costs

Costs
the most practical thing I've got to think off is budgeting and how to use my money wisely. When I was researching I noticed that all the books were saying the same thing I would need at least £20,000 in order to make an good production movie. I was thinking of things I need to buy for my short film and the list piles on I would need cameras, actors, lighting, etc

reading with concentration

. Don't worry about how quickly you are reading but instead, concentrate on reading the line in only three fixations.

.As this becomes more natural, practise without drawing lines.

.Later, reduce the number of fixations to two per line.

.Once this increased word span becomes a comfortable habit, an increase in your reading speed will occur.

.Have a clear focus for your reading. Set your reading goals

.Use a form of note taking whilst reading in detail, to keep you concentrating, aid understanding and provide you with a record of your reading.

.Using clear reading goals and a variety of reading skills is more important than increasing your reading speed.

.To improve your reading speed, don't increase the speed of the eye across the page, but increase the number of words the eye recognises in a single fixation.

This is useful because it shows you effective techniques for effecting reading in concentration and it describes how to read quickly as well. The advantage of reading with concentration is that you can clearly understand a piece of text; this is effective because it shows how well I understand my chosen subject which is emotional abuse. The disadvantage of this is that it takes up valuable time; this is effective because I will read a lot of texts in a short amount of time.  This will help my project because I will be able to read effectively when looking over a piece text about emotional abuse.

Annotation Evaluation

Highlighting is useful when you want to remember a key phrase or word in a piece of text. This is useful because when you look back on a piece of text instead of reading the whole thing again you can read only the bit you highlighted. The advantage of highlighting is that you can easily see a key phrase. The disadvantage is that it takes time highlighting because you need to carefully read it. I used highlighting in my task to pick up key quotes and to help them stand out to the reader. This is useful for my project because I can use highlighting when I need to read a useful text about emotional abuse.

Underling is useful when you want make a phrase or word stand out from a text. This is effective because when you are looking over the text in a later date it is easier to read the key words when they are underlined. The advantage of underlining is that it is quicker than highlighting because it is easier to underline rather than highlight. The disadvantage is that highlighting is much more noticeable than underlining. I used this in my task when I was skimming through the text. This is useful for my project because I refer back on texts and the key points are underlined

Labelling is useful when you want to add to highlighting to help explain what it is you have highlighted. This is effective because it makes highlighting more effective when you add notes to it. The advantage of labelling is that you can add notes to a piece of text to make it much clearer. The disadvantage of labelling is that it takes time to label. I used labelling in my task when I was adding notes to stuff I highlighted. This is useful for my project because I can label notes to make them much clearer and therefore has a better effect on the reader.

journal search





reference: springer link assesed on 22/09/2015
linkspringer.com

My task for this lesson was to locate a journal on the web about my area of abuse.  I first started by searching on Google for a journal about emotional abuse after a long time i found an journal that suited me perfectly. This stage of the task was useful because it shows how good i am at searching for a certain item i need. The second stage of the task was skim reading the journal to find what is relevant to me. In this journal was stories about how women are abuse and the effects it leaves behind. This is useful for my video because i can refer this and tell my viewers the effects of emotional abuse.

Legal and Ethical constraints

When creating a short video there are many laws you need to abide by. It is crucial to understand these laws other wise I could get into trouble with the law. These laws were created to keep the public safe and sound. These are just some of the examples there are.

Product Placement- This is when a program is sponsored by a certain product and you see it advertised everywhere throughout the program. This is important because i would not want to offend anyone by linking a certain product with psychological abuse.

Watershed- I have to make sure my short film is age appropriate or my film will have to be shown after nine o'clock. This is important because it will be less viewed after nine o'clock.

In conclusion i will have to make sure my film follows these laws for it to stay on TV.


Summarising




Summarised task

Jeremy Corbyn was heavily criticized for not singing good save the queen. He was branded disloyal for refusing to sing. Labour and Tory mps said he was dishounourable. Corbyns response was he stood in respectful silence. He also wore a miss matched suit and his top bottom was undone. His fellow Mp warned that he will step down if Corbyn left the European union. 100 labour mps are preparing to publicly campaign for the uk to stay in the European union. He also forgot to deliver a number of lines in his speech. In conclusion, he was forced to issue a statement after hours of criticism. This helped me with summarising with my project.

description of summarising

The reason we summarise is to sum up a huge piece of text into a couple of sentences for people to read quickly. Summarising is useful when you are in a hurry and you need to read a long piece of text and you summarise it to read faster. The advantages of summarising is it can shorten long text for you to understand. this is good because it will save time. The disadvantages of summarising is that you have to understand the text really well in order to summarise it, this is bad because it will take a long time to understand it

key words search

In this task we were asked to copy and paste key words into Google. This was a useful task because it helped me to look for key areas of my area of abuse faster and easier it was also clearer and faster in finding the text. I searched psychological abuse on women into Google and came up with these searches. this was effective because it helped me understand the effects of abuse on women



my chosen area of abuse and existing charities

My chosen area of abuse

The area of abuse i decided to cover is psychological abuse, this was a tuff choice as there was many types of abuse i could of chosen but i decided to go with this one as it is not reported as much as other areas of abuse. Psychological abuse can lead to many mental issues even death, this is also another reason why i chose this issue. I would like my short film to be viewed nationally on the BBC as their target audience is 25-55 years old this is a really good target audience as this is the time of your life when your with a partner. I would also like to choose BBC as their ethos is inform, educate and entertain. My video would like to inform and educate my viewers.

Existing charities

There are a wide range of charaties that help with psychological abuse, for example Womensaid. Womensaid is a charity created to help women against any types of abuse. In this short video it shows a normal women at home with her boyfriend and it soon developed into name calling and emotional abuse. Then it showed a friend showing her women aid and their details and in the end she called them to get advice. My short video will be unique compared to this short film as most psychological abuse stories don't end so happily, this is effective because the general public will more likely remember a non text book ending.

I copied and pasted this video from YouTube. This video was published by Womensaid on 20/09/15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOvekqpcJQI

Media Btec homework Mr Becker

Skimming Vs. Scanning

Website- skim read- copy and paste


My task for this lesson was to search the internet for websites on my chosen area of abuse which is psychological abuse to women. I was told after i have found the website i would like to use, i was then given permission to copy and paste from the website.

This is a extract i copied and pasted from a website that supports women from all type of abuse. this was really useful because it informed me of what types of psychological abuse teir are and how the impact can really hurt women. I copied and pasted this extract. No author, 15/09/15, website:
http://www.womensaid.org.uk/domestic_violence_topic.asp?section=0001000100220042=Emotional+abuse


Most domestic violence includes emotional abuse, which can include such tactics such as:
  • destructive criticism, name calling, sulking
  • pressure tactics
  • lying to you, or to your friends and family about you
  • persistently putting you down in front of other people
  • never listening or responding when you talk
  • isolating you from friends and family, monitoring your phone calls, emails, texts and letters
  • checking up on you, following you, not letting you go out alone.
    The impact of emotional abuse may be even more devastating than physical assault - and have much longer term effects - yet most of the above behaviours are not crimes, and it's therefore much more difficult to obtain protection, or even to get others to take them seriously.
