The document discusses the history of sound in film from the 1890s experiments linking sound and image to the introduction of talking pictures in the late 1920s. It addresses some myths, noting that while silent films did not have synchronized sound, they were often accompanied by live music or lectures. Early sound-film experiments had issues with synchronization and amplification. The Jazz Singer in 1927, which featured both silent and spoken sequences, is considered the first "talkie." Warner Brothers helped drive the transition to sound by partnering with Western Electric on the Vitaphone sound-on-disc system due to losing small town audiences to automobiles. Technical challenges included noisy cameras, insensitive microphones, and ensuring smooth 24 fps projection without jerkiness.

Social Networks and Data Portability using Semantic Web technologiesAlexandre Passant
This document discusses using semantic web technologies to enable social data portability and merging social networks across different platforms. It proposes allowing users to invite friends from one social media service to another new service, and to move a user's data and content from one service to another. This would be achieved by representing user profiles and social connections using common vocabularies and ontologies so that data can be easily shared and merged between sites that support these standards.
This document introduces SIOC (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities), an ontology for representing user-generated content and activities on online communities, and MOAT (Modeling Online Authoring and Tagging), which extends SIOC to provide a common model for social media contributions (SMC) like blog posts, wiki pages, and pictures. SIOC provides semantics for modeling online communities and enables querying social media data using SPARQL instead of APIs.
This document discusses how social music platforms can utilize Semantic Web technologies like FOAF, SIOC, and MOAT to represent user identities, social connections and relationships, and semantic tagging of music.

The document also provides examples of conventions for genres like short films and social realism to help students analyze how their own work conforms to or challenges typical conventions.
Critical reasoning involves seeking alternative explanations and endorsing positions justified by available information. Critical thinkers present positions honestly and clearly while determining the structure and focus of arguments. When analyzing arguments, one identifies premises, conclusions, assumptions, and the overall argument structure. A premise provides reasons for a conclusion, while an assumption must be true for the argument to be valid. Strengthening an argument confirms its assumption, while weakening it challenges the assumption. Paradoxical questions explain discrepancies in seemingly contradictory information.
The document provides a history of early camera technology, beginning with toys and magic in the pre-history era.

This document provides information about an "Audio Culture" module taken over two semesters. It outlines the learning outcomes, which involve skills in digital audio production and dissemination as well as understanding debates around audio's role in culture. There are two assessments: a portfolio of audio analyses worth 50% and an audio production project worth 50%. The portfolio involves analyzing four audio pieces in terms of production, audience and context. The production project involves creating a significant audio work negotiated with tutors. The module will examine sound in the contexts of radio, music, film/TV and new media.
The document discusses elements that help define media genres including characters, tone, locations, sound, editing, framing, and exposition. It provides examples of how these elements are used in different genres like news, game shows, children's programming, and documentaries to help produce and sell media products by explaining them to audiences and forming contracts with expectations.
This document provides guidance on pitching documentary ideas. It emphasizes that a pitch must grab the commissioning editor's attention with a great story and succinct presentation. Developing a strong pitch takes research on the audience, style, subject matter, and institution. The pitch should be tailored to the expected audience and genre conventions. Thorough research is important to justify creative and production decisions. A good pitch concludes with an elevator pitch that summarizes what the viewer will get from the documentary in 30 seconds or less. Practice pitching and receiving feedback are important skills. The document then lists groups and tutorial timeslots for providing pitch feedback.
This document provides a history of broadcasting in the UK from the early 1900s to present day. It discusses the development of radio broadcasting by the Marconi Company and the BBC in the 1920s. The BBC was established to provide programming to serve all audiences. In the 1950s, commercial television was introduced in the UK, led by ITV, which was primarily advertiser funded. Today, both the BBC and ITV have public service broadcasting remits but utilize different funding models, with the BBC receiving funds from television licenses and ITV generating revenue from advertising.
This document discusses different forms of regulation for media including legal, official, cultural, self, and economic regulation. It provides examples of media regulatory bodies in the UK such as Ofcom, ASA, BBC Trust, BBFC, and PCC. It also summarizes a case study about a Heinz deli meat advertisement that received complaints but was never officially banned or pulled in the UK.
- The BBC had a monopoly on broadcasting in the UK pre-WW2 and through most of the 1940s, focusing mainly on radio. Commercial television was introduced in the 1950s through the new Independent Television Authority (ITA) to provide competition to the BBC and allow advertising-funded broadcasts.
- The Pilkington Committee in the 1960s recommended that ITV should be reorganized and the BBC given a third channel, leading to the launch of BBC 2 in 1964. Further reports looked at introducing more channels, resulting in the launch of Channel 4 in 1982 and satellite broadcasting by BSB and Sky in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
This document discusses genre theory and how genres are used to classify and analyze media texts. Some key points:
- Genre refers to types or categories of media texts that share common conventions, themes, and patterns.
- Genres act as signifying systems that provide paradigms or templates that media texts can draw from. This allows for a "contract" between producers and audiences about what to expect.
- Individual texts may demonstrate generic elements while also differing from other texts in that genre through hybridity or innovation.
- Genres are not static but rather develop and change over time through combinations with other genres or becoming obsolete. They frame audience understanding and require cultural knowledge to recognize.
The document outlines the learning outcomes and assessments for a module on media institutions, which will use lectures and seminars to explore issues affecting the contemporary media landscape such as ownership, globalization, and technological changes, assessing students through group presentations and individual podcast/video productions.
This document outlines an introductory lecture for a media production course. It introduces the instructors and has the students do a quick icebreaker exercise. It then discusses the learning outcomes, which focus on developing critical analysis skills and understanding the relationship between theory and practice. It emphasizes that theory is important for production work and should not be seen as just reading. It explores what constitutes media texts and the importance of analysis. It also discusses aesthetics, media literacy, and where producers draw their influences from such as literature, art, and other media. It stresses the importance of having breadth beyond just technology.
Sound is omnidirectional and omnipresent, with qualities like timbre, level, and continuity that must be considered when recording. Unlike light, sound dissipates quickly on a logarithmic scale. While background noise, echo/reverb, and distortion cannot be removed in post-production, effects like additional background noise, echo/reverb, music, foley, and sound effects can be added. When recording audio, it is important to consider the space for booms, record as clean and flat as possible while monitoring, and re-shoot if needed. Using clappers and consistent microphone placement and techniques are essential for continuity.
This document discusses several aspects of globalization and Latin music. It addresses how Latin music became more influential in the late 1990s due to artists like Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin. It also discusses how salsa music negotiates issues of identity and how media can help preserve traditions but also lead to innovation and formation of new identities. The document provides context on the French rap group NTM and how rap was adapted in France to address issues of inequality, racism, and imperialism through rebellious discourses.
