Communication Skills for the Creative Media Industries - Research

For our TV show our decision right away was for it to have a comedy genre to it as these are usually always very popular TV shows regularly watched by audiences. So I researched into some comedy TV shows that were successful in there show, one of the most popular ones that was the 5th most watched TV show in 2015-2016 was the big bang theory a very well-known TV show that is shown on channel 4, it has around 20 million viewers world-wide and makes around $1 million per episode.


I went to the libary to get some secondary data on my TV show idea this helped for me to come up with my idea. From the information gathered we will be using broadcasting it on all TV sets possible this means Freeview, Sky and Virgin this maximises out viewers. In the media book it talks about convergence, I think that we could but our show on some computer networks for example netflix.
The primary networks in the US that we could broadcast are ABC, CBS, NBC these are the biggest in the US and have the biggest audience, any of these would be a great choice for our show.
We need to make sure that we are trusted by the companies as networks do not normally take chances on unproven talent so we would have to show examples of our shows or go with a smaller network first. As in the book the main way to hook new audiences is with good advertising so posters, website videos/banners and TV trailers will all be helpful for our TV show.
By looking at the information here it says that "cable television gains a wider access" as this is true it would benefit us if we put our show on cable TV.

We did our powerpoint on google docs so that we could work all at once.

Animation Assignment 1

Persistence of vision Persistence of vision is the term given when a series of single discrete images are taken together when they are played at a certain speed (frame rate) they give the illusion of movement. the speed is measured in frames per second the lowest average frame rate is 12 frames per second if the frame rate is lower than this then the clip will appear less smooth and will look more like single images than a moving video, the professional English frame rate for stop frame animation is 24 frames per second whilst the American professional frame rate is 29.97 frames per second, this higher the frame rate the smoother and more fluent the clip will be however it does shorten the duration of the clip as it is sped up more. an example of persistence of vision is Eadweard Muybridge's moving horse this is not actually a video but is a series of images sped up to make it look like a video. here is the video of the animation.

Production File Week 8

Image
Production File The clear main theme this artist has with his music is a underwater, sea and fish theme I think it matches his style of music really well and therefor should definitely be included in the logo and CD cover. This means I should use the colour blue as its main theme colour of the logo and cover. I think using some under water animals will also go well in either the logo or the cover as he uses this in his videos. Also the band name being "Prawnshocker" I could use his band name in the logo and cover, maybe using prawns (an underwater creature) or the word shocker use this to go into the logo. I will be using Adobe Photoshop as this I think is the most suitable for this type of project. For my first idea I will be using the idea of having several lightening bolts surrounding sea creatures, I think my best bet would be to use prawns for the title, then the logo will match the title perfectly. I will probably go with a blue and orange gradient background so ...
