Multi-Camera Evaluation

During our first multi-camera production we decided to do a paranormal multi-camera. We came to the idea by brainstorming ideas. We were talking about implementing ways to scare the audience while keeping in theme with the main show. We decided to go with the whole paranormal idea. We built up on the idea more and the initial idea of scaring the audience was pushed out the way to prioritize making an actual production.

Analyze the Codes and Conventions of Radio Drama

Narrative codes (Story)
Technical (SFX, voice-over, music)
Verbal (Dialogue)

Meaning (What’s going on)
Effect (How do you want the audience to feel about it)


Star Wars

Technical:
Announcer - Writer Credits, Director
Theme Tune (Title Music)
Sound Bridge (foreboding music - villains)
SFX:

• Dialogue over intercoms
• Low rumbling sound - engines
• Swooping Engines
• Electronic Beeping/Alarms
• Explosions

Background Sound = ambience/wildtracks (hides the cuts)

Dialogue - Character names, volume to show proximity, don't overlap dialogue

• Technology
• Space
• Alien Creatures
• Futuristic

FMP

Accuracy

• Must be accurate and Factual
• Documentary maker loses creditability
• Viewer loses faith in documentary production team

• Research
• Contact/Interview People (Primary)
• Internet/Books/Magazines etc (Secondary)

• Could be sued (e.g. libel/slander)

Balance/Bias/Impartiality

Balance:
Presenting both sides of the argument

Bias:
Taking only one side of the argument

(e.g. Loose Change

- Biased against US Government

- No positive angle on US Government

- No interviews)

Impartiality:
Not taking any side of the argument

Representation

Speaking on behalf of someone else

Purposes of a Music Video: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Reason For Research
Considering the time this video was produced, it is very well made with the effects and shots. The video is made up of the band performing and there are multiple effects using shadows, silhouettes and some good lighting. This is another video I would highly consider taking from as I can easily get hold of a theatre studio and it would be nice to play with some cool effects.

Purposes of a Music Video: Guns N' Roses - Estranged

Reason For Research
During the video, they have the chorus showing a short movie while at the chorus they have the band performing. Considering the year it was produced, it looks like a fairly high budget video because of the locations used and the smooth crane shots. This is a video I'm seriously considering to take a lot from with the idea of a story type video then the band performing during the chorus.

Purposes of a Music Video: OK Go - This Too Shall Pass

Reason For Research
From what I have seen from OK Go, they use extremely creative music videos. This music video really fits in with the rest of their videos. It looks as if it's a one shot video, but according to YouTuber Freddie Wong, there are some hidden cuts. This may be a bit of a difficult setup for me to do because if the extreme planning and length of time to create. It's still a very creative setup and worth looking into certain elements such as the one take or the Rube Goldberg machine.
