2. The video is made in the UK in 2015 by “Cycling Weekly” and
is made to show cyclists how to ride their bike safely whilst on
the roads. The information is delivered to us in a compilation
of five simple facts, and each one is broken down so we can
understand it all. The video is made by filming cyclists from
different perspectives. There are cameramen on the
pavement and in front of the cyclists, and the cyclist actors
themselves are wearing GoPro cameras. The facts can be
taken as instructions on how to cycle, thus making them
easier to understand and follow.
When watching this video I learn how to deliver information
to people in more interesting ways. This will make it easier for
me teach my viewers how lockdown has effected different
people.
3. This web docu-series made produced by “Vice” and explores
the day to day life of Faustino Barrientos, a man who has
spent the past 40, probably now 50+ years of his life living in
isolation in the mountains of Chile, specifically an area called
Peninsula La Florída. Rather than presented to us in simple,
easy to follow facts, the documentary delivers us the
information through long complicated monologues that
require some strict concentration to fully understand. The
documentary is filmed with a camera crew who also use
microphones to record what they need. They include lots of
establishing shots of the landscaped area so we can get a
freak sense of how isolated Faustino’s life was. The way the
information is delivered to us is sophisticated and is mature
to the viewer.
This documentary has given me an idea of how I give the
viewer the information I want to give them, as well as how I
can shoot my video and present it.
4. The video is made by “Psych2Go”, and discusses how people
can be struggling with mental illnesses and not be showing
any signs of it. The video has some well drawn cartoons of
people with mental health issues, these make it easier to
understand the topic of the video and what the narrator is
saying. The whole video is done in a cartoon style, showing us
how these issues look on the inside and how they can appear
on the outside. content. The drawings aren’t exactly stick
figures are very much lacking in detail in terms of human
features making them very simple and the video becomes
easier to watch.
The video has very straight forward and simple narration that
is easy to listen to. This will make the topic in my video easier
to get across to my viewer.
5. This video is made by a photographer called “David Manning”
who is giving the viewer a lecture on how to become a great
photographer, mainly talking the ISO feature. He presents the
video by sitting in front of and talking directly to the camera.
Doing this gives the viewer something to focus on. He has
placed he camera directly on the other side of the table he is
sitting at so we can get a full view of him. He also puts text
and images on the screen as examples and to help us
understand what he is talking about.
I can use the way he talks to the camera in my video so I can
communicate with my viewer.
6. This video is made by “Mind, the Mental Health Charity” and
it takes a look at different peoples experiences and troubles
concerning their mental health. It shows interviews of people
discussing their own stories directly to the camera. They are
asked questions like how they cope and how their issues
started. We don’t hear anyone ask the questions, they are all
presented in text on the screen, followed by the interviewees
answering them. The video includes silent shots of the
interviewees that show their emotions and what they are
feeling. content. The video also uses sentimental background
music to make it feel more emotional.
I can use this method of interviewing people to help me with
my questions. I can have talk directly into the camera about
their feelings. I can also use similar music in the background.
7. Research summary:
• I found new ways to film my interviews rather than just having people talk through a webcam and
screen recording it.
• Research gave me the idea of what kind of background music I can have in my video rather than just
having it be a silent uncreative background.
• I’ve learned what kind of questions I can ask people about how lockdown affected them.
• I’ve learned how to personally address the viewer when I want to talk to them and tell them about the
situation.
• Research also told me how to talk to the viewer and describe to them how people feel and how
lockdown has affected them.

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 didn’t existing because the web didn’t exist.
People who don’t have access to jobs in mainstream media, to become journalists or editors, might produce work independently of that system.
People who don’t 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: The way in which something is said, done, expressed, or performed. The combination of distinctive features of literary or artistic expression, execution, or performance
characterizing a particular person, group, school, or 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 session… 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:
The material, including text and images, that constitutes a publication or document.
