Unit 1 research methods worksheet
- Primary research methods like surveys and questionnaires would be used to understand what the target audience for a new media product would like and find ways to improve the product. This provides specific feedback but is costly and time-consuming.
- Secondary research uses already collected data from sources like magazines and newspapers, which is cheaper and easier to access but could be outdated or biased.
- Qualitative research aims to understand reasons, opinions and motivations through open-ended questions, providing useful insights but being time-consuming to analyze. Quantitative research uses statistical analysis to generalize results to a population but provides less detailed responses.
- For past media assignments, the document author used primary, secondary and qualitative research techniques like the internet,

Students are tasked with analyzing 4 such videos to understand their aims, techniques used, and effectiveness.
Multi camera filming lesson
This document discusses multi-camera filming techniques. It begins by explaining the difference between multi-camera and single-camera filming, noting that multi-camera involves filming a scene from multiple angles simultaneously using overhead lighting, while single-camera takes more time setting up individual shots. The document then discusses advantages of multi-camera for factual TV productions, as it allows getting complete coverage of events in one take without reshoots. Examples of formats using multi-camera include live sports, concerts, debates and awards shows. Finally, it notes documentary filming is sometimes single-camera while studio productions generally use multi-camera to capture multiple presenters and contestants.
Floor managing
Floor managers are responsible for managing the busy studio floor and keeping the live show running smoothly. They communicate clearly with guests, presenters, the director, and gallery to address any issues and ensure everyone is doing their job. As the most senior person on the floor, the floor manager needs to remain in control and use clear, direct verbal and physical communication to give instructions to the crew and make sure the show stays on track.

Fmp workshop
This lesson focuses on continuing to plan and edit the student's short film. The student must identify what creative and organizational planning remains to be completed before filming. Specifically, the student must identify what work is still needed for their filmmaking project, should edit any film rushes in video editing software, and could apply planning and creative skills to complete outstanding tasks. The document provides questions to guide the student in assessing what planning still needs to be done, such as storyboarding, shot lists, scheduling filming dates, and booking equipment. The student is asked to identify responsibilities, remaining planning tasks, unfinished video edits, and any filming yet to be completed along with planned dates.
Sound Design theory recap
The document discusses various concepts in sound design for film including different types of sounds like ambient noise, dialogue, and sound effects. It defines diagetic vs non-diagetic sounds and external vs internal diagetic sounds. It also discusses parallel vs contrapuntal sound and how silence is used in films. Students are tasked with continuing to write an essay analyzing the sound design of at least two scenes from a film by applying these sound design concepts and answering questions about how specific sounds are used to create mood, tension, and realism.
Soundtrack lesson 2
The document discusses how sound is used in film to create mood, meaning, and tension through different sound elements.

Documentary week 5
Documentary has evolved across different mediums. Traditionally, documentaries were consumed through radio broadcasts, magazine and newspaper photography, and films shown on television. Now, the rise of streaming platforms and podcasts has changed where audiences listen to radio documentaries. Photographs are commonly viewed online, altering the relationship between viewers and images. Video on demand has impacted documentary structure by allowing flexible viewing. Emerging technologies like virtual reality now provide interactive documentary experiences through apps and headsets.
Documentary 3: Documentary Forms
The document outlines six types of documentaries categorized by American film theorist Bill Nichols:
1. Poetic documentaries focus more on feelings and mood through images and sounds rather than narrative.
2. Expository documentaries aim to inform and persuade audiences through authoritative narration, often seen in nature documentaries.
3. Observational documentaries observe subjects with minimal filmmaker interaction, giving an authentic first-hand view through a "fly on the wall" approach.
4. Participatory documentaries include the filmmaker who may influence events, raising questions about truth and balance.
5. Performative documentaries share the filmmaker's personal stories in a wider social context, also
Documentary 2: the history of British documentary
1. The British Documentary movement began in the 1920s-1930s led by John Grierson who used documentary films to promote British trade but also showcased working class life.
2. The Free Cinema movement of the 1950s-1960s produced low-budget documentaries that focused on realistic depictions of ordinary people's lives, moving away from propaganda and upper-class focus.
3. Both movements aimed to use film to address social issues and represent everyday experiences, though Grierson and his units also had government promotional objectives at times. They helped shift British films towards kitchen sink realism.
Jump Cuts 1
The document provides information about an upcoming film production challenge called "Jump Cuts". Students will work in small groups to write, plan, film, and edit a 2-minute short film based on the theme of "hunter" that is due in mid-November. They will need to submit pre-production materials like a script, storyboards, shooting schedule. The short film must not contain any dialogue. Students are instructed to come up with 3 simple story concepts and develop a 7-point narrative plan for each during the workshop.
Short film
In this workshop, students will develop concepts for 3 short film ideas through research and apply idea generation strategies. Over the next 3 weeks, they will work in small groups to produce a 2-minute short film based on the theme "Hunter" for the Jump Cuts film festival. Students must submit pre-production documents and their film cannot contain dialogue. The workshop emphasizes keeping ideas simple and realistic given the time constraints.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
