Social Media: Expanding Pedagogic Opportunities in Film and Television Produc...
Social media has changed the way television and films can be produced. Producers in New York can interactively discuss scripts, storyboards and rough cuts with their contacts in Los Angeles via on-line or via mobile devices and applications. The implications for integrating mobile media technology into higher education curricula and pedagogic methodology are equally transformative. For faculty teaching film and video production, mobile media can provide students with access to an infinite number of resources that exponentially expand what can be taught, how it can be conveyed, and where learning can take place.
At the University of Cincinnati a group of thirty-three students from four academic programs in three different colleges utilized a variety of social media technologies to experience an interdisciplinary class that was "team-taught" by both their UC Professor and professionals from the film and TV industry in LA and NY. Their work resulted in the 2012 Gold Rush Expedition Race documentary, an hour-long film that will air this March on a national cable television channel.

While providing an intimate perspective on the band during this era, the documentary could have further explored the impacts and influences of The Beatles beyond the 1960s.
An AI generation pitch
This document provides an overview of a planned documentary titled "An AI Generation" that will examine the impact of artificial intelligence and technology on the field of graphic design and art. It will explore how AI has led to a decline in handcrafted art and negatively impacted many artists' careers. The documentary will feature interviews with artists affected by AI as well as employees in the AI industry. It will argue both sides of the issue and aim to start a debate around the ethics of AI art generation and data use. The documentary will be paced quickly and use techniques like close-ups and cuts to communicate its message in an engaging way.
AI Research
1. The document discusses the researcher's initial reactions to emerging AI art apps and how they are affecting the graphic design industry. The researcher conducted surveys and reviewed social media posts to gauge public opinions on these apps.
2. The researcher outlines how AI works using large datasets and algorithms to mimic human intelligence. They also discuss concerns that AI apps may be using copyrighted art without permission or compensation to artists.
3. Interviews with artists express worries that AI will devalue creative professions and lower the quality of art. The researcher presents facts about specific AI apps that have stolen artists' works. They consider how AI may impact other creative fields like makeup, costumes, and graphic design.

07.) Evaluation
George Wetton evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of his film project, including initial plans, research, and planning. Some strengths included thorough research covering different media and choosing two sets of survey results. Weaknesses included not having enough storyboards to clearly convey his vision and not planning technical aspects like audio quality earlier. With more time, he would have improved filming quality, included more scenes to explain the narrative, and made it a more professional production.
00.) Grade response
George Wetton received good grades in his first year of study, receiving merits for research planning, production, and evaluation in his First Major Project (FMP). He identifies several areas to develop for his next FMP: ensuring all work is completed on time despite past issues with self-discipline; being more experimental technically; engaging his audience effectively; maintaining a professional standard; and creating something personally meaningful that he cares about. He plans to develop these areas by allowing more time for projects, incorporating feedback, exploring new creative tools, conducting audience research, networking, and planning thoroughly.
Production techniques
George Wetton will use Photoshop for editing photos, designing posters, title cards and other print materials for his project. He will also use it for magazine layout and design. He plans to push his skills with Photoshop further for this project. Wetton will use Premiere Pro to edit video trailers and clips, and may add effects to any music portions. He is confident in his video editing abilities from prior use of Premiere Pro. Wetton will use InDesign for structuring and laying out the magazine, focusing on column layout, image placement and color/texture. Though he finds its setup complicated, he is familiar with InDesign from past use. Wetton will create original music for the project
04.) Production experiments
1. Covid-19 safety precautions and restrictions may impact filming schedules and ability to work with cast/crew.
2. Technical problems with equipment, locations, lighting, or other production elements could delay filming or impact quality.
3. Budget and time constraints may force compromises that affect creative vision or technical quality.
01.) Contextual Research
Tim Burton is a notable film director known for his gothic fantasy style seen in films like Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, and Beetlejuice. He developed an interest in filmmaking as a pre-teen, making short films inspired by Dr. Seuss and Roald Dahl. Burton studied character animation and worked for Disney, producing concept art and animation for films. His first live-action short was Vincent, reading a poem about a boy's dream. Burton was later fired from Disney for the too-scary short Frankenweenie. He met composer Danny Elfman while directing Pee-Wee Herman, starting their long collaboration.
Production experiments script
This document summarizes the author's production experiments for their film project. They tested various filming strategies and methods, dividing their experiments into video, posters, and lighting. They experimented with different lighting setups and locations to influence the aesthetic style of the project. Posters were also created to inspire the visual design and test skills. Videos without narratives allowed the author to experiment with camera angles. Throughout, the author encountered challenges but learned valuable lessons about the production process and adapted their script based on real-world changes. The experiments helped prepare them for the actual film production.
Initial plans analysis script
This document summarizes the initial plans for a student film project. The student has been drafting a book since their first year and plans to adapt it into a script and film. They want to create something personal that will benefit from festival screenings. In addition to the film, the student plans to create promotional materials like posters, trailers, music, and a horror-focused magazine about the film. Creating mind maps and taking notes on ideas, influences, and early planning are important preliminary steps before production.
Pre production analysis script
This document summarizes the filmmaker's pre-production planning process. It discusses creating storyboards, location scouting, drafting scripts, researching props and costumes from the era, exploring font and color design options, and finalizing call sheets. The planning helped bring the filmmaker's ideas to life and make the project feel more organized and realistic in preparation for the production phase.
01.) Contextual Research
George Wetton is deciding on a film project for his final major production. He was initially going to continue with a horror film called "Lost in Communication" that was inspired by his previous project. However, he decided to scrap that idea and do something more experimental that utilizes what he has learned. He considered doing a sci-fi film but felt he did not have enough budget or original ideas. He ultimately decided to make a film adaptation of a book he has been writing so he can establish how the characters may look on screen. Wetton intends to research different directors' styles and techniques to inform his own experimental filmmaking approach. He will focus on elements like shots, mise-en-scene, sound, angles, color

Magazine copy
The document provides an interview summary and questions for actor Peter Harding about the film adaptation of the book series "Target Zone". Some key points:
- Peter discusses his initial thoughts on being offered the lead role of Steve and feeling pressure to take on such a major part. He was originally going to audition for a different role.
- His favorite scene to film was the climactic ending scenes, as he enjoyed doing his own stunts. He also had fun filming cricket scenes which helped develop bonds between castmates.
- The hardest scene was a long soliloquy monologue requiring emotional exhaustion to portray his character's anger and feelings of being robbed of his identity.
