the
morning of that day was slightly hectic as I had misplaced a prop and there
were several other problems as well but thanks to the rest of my crew I was
able to calm down and get everything in order. We shot three scenes and a voice
over. The first scene that was shot was where “Rick” (Connor) the male
character sees “Betty” (Beatrice) the female character chatting with her friend
when someone gives Betty his number but she tears it up and in his excitement
Rick smacks his face off a metal beam when he looks up he sees that Betty and
her friend has left. The second scene we shot was where Rick was pinning up a
“Board of Love” but he falls off of the chair he was standing on and breaks his
arm.
The third and final scene we filmed that day was the scene
when Rick and Betty first bumped into each other.
The second day of filming it was mainly doing pick-ups from
the first day of filming such as showing Rick walking away after he first
bumped into Betty and the scene when he fell off of the chair he is shown in
pain clutching his arm. Then we filmed the second scene of the video when Rick
was spying on Betty and another one of her friends with binoculars but when he
is spotted he runs away but trips up because he was still holding the
binoculars up to his face, Gaining a bruise on his face.
The third day of filming we filmed the last two scenes of
the video where Rick is in a wheel chair but when he sees Betty walking nearby
he stands up forgetting the cast on his leg so he falls over on to a crash mat
borrowed from the dance studio. The second scene shot that day was in the
upstairs beauty parlour in SRC 2 the reason for filming in there is because it
resembles a hospital room this was the last scene of the film.
After much back and forth about what time and day the
actors and crew were available to film, I was finally able to pin down a date
it was during the May half term holiday on the second of June, unfortunately
two members of my crew were unavailable due to illness and family commitments
so I had to ask Chloe Handley to come in. the first scene we shot was when Rick
after seeing Betty drop a scarf while crossing the road goes to pick up the
dropped scarf but he fails to notice the oncoming car and then he gets hit by
said car breaking his leg the last scene we shot of the video was a pick up
from the previous filming day showing betty walking into SRC 2 from Rick’s
point of view.
We wrapped at five Pm on the dot. And now it was just a
matter of completing the editing process.
I completed the editing process on the 12th June
with the help of Taylor Henderson, Matty Dickens, and Kelly Fairhurst.
To conclude I think that this project was a tremendous
success and that the final edit of the completed video is my best editing yet I
believe.
Thank for reading this report and I hope you enjoy the
completed video.
There were three videos made for social action, the topic of the first one was about the "Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs, the second one was about democracy regarding the most recent snap general election which was about the right to vote. and the third while not offered in the initial list was about convincing people not to smoke
I performed research for the mutual respect and tolerance regarding the ethical considerations of the video.
From 1920 - now, presentation techniques have changed significantly, now we have chat shows like the Jonathan Ross show on the BBC or ITV, and Ant and Dec making celebrities eating kangaroo testicles live on Television where as before and on several other programs such as the news they tend to be more serious.
Pathe News:
Pathe News started in 1910 and operated for sixty years discontinuing in 1970. They primarily produced documentaries and newsreels. the newsreels were shown in cinema and were silent until 1928. Originally they were a duration of 4 minutes and were released biweekly. These clips were filmed from a single angle/position and they would show the audience the full clip where as now there would be commentary and cutaways to the studios. In-between the clips
Notable news reels that Pathe had captured include The fatal parachute jump from the top of the Eiffel tower by Franz Reichelt.
As you can see from the clip Pathe had slowly started to including more panning shots and more cutaways in their newsreels
During the first World War the cinema released newsreels were known as Pathe Animated Gazettes and this was the first time that the newspapers had received major competition. after the war had concluded Pathe released longer and more comprehensive newsreels called cinemazines.
In 1927 Pathe sold the British branch to the now dissolved company First National. By 1930 Pathe' started to include a wide range of coverage for example sports, women's issues and entertainment in programmes such as 'The Pathetone Weekly', and 'Pathe' Pictorial'. Three years later Pathe' gained another new owner The Associated British Picture Corporation, 25 years after this Warner Bros acquired the company and it became known as Warner-Pathe'. Pathe' stopped producing newsreels in 1970 due it not being able to compete with Television but it took another ten years for the French Pathe' to cease producing newsreels. During the newsreels run notable narrators were Bob Danvers-Walker, Andre Baruch, and Clem McCarthy.
Pathe was then sold to several more owner including The Cannon Film Group who spilt the company into the newsreels division from the it's Feature Film division. Pathe's feature Film Division is currently under the ownership of Studio Canal. in 2009 Pathe re-launched in it's own right and now it's entire archive is on YouTube for the whole world to see once more.
BBC News:
The BBC was first formed in 1922 however in order to avoid competition several newspapers publishers were able to persuade the Government to ban the BBC from broadcasting News until after 7PM. 12 years later the BBC was able to gain the rights to broadcast on it's own however it could not broadcast before 6pm until World War 2
When BBC News began televising they maintained the serious professionalism that came from it's Radio days. and they still remain professional however the morning news on BBC 1 have a sense of rapport for example the presenters have developed sense of camaraderie, they are able to joke about on occasion without loosing that professionalism however mistakes still happen.
No matter the mistakes the News readers still carry on like nothing has happened.
Notable news readers include:
Angela Rippon-The first female news reader in 1975.
Kenneth Kendall - The first visible BBC News Reader in 1955
In 1958 a report proposed how it would be better that the televised News were to get it's own newsroom along with an editor of the day
On April 20th, 1964 along with the start of BBC 2's transmissions was a new news programme called Newsroom which four years later became the BBC's first news programme to be broadcast in colour. In 1969, BBC News moved from Alexandria palace to BBC Television Centre where the BBC still operates out of today once the refurbishments are complete in September 2017.
The evening of September 14th, 1970 saw the first broadcast of the Nine O'clock news
In the mid 1970's the BBC 2 news programme was renamed to News night it soon reverted to being called Newsday when the programme moved to an early evening slot
BBC Radio 1 launched a new news service on September tenth, 1973.
January 28th, was the launch of Newsnight on BBC2 unlike the one from the 1970's which was a simple news bulletin this was a 45 minute long programme.
By 1982 technology had became sufficiently advanced enough for reporter Bernard Hesketh to report coverage of the Falkland War this was the first time that the BBC filmed a conflict digitally instead of by film.
In the following January of 1983 the BBC launched it's first breakfast news Programme "Breakfast Time" the style of presenting was quite relaxed in comparison to the BBC's other news programmes of the time.
By 1987 the BBC decided to go under a slight rebranding for it's news programmes, so that each different programme had it's own unique opening sequence and accompanying music.
10 years after this 1997 the BBC Launched BBC News 24 to provide continuous and live coverage of news from across the UK and the Globe. the following year BBC Radio News after 66 years of operating out of broadcasting house. 1999 saw the biggest relaunch with all of the BBC News channels and programmes adopting a single common format.
With the start of the new millennium came with even more changes to the BBC, to start the 9 O'clock news was moved to 10pm at night, the region based news programs lost five minute at the end of the programme. December 2003 BBC world and BBC News 24 introduced a new style of presentation which was slightly altered for the 50th anniversary of BBC television news
May 2006 bulletins received titles and set allowing breakfast to move back into the main studio for the first time since 1997.
from august 2012 to March 2013 all of the BBC operations moved from BBC Television centre to New Broadcasting house.
Newsround:
Newsround was a short news programme aimed towards children and early teens, Originally called John Craven's Newsround before his departure in 1989. The programme has run continuously since 1972, it was initially conceived as a short series mandated by the BBC's children department. over time the programme gradually developed it's own development team.
As you can see the presentation of the video is slightly more mature then what it is now like the news programmes for the older audiences. By covering slightly more political topics or other topics that the programme's target demographic would find interesting.
Where as if you look at the example above of how modern Newsround is filmed the set is much larger then how it was during the 70's and more colourful, the news reader talks about more appropriate topics for the age demographic.
Modern Newsround also has had several spin-off's for example Sportsround and Newsround Review of the Year.
The BBC had a similar style show for teens to young adults called sixty seconds which is how long the programme lasts. The programme was launched in 2001 on BBC Choice a predecessor of the now online channel BBC3. the programme ceased broadcasting when BBC3 moved to BBC Iplayer
As you can see the presentation style is like Newsround but it only has time to give brief details of about three news stories per programme.
Today was when we finally completed editing Never Gonna Give You Up, which I have been editing throughout the filming process. But today was when I finally finished editing the film. The completed film is below.
This business is a photography and
Ecard Production service. If someone wanted to create E-cards either for
Valentine’s Day, Easter, Christmas or someone’s birthday I could either film a
personalised message or take photos for someone’s family, work, and class photo.
What make my Business different form
others are that we are a local friendly private business meaning that we won’t
share anything unless the clients/ customers allow us to.
The benefits my business would offer are
that we are willing to come to the customer if he/she allows us to and we do
location photoshoots.
Our customers would buy our product
because of the quality and cheap services offered by my business. If I can
acquire suitable studio space I would need DSLR’s cameras, Lights, printers,
Tripods, and
Background sheets including a green
screen.
My target customer base is families
however I will also provide service for schools, work places, parties and
weddings and cosplayers if they want location shoots to show off their
costumes.
I plan to advertise my business via
social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. My marketing plan is to
also include advertisements in local newspapers and shops.
My sales strategy is that for the first
2 months I intend to get £50 profit on average per week. To do this I would
charge the client/customer £6 per hour in the studio or £7 on location if they
wish for a photoshoot. 50p per copy of each customer approved photo there will
be discounts around Christmas or Valentine’s day, Mother’s day, Father’s day.
The people I would need in my team are
someone who would know how to set up a camera, lights and how to edit in a
backdrop. They would also need to have skills in operating social media such as
Facebook.
The different sources of work i could consider include working for one of the local filming companies, or as an assistant helping 1st year college students get to grips with the software they would be using for the next two years.
I could use social media such as Facebook, twitter and Instagram in order to reach and communicate with new and old clients/customers because that appears to be what many small businesses do these days I could also puts advertisements in the news papers or in local shops rather old school but still effective. I could also offer discounts around Christmas or valentines day depending on the bulk of photos that need to be created or videos that need to be edited.
My targets and goals include to get on average £50 per week for the first 4 months but as time goes on I would like to be earning more as my client base expands. Another target is to get 100 followers each on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram within the same four month time span.
The initial staffing at would be myself and possibly someone operating the computers and printers while I took the Photographs. eventually though I would like to expand such as having a receptionist taking calls and greeting clients as we are finishing up with the previous client/customer and possibly additional photographers if we get sufficient studio space so we can get more profit and go through clients and get more profit.
Stage 1
My media production skills include editing, Camera operating, sound recording, photography, Writing.
My editing skills are average but i can produce a sufficient cut of a film given dedication, patience and and a stress free environment however I may be understating my abilities.
My capabilities of camera operation are likewise average, I can name most types of camera angles and types of shots and what they are used for, for example a birds eye view is used for getting a shot where the camera is facing down pointing at the floor,an establishing shot can either by a panning shot where showcases an environment or a tracking shot where the camera focuses on a specific object usually an actor or a prop to establish the environment.
I can hold the Boom pole up high but not very steady I will admit to that but the sound usually is good so there is that.
I know how to set up the flash on a DSLR camera and how to set the lens focus to the specific settings for which event as well as how to set up the timer setting.
I am able to write good dialogue that doesn't sound like myself if I have assistance but I Need prompting to fully flesh out the character motivations and back story.
I could start an E card business as it does involve the editing filming and photography so I would be using three of my major Media Production skills. i could also start a photography business as well.
My idea for once my time at Ufilms has concluded would be to start a E card/photography business because it makes use of three of my major media production skills. For this business to be successful I would need suitable studio space. I would the appropriate equipment such as lights, cameras, tripods green screen, or various background sheets or whatever the client requested. I would also need the appropriate editing and/or printing facilities and software in order to produce what the theoretical client/customer has ordered.
The extract opens at least a day after the Titanic has sunk with the maids and servants being awoken to starts the day's work. It shows the servants quickly prepare the house before the Lords and Ladies awaken. When the newspapers arrive the entire staff is in shock at sinking of an apparent unsinkable vessel. the nobles of the house show subdued shock, sympathy, surprise and possibly indifference at the death of numerous unfortunate passengers.
The extract's genre is historical drama. And everything is era appropriate for it being set in 1912.
The extract features several long tracking shots: The first one follows the one of the servants as she leaves the lower levels to light the fires on the ground floors; the second tracking shot follows various other servants as they attend to their duties preparing for the nobles of the house to awaken and descend for Breakfast; The third tracking shot follows Lord Grantham as he descends the stairs to the dinning room for Breakfast. The first and second tracking shots are quite quick and hectic as are all shots involving the Servants of the house. But the shots involving Lord Grantham and the editing regarding those shots are quite slow denoting his status and wealth.
The music has a sense of regal, elegance especially when Lord Grantham descends the stairs. There are chimes of the bells in the kitchen.
The mise-en-scene is era appropriate the old fashioned maid costumes, The Male servants have pressed suits with starched collars. The Kitchen is full of brass and copper pots and pans and silver trays and cutlery. The news papers are ironed and there is discussion of electricity being a relatively new thing being introduced in homes. There are wood fires and the news papers are ironed. Mr Carson is shown polishing what appear to be brass candelabras. Mrs Hughes carries large iron keys with her. there is a system of bells connecting to each room to the kitchens in the servants quarters, so that the servant are made aware. there are wooden crates by the back door and the paper boy is covered in soot and ink wearing scruffy blackened clothes. At the News paper printers. There is a woman operating a Morse code machine. The colours of the house are Grand and elegant but muted for instance the walls of the dinning room are a dulled shade of yellow. There are ancestral portraits upon the wall of the dinning room.
The projects I managed for Ufilms was burning all the completed films on to disks that were to be sold. To do this I had to liaise with Editing staff of Ufilms to get the completed videos as well as the frame work for the disk menus which took far longer then t should due to problems that arose due to the computers not having enough processing power . In order to make sure that the disks were properly prepared we had to computers set up one that would burn the menu and files to the disks and the other was to make sure that the disks were all in order once that was done I handed them over to the editing staff who would do their own checks and to label the disks.
My final project for Ufilms was to turn my documentary from a previous into a tutorial resource for schools and colleges about autism and Asperger's syndrome and how people suffer from it are different and how they see the world. However I am working with Taylor Henderson in order to re edit the film due to it not having very tight editing and is a bit loose narrative wise and several other flaws in it. Matthew Taylor is also helping with editing the documentary so that he can get a final grade for his documentary assignment
Ufilms is a small business set up by Film & Television Production Students at Stockton Riverside College. The purpose of Ufilms is to provide media products, mainly for the college but we have done other things as well, such as promos for the college, recording the Christmas and end of year performances for the theatre students we also burn them to DVD's. We have also filmed a client's wedding.
Ufilms is ran by Danniella Cooper who is CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of Ufilms she is essentially the Boss Lady, Jess Bramfitt is 2nd in command of Ufilms she is accounting for Ufilms which means she controls the budgets for each project we have, including petrol money. the Human resources manager is Matthew Taylor his job is to make sure that everyone is feeling motivated. distribution managers are Ben Siddle and myself, Jordan Reed. it is our job to burn the films to disks so that they can be sold to the clients. Everyone however helps with filming and editing the different projects. We also have a presence on Social Media namely Facebook; Twitter and Instagram.
When discussing the project with the clients we make them sign a contract stating that we have to receive the promised amount by a certain time period before that we are paid a deposit by the client.
We charge the client:
£8 per hour for editing the final piece.
the individual disks cost £5
Use of a single camera and operator £8 per hour.
There are some projects that we have yet to receive payment for but that technically not a Ufilms project the Ufilms staff were involved filming/photographing and editing the final product.
our most frequent client is the organisation Page2Stage who do children's parties as well as theatre performances.
We market Ufilms on our social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as well as our former clients who's recommendations point their friends and families towards us. we also have a website however that is rarely used as most people book through Facebook.
Ufilms has highlighted how to run a small business by showing us how that if clients have not paid by the agreed time we must keep pushing for the promised payment or put interest on it. how to manage scheduling with our other projects so we don't mix them up with any of the other projects.
Ufilms obtains it's resources from Stockton Riverside College, Film & Television Production Department mainly it's camera equipment and it's editing software, in order to film and edit the product.
This source informs on how the logistics on forming a small
business in general but in regards for media based small business the logistics
include identifying what kind of media. Because there is photography; computer
game development, but beyond all of that in a media business.
Structure is the most important as such you have the senior
management, the Accounting who keeps track of the business’ budget and makes
sure that we get paid, The production crews who film/ photograph what we are
paid to film/ take photographs of. The editing teams who make sure that the
final product is put together, the distribution manager who burns the completed
films/ photographs to disks and makes sure that they are ready for the client
to claim.
Products made by a small media based business include films
such as weddings, award ceremonies, and theatre productions to be sold, or
Ecards a recorded message possibly for either Valentine’s Day or Christmas.
Media based small businesses tend to operate by advertising
themselves on line via social media for example Facebook or twitter using their
former clients as a way of advertising and by providing with a quality final
product as a way to convince said former clients to come to them again.

I went back and forth frequently to see how the make-up girls were getting on. once the make-up was finished being applied myself, Betty, Connor and Connor's sister went to the Green Room (SRC Room 229) once myself and the rest of the production crew gathered the equipment we set out to Trinity Mews to film the scene where Connor's character would be hit by a car. because we were filming in the middle of a road we developed a code word as warning if a car was coming or not. The code was Mississippi. Myself and Chloe took turns standing at the end of the road looking to see if a car was coming. once shooting that scene was complete we went back the College to shoot a pickup from the last time we were shooting.
