1. In the present day, a lot of people aspire to be in a creative occupation however it is a struggle when you aren’t in a family or know people who can get you into it, no matter the creative ability you have, e.g cultural work in the complex professional era is that many more people seem to have wanted to work professionally in the cultural industries than have succeeded in do so. Few people make it, and surprisingly little attention has been paid in research to how people do so, and what stops others from getting on.
2. David is currently a Professor of Media, music and culture at the University of Leeds.
3. He has wrote books such as Understanding Media: Inside Celebrity (Maidenhead Open University Press, 2005), Media Production (Maidenhead: Open University Press, 2006), Media and Society, 6th edition (New York: Bloomsbury, 2019) and many more.
4. Hesmondhalgh analyses the relationship between media and work as well as the media industry.
5. Applying/getting a job requires luck or a family member to be successful.
6. David Hesmondalgh says that the creative/cultural industry is a risky business.
7. Businesses are divided into three sectors such as production, distribution and consumption.
8. The strategies that minimise the risks are strategies such as the ‘Horizontal integration’ which enables large-scale institutions to achieve scale base cost savings while also allowing them to maximise profits by positioning brands so they do not compete with one another. A second way to minimise the risks is the vertical integration, this is where production, distribution, marketing specialist subsidiaries and media conglomerates can control all aspects of their supply chain while also achieving significant cost saving efficiencies. The final strategy of minimising risk is the multi-sector integration, this is the buying of companies across the culture industry, allowing for further cross-promotion opportunities and the deployment of brands across media platforms.

To what extent do television producers attempt to target national and global audiences box
through subject matter and distribution

distributed by Freemantle, a British production and distribution
company, subsidiary of RTL media, a global company which is
designed to target an international audience

• it is a co-production of AMC Networks, SundanceTV (US) and RTL
Television (German and American), positioning it to exploit the
national and global market

• AMC and RTL were able to develop the series in the context of new opportunities for distribution and exhibition – e.g. the Walter Presents platform in the UK, which is a subsidiary of C4, exploiting broadcast and digital opportunities
•

focuses on German – and European – history and politics
•

the cast of relative unknowns – even in the country of production were still used to promote the series through the focus on young,
visually appealing male and female leads
•

themes and setting are constructed to appeal to an international
audience through the familiar narrative tropes of an ‘innocent abroad’ and the “Romeo and Juliet” romance. The series is visually stylish using a familiar postmodern style which exploits the current popularity of retro styles in fashion and music
•

exploitation of social media; part of the Sundance TV marketing
strategy was the use of historical sliders, live tweeting of the
programme by the actress who played the lead character, playlists of
1980s music linked to Spotify and through Twitter account.

What is the difference between the culture industries and other industries? Show your understanding of PSB in your response.

The concept of “cultural industries” is more related to cultural heritage and traditional forms of creation, while “creative industries” includes the applied arts practices, innovations and generating profit and creation of jobs by creating intellectual property. they have the same basic model production distribution and consumption

What is the meaning of cultural industry?

A cultural industry (sometimes used synonymously with creative industries) is an economic field concerned with producing, reproducing, storing, and distributing cultural goods and services on industrial and commercial terms.

culture industry plays a pivotal role in how people make sense of the world

for example a paper clip can be useful to help out but looking at the news and seeing the war going on and how it affects us personally with food oil etc plays a much larger impact on us personally compared to a paper clip which has no impact but just has a helpful use

public service media – state owned and runs on money given by the people in for of television licensee a yearly tax that pays for the service and then funding is given by the government for example bbc

commercial media – makes there own money through advertisements or subscriptions and have more freedom over what they can produce for example channel 4

transnational media – this is where the product is distributed in multiple countries where as public service media is more location based like bbc for the uk an example of this is Netflix

Public service broadcasting -rfid

what is public service broad casting ?

it is radio television news and other media forms supplied by the government which is payed by us for us rather than privately owned which have a whole range of different media product’s that include everyone

The public service ethos of the BBC is to inform, entertain and educate which is something that we should fiercely protect and fund properly.

we will be looking and studying the language of moving image and how each media form has its own media language and set of rules

and learning the three aesthetic concepts of space size and scale

camera focus

focus can be used to add more effect to the sequence and have a greater impact on the audience by having a important part of the scene in the shot but unseen to then come into focus

i intend to use rack focus to show that the killer is behind the victim

Shot sizes, angles and movements

1. High angle / Low angle / bulls-eye / birds eye / canted angle
2. Tracking / Panning / Craning / Tilting / Hand held / Steadicam
3. Establishing Shot / Long Shot / Medium Shot / Close-up / Big Close-Up / Extreme Close Up (students often struggle with the first and the last again issues with SCALE, SIZE & SPACE, so practice is really important)
4. Insert Shot

i am going to try use a extreme close up shot to show the fear of the victim when face to face with the killer

insert shots

a short clip showing in more detail what the actor is doing or a specific item or action that helps with the narrative and plot of the story

i am going to try use and insert shot to show the killers weapon to add more suspense and to break up the scene

edit

editing is the putting together off all the sequences and is very important to getting the final product

and there is the long lasting question SO IN TERMS OF MOVING IMAGE PRODUCTS WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CAMERA OR EDIT?? as both are needed

But the key question is WHEN TO EDIT ie when is it best to move from one shot to another? The answer is usually found in the following list:

1. EDIT ON ACTION
2. EDIT ON A MATCHING SHAPE, COLOUR, THEME
3. EDIT ON A LOOK, A GLANCE, EYELINE
4. EDIT ON A SOUND BRIDGE
5. EDIT ON A CHANGE OF SHOT SIZE
6. EDIT ON A CHANGE OF SHOT CAMERA POSITION (+30′)

Parallel Editing

The use of sequential editing (editing one clip to another) allows for a number of key concepts to be produced:

1. parallel editing: two events editing together – so that they may be happening at the same time, or not?
2. flashback / flash-forward – allowing time to shift

i would use this when the victim is hiding to cut to her then to cut to the killers looking for her

MONTAGEING

montaging is using multiple shots in quick succession to tell a story in much less time and help understand the plot or backstory of the whole moving image product

i could use this by showing clips f the killers past and what lead him to be the way he is

Shot sequencing

Conventional shot progression – to create VERISIMILITUDE (ie realism, believability) usually involves the following shots (although not always in the same order).

1. establishing shot / ES, moving to
2. wide shot / WS,
3. to medium shot / MS,
4. to close up / CU,
5. to big close up / BCU;
6. and then back out again

this could be used in a chase scene close ups then big shots of area and chasing shots

REVERSE SHOT

The Shot / Reverse Shot a really good starting point for students to both think about and produce moving image products. The basic sequence runs from a wide angle master shot that is at a 90′ angle to (usually) two characters. This sets up the visual space and allows the film-maker to to then shoot separate close-ups, that if connected through an eye-line match are able to give the impression that they are opposite each other talking. The shots are usually over the shoulder.

i can use in a confrontation

1. Kernels: key moments in the plot / narrative structure
2. Satellites: embellishments, developments, aesthetics

This theory allows students to break down a narrative into 2 distinct elements. Those elements which are absolutely essential to the story / plot / narrative development, which are known as KERNELS and those moments that could be removed and the overall logic would not be disturbed, known as SATELLITES.

Roland Barthes: Proairetic and Hermenuetic Codes

1. Proairetic code: action, movement, causation
2. Hermenuetic code: reflection, dialogue, character or thematic development
3. Enigma code: the way in which intrigue and ideas are raised – which encourage an audience to want more information.
