The document describes the various media technologies and software used at different stages of creating a documentary project. In the planning, research, and evaluation stages, technologies like Powtoon, Prezi, Emaze, and Visme were used to present information in an engaging way. Questionnaires and focus groups were conducted for primary research, while secondary research utilized online sources like YouTube. Communication with experts occurred through email, social media, and phone calls. Hardware like cameras and audio recorders were used. Production involved software like Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and InDesign. A blog documented the entire process.
My final evaluation task for A2 Media Studies. This evaluates the software I used in order to produce the Magazine Cover, Poster and Teaser Trailer for my coursework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. PRESENTING RESEARCH ON THE
BLOG
To present our research we used a range of software in order to make the information
more interesting than using just word and PowerPoint. To do this we used powtoon,
visme, prezi and emaze which are all PowerPoint style software which makes it easy
to present information in an interesting way additionally, these software's present the
information clearly. We also used word and PowerPoint but in smaller quantities and
put these on our blog using slide share.
Our blogs are all on blogger, another way we posted on here was through the use of
sound cloud where we was able to upload audio clips and YouTube for our production
diary. We used our production diary to keep an up to date log of what we did so that
we was therefore able to track our process.
4. HOW WE GATHERED RESEARCH
We gathered our primary research through the use of questionnaires which we then
analyzed on excel and power point to put onto the blog. We also conducted focus
groups which we recorded on an audio recorder. We used sound cloud to put this
onto our blog.
For secondary research we used the internet which allowed us to watch previous
documentaries, YouTube clips, find statistics and facts all into our chosen
documentary topic.
5. COMMUNICATION
Another way we gained research into our topic was through expert interviews, to do
this we used a range of communications to get hold of experts for example; Twitter to
message beauty bloggers, Gmail (Email), Tyber (a college emailing system),
telephone calls to department stores and beauty companies and we also tried to
message Mac through their contact us section on their website and also in a live chat
with a Mac representative who explained how she was unfortunately unable to help
with that type of enquiry. However, we were able to gain the information we needed
from the two expert interviews we did get.
6. HARDWARE
We used a camera to get images for our listings magazine article and to look into shot
types within the research stages. The audio recorder was used to record our focus
group and radio trailer. Smart phone to ring up different companies for research
purposes and also the computer and macs for getting all our work on to the blogs and
putting it together.
7. PREMIERE - DOCUMENTARY
After putting all of our recorded clips into premiere we started to build them up in the
time line of the premiere software. This soft ware also allowed us to edit and crop our
clips until we had the right footage in the timeline for our documentary. Also on this
software we were able to create a time lapse as inspired by the Connie Fisher
documentary that we watched and blur some footage that we were able to put
statistics on top of.
8. ADDING PHOTOS TO DOCUMENTARY
To add in photos to one part of our documentary we had to insert them then change the
size of them placing them where we wanted them on the clip. However we wanted
them to appear individually so had to have them all on different rows on our timeline so
we could therefore have their length different to create the effect of them coming on
one by one to slowly fill the screen with images. We gathered the images from Google
that were all relative to the theme of our documentary. We felt this was a successful
technique to portray our documentaries theme of beauty.
9. AUDIO LEVELS
We had to alter some of our audio levels through the documentary in order to ensure
that they were all to the same/similar level. To do this we used the Audio Gain Tool
which allowed us to heighten or lower individual sound levels by Db. We aimed to get
all our sound levels between 12-18 to ensure they were all equal. When watching
back through our documentary we noticed some sound levels were not equal so went
back to change these to ensure the highest quality in the final version of the
documentary.
10. TEXT IN THE DOCUMENTARY
To add text over the top of expert interviews including the name and who the expert
was we had to add text to the documentary. This was to help inform the viewer when
watching the documentary. We added text using the text tool with the experts name
being in a larger font than their role. When watching the documentary through in our
preview we noticed that some of the text was too far to the left so was able to resolve
this problem before the final version was submitted.
11. INDESIGN
We wrote the text for our listings magazine article on word. We then copied and pasted
this text into InDesign using a drop cap to start the text. Within the text we also chose to
pull out a few key quotes which we then made larger and the colour of the title in the same
colour theme. We chose to have the text in three columns as this is more visually
pleasing for the reader. On our main image we included background information as this is
key code and convention of magazine articles. We also had the date, time and what
channel our documentary will be shown on in a separate text box from the rest of the text
directly below the title. We chose to do this so that it would stand out and be one of the
first things seen when looking at the article as it is the most important factor.
12. TEXT
For the title of our listings magazine article we used dafont.com and chose the
Amethyst font which we downloaded from the site and added to the fonts section on
InDesign. We chose to do it like this because when screen shoting the font from dafont
we found it more challenging to edit into the listings magazine article. We then made
the font the same colour as the on screen presenters leather jacket, this was to create
a house style and colour theme.
13. PHOTOSHOP - PEN TOOL
As we wanted to include screen shots from the documentary along the top of the left
page on the listings magazine article we needed to use the pen tool so that these
images did not obstruct the face of the on screen presenter in the main image. To use
this tool we had to cut round the shape of the on screen presenters head to remove
this part of the screen shot images. This worked effectively and gave a professional
look to the images on the listings magazine article.
14. PHOTOSHOP - MAIN IMAGE
The original main image we took using the DSLR cameras came out with a very
orange based tone due to the lighting in the photography studio we used. Therefore in
the editing process we had to rectify this, to do this we used Photoshop starting with
the brightness/contrast tool we then went on to use the levels tool to get the image to
a professional looking quality. Additionally, we used the spot healing brush tool to give
a Photoshop finish to the onscreen presenter in the main image.
15. PREMIERE – RADIO TRAILER
We used premiere to create the radio trailer as we were already used to the software
after using it to create our documentary. This allowed us to be able to create the radio
trailer a lot quicker than making it on a software we were not used to. It also meant
we had ideas on different techniques to make the radio trailer better that we learnt
when making our documentary. In our radio trailer we included a exponential fade
using an effect within the premiere software.
16. BLOGGER
To keep a record of our progress we created a production diary on our blogger
account where we uploaded an up to date diary on everything we did in our project.
This included a video diary which we filmed to give an overview of our progress
halfway through the project.
