LO3: Justify the choice of content and the repurposed format

This assignment will outline and show a clear understanding/ justification of why the proposed content is suitable for my personal media profile. There will be a discussion of the benefits and opportunities of the adaption along with any limitation that need to be considered. I will also consider formats and file types for the adaption. In the two years of my media course, I have created audio, visual, audio-visual as well as written work. I have had to repurpose a lot of this work such as my radio show from a WAV to an MP3 to make the file size smaller so it can easily be exported by email or on to my blogger. By changing the format of my product, it allows me to send the radio show directly to my future employers or to other people who are potentially interested in my show, without them having to wait ages for it to load etc, because it has a larger file size. Another advantage of this is that allows me to save space on my portfolio, meaning I can add more content of what I have cr...

LO3: Create a media profile

Image
  In this assignment I will plan the creation of my media profile. I will identify who the proposed target audience is for my media profile and state the suitability of the profile for a variety of audiences. For each element identified I will explain how the can benefit me and the media profile when shown to potential employers/ universities.  This assignment mirrors very similar to unit 2 pre-production and planning where we looked at a variety of documents and how this could be laid out and impact the relevant target audience. Without this knowledge I would struggle to conduct this assignment.  https://stu-bairstowe.wixsite.com/portfolio  I have included my CV into the media profile so that the potential employer can view my credentials and see what grades I might have got at school/ college which would not be seen through the elements listed below. A CV is a traditional way to apply for a job and still the most popular as it contains all the relevant details. As ...

LO3: Legal and Ethical

A legal issue needed to consider when I was creating my short film was the copyright law. This is when someone creates their own original content, such as images or videos, they then own the rights to this content and has control who can or cant use is. Therefore when creating my own film I will need to make sure I use my own clips and make sure that my clips don't look similar from parts from other films, that I want to include in my film. For example, I will need to take my own clips, or even use copyright free clips off of websites such as Pexels. Pexels have assets that people can use for free.  When creating my radio show I needed to make sure that I stuck to the different media regulation rules which is created by Ofcom. The content which I produced bad to have no swearing/ violent/ sexual references, that could potentially offend anyone. Having stuck to the rules which was put in place by Ofcom it means that if I wanted my radio station to be broadcasted in the future then i...

HOME PAGE ABOUT ME PAGE BDQ PAGE THE FIRST SITE PAGE PHOTOGRAPHY PAGE CONTACT ME PAGE When planning for my personal portfolio I have designed it this way to show future employers the different work in which I have created. For example on the photography page I have included examples of images which I have edited to show people who view my portfolio my photoshop skills. On the The First Site page it shows how i can use premier, as I have included the film, as well as how I can plan for a project before hand. As well as for the BDQ it shows how i used audition, how I used wix, as well as how i can plan for an audio product. I added the navigation bar to the top of all my pages so it is clear to the employer who is viewing my portfolio the different pages which are available to look at.

LO3: Identify and repurpose content for use in the profile

In this assignment I will choose a piece of work I want to repurpose and adapt. The current medium identified will be explained in detail and outline the benefit to potential employers or universities. This assignment will focus on a short film along with a breakfast show. This assignment has only been made possible due to coverage in unit 3 where we had to create a radio advertisement. Short film: In order to add my short film on to my portfolio I originally needed to export it as a MOV file and exported it again to a MP4 file type. This then enabled me to upload the video the short film on to YouTube, so I could then add it on to my portfolio. By doing this it will show any future employers that I have the skills to plan, produce and edit a film. This shows employers the work which I am capable of, this then shows the professional quality of the work which I can potentially create for them, when being employed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3wJNGumIVc Breakfast Show: Ano...

LO2: Be able to scope and plan content for a personal media profile

A product which I created is a storyboard on paper for a short film. The storyboard I created shows a series of different events that happen in each scene of the film, including the shot types, camera movements, and an image of what the main scene will look like. To get this on to my computer it was scanned in and converted into a PDF file, when saved. This document is used to plan the production of my short film to show moderators and teachers the pre-production of my film. This took time and a lot of thought as I wanted to create characters and a storyline that could be relatable to my target audience, allowing viewers to connect with the film, resulting in them being drawn into the narrative of the film. I was able to produce a romantic comedy, which can be relatable to a lot of teens because it can happen to a lot of people in modern day times.   I created wireframes for a local breakfast radio show's website which is based in Doncaster, BDQ. I made seven different wireframes f...
