FILM AND TELEVISION

Primary Research

I carried out a survey and found out what people's favourite consoles are, their favourite genres of games and how often they play them. Also finding out if they play games regularly or not.

I studied that the PlayStation 4 is the most popular console within my group of research.

First person shooters were the seconds most favourited genres, while following first was RolePlaying games.

I studied that people play games regularly on average four to five times a week, whenever they have free time.

Secondary Research

From watching an interview called “E3 - Weird gamer guy (Original)” on YouTube I studied that peoples favourite types of games were RolePlaying and Strategic. People are excited about games that they would wait on average three hours to queue up for a new game.

    Questionnaire

Are factual shows important to you? Why?

Yes they are, as they teach me facts about subjects I wouldn’t of known, such as Q.I, watching this makes me learn something new every day

Do you research the facts the show provides?

If I don’t believe what they just said, then yes I do

How often do you watch a factual show?

I watch factual shows very often, maybe three times a week

Do you enjoy factual shows?

They’re my favourite shows

What is the reason for watching factual shows?

So I can learn new things and understand what’s happening in the world

From studying this questionnaire, I’ve learned that factual shows are a big part of people’s lives, as they enjoy them because they learn new things each day and understand what’s happening in the news. This helped us create our show GNN (Gaming news now) as it’ll teach people different facts about the games and also tell the audience when new releases will be around. So we’re updating them on games.

As I’ll be directing this show. It is important for me to make sure the cameras are set up correctly, lighting is good and the set is placed where it’s supposed to be while also making sure the camera know where they’re facing and when they need to interact.

SCRIPT

Charlie: Hello and welcome to the first instalment of Gaming News Now. Today we will be discussing some of the major news being put forward in Gaming.

(Roll Title Credits)

Charlie: The biggest story this week is the announcement from Xbox to start working towards Cross-Platform play. This will allow a whole range of gaming fans, (Xbox, PS, PC) to be able to buy a range of games and be able to play with everyone, no matter what they own.

Charlie: Everyone is okay with the idea of Xbox and PlayStation working together, but people aren’t quite sure how PC players will be able to integrate with the consoles. What do you guys think about the idea of Cross-Platform?

(WAITS FORT THEM TO ANSWER)

Charlie: As the moment we have been told that it is only Rocket League, and small indie games that are in development for this step. So we could be seeing gaming come to a whole new level within the next 3 years. Profits will go up for the gaming industry and it will mean a lot more people being open to the idea of involving the opposite platform.

The likeliness of this happening for the AAA titles, such as, CoD, Fifa, GTA, Destiny, being open for everyone. This won’t happen for the next few years as they want to let people get used to the idea first, therefore leaving it until the next set of consoles are released.

(ROLL GRAPHICS)

Charlie: The next news story is about the HTC Vive. Everyone knows about the Oculus Rift as the first Virtual Reality Gaming Headset. But now other companies have released their own, upgraded versions. For example, the HTC Vive and the PlayStation VR.

The Vive costs around £350, whereas the Oculus Rift costs £419. The quality of the Rift has been bad over the years, whereas the new releases of the Vive and VR have shown a full 1080P HD Quality spectrum. The rift has also been known to make the users feel very nauseous when they are using it for a long time whereas the other two have not shown these side effects. Would you pay more money for something that’s been well tested or less money for better quality?

(WAITS FOR THEM TO ANSWER)

Proposal

Sky

Seeing the bigger picture is part of our business strategy, and reflects our Believe in Better  ethos, our commitment to constant renewal and improvement in everything that we do. Over the last year, Sky has grown considerably, with the acquisitions of both Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia. We now employ almost 30,000 people and reach 21 million customers across Europe. While this growth provides great opportunities for our business, it also comes with greater responsibility. Our approach to building a durable business for the long term remains the same – making a social and economic contribution, acting responsibly day to day, and reaching beyond our business to inspire action and make a positive difference. Over the coming year we’ll be building on the initiatives already in place and will continue to align our approach across the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria and Italy.

Netflix

Our core strategy is to grow our streaming subscription business domestically and globally. We are continuously improving the customer experience, with a focus on expanding our streaming content, enhancing our user interface and extending our streaming service to even more Internet-connected devices, while staying within the parameters of our consolidated net income and operating segment contribution profit targets.

My own company name

My own company name would have to represent what I intend in creating e.i corporate video’s for mass amount of unique companies for their employees.

The company name would be Imaginatio Production as it’s Latin for Imagination, which would be relevant because all of our production videos would all be made with aspiration and imagination.

Our company's mission statement would be:

To impress company’s aspirations with our imagery and ambition for us to assist them for their future of the company.

Slogan

Ambition has no limit.

Key skills to have for a corporate video production

• Communication
• Good with numbers
• Negotiating
• Imaginative
• Ambitious
• Aspirational
• Editing techniques on Premiere Pro
• Drawing skills
• Welcoming
• Understandable

Limitations

A big limitation was the budget that was spent on travel. I had to work extra shifts at work in order for myself to be able to afford the travel. London Gateway was a construction site, so the safety of staff was in our care and their protection. We did this by insuring them they’re wearing the correct equipment for safety in the construction site.

We managed by communicating with the client effectively and fluently so we reached their needs and the needs of their health and safety. We organised a timetable for us to interview members of the company who have an important role towards London Gateway and how they keep the profession of being sustainable.

We grew a strong relationship with the client by emailing them regularly and getting every question answered and vice versa. Emma was our main client in the business, she organised the timetables and saw who was available to be interviewed for their corporate video. Emma updated us on changes towards the appointments and gave us a warm welcome once we arrived at London Gateway.

SoundCloud

SoundCloud is an online platform for users to stream or download tracks for free. SoundCloud consists of artists work, and other remixes from either the artist or different unique users. The users are unique because each of them are different as they upload different tracks that they've made or even tracks that they remixed. This is a good way to get out there in the music industry as a producer could come across an unique user, if they like what they hear, they could contact them, as SoundCloud connect the users with other social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. If you create an account, you can upload tracks easily with a hyperlink right next to the search bar which isn't hard to miss.




With SoundCloud, as this is only for mp3, you can't upload a .mov file or a .JPEG file.
You can follow your favourite artists and keep up to date with everything single or album they release. While clicking on their banner, this redirects you to iTunes, where you can buy the artists album for them to make a profit for their career.
You can't customize your account too much as everything is restricted. The only thing that can be customized is would be your description box, user name and profile picture. Everything else is set to default. Soundcloud is ranked 159 most used website in the world.

Vimeo 

Using Vimeo you can upload videos to advertise your work as a portfolio but cannot add blogs or written statements. This is only a .MOV format. With vimeo you can also design your own layout but if you buy the vip access, if you're using the free version of Vimeo, customization is extremely limited within Vimeo as everything has a set default layout, while you can add your user name, profile picture and your description box. Using Vimeo you can add short films, documentaries, anything that uses .MOV file and a subject that you specialise in with that format. For example if you make fashion shoots, you can advertise your fashion ranges. This is a good portfolio to get your work out there, but this isn't good enough to show your creativity through your layouts and design ideas which could compliment the work you wish to present. Vimeo is ranked 193 most used website around the world.


These are the main file formats used to upload video onto a website. As I'm talking about Vimeo, Youtube follows the same formats as they're both video based. This creates flexibility with the filmmaker as they can upload in a file which would best suit them.

Blogger

You can view your page views which improves in knowing who your audience is. While also easy access to your post through editing mode where you can update posts or save them as drafts so you can improve them later. Also viewing your blog is easy to find as there link is in bold.

While using Blogger you can add imagery, text and video. You can label and organise your work so everything is easy to find when your Portfolio gets too big. Blogger is also used to create your own layout and design on your blog, you can use their default layouts and tweak them around, or you can change the HTML coding to have the website exactly as you wish. You can link up your Vimeo with Blogger as you can upload your videos from Vimeo and talk about them on blogger and assess your own work, while doing this, Blogger gives you the opportunity to link up all your social networking so everything is connected and producers or professions in the industry can find it extremely easy to get in contact with you. Blogger is mainly uses for writing blogs, which can be important so you can update the viewer with updates about your work and also talk about your works and evaluate it you can still upload .JPEG and .MOV files, while also you can connect links to Youtube video or other websites that are important for your work. Blogger is ranked 70th most used website around the world.

My Portfolio 

It's easy to navigate this website while not logged in, or without creating an account. So you can easily judge if this is the portfolio that would best suit you. As it's free to start using this website this good with people who don't choose to create a budget so this makes it easily accessible.

From researching different portfolio based websites and comparing the differences, I come across a website known as PortfolioBox. This unique website is mainly used for Photographers, Designers, Artists, Stylists, Models and Architects. You can sell your own work while also advertising your work to show off to potential clients and practitioners. This would suit be best as I can customise my portfolio is whatever layout I choose, so I can make the layout compliment my images that I'll be uploading. As this is mainly used for the Arts and Design side, this would be perfect for me to create a Photography portfolio.

Audience

As I can use the tool to create my own layout and colour correct it to however I choose, using a creative design that will compliment my images by staying the same theme. This would attract audiences from all over the industry from models, to clients. They could look at my portfolio and want me to be their photographer for their business or models could want me to help them create their own portfolio. Using this portfolio based website will give me masses of opportunities to gain contacts and clients. I'll keep the portfolio updated, keep it attractive and make sure it's easy to find all of my details in order for someone to contact me. While also updating my audience on future photo shoots that could happen and also could create my own fan base.

What Will It Show?

I'll be showing images from all different styles and uses from personal to commercial, from landscape to contemporary. Also updating and creating my portfolio will also help me acknowledge my own style of photography which would be a lot helpful with creating my audience. Making updated blogs on my work will also interact with the audience and make them feel engaged with my work and other clients to see if I'm busy for them or not. This would be helpful so clients, models, architects, or anyone would know what I'm doing so they wouldn't feel left out of my work. Creating this portfolio would also advertise myself in order for me to gain contacts and respect within the industry, also becoming recognised.
