This document discusses key concepts in documentary filmmaking such as accuracy, balance, impartiality, objectivity, subjectivity, bias, and representation. It provides three examples of controversial documentaries: "Super Size Me" which examines the health effects of a fast food diet and is shown to be biased, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" which investigates electric vehicles and their lack of adoption and is opinionated, and "Trouble the Water" which uses survivor interviews to accurately portray Hurricane Katrina.

The document provides guidance for a group of students making a documentary on how young people are portrayed in the media. It discusses challenges such as getting interviews, maintaining balance and objectivity, following regulations, and respecting privacy. It recommends learning from examples like "Supersize Me" and "Aileen, Life and Death of a Serial Killer" to handle these challenges appropriately.
Documentary Collections
This document discusses documentary collections, which involve banks carrying out instructions to pay for goods under financial and commercial documents. There are two main types: documentary against payment (D/P), where the buyer does not get goods until paying, and documentary against acceptance (D/A), which allows a credit period. For exporters, documentary collections ensure payment before releasing goods, though buyers could refuse documents and banks assume no risk. For importers, they ensure shipment of goods before requiring payment. The process involves instructions between remitting, collecting, and presenting banks according to international rules.
Styles of Documentary
The document outlines six styles or modes of documentary film as developed by theorist Bill Nichols: poetic, observational, reflexive, expository, participatory, and performative. Each style is defined by its particular traits, conventions used, and relationship to subject matter. For example, a poetic documentary emphasizes personal expression through techniques like music and camera work, while an observational documentary aims to be a neutral, fly-on-the-wall perspective.

This document discusses key concepts in documentary filmmaking such as accuracy, balance, impartiality, objectivity, subjectivity, bias, representation, privacy, and connecting with viewers. It analyzes three controversial documentaries:
1. Capitalism: A Love Story criticizes banks for not using their money to help people, showing bias as the director tries to make a point people can relate to.
2. Super Size Me examines the health effects of fast food, with bias as the director aims to show fast food is killing people in ways many don't know.
3. Who Killed the Electric Car? questions who decided electric cars are a bad idea, presenting an opinion as the film tries to make a
Research issues facing producers of factual programming and
The document discusses several key principles for factual programming: accuracy, balance, impartiality, objectivity, subjectivity, opinion, bias, representation, privacy, and access. It provides definitions and examples for each, with many references to the documentaries "Supersize Me" and "Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer" to illustrate the concepts.
documentary analysis
The three documentaries discussed have different styles and purposes:
- "Inside the world's toughest prison" is a participatory Netflix documentary where the host experiences life inside harsh prisons to show viewers the cruel conditions inmates face.
- "Blackfish" uses the tragic real-life deaths of people at SeaWorld to take an expository, fact-based approach arguing animals should not be kept in captivity for entertainment.
- "Supersize Me" has a participatory style where the host eats only McDonald's for a month, experiencing health effects firsthand to persuasively show viewers the dangers of such a restricted diet.
Influence - The Psychology of Persuasion
This document summarizes Robert Cialdini's six principles of persuasion: 1) Reciprocation - people feel obligated to repay favors; 2) Consistency - people want to be consistent with their past statements/actions; 3) Social proof - people follow the actions of others; 4) Authority - people defer to experts; 5) Likeability - people are more influenced by those they like; and 6) Scarcity - things seem more valuable when rare or unavailable. These principles represent fundamental human instincts that marketers can leverage as "weapons of influence" to increase compliance and sales.
factandopinion-211028055933.pptx
This document discusses the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are objective statements that can be verified, such as statistics or events. Opinions are subjective judgments that people believe to be true but cannot be proven, such as evaluations or predictions. The document provides examples to illustrate facts and opinions and questions to help determine whether a statement expresses a fact or opinion. Experts can provide informed opinions based on their research and experience in a field, but opinions are still subjective beliefs rather than absolute facts.

Documentaries and conventions
This document discusses several techniques used in documentaries including:
1) Using facts and information to inform viewers about serious topics.
2) Capturing actuality or genuine reactions without scripts for a fly-on-the-wall effect.
3) Employing voiceovers to guide viewers and explain situations while potentially leaving them to reflect.
Research issues facing producers of factual programming
Our documentary aims to discuss weapons used in World War 1 in an impartial and balanced manner. We must be careful not to appear biased as English filmmakers on this topic. To ensure accuracy, balance, and impartiality, we will represent both sides of the argument equally without inserting our own opinions. We will also respect the privacy of any interview subjects and get permission for what we discuss on camera. Examples like "Supersize Me" demonstrate the importance of avoiding bias, while "Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer" shows respecting privacy in interviews.
Theory of documentaries
Documentaries aim to report factual information using evidence such as actual footage or narration. They can cover political, historical or social issues. John Grierson first coined the term "documentary" in 1926 to refer to documenting real people in real situations. While documentaries strive for truth, they involve some interpretation and elements may be staged for effect. The line between documentary and fiction has blurred over time, leading to debate around their objectives and techniques.
logical-fallacies3765.pptx
This document discusses various types of logical fallacies that can weaken arguments. It defines and provides examples of 9 common fallacies: hasty generalization, faulty causal relationship, slippery slope, circular reasoning, black and white thinking, red herring, loaded questions, misleading use of statistics and false authority, and bandwagon. The document emphasizes analyzing arguments for logical validity and soundness rather than emotional appeals or false assumptions.

Genre analysis
The document discusses different types of documentaries including fly on the wall, fully narrated, mixed, self-reflexive, docudrama, and docusoap. Fly on the wall documentaries use cinema verite to capture natural settings but editing affects what is shown. Fully narrated documentaries use voiceovers to provide context. Mixed documentaries combine interviews, observation, and narration to advance an argument. Self-reflexive documentaries have the filmmaker discuss the process. Docudramas reenact real events but can only deliver fiction. Docusoaps follow groups of people like reality shows.

This document provides an introduction to bioethics. It defines ethics as concerning right and wrong and morality. Bioethics is important because historical events like the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment showed that scientific progress requires ethical guidelines. The document discusses principles of bioethics like beneficence, non-maleficence, and autonomy. It also explains that resolving ethical issues requires open-minded consensus based on reasonable debate between stakeholders, not majority opinion or isolation. Overall, the document outlines what bioethics is, why it is important, and basic approaches to addressing ethical problems.

M4MH Mansfield - October 23, 2018
This document summarizes an event at Ohio State University at Mansfield called "Movies for Mental Health" that used short films and discussions to address issues of mental health and stigma. The event began with introductions and ground rules. Attendees then watched and discussed several short films depicting experiences of mental illness and stigma. They considered how characters with mental illness are portrayed, how stigma feels, and barriers to seeking help. A panel discussion afterwards featured student experiences as well as professionals from counseling, advocacy, and mental health organizations. The goal was to promote awareness, understanding, and support around issues of mental health through film and open dialogue.
Cognitive Biases in Bariatric Surgery: The Strange Case of the MGB
This document discusses a survey of bariatric surgeons that showed those performing mini-gastric bypass (MGB) surgery answered questions about gastric cancer risk, surgery outcomes, and costs correctly more often than surgeons not performing MGB. However, many surgeons overall demonstrated lack of knowledge about these topics. The document suggests cognitive biases may be impacting surgeon decision making and recommends recognizing fallibility in human judgment to make more rational decisions.

Marking overview- A, M, E for MEST 3.5 and 3.6
The document provides guidance for students designing a media production project. It outlines the requirements to achieve different levels - Achieved, Merit, and Excellence. For Achieved, the design must meet brief requirements and show evidence of refinement. For Merit, design choices must engage the audience and create a convincing design. For Excellence, effective design choices must command and capture audience attention for a compelling design. It then provides examples of techniques used in documentaries like Supersize Me and Blackfish to establish authenticity, engage audiences, and achieve different levels. These include use of interviews, settings, footage types, storytelling, juxtaposition, and more.
Media Theory and Theorists for G325
The document provides guidance on using media theory and theorists in coursework for a media studies course. It lists several relevant theorists grouped by area (genre, narrative, representation, audience, media language) and briefly summarizes some of their key ideas. It emphasizes that students do not need to deeply explain theories, but should be able to apply and discuss how useful theories are for understanding their own work or case studies. Examples are given of how to properly cite and reference theorists in assignments.
Wv upreso
This document discusses experimenting with new models of community-funded reporting and collaborative journalism. It encourages trying new ideas like networked reporting, data-based journalism, and partnerships between professionals and amateurs. The key aspects are transparency in the journalism process and community participation and control over content. The overall message is that many new ideas should be tested through an iterative process of experimentation and failure, as journalism adapts to the internet age.
Theory of documentary2
This document discusses the theory and definition of documentary films. It begins by explaining that documentaries portray real topics through actual footage and reconstructions. While documentaries contain real footage, some scenes can be staged, making the exposition less truthful. There is debate over how much creative treatment is acceptable in documentaries while still capturing reality. Key figures like John Grierson introduced principles of documentary making but his early films still contained staged elements. The central elements of documentaries are identified as observation, interview, dramatization, mise-en-scene, and exposition. However, documentaries are not purely factual and allow for social commentary and audience interpretation.
Research.pptx
This document discusses statistics on gym membership demographics and how they will inform the filmmaker's documentary project. The statistics show that 30.90% of gym members are aged 18-34, so the filmmaker will target their documentary at young adults. The document also discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has motivated more people to prioritize their physical and mental health through exercise. The filmmaker plans to film their documentary at a gym in Sheffield to interview employees and show how busy the gym is at different times of day. They will use a participatory documentary style where they directly engage with the audience by discussing their own gym-going experiences and journey.
Use Your Super Powers
The document discusses consumerism and unrealistic standards of beauty promoted by marketing. It notes that having too much stuff leads to unhappiness, overspending, and debt. Competition is encouraged to boost sales, while cooperation is better for people. Most women do not feel beautiful or comfortable with their appearance due to narrow media definitions of beauty. The document encourages resisting buying into hype, speaking out against offensive messages, and focusing on inner beauty and strengths rather than physical appearance. It provides tips for using "super powers" like talents to help others, dealing with bullying, and building confidence and resilience in daughters.
Media studies the theory of documentary
Documentaries aim to document real events and provide factual accounts using evidence like interviews, reconstructed scenes, and observational footage. They tell a story through a narrative structure including an exposition, complication, and resolution. While documentaries strive for objectivity, they involve some degree of construction and interpretation in areas like editing, framing of shots, and narrative approach. The line between documentary and creative work can be blurred, as filmmakers must balance authenticity with storytelling techniques.
Task 4A Documentary Modes
The document summarizes 5 common documentary modes:
1) The poetic mode uses subjective techniques to create a particular mood through undeveloped characters and events.
2) The expository mode establishes an objective, explanatory voice over footage to persuade viewers.
3) The observational mode allows viewers to interact naturally with the documentary through no voiceovers.
4) The participatory mode features formal interviews where directors interact with subjects.
5) The reflexive mode shows expressive, anti-realist techniques to interact with audiences emotionally and directly.
Task 4A Documentary Modes
The document summarizes 5 different modes of documentary filmmaking:
1) The poetic mode uses subjective techniques to create a particular mood rather than developing narrative or characters.
2) The expository mode uses voiceover narration to explain and argue a point of view in an objective tone.
3) The observational mode allows the viewer to interact with natural, unaltered footage without voiceovers.
4) The participatory mode features formal interviews where the filmmaker interacts directly with subjects.
5) The reflexive mode uses expressive, anti-realist techniques like dramatic music to interact with audiences emotionally.

South African Journal of Science: Writing with integrity workshop (2024)Academy of Science of South Africa
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
