The document discusses different styles of documentaries, including poetic, expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative styles. It provides examples and descriptions of each style. Poetic documentaries focus on subjective interpretation and mood over narrative or characters. Expository documentaries establish a point of view through narration. Observational documentaries focus on observing different perspectives of an issue. Participatory documentaries involve the filmmaker. Reflexive documentaries focus on the filmmaker. Performative documentaries combine styles and create an emotional connection.
The document discusses key features of factual productions, including using a presenter to guide the audience through the story, narration to objectively tell the story, and piecing together the story without narration using pre-existing clips and graphics. It also mentions reconstructing historical events when no footage exists and using drawings and animation. The researcher then summarizes the content they have collected on Doctor Who, including videos on representation in media, the debate around having a female Doctor, and research on Doctor Who's audience demographics and viewing figures over time. The summary states the research will help inform the key features and style of the researcher's own factual production on Doctor Who.
This document summarizes the key features of factual productions and research conducted for a factual production about Doctor Who. It discusses common styles of factual storytelling like using a presenter or narration. It also reviews existing videos that discuss topics related to representation and gender in Doctor Who, as well as videos with similar styles of editing, framing, and narration. Research was also done on Doctor Who audience demographics and viewership data over the years. This research will help shape the production and target the appropriate audience for a factual video about topics related to Doctor Who.

This document discusses visual literacy and the digital manipulation of images. It questions whether seeing is believing given that images can be altered digitally. Examples are provided of hoax pictures and digitally altered photos that were intended to fool people. The document explores when altering images may or may not be acceptable, such as for entertainment purposes versus altering news photos without disclosure. Students are prompted to consider when digitally altering photos is okay in a five sentence blog post response.
He was a player.
Not because he became rich. Not because he became famous. Not even because he got things right. Rather, he played the game. In other words, he didn't sit on the sidelines. He didn't waste time watching the world go by as it was undergoing the most profound shift of basic premises in recent history.

The document discusses the "doodle revolution" and the #todaysdoodle movement. It notes that doodling provides insight and is a form of visual language. The #todaysdoodle movement began in 2014 as a way for people to share and learn from one another's doodles by posting one doodle per day on Twitter. It has grown internationally and serves as an informal "school" where participants can practice and learn different doodling techniques and themes through sharing their work.
The document outlines an interdisciplinary 10th grade world studies project at Stephen F. Austin High School in Austin, Texas where students research a global issue, conduct interviews, and create advocacy products to raise awareness and encourage action. Students work in groups to identify an issue, conduct research, and create items like public service announcements, websites, or art installations to persuade the public and call attention to issues impacting both the global and local community. The project aims to teach students important skills like identifying global problems, interviewing experts, using rhetorical strategies, and designing effective advocacy materials to give voice to the powerless.

Return of experience from an agile Fix price/fix scope/fix date projectGilles Scokart
Even when the scope, the budget and the schedule of a project is fixed, there are plenty of dimensions on which you have freedom.
This presentation relates the story of a project that explored some of those other dimensions by adopting various agile aproaches.
This document discusses key concepts related to representation and stereotyping that are important to consider for a documentary production. It defines representation as the portrayal of people or topics from a particular perspective. Representation can be problematic if it is biased or does not fairly represent all groups. The document also discusses the concepts of mediation, dominant ideology, intentional view, and stereotyping. Specifically, it notes that mediation, the selection and organization of what is shown, is unavoidable but should aim for balanced representation. When producing the documentary, the document recommends capturing more footage than needed to allow for selective representation, and avoiding pushing a single intentional view in order to encourage debate.
This document discusses several key concepts related to media analysis, including auteur theory, reception theory, and the male gaze.
Auteur theory suggests that a film director's style and themes across their body of work identifies them as the "author" of their films. Reception theory examines how audiences interpret and make meaning from media texts in different, negotiated ways based on their own experiences and identities.
The male gaze theory proposes that visual media, especially films, are often constructed from the perspective of the heterosexual male viewer. This frames women as passive sexual objects to be looked at, prioritizing their appearance and the male viewer's desire over women's own subjectivity or agency. Studies link the influence of the male
Social media dashboards can help organizations understand and engage audiences online. Listening dashboards monitor topics, content, and comments across various social media platforms to identify trends. Production dashboards help schedule and manage multiple social media accounts and responses. Measurement dashboards gather metrics on engagement to evaluate performance and plan future strategies. Various free and paid services exist to create customized dashboards for listening, managing, and measuring social media activities.
This document summarizes a radio program called Metanomics that discusses the problems of digital memory and the internet's inability to forget. The guest, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, authored a book called "Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age" which examines how the permanent nature of digital information can negatively impact people's lives and reputations through stories like Stacy Snyder, who was denied her teaching certificate due to an old photo online, and Andrew Feldmar, who was banned from the US due to an old article found through an online search. Mayer-Schönberger argues that the ability to forget is important to being human and discusses solutions like making digital information more ephemeral rather than promoting total digital
Social networks, the ‘mega-public’, huge super-wired forces of virtual supporters ready, willing and able to be tapped to mutual advantage. An interactive discussion of views on how that evolution can and does work for us as individuals, as businesses, and collectively as a region.
A PowerPoint Presentation about "HONESTY". Most contents are for slideshow purposes. Comment below if you want a downloadable copy of the PowerPoint presentation.
The document discusses collective identity and how it is formed through media and social interactions. It provides examples of how identities are constructed collectively on YouTube and in virtual worlds like Second Life. Key points examined are how the media represents different groups, how identities formed in media may not reflect an authentic self but rather be constructed based on the expectations of others, and implications of "truthiness" prevailing over truth when identities are formed collectively.
The student proposes creating a trailer for a post-apocalyptic film set in a world where society has collapsed. The main character is a teenager alone in the world who finds a photograph of friends and family. They later discover they are not alone when they find one of the people from the photograph. The trailer will be structured like an extended scene and include promotional materials. The purpose is to get the audience thinking about how society's divisions could lead to its downfall without aliens being the cause. The student plans experiments, filming, editing, and evaluations over 20 weeks.
The document discusses representation in media texts. It makes three key points:
1. All media texts involve mediation which alters reality and creates representations rather than showing the true reality. Mediation involves selection, organization and focusing of elements.
2. Representations are influenced by the intentions of their creators, the views of individuals consuming the media, and the dominant ideology of society.
3. Stereotyping is a natural human tendency that simplifies groups into prototypes. Media representations exploit this by emphasizing appearances, behaviors, and constructing stereotypes that fit each medium. People tend to conform new information to existing stereotypes.
Primary research involves collecting new information directly through methods like surveys and interviews. It allows researchers full control but is time-consuming and expensive. Secondary research analyzes existing information from sources like reports and studies. It is cheaper and more accessible but may be outdated. For their documentary on bullying, the students conducted primary research through questionnaires and secondary research by watching other documentaries to inform their work.
The student proposes creating a short film/music video exploring the trauma of harassment and violence against women through portraying a woman's internal struggles and implied journey to freedom. Research will include analyzing similar existing works and music to inform the project's themes, style, and audience. A detailed plan outlines the pre-production, production, and evaluation phases over 17 weeks, including researching, storyboarding, filming, editing, and getting feedback to create a high-quality final product.
The research summary discusses 6 documentaries related to internet privacy and social media dangers. It notes that most of the documentaries used interviews as a way to get information from subjects. The documentaries explored topics like how much personal data is available online, how data has become more valuable than oil, and what people agree to in websites' terms and conditions. One documentary stood out for using an overlay technique where multiple people answered the same question one after another. The summary concludes that a key aspect of the research project will be conducting interviews to inform points and gather data about the dangers of putting too much personal information online.

The document discusses representation in media and how the media constructs meanings about people, events, and ideas through representation rather than objectively portraying reality. It defines representation as depicting or describing something to call it up in the viewer's mind. The media relies on audiences understanding and accepting its representations. As media students, it is important to question who and what is represented and how, identify lack of representation, and deconstruct technical and cultural codes used to represent things to audiences.
The document provides biographical information on film director Jeff Orlowski and discusses some of his documentary films. It notes that Orlowski directed the 2020 Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma" about the negative effects of social media. It examines some of his other documentaries such as "Chasing Ice" (2012) and "Chasing Coral" (2017) which focused on climate change. The document also provides a brief overview and analysis of the 2018 film "Searching" directed by Aneesh Chaganty, which portrayed the dangers of social media and technology through computer and smartphone screens.
Media meaning is created through symbolic and technical codes. Symbolic codes include mise-en-scene elements like colors, lighting, and facial expressions, while technical codes involve camera work like shots, angles, and editing techniques. How audiences interpret media can vary according to Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model of preferred, negotiated, or oppositional readings depending on their own backgrounds. Symbolic codes are designed to elicit real-life emotions from viewers, while technical codes shape meaning through techniques such as shot types, camera movements, and edited transitions.
The document discusses 6 different types of documentaries that could be used for a project: poetic, expository, participatory, observational, reflexive, and performative. It decides that an expository style would best fit the idea of documenting existing expository products. Researching existing documentaries provided inspiration for interview styles, use of b-roll footage, and topics to explore like privacy issues on the internet and how much personal data is really shared online.

The constructionist theory proposes that media representations are constructed from the producer's perspective, societal views, and reality. The document discusses several potential representations in a media production and how they align with or challenge the producer's views, societal norms, and factual realities. Specifically, it examines how representations of introverts, women, and university students in the production suit or contradict these different viewpoints. While the representations address some stereotypes, the document suggests challenging gender stereotypes more directly by depicting the male art teacher in a traditionally female-associated role to subvert expectations of power dynamics.
Zoella rose to fame through her lifestyle blog and YouTube channel where she shares beauty, fashion, and lifestyle content. She has expanded her brand through collaboration videos, product lines, and a bestselling novel to become a multi-million pound business. However, some critics argue that Zoella promotes unrealistic standards of beauty and consumerism to her predominantly teenage female audience.
The document discusses the concept of representation and mediation in media texts. It explains that all media representations involve three key processes: selection, where certain elements are chosen over others; organization, where elements are arranged in particular ways; and focusing, where the media directs audience attention. It also discusses three views of representation - the reflective view which sees media as accurately reflecting reality, the intentional view which sees representation as intentional portrayal, and the constructionist view which sees representation as a complex interaction between the object, creator, audience and societal context. Representations are never exact reflections of reality but mediated portrayals that audiences interpret based on their own perspectives and societal influences.
Week 5 Instructor GuidanceOne of the topics we’ve been talki.docxcockekeshia
Week 5 Instructor Guidance
One of the topics we’ve been talking about throughout this course is how we can track both the personal and societal impact of film. In fact, your Week One Introduction post asked you to consider this issue and, as we progressed through the class and learned new terminology--new ways of looking at film, we were able to reconsider and develop our perspectives on this.
Both of your discussion posts this week touch on this issue, and it comes up in relation to your final written assignment as well.
While everything we’ve learned has helped us develop a critical capacity for talking about film, deepening our appreciation of the medium itself, ultimately our understanding of the (sometimes very personal) way film intersects with society is the key to unlocking another layer to the material from this course.
Students sometimes wonder about this course, asking how the material directly impacts their study of a chosen major. Students may even go a step beyond that and ask about how the material they've been studying has bearing on their anticipated career field at all!
That's why it's important to take a step back, away from the camera, away from the specifications of shots or the varying aspects of cinematography. It's time to pull our eyes away from the screen and look around at the world that surrounds us. We should be able to identify and consider the many ways film can impact society . . . as well as how society may impact film! In this way, we can start to consider how we can apply what we've learned in this class!
A recent study conducted by the University of Rochester (NY) finds that watching and discussing movies about relationships is as effective in lowering divorce rates as other, more intensive, early marriage counseling programs! Watch this video presentation.
Follow this link for more information about the study, and to download information about the films the couples watched, as well as the different questions the researchers asked the couples to reflect on after they watched specific movies.
As you reflect on your own journey in this class--how you watch movies and the kinds of impacts that films can have on people--try to think deeply about the many ways we engage with film and what it can really mean to us in our majors, in our careers, and in our lives!
Many of the movies we respond to are made for mostly for entertainment. No matter their artistic value, or how intelligent the plot may be, the main goal is to find an audience and get them to pay money to watch what unfolds onscreen. Individual members of the creative team--the director, the writer, specific actors--might have other more lofty aims, but at the root there is a basic economic principle at work.
Therefore, it would be easy to write these films off and focus more exclusively on documentaries or smaller budget movies made by guerilla filmmakers who aren't tied to the money making Hollywood scheme of things. We could focus on films that try.
Our documentary uses and develops several conventions of real documentaries such as using an off-screen presenter, actual footage without actors, interviews with experts and the public, titles and subtitles, and background music. However, it challenges some conventions like not including sound effects and using handwritten papers for the title sequence instead of animation to fit its target audience of students and focus on the topic of violence in video games. Overall, the documentary aims to look professional by following main documentary codes while putting its own creative spin.

· Sample – [ You will want to describe the image and/or give background to the visual you choose.
· For example:
The Crisis relief is an organization that provides help to Asian countries in times of crisis. They train volunteers, raise awareness, and partner with other organizations to better help those in need. They produced an image that raises awareness about a present issue. In just black and white, a young distressed child is in the arms of a motherly figure. Even though the motherly figure’s face is covered, the emotion of the child’s pain is very apparent.

· For example:
The Crisis relief is an organization that provides help to Asian countries in times of crisis. They train volunteers, raise awareness, and partner with other organizations to better help those in need. They produced an image that raises awareness about a present issue. In just black and white, a young distressed child is in the arms of a motherly figure. Even though the motherly figure’s face is covered, the emotion of the child’s pain is very apparent. The background looks unsanitary, as do the tattered clothes the young boy is wearing. The women’s body language is very nurturing, even with the pain the boy is in, the women seems collected. Around them are hands with thumbs up, along with the text, “Liking isn’t helping” and “Be a volunteer, Change a life”.

The document discusses 6 types of documentaries that could be used for a project: poetic, expository, participatory, observational, reflexive, and performative. It also provides examples of hacked social media incidents and dangers on the internet that could be explored in the documentary. The researcher analyzed several existing documentaries focused on privacy, data collection, terms and conditions online, and social media effects. Through this research, ideas were gathered for topics, styles, and techniques to incorporate interviews, b-roll, and factual information into an informative documentary about secrets and dangers discovered on the internet.
This document provides details about the presentation of the author's art project at an art gallery. It will be presented digitally as a slideshow, physically through an interactive draw unit containing prints and props, and online through the gallery and college websites. The author shares photos of the presentation space in the gallery during setup, including the locations for the digital slideshow, description plaque, and draw unit. The draw unit contains matt prints and original props from the project to allow interactive viewing. The project will also be accessible online through the gallery and college websites as well as on the digital platform Issuu.
The document provides a self-evaluation and reflection on the progression of the student's final major project (FMP). It discusses how the initial pre-proposal and research was too narrow in scope and did not allow for natural development. The student realized over time that their project shifted in unexpected ways as they gained more feedback and insights. Their contextual research and first experiments went well in establishing themes and inspiration. However, subsequent planning, production, photoshoots, and post-production improved as the student's ideas evolved and they incorporated additional feedback. The student encountered some time management and motivation challenges due to the pandemic but overcame these to produce a final product that exceeded their original expectations and was more creative and professional.
This document provides an outline and planning details for a multimedia art project exploring themes of femininity. It will be split into three parts: (1) exploring purity and innocence with classical portrait-style shots, (2) inspired by hurtful things said to the artist depicted through photo colors, and (3) inspired by classic portraits with exaggerated makeup. Details are provided for photo shoots, lighting, editing, presentation in a gallery and online, color schemes, textures and schedule with deadlines.

The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers analyzed data from dozens of countries and found that lockdowns led to an average decline of nearly 30% in nitrogen dioxide levels across major cities. However, they also observed that the reductions in air pollution were temporary and that levels began to rise again as restrictions eased and human activity increased.
The document outlines the page structure and content for a zine about femininity. It will include photos and drawings with feminine themes and attributes. It will discuss the history of feminism and the progression of the feminist movement through different waves. It will also explore representations of femininity in art and how artists like Grayson Perry have expressed femininity. The zine will document the author's process of exploring their own femininity by taking on a motif in the style of Perry and other artists, shown through a photo series of their transformation.
This document provides a planning outline for a photography project exploring femininity in the style of artist Grayson Perry. It includes details on themes, props, shots, design considerations, and a schedule. Themes discussed are vulnerability/innocence, classic beauty, and blending femininity and masculinity. Props listed are a white dress, fake flowers, accessories, and a white backdrop. Shots planned include a cover photo of the model lying among rose petals. The project will be presented as a slideshow in an art gallery and online using Adobe programs. Text will explore femininity in art and include influences like Frida Kahlo. A deadline of March 5th is set for the finished product.
This summary provides an overview of the key points from the document in 3 sentences:
Grayson Perry, Frida Kahlo and Lubania Himid are discussed as artists who use their art to express aspects of their identity that have been influenced by society or personal experiences. Their works tackle themes like gender, feminism, politics and racism through bold symbolism and imagery. Reception theory is also covered, explaining how audiences can interpret media texts in dominant, oppositional or negotiated ways depending on their perspective.
Jodie Wood is proposing a digital print project focused on femininity in artist Grayson Perry's pre-therapy works. The project will include elements of video and graphic design. Research will examine feminism waves, Perry's life, and similar artists. The concept is a minimalist magazine exploring femininity in Perry's art from that period. Evaluation will include daily reflections documented over the project's duration in weekly video logs to create a full production record for assessment. The goal is to reflect on strengths and weaknesses to continuously improve work quality.
Experiments were developed to test hypotheses. Care was taken to ensure the experiments were properly designed, controlled and able to answer the questions being asked. The results of the experiments were then analyzed to determine if they supported or contradicted the original hypotheses.
Anna Sampson is a photographer who uses shocking and obscene photos to challenge societal views of gender norms. Her photos depict themes like gender fluidity and defiance of traditional gender roles. Juno Calypso also explores gender and femininity through her artistic photos featuring her alter ego "Joyce". Francesca Woodman took nude and blurred photos exploring themes of fragility and youth. Cindy Sherman pioneered work questioning gender and societal standards through character development and documentary series. Third wave feminism in the 90s inspired artists like Grayson Perry to explore gender identity and individual expression.
The document discusses the student's approach to their final major project amidst the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally planning a video project, the student changed to a print-based project to avoid reliance on others. The student experimented with different design approaches for the project covers and backs to work through any potential technical issues. Through organized file storage, experimentation, and backup plans, the student aims to minimize problems and ensure the quality of their work during this important independent project.
This document provides a bibliography or list of 8 sources referenced in an essay on the magazine industry. The sources include newspaper articles, industry reports, and academic pages that discuss topics like the future of print magazines, the state of the magazine industry in Europe, whether magazines are truly dying, whether digital magazines are dead, subscriptions to magazines like British Vogue and Rolling Stone, reception theory, and reading difference.
This document provides a bibliography for initial research on the magazine industry and reception theory. It lists 6 sources for initial research on the state of the magazine industry and whether it is declining. It also lists 2 sources on reception theory to help analyze audience reception of magazines. The sources come from publications like The New York Times, Statista, Wired and magazines directly.
Stuart Hall's reception theory proposes that media texts can be decoded in different ways by audiences. The producer encodes a preferred meaning, but audiences may interpret it dominantly, oppositionally, or through negotiation. Dominant readings accept the intended meaning. Oppositional readings reject this in favor of personal meanings. Negotiated readings find a compromise by combining producer and personal views. How audiences decode depends on their age, beliefs, culture, gender, experiences, and mood.
This bibliography contains 8 sources used for research on Grayson Perry, Lubainia Himid, and the different waves of feminism including first-wave, second-wave, third-wave, and fourth-wave feminism. The sources include pages from Tate, Thames & Hudson, WePresent, and Wikipedia pages on relevant topics accessed on dates ranging from December 2020 to January 2021.
Jodie Wood proposes creating a minimalist magazine focused on Grayson Perry's use of femininity in his pre-therapy art. The project will include elements of digital print, video, and graphic design. Research will examine feminism, Perry's life and the societal context of his early work. The magazine will explore how Perry expressed himself through femininity in art and how prominent this theme is. Weekly tasks over 19 weeks include primary and secondary research, experiments, production, peer feedback, evaluation, and presentation.
The document provides contextual research for an FMP project on Grayson Perry's Pre-Therapy Years exhibition. It discusses the artist's initial reactions and ideas for the project, including exploring feminism in art and Perry's influences from the Riot Grrrl era. Light research is presented on the waves of feminism and artists influenced by femininity and identity such as Grayson Perry, Lubaina Himid, and Frida Kahlo.
The student proposes exploring femininity in art through analyzing Grayson Perry's Pre-Therapy Years works and creating a piece of digital print media on the topic. They are fascinated by how artists use feminism in powerful ways that reach audiences. Studying feminist movements of the 1980s and 90s, when Perry's works were created, influenced their interest in how feminism shaped modern society and art. Their project will examine how feminism has changed in society and art over time, educating themselves and others on the history and how artists convey messages. Main influences are Perry for addressing identity and femininity, Frida Kahlo for exploring femininity and nature, and Lubainia Himid for historical identity and bold feminism
The document provides context for a contextual research project on feminism in art. It discusses the student's initial reactions and influences, including Grayson Perry's work exploring gender and identity. It also outlines plans for a digital print project with a minimalist design aesthetic. Research will explore feminist movements and artists like Frida Kahlo who explored identity and femininity in their work.
The document is an evaluation form for a student's media project on Lorde.
The student chose to create a fanzine about Lorde after initially planning a documentary. Research included books on fanzine history and audience surveys. The student developed ideas through multiple drafts and refined the structure. The outcome was a 14-page fanzine.
The student felt relief upon completion but wishes they had been more creative. They aim to apply lessons around creativity and skill development to future projects.
Hadj Ounis's most notable work is his sculpture titled "Metamorphosis."

The 6 Different Styles of
Documentaries – Poetic
Poetic: documentaries that tend toward subjective
interpretation of its subject, they forsake traditional narrative
content: individual characters and events remain undeveloped
in favor of creating a particular mood or tone.
Example: Time – A Poetic Documentary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSSqa9RD3mw
They use no commentary in order to create an artistic
ambiance, similar to the use of words in poems. Focusing on
visual aesthetics, they use more well thought out artistic shots
with fitting music in the background. Could be found in
museums to create a beautiful image of a certain thing – for
example could be used in a science museum to show Earth.
4. +
The 6 Different Styles of
Documentaries – Expository
Expository: They set up a specific point of view or argument about
a subject. Often a narrator speaks directly to the viewer which
draws attention to the relationship between the images on screen
and verbal commentary
Example: City of Gold – Dir. Colin Law and Wolf Koenig
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGxHHAX1nOY&feature=emb
_title
They are great for storytelling and conveying a message to the
viewer as it is very direct and straight foreword. The visuals with
the commentary make it easy for the viewer to understand the
message being told to them. This is for educational topics where a
personal experience could be involved as it creates a bond
between the viewer and the person in the documentary, making it
more empathetic.
5. +
The 6 Different Styles of
Documentaries – Observational
Observational: they focus on observing the world around them.
They give voices to different sides of an issue, getting ‘exclusive’
firsthand footage in both public and private settings
Example: Crisis – Robert Dew
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tZkvhQcZI4&feature=emb_titl
e
They create a sense of realness and truth, allowing people to
connect to those who are powerful, such as country leaders. They
strip back to raw emotion of a particular issue and the real
problems, however it they can be abused to make propaganda or
manipulate the viewer to think a particular thing. They can
manipulate emotions to make the viewer to feel more empathetic
to the subject or against the issue.
6. +
The 6 Different Styles of
Documentaries – Participatory
Participatory: the filmmaker themselves will be in the documentary –
whether its their voice or them physically, they are present. Comes from
the word participate – meaning the filmmaker gets involved.
Example: Inside the World’s Toughest Prisons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H0CgRuMArs
This is the most natural type of documentary as it includes conversations
which are usually scripted but are made in a way that makes them look
natural. There is usually lots of location changes and interviews with
various different people on a certain topic.
The filmmaker themselves will actually get involved with certain activity,
such as staying at prisons, a certain job or sport, or it could be more
research based where the filmmaker documents themselves doing
research into a topic.
7. +
The 6 Different Styles of
Documentaries – Reflexive
Reflexive: Very similar to Participatory, however, the focus
solely on the filmmaker themselves, rather then a subject. For
example, they could be biography films or vlog style video
Example: Louis Theroux – any of his series
Example: Icarus - Bryan Fogel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXoRdSTrR-4
It is about the filmmaker rather then the subject, so the
documentary will reflect them –the title will usually have their
name in the title, emphasizing that it is about them. It usually
includes the filmmaker taking in a certain activity or experience
done by the filmmaker themselves.
8. +
The 6 Different Styles of
Documentaries – Performative
Performative: A type of a documentary that focuses on a
combination of styles whilst including a personal experience or
story to create an emotional connection to the audience, which
triggers an emotional response.
Example: Supersized Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1Lkyb6SU5U
It is also known as the ‘Michael Moore’ effect as he uses this
technique most of his documentaries. He uses personal stories
as a way to construct social truths without having to argue the
validity of his experiences.
10. +
What are Fanzines?
Fanzine by definition – a non-professional and non-official
publication produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural
phenomenon for the pleasure of others who share their interest.
Examples of Zines:
Fanzines can be
made about any
subject. They are
usually about music
but can cover topics
such as art, fashion,
films, television,
comics etc.
11. +
Interview styles:
Narrative – this gives space for paraphrasing about what the
interviewee has said whilst having the raw material at hand to
make direct quotes. Easiest to offer context and analysis.
Conversational – a looser form of formal writing which is
required for most essays. Room to address the reader directly
and the option of using first or second person. Used for class
assignments or magazine articles.
Q&A – displays both the question asked and the answer given
by the interviewee. This gives a basic structure of an interview
and is the simplest to write into a magazine article – although
no freedom for analysis or paraphrasing.
12. +
Pagination
Unlike video editing, where things can be shuffled around last
minute, fanzines require pagination. This is when each page is
planned out carefully before production. It allows the editor to
understand how much space they have for an article and have
a clearly planned out project from start to finish.
This means that when using software like InDesign, the work
isn’t broken up or shifted around as when printing print, it can
be off line or out of place.
This will be extremely helpful during production as I will have
already have thought out the structure of the fanzine and have
the blue print to hand when constructing the fanzine.

real body. These popular
creators are making
certain body types
‘trendy’ making it seem
you cant be beautiful or
‘you’ without having that
body type.
Body image and representation on
social media mainly effects girls as
they are more likely to be judged
about their weight as people are
more likely to comment on it,
telling them they are not attractive
and a man doesn’t like it.
Because of such
demanding standards,
comment sections on
social media platforms
such as TikTok have
been filled with back
handed compliments
such as “you’re so
brave” or “I wasn’t
hungry anyway” making
it normal to comment on
a person’s weight and
insinuating they would
go to many lengths to
look like them.
People who are
comfortable in their
weight can be seen as a
threat because society
doesn’t like it when
people are happy with

Studies have shown that

always equal happiness.

Main points
False reality – happiness, body image, family life, lots of

The 30 – Year – Rule
30 years after a decade, it comes back into style, happened with the
80’s and it now started with the 90’s
Music trends, fashion trends, things are going in reverse
Keeps happening at the start of each decade
19. +
The 30-Year-Rule
Trends in music – radios started
playing 80’s music, it was even in
the pop charts.
Pop artists started to create music
which could pass as 80’s music, for
example – uptown fuck (mark
ronson) Trends in tv and films –
80’s themed shows ie
stranger things, the
goldbergs, glow, films
such as submarine, the
rack pack, edie the eagle
All made 30 years after
the decade itself, fuelling
the popularity of the
trends in the decade.
American Horror Story –
1984 – made in 2018/19
Everything Sucks – set in
the 90s, Dazed &
Confused – set in the 70s,
made in the 90s
Fashion trends, double denim,
volumized hair, double denim.
People started wearing 80s
sweatshirts and windbreakers
started getting more popular.
Brands such as Nike brought
back old style trainers back into
production after a demand for
them again – Cortex. The design
of their products also reflect the
decade – shell material, large
blocks of colours, jackets made
in the same pattern as they did in
the 80s.
Crimped hair has also made a
comeback into society, making it
popular to buy and style their hair
like they did in the 80s
Interior design trends also
reflect this rule. Making the
styles of sofas that were
popular coming back, whilst
also using the same bright
colour patterns and chunky
plastic looking furniture.
90s trends coming back
recently, fashion and music,
following the trend. In the
80s, there was a surge of

Why?
Why is the 30-year-rule a thing?
As people get older, things from their teen years make them feel good as it
reminds them of when times were good. Psychologist have done studies
that show that “Nostalgia is experienced as an overwhelmingly positive
emotion. It as the effect of boosting one’s mood as well as increasing a
sense of meaning in life” – study done by David Ludden Ph.D. other
studies have shown that the music you listen in your teen years stay with
you. This is because people are reminded of the times where they have
little to no responsibility in life and they were typically the happiest. Both
these studies reflect the 30 year rule.
Take a person who was 13 in 1980, they are now 40 years old. This
means they spent their entire teen years in the 80s. Hearing old songs or
seeing new fashion trends would take them back to their teen years,
making them want to keep listening to this music. This is the 30-year-rule
in motion. People going back to their teen years many years after they
have experienced it.

The Medium of Music Videos
How music videos can effect the ways that people think of a song
vs the singer.
Different visual concepts used in the videos and how they can all
be different
Rise of streaming – platforms like Spotify have introduced short
videos which can be put on the song cover
Singers now release a single with a video, rather then just a song
They can be a series – Fall Out Boy – The Youngblood Chronicles
– which fall on from each other – full albums.
24. +
The Medium Of
Music Videos
Music videos allow an artist to
visualize their song for their
fans, which could change a
entire songs meaning
completely. This can give the
song more meaning and adds
the impact of what the singer is
actually saying. i.e. FKA Twigs
uses her videos as an art form
to convey the utter raw
emotions in her songs.
Due to the rise of streaming
platforms such as YouTube,
which is the second most
popular search engine after
Google, music videos have
been made accessible to
everyone. This means that the
music videos can bring in lots
of income to an artist, making
them really important to an
artists career.
Music videos allow artists to be creative with
their songs and make something that
representative of that song or create an art
piece. For Example, Fall Out Boy created the
Youngblood Chronicles for their album Save
Rock and Roll. This gave their fans an 11 part
visual experience of their album, creating a
storyline that the fans could follow.
It is now expected of an artist
to release a single with a
partnering music video along
with it. This builds up hype for
the song and for the visual
experience, almost like 2 big
releases. For example singer
Ruel and Gracey released a
single together early this year
but release the music video
the day after the song came
out, drumming up even more
excitement to see the song
visualized.
There are different
types of music
videos which can
be used:

Charts (age 16) with ‘Royals’, since Tiffany in 1987 with “I Think
We’re Alone Now”
She has had complete control in all her projects since she started
in music, because - “Everything that’s put out with my name on it
should be representative of me and what i want to do as an artist,
as opposed to what some dudes in a room think is going to make
a lot of money.” – direct quote from article

“Lorde's work is distinctive in that it is written by her and for her: a
document of the nuanced fabric of one adolescent's reality that
has resonated universally” – quote
On songs like "Liability," she stripped back the veneer of self-
deprecation and detachment to immerse herself in the sincerity of
rock-bottom insecurity. A teenager might rear back from it, but as a
newly-minted adult, Lorde is ready to sit with it, stand back up and
move on, acknowledging that those feelings exist but not letting
their weight anchor her in their depths
She is able to make songs that relate to certain subjects which
both her and her audience can feel on an emotional level, no other
artist has been able to creating these songs like she has.

Participatory documentary style, where the host sits and talks
about the certain subject, done in a way that appeals to the
viewers.
A mixture of footage and graphics used to give a visual of the
point being made, this breaks up the documentary, to keep the
viewer interested and makes it less boring, as its not only one
scene.
Short, quick, fun video, making it easy to watch. The quick
commentary makes it enjoyable for viewers.
Very informative and I perfect for the target age group that they
intend to attract – secondary school age.

Observational style documentary about an age group in a
certain city
Very pointed documentary, very specific subject which would
appeal to the audience. With this, it could appeal to older
generations and younger generations.
Hits lots of different people, breaking up the documentary into
different parts as it shows different stories of various 16-year-
olds in London.
Very quick paced documentary, keeping the watchers attention
as the location/ focus changes.

Fanzines brought the rise of music journalism
Chatty almost informal style of journalism, people say its like
talking to a friend because the reader and writer both share a
common interest at the same level, so fanzines are able to
have more chatty, relaxed articles, as it is more personal then a
magazine.
Done by fans for fans – no big publishing management or
marketing strategy team – just passionate fans writing about
their favorite musicians or interest.
38. +
When they started
Fanzines were created in the 1930s by science-fiction
fandoms, taking the name ‘fanzine’ which is short for ‘fan –
magazine’, which later became just ‘zines’.
Sci-Fi zines were the most popular category of zine until the
70s when music zines took over, due to the development of
machinery which made it easier for zines to be created. It was
mainly punk music zines, created in mainly London, Los
Angeles and New York.
By 1993, over 40,000 zines were being printed in North
America alone – most of them about music and politics.
39. +
Fanzines nowadays are usually online and can be in the form o blogs,
Instagram, Twitter or Facebook accounts dedicated to a celebrity or
YouTube shows. Fanzines have had to adapt to the rise of social media
and technology. This means that they have changed format slightly, as the
information they once held can be found in a simple Google search.
The audience range is similar, however is its now younger, as more
younger people have access to the internet. Most of these accounts are
ran by 14-18 year-olds and can have thousand and thousands of followers
– thus it can be classed at a fanzine, only in a different format.

Sniffin’ Glue and Other Rock’n’Roll
Habits
Sniffin’ Glue was a fanzine created
in July 1976 and went on
production for about a year.
The name was inspired by a
Ramones song ‘Now I Wanna Sniff
Some Glue’
It was all about punk bands in the
70s, including articles, pictures and
information about upcoming gigs or
events.
42. +
Everyzine Everyzine
Everyzine Everyzine is a fanzine
created by fans of the band
Everything Everything. It is an
online fanzine, found on Yumpu.
It includes photos, fan comments,
articles, fan art and QR codes
which allow access to covers or
songs by the band.
It is a long fanzine – totaling at
148 pages, which is a lot longer
then a usual fanzine is.
43. +
Riot Grrl
Riot grrrl is a musical genre and feminist punk movement, which inspired
the production of many fanzines which followed this movement.
Zines such as Jigsaw, Twinkle Eye Fizzy, Starlet, Riot Girl London,
Aggamengmong Moggie, Vaginal Teeth, all followed the riot grrl
movement.
It started in the early 90s as a feminist movement which inspired women
to make a change. It stared in Olympia, Washington by a small group of
women who wanted to start a ‘girl riot’ against sexism in their city. The
movement spread to over 26 countries. It combines punk music,
feminism and politics.
A zine Radical Cheerleader Handbook used radical, controversial art to
create a shock factor to draw in young women into the movement.
46. Task 2: Idea Development and Planning U9 2.1
You could create a mood board of images related to your product. They could be inspirational or visually
interesting. Analyse what you have gathered.
Decide on content and think about how you will structure your piece – consider the conventions of your
chosen style/genre, think about the best methods to appeal to your audience.
Finally work out a production schedule for the project. Once you have a final proposal, begin to plan how you
intend to realise your project and what you will need to create/collect.
Planning will vary depending on if you are doing a web series, podcast or a fanzine.
Web-series: A script, storyboard, organisational docs and clearance forms for your contributors/sources.
Fanzine: Content outline, visual style, pagination, organisational documents.
Podcast: Script, organisational docs, clearance forms for your contributors/sources.

Content
At 12-years-old, she signed a development contract with Universal Music Group
where she wrote songs and music.
In the space of 2 years (2012-2014), she released ‘The Love Club’ EP on
Soundcloud which got so much attention it was able to purchase less than 6
months later, she released a full length album, was the youngest person to reach
number 1 on the Billboard charts is over a decade, her singles Royals won her a
Grammy for best solo pop performance and song of the year, making her the
youngest person in history to receive that award in both categories, she had a
sold-out North American tour and even performed with Nirvana, Royals also won
best rock video a the MTV awards, making her the first woman to have won that
award. She also created the soundtrack for the film The Hunger Games:
Mockingjay part 1.
She then took a 3-year break, both from the public eye and music. But in 2017,
she made her comeback with her single ‘Green Light’, which was received with
positive criticism. Her second album ‘Melodrama’ was nominated for Album of the
Year in 2018, but sadly lost. For the Grammys in 2018, Lorde wore an iconic
dress which supported the #MeToo movement which supports women who came
out about sexual assault. This dress caused many articles to be written and
controversy throughout the music industry.

56. Production Schedule:
Week Planning
Week One The first week of production, I will focus on
writing all the text needed for the entire
fanzine – this could be articles, fan opinions
etc.
I will also start collecting photos and fan art
that I can use for the zine.
Week Two Before I even start production, I will make
sure I have a full blueprint of the entire
fanzine that I can follow in the second
week.
This is when I will start to put the fanzine
together, inputting all the the articles and
photos into the right places etc.
I will also focus on colour using the colour
schemes from my mood board.
Week Three In the final week, I will take this time to
brush up any last minute editing and
checking to see if the fanzine is in the
correct order and any double page spreads
run smooth.
58. + Primary Audience research
Asking this question was pretty vital for my
project as it helps me understand if my
chosen colour scheme fits with what my
audience thinks.
It was a tight win by dark colours – only by
9%, which is the equivalent of 1 person.
Even though the category only ‘wins’ by a
small percentage, it helps me to know an
understand that the audience think of dark
colours when it comes to live music,
meaning when I use pictures from live
performances, the colours surrounding that
page should be darker rather then lighter.
Doing this in my product will appeal to my
audience, as it means I have listened to
what they think of when watching live music,
this means that when they read the part of
the fanzine which is about live performance,
the colour scheme of dark colours will let
them make that connection in their head,
making them think of their gig experiences.
59. +
Primary Audience research
The results to this question
confirmed that the topic I had
chosen was the right sort of thing
that people wanted to read. It
showed me that people do in fact
want to read about their favourite
artist.
3 people did say no, but
considering the fact that the
opposite view got over 50% more
votes, it cancels out the people
who voted no, as I will focus on
the 70% who voted yes.
It also tells me that the audience
like actually reading articles,
meaning I can infer that I should
include multiple articles in my
zine.
60. +
Primary Audience research
The answers to this question helps
me understand what the audience
prefer structurally when reading a
magazine. This also means that I
can base the structure of my fanzine
around the preferences of my
audience. This also means that I
can include fun graphics matching a
colour scheme to surround the
selection of photos, it also means I
can fill up a few of my 12 pages with
photos.
It also matches my prediction from
the audience, a being a member of
the target audience myself, the
answers I would put for these
questions are similar to the ones I
am getting.
61. + Primary Audience research
I needed the answers to be able to plan out the
structure of my fanzine, as it helps me
understand what the audience like when reading
a magazine. This means I can include this into
the blue print of the fanzine in a way that
appeals to the audience.
For example, having the answers to the ‘Why?’
question allowed my audience to say why they
think structure is so important. Being able to
read these answers and see what the audience
find annoying when reading a magazine – e.g.
when a photo is placed in the middle of an
article, or when the paragraphs are split clearly
enough or if the structure isn’t aesthetic, it can
make reading it discomforting or not enjoyable.
It is important that I considering these factors
when planning out my fanzine as it could effect
the appeal to the target audience.
62. +
Primary Audience research
This is also helpful to understand the
type of journalism the audience
prefers. This will be helpful so when
it comes to writing the articles, I know
that the audience prefers a more
relaxed, chatty style, rather then a
more formal, focused style of writing.
It means I can plan my articles a bit
more loosely, as it isn’t as important
for it to be a formal article. It also
makes the article more personal to
the reader, as it makes it feel like
your are talking to a friend, rather
then being told a lot of information.
63. +
Secondary Audience research
Large block text –
one word name of
the fanzine ,
keeping it simple
and easy to
remember and
design
Short, little bits of
information explain
what is in the zine,
without lots of detail.
Matching font to the
title, only more
compressed and
thinner, this makes it
look neater and keeps
consistence throughout
the cover.
Price on the front,
very small price (it
would usually cover
printing costs)
Block colours used for
a simple design. It is a
simple yet effective
design – bright
colours are eye
catching to the
buyers.
The colours against
the neutral
background
compliment the design
making it ‘pop’ more.
64. +
Secondary Audience research
The contrast between red
and black and the neutral
background make the
cover stand out to the
buyer, drawing attention
using bright colours. The
red connects the emotion
anger or passion which
could link to the subject of
the zine.
Small graphic on the
front, which breaks up
the cover from
different subjects,
probably created by
spray paint and
stencils.
It’s a very loud cover –
there is lots of
information on it,
contrasting from the
cover before which was
more simplistic and
orgnised. The chaotic
layout of this zine links
to the subject of punk
music which is known to
be quite loud and
chaotic. This would have
attracted buyers more
as they would find it
more appealing to them.
65. +
Secondary Audience research
No colour –
probably due to the
high printing costs
and accessibility.
Obscene title which
would attract their
target audience as
the punk music
scene was known
for being crude and
outrageous.
Putting the names
of bigger bands to
draw in all different
fan bases to buy
their zine. This will
bring in a range of
music listeners
which would benefit
the zine as there
would be more
buyers.
Including deals for
physical albums which
would appeal to the
buyers as they could
save money –
especially since the
fanzine itself is only
20p.
67. +
Day 1
Foe the first day of production, I created the layout for the front and back
cover of my fanzine, I took extra time with these as it would be the first
impression a reader would have when choosing to buy a zine. The cover
is the most important factor when buying a magazine, so it is important
that I take extra time to plan out the layout and colour schemes used for
the cover.
To create the front cover, I used pictures found of Lorde from the same
concert, meaning that the lighting and colour was similar to each picture.
This keeps consistency on the front page, not having loads of different
colours, which would make it look out of place.
After researching physical music magazines, each copy usually have a
picture for a tour of a certain celebrity. Considering that my magazine is
mainly about Lorde, for the back cover I created a mock tour poster
inspired by her original poster. I changed it into my style, by cutting her
body out and layer two others which were slightly off set which created a
blurred effect. I used the style of writing the original used but I altered it
slightly so it fit with my style.
68. +
Day 2
During day 2, I finished up the back cover of my fanzine and started an
experiment with a parallax moving picture. Because I am creating a digital
fanzine, I have decided to include a parallax picture in my digital copy and if I
decide to create a physical copy, I will use the original picture instead of the
parallax.
The parallax image has allowed me to develop my skills more with
Photoshop and Aftereffects. This will pay off when it comes to editing more
pictures into my fanzine. I found it quite easy to create and will definitely
practice creating them so I can use more complex ones in my FMP or future
projects. With this still fresh in my mind, I cracked on with creating an
experiment for the parallax I will use in my digital copy of my fanzine. For
this I did a simple cut of Lorde and kept the background the same. I then
took it into Aftereffects and did a 3D bounce rotation, showing off the layers
in the animation. I then took it to Premiere Pro to crop the video and put it on
a repeat which worked smoothly.
On InDesign, I created the structure of my fanzine and added both the cover
and back page. This gives me the time to plan out the other pages and write
the articles.
69. +
Day 3
On Day 3, I took a break from creating pages and decided to
start on the articles that would go inside the article. I decided
that I would have 2 main articles then have smaller blocks of
information around the pages. The subjects are, a brief history
of her career and an interview style article with a fan.
I wrote the articles on a Word document first, then when the
time comes, I will add it onto the pages. This gives me the
opportunity to adjust the shape of the pages before I have
created them, just in case the article is too long or too short.
I used all the information I found in my research to help me
write the article, so that it would fit in with the project.
70. +
Day 4
On this day of production, I focused on getting the structure of the pages ready to add to
the InDesign file.
I managed to complete pages 4/5 and pages 6/7, whilst planning out the next few pages,
which I will do tomorrow. This means that my zine is coming together nicely, however I do
need to make sure that I have work that can be done in college. I am really enjoying this
project and so far, I haven’t had many problems with the production stage.
On pages 4/5 is the first article, matched with a few pictures. When writing the article, it
cover one side of an a4 piece of paper in size 10.5, so I got a bit worried that it wouldn’t fit
on the zine as it would be too long, however I was able to size it down and fit it in nicely
across the two pages. I used a gradient for the backgrounds which sampled colours from
one of the photos I used, to keep the consistency with the aesthetics. I made sure that I
used the same gradient across the two pages so when they are next to each other, the
gradients are the same and they fit together nicely.
On page 6/7 there is a double page spread of fanart which I found. This was easy to make
as it breaks up the two articles with pictures, which doesn’t block up the whole zine with
just writing about Lorde. This was also nice to make as it showcases real work done by her
fans which wouldn’t usually be scene in a normal magazines, but short zines like to include
this work to give the fans a platform to show their talents.
71. +
Day 5
On this day I made sure I had completed both articles and
edited them onto the pages which they would be on.
By the end of the day, I only had 2 pages left to edit. However, I
have decided that I will go over each page and re-edit them to
match the aesthetics more and improve it more. I like the way it
is turning out, but it just needs a bit of perfecting.
I decided that I would change some of the aspects in the
original fanzine so it would match up with the other parts more.
This would show development in my work throughout the
project. However, there were still some pages that I wasn’t
quite happy with, so I will probably shift those again.
72. +
Day 6
I finished editing all the pages and constructed a first copy of
the fanzine in InDesign. This allowed me to see the final thing
in the correct structure, which meant I could also evaluate
which pages needed redoing and which ones fit nicely.
In conclusion, I decided to re-edit five pages: page 2,3,4,5 and
11. I found that these pages didn’t look right with the rest of the
fanzine and should be readjusted.
73. +
Re-adjustments:
For page 2, I changed the structure of the advert. The original
copy was too relaxed and didn’t have much structure to it which
made it hard to read. I liked the background and the choice of
font, but I had just positioned everything weirdly and thought it
would look better if it had more structure to it.
Original Re-worked
74. +
Re-adjustments:
For page 3, I changed the background colour, as I found that
the original copy was far too dark and looked out of place with
the lighter pages. This made the page fit a lot better. I also
changed the font, as I didn’t like the original and thought the
newer one made it look more smart.
Original Re-worked
75. +
Re-adjustments:
Similarly, to page 3, I found that the gradient I had used for the
background in page 4 didn’t fit with the rest of the other article
of the fanzine. Granted, the different articles have different
subjects which could change their aesthetics, but I thought it
would look smarter if they matched.
Original Re-work
76. +
Re-adjustments:
Again, for page 5, I found that the gradient was far too dark,
and if I were t change page 4, I would have to change page 5
as well as it is a double page spread.
Original Re-work
77. +
Re-adjustments:
For page 11, I only really changed the name of the event and
the font I used. I’m not a big fan of this one after the re-work, so
I will probably change this again, until it fits nicely and I like how
it looks.
Original Re-work
78. +
Day 7
When I had finished all the pages, I exported the pages into the
InDesign file, however when it came to exporting the InDesign
file, I struggled with getting the pages to show up when
exported. After a few attempts, I found that I had to export the
pages a different way by packaging them together then
uploading the spreads onto Issuu.
I like how the final product came out at the end. Since I still
have a few days of production, there is still time to change any
pages around, if I decide that they don’t work.
79. +
Day 8
After finishing the fanzine for the second time, I realized that it
needed to be changed a bit more, so I changed up some of the
pages a bit more dramatically.
Here are the changes I made:
80. +
Page 3
For this rework, I wanted to keep consistency from the style of the cover into
the fanzine, so I changed it using the same style. I think it fitted a lot better
into the overall fanzine and it followed my research that I had done.
81. +
Pages 4/5/6
For these pages, I changed the colour of the background, so it fit
with the colours in the pictures and so I could use red boxes to
make the pull quotes standout from the background. I think that the
newer pages fit better then the ones before, it also allowed me to
use more pull quotes and I could utilize more space.
82. +
Page 7
I added this page so I could keep consistency of the cut-out
effect that I used on the cover and for the contents page. It
also made a nice graphic to break up the focus from articles.
83. +
Page 8/9/10
Similarly to the first article, I shifted the structure. I changed
the single picture of Lorde to a bigger graphic which looked
better as it fit in more then the original page.
84. +
For this project I feel as though that I have pushed myself
creatively, however I think that I could have pushed myself
even more to create a better product. I could have followed the
influence of a proper 70s fanzine and go wild with the editing
and all-round aesthetic of the zine.
I redid the fanzine multiple times which shows my progression
of creativity and the evolution of the project itself. I liked the
cover I created and as I developed the zine more, I found that I
went back to the cut-out style which kept more consistency
throughout the entire project.
