- 2. MMA On Point is a YouTube channel that reports on current and past topics within the sport of mixed martial arts. They use a style of narration over images and video clips of what they are talking about. I enjoy this style as it keeps the audiences attention throughout the video, they are also very informative and good with detail with what they are reporting/ talking about. Since their channel is about MMA which is the subject I am also going to be talking about, this will help as I will use some of the information that they themselves have said as it is true and helpful with the project I am doing. Although their style is very basic, it is also effective as it does not try to go above and beyond in presentation as this will take the audiences attention away from the information being presented. This is what I want my project to look like as it is effective to the point where you, as the audience, learn what you are being told and your visual attention is staying on the video too.
- 3. Full Reptile is a podcast/ analyst channel of a former MMA world title contender, Dan Hardy. Dan Hardy has had a large career in the world of MMA and made it to the UFC to challenge GSP for his welterweight world championship. Dan Hardy is one of the main public figures to make way for UK MMA. After his retirement, he started his own YouTube channel and got a job at the UFC as an announcer and analyst. With his YouTube channel, he talks about upcoming fights and also previous fights/ careers of fighters. He is very analytical in his work and uses the same sort of style as MMA On Point by talking about what is happening but instead of him narrating over pictures and videos. He uses fight footage and dissects it for the audience. This is more visual rather than audio although, he does have a podcast version, it doesn'tāt work as well due to their being a lack of visual representation. I would like to be as analytic as Dan Hardy but for my project it would not fit but the fact of visual representation being a must in his work, helps me decided that I would also like to use visual representations within my project as appose to it just being a audio project.
- 4. Strong Opinion Sports is a podcast run by independently by Zac Shomler who is a former college Quarter Back. Zac and his podcast is mainly about the NFL and the happening within the league including news and up and coming stars, he does a great segment in where he analyses film from up and coming players from college to see how they will fair within the NFL. He also covers other sports such as the NBA, F1 and the NHL, although he primarily focusā on the NFL. Zacās show is great at he has a YouTube channel which co- exists with his podcast so he can upload specific segments from the podcast straight to YouTube as a highlight and he records his podcast with video and audio but for people who do not want to watch the podcast they can go on other media sites such as SoundCloud to listen to his show without having to watch it at the same time. Zac for his show is very analytic and puts a lot of effort into the research he does making sure he gets all the facts out there and gives different perspectives to show the audience how others can see the situation. For my documentary, I would like to put as much work and research into it as Zac does for Strong Opinion Sports and show my audience other peopleās perspectives rather than being biased and only showing it how I would see it. This would help make my piece more respectable as it wonāt be just me throwing my opinion out.
- 5. British Pathe is a YouTube channel who make small history documentaries on more war based subjects. They use the style of being basic by only using footage and photos whilst narrating over the visuals. As previously mentioned, this is the style I want to do for my short factual piece. They also make the narration a more serious tone compared to my other research pieces which I leaning more towards doing this style as I do not want to add a sense of comedy into my piece and I think a more monotone narration would help with the re- reading of the history which is something more in common with the British Pathe.
- 6. Research summary: To summarise my research, I have decided that I am going to be doing my project in a documentary style. I am doing this as I am revising the history of a sport that it new to the world and I believe that the story and history behind the sport is something that more people need to know about. I will be using photos and videos as my visual stimulation for the audience, these videos and photoās will be of historical significance as they are etched into the history of the sport, I will be getting these pictures and videoās off the internet as I do not have any myself but after looking at copyright laws, I can use them under the fair use act as long as I credit the lawful owner, which is what I will do. I will also be using a monotone voice for the narration to help show the audience the seriousness and importance of what I am saying which I believe is necessary. I will be taking most of my inspiration of the format in which I am doing this piece of work from the British Pathe as they use this format more than the other companyās I have researched. Although, I will be taking inspiration from MMA On Point as I have decided to use transitions to help layer and split up my product to make it easier to follow.

Editor's Notes
- Context affects what is produced, how it is produced and who can produce it. Technology is part of the context. Early fanzines were hand made because there was no InDesign or Photoshop. Web-series simply didnāt existing because the web didnāt exist. People who donāt have access to jobs in mainstream media, to become journalists or editors, might produce work independently of that system. People who donāt see themselves or their interests being represented in main stream media, might produce something that represents them or their social group. The political situation will influence what someone decides to make. The cultural situation will influence what people make. Every media text is a product of its environment, just like people. Style: TheĀ wayĀ inĀ whichĀ somethingĀ isĀ said,Ā done,Ā expressed,Ā orĀ performed.Ā TheĀ combinationĀ of distinctiveĀ featuresĀ ofĀ literaryĀ orĀ artisticĀ expression,Ā execution,Ā orĀ performanceĀ characterizingĀ a particularĀ person,Ā group,Ā school,Ā orĀ era. For example, a podcast could be two people talking, it could be interviews and a voice over, it could just be a recording of a teaching sessionā¦ how it is done, is the style. Techniques: How are these things being made? What methods are being used? Find out and also use your own experience. For example, is a fanzine being hand written or word processed? How do people making a web series set up their shooting spaces? The more you can find out about technique, the more you can get ideas for your own work. Content: TheĀ material,Ā includingĀ textĀ andĀ images,Ā thatĀ constitutesĀ aĀ publicationĀ orĀ document. What is actually in this product? Break it down.
