This document discusses the history and elements of radio dramas. Radio dramas were popular in the 1930s-1950s as they relied on narration, dialogue, music and sound effects to tell stories without video. By the late 1930s, radio dramas were widely popular in genres like mysteries and soap operas. After television was introduced, radio drama popularity declined in the US with most being cancelled by 1960. Key elements of radio dramas included narration to set the scene, dialogue between characters, music to transition between scenes or set mood, and sound effects to establish the environment. With podcasting, radio dramas have become popular again as they can be created and distributed easily.

Documentaries do not simply present reality, but construct a particular interpretation of real events and issues. They use techniques like narration, footage selection, and film style to influence viewers in certain ways. While documentaries aim to inform, educate, or persuade audiences, viewers also expect them to be grounded in factual events and present information objectively.

The key methods are one-to-many transmission models using transmitter towers, satellites, or streaming over the web to reach small local areas or nationwide/global audiences on demand or in real-time.
Diegetic and non diegetic sounds
Diegetic sounds originate from within the scene and are naturally occurring, like character voices or object sounds. Non-diegetic sounds are added in post-production and don't originate from within the scene, like narration, music, or amplified sound effects. The distinction depends on the audience understanding of natural versus added sounds, and diegetic and non-diegetic conventions can be used to surprise audiences, as in comedies. Footsteps in a chase scene would be non-diegetic and recreated/amplified in post, to create a sense of panic for characters fleeing. Background music is also non-diegetic and meant to represent the teens' lives in the full film.

In pre-production, the sound mixer scouts locations to identify acoustic issues. On set, the production sound team, including boom operator and mixer, records dialogue and effects. Additional dialogue may be recorded later in ADR. In post-production, dialogue is edited and effects/Foley are added. Music is also composed or licensed. Finally, a re-recording mixer combines all sound elements into the final mix. Throughout, the goal is to capture high quality sound that enhances the story without drawing attention.
Austen on radio
The document discusses the conventions and techniques of adapting Jane Austen novels for radio drama. It explains that radio relies heavily on dialogue, sound effects, music and voice acting to set scenes and advance the story in place of visual elements.

Non narrative radio
Non-narrative forms in radio include soundscapes, cut-up techniques, and sound art which aim to challenge conventional perceptions by manipulating or omitting narrative elements. They draw influence from theorists like Freud who saw dreams as accessing repressed ideas. Pioneers included MacColl's Radio Ballads which used songs, sounds and speech without narration. Experimental radio flourished in the 1970s through non-commercial and pirate stations allowing more artistic freedom. Techniques borrow from literature and use themes, field recordings, and sound installations to engage listeners through sound alone.

Finally, it considers subgenres of film scores, competition from other film music magazines, cross-media uses of scores, and potential futures including more electronic scores and merging of instruments/effects in software.
History of music videos
Music videos began as short films that accompanied songs in theaters since that was the only way for the public to view them. The first example was Bessie Smith's "St. Louis Blues" in 1932. Tony Bennett's "Stranger in Paradise" in 1954 was the first music video shown on television, allowing greater public access. MTV launched in 1981 and was the first channel dedicated to music videos, promoting their growth and use for marketing music. Advances in technology have enabled music videos to now be widely viewed online.

Attack the block pre production issues
Attack the Block is the directorial debut of Joe Cornish, who drew inspiration from being mugged himself. He cast mostly unknown actors, including John Boyega, in the lead roles. The film has a relatively high budget of £13 million for a British film, which investors were willing to provide given Cornish's experience in television and the science fiction element making it appealing to wider audiences. The soundtrack was composed by Basement Jaxx and received positive reviews for how its electronic sound blended with the film's chaotic pace and helped add elements of fear and suspense.
Theatre in the early 20th century
Theatre in the early 20th century saw its origins in ancient Greek traditions but evolved through Shakespearean plays, the rise of film, and Broadway musicals. Key developments included Shakespeare authoring famous works like Romeo and Juliet, the emergence of major Hollywood film studios in the 1920s which popularized cinema, and Broadway establishing itself in New York City featuring stars and composers that are still influential today.

The history of music videos
A music video is a short film that integrates a song with imagery, often used to promote music sales. Early precursors included illustrated songs in the 1890s and musical short films in the 1920s-1950s. Modern music videos emerged in the 1950s-1960s as promotional clips for television. In 1981, MTV launched and began playing music videos 24/7, driving their popularity mainstream. Through the 1990s and 2000s, music videos evolved as a major marketing force and artistic medium, though their role has diminished with new formats like YouTube emerging for online viewing.

Propaganda
The document defines propaganda as the manipulation of public opinion through persuasively presenting new opinions. It describes common propaganda techniques such as word games like name-calling and euphemisms, false connections using transfer or testimonials, special appeals to plain folks or fear, and logical fallacies like unwarranted extrapolation. Specific examples are provided for each technique to illustrate how propaganda works to influence audiences.
Early Italian Renaissance
The document discusses the Italian Early Renaissance, which occurred in Florence from 1400-1479. It was a period of rebirth fueled by a return to learning based on classical Greek and Roman texts. Artists such as Lorenzo Ghiberti, Filippo Brunelleschi, Masaccio, and Donatello pioneered techniques like linear perspective and created highly realistic works that captured human emotion, moving art toward naturalism.
Public Service Announcements
A public service announcement (PSA) is a short advertisement broadcast on television or radio that raises awareness about public issues without charge. PSAs aim to modify public attitudes and educate the public on issues like smoking, gambling, or environmental issues. They are intended to encourage specific actions by the public that benefit society.
Print Public Service Announecments
PSAs are messages broadcast through various media to raise awareness about issues and influence public attitudes. They are intended to educate the public on issues without charge. PSAs first emerged during WWII through the War Advertising Council and helped promote the war effort. Since then, high-profile PSAs have addressed issues like smoking, forest fires, drug abuse, and more. Effective PSAs target a specific audience, have a clear message or goal, provide contact information for relevant organizations, and use memorable tag lines.
Radio Public Service Announcements
Public service announcements (PSAs) are messages broadcast on television and radio to raise awareness about issues and modify public attitudes without charge. PSAs were first used during World War II and have since addressed topics like smoking, drugs, forest fires, and more through memorable slogans and campaigns run by non-profit organizations and government agencies. The goal of a PSA is to encourage a specific behavior change or action through an engaging message targeted to a particular audience.
Linear Perspective
Leonardo da Vinci described three aspects of perspective in painting: 1) the size of objects diminishing with distance (linear perspective), 2) colors changing farther from the eye (atmospheric perspective), and 3) less detailed finishing of distant objects (atmospheric perspective). Filippo Brunelleschi is credited with developing linear perspective around 1425 using a single vanishing point. Perspective techniques include the horizon line, vanishing points, orthogonal and transversal lines, diminution, foreshortening, one-point, two-point, and three-point perspectives, and atmospheric perspective to convey depth.
Shape
A shape is a two-dimensional area that stands out due to its defined boundary or changes in color, texture, or value. There are two main types of shapes - organic/curvilinear shapes that are irregular and often asymmetrical, and geometric/rectilinear shapes that correspond to regular shapes like squares and circles. Shapes can also be classified as positive if they contain details within the outline or negative if they are just an outline without internal details. Shapes may also be symmetrical, where dividing the shape down the middle results in identical halves, or asymmetrical.
The Photographic Essay
This document discusses the elements that make up an effective photo essay. It explains that a photo essay tells a story through a sequence of photographs rather than words alone. It can have either a narrative or thematic structure. Key elements include a range of high-quality photographs that show both information and emotion, effective ordering, and descriptive captions. The types of photos discussed are lead photos, scenes, portraits, details, and clincher photos. Together, these elements and photo types allow a photo essay to convey its message powerfully through images.
Decoding Photographs
This document provides guidance on decoding photographs through a four-step process: describing factual details and subject matter, analyzing visual clues and composition, interpreting meaning and message, and evaluating significance. It includes examples of applying these steps to historical photographs of child newsboys taken by Lewis Hine, highlighting details like locations, times, ages, and contexts around child labor. The overall message is that photographs reflect their cultural contexts but require active interpretation.
Objective vs Subjective Analysis of Photographs
The document discusses the differences between objectivity and subjectivity in analyzing photographs. It states that objectivity involves analyzing the visual elements of a photo like its subjects, setting, and composition, while subjectivity involves interpreting the photo based on one's own thoughts, opinions, and the potential intentions of the photographer. It provides examples of both objective traits like a photo's location and elements of art, as well as subjective questions about the mood, feelings, and message conveyed by a photo.
Digital Photography Manual Exposure Controls
The document discusses the basics of digital photography, specifically the exposure triangle of ISO, shutter speed, and aperture - it explains that ISO controls the camera sensor's sensitivity to light, shutter speed determines how long the shutter is open, and aperture refers to the size of the lens opening which controls how much light enters the camera. The relationships between these settings, depth of field, motion blur, and over or underexposure are covered.
Texture
Texture refers to the visual or tactile surface quality of an artwork. Physical texture can be felt, while visual texture can only be implied. Impasto is a painting technique using thick layers of paint to build texture. Texture is created through changes in value or the repetition of shapes and lines, allowing artists to represent different materials like Van Gogh's thick paint or Lichtenstein's comic imagery.
A Beginner's Guide to Capturing Motion
This document provides guidance for capturing motion in photographs using different shutter speeds. It explains that slower shutter speeds will blur moving objects while faster shutter speeds freeze motion. Various techniques are covered such as panning with a moving subject, freezing an entire scene, and digitally merging multiple photos. Tips are provided like determining the proper shutter speed based on the speed and distance of the subject, and addressing potential issues with excess light entering long exposures. The overall aim is to help beginner photographers learn how to convey movement through intentional blurring or freezing of objects in their photos.
Depicting Time With Photography
Eadweard Muybridge and Harold Edgerton were pioneers in using photography to capture motion. Muybridge conducted famous experiments in the late 1800s using multiple cameras to prove that all four hooves of a galloping horse leave the ground. He later invented the zoetrope, an early animation device. Harold Edgerton advanced this work in the 1900s by capturing motion too fast for the naked eye using strobe photography. Both influenced later motion picture technology through their innovations in depicting movement through series of photographs.
Theories of Photographic Composition
The document discusses 10 compositional theories of still photography: 1) Rule of Thirds, 2) Leading Lines, 3) Strong Diagonal, 4) Point of View, 5) Framing, 6) Simplify, 7) Depth of Field, 8) Strong Foreground, 9) Fill the Frame, and 10) Active Space. Each theory is defined and an example photo is provided to illustrate it. The document concludes that properly applying these compositional techniques can transform a ordinary snapshot into an extraordinary photograph.
Elements of Art and Principles of Design
The document discusses the elements of art (line, shape, space, value, texture, color) and principles of design (emphasis, balance, unity, contrast, movement/rhythm, pattern/repetition). It provides definitions and examples for each element and principle. The purpose is to help artists and photographers understand the basic building blocks of visual composition and how to combine elements purposefully using principles to create a more powerful artwork.
A Timeline of Television Technology
The document outlines major milestones in the development of television and broadcasting technology from 1923 to 2012, including the demonstration of early camera tubes, the first long-distance TV image transmission in 1925, Farnsworth's electronic TV system demonstration in 1927, the first commercial TV broadcast by NBC in 1936, the introduction of color TV in 1953 but it did not become standard until the 1970s, the first satellite broadcasts in 1962, the introduction of home video recorders by Sony in 1976, the development of HDTV by Japan in 1981 which was accepted by the FCC in 1996, the first internet broadcast by ABC in 1994, DVDs becoming commercially available in 1998, and Blu-ray and HD DVD being introduced in 2004 with Blu-
Value
Chiaroscuro is an Italian term meaning "light-dark" that describes the use of strong contrasts between light and dark to define volume. It is commonly used by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio. A value scale ranging from white to black, with middle gray in the center, can help artists see and draw values by comparison. High key artwork uses lighter values while low key artwork uses darker values, with accents providing contrast. Tenebrism uses high contrast for a dramatic effect by focusing on light and shadow. The value of different areas of a 3D object help define its form, with cast shadows being darkest and full light areas brightest.
Camera Composition and Movement
This document defines various camera shots including close-up, medium shot, wide shot, and long shot. It also discusses techniques like headroom, noseroom, and the rule of thirds for framing subjects. Finally, it lists different types of camera movements such as pan, tilt, zoom, and dolly.
A Brief History of Early Photographic Technology
The document provides a brief history of early photographic technology from its inception through the 19th century, including these key developments:
- The camera obscura was invented around 330 BCE but it was not until the 11th century that Alhazen was able to explain why the images were upside down.
- In 1826, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce produced the first permanent photograph by exposing an image onto a chemically coated pewter plate for eight hours.
- Louis Daguerre's daguerreotype process, introduced in 1839, used a camera obscura to expose Paris street scenes for only 10 minutes and produced highly reflective images on silver-plated sheets of copper.

History of Radio Dramas
- 2. What is a Radio Drama? A dramatized audio performance, broadcast on radio or published on audio media, such as tape or CD. Because there is no accompanying video, a radio drama depends on narration, dialogue, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the characters and story.
- 3. History of Radio Dramas By the late 1930s, radio drama was widely popular in the United States (and also in other parts of the world). There were dozens of programs in many different genres, from mysteries and thrillers, to soap operas and comedies.
- 4. Decline of Radio Drama After the advent of television, radio drama never recovered its popularity in the United States. Most remaining CBS and NBC radio dramas were cancelled in 1960.
- 5. Elements of a Radio Drama Narration Music Dialogue Sound Effects
- 6. Narration In most radio dramas, the narrator laid the ground work for the show. Listen to the opening narration for The Shadow, which ran from 1937 to 1954.
- 7. Dialogue The function of dialogue in radio drama is: to give information reveal character direct attention (or foreshadow) reveal theme establish the level of reality establish the tempo and rhythm of the drama Normally only two or three characters are involved in a conversation and they repeat their names often.
- 8. Music To identify the program Every show had a theme that was instantly recognizable. To create a bridge, a short three or four measure musical connection between scenes. To underscore dialogue, as in a movie, creating a "dramatic" mood.
- 9. Sound Effects Used to establish the environment.
- 10. The Radio Drama Today With the advent of podcasting, Radio Dramas have once again become a popular medium of communication.
- 11. Benefits of Podcasting Podcasts are easy to create, cost little to no money, and can be produced by anyone. There are no restrictions on the length or content of a podcast.
