audience theory
why audiences consume media products
john hartley (1987) and ien ang (1991)
suggested that produces create invisible fiction or imaginary entities (ideal audience member) before creating a media product
this is the starting point for creating the profile and the images that you will use in it.

Use of sound
Submairne
Diegesis
is a style of fiction storytelling that presents an interior view of a world and is:
that world itself experienced by the characters in situations and events of the narrative
telling, recounting, as opposed to showing.
Diegetic sound
sound that appears as though it is coming from within the story of the film or TV program,
for example:
the sound of the type writer in the trailer of submarine.
Dialog
Sound effects (Foley sound)
these are added during production and post production to create meaning, sound effects and dialogue in particular are planned carefully during pre production
Non-Diegetic
sound that clearly isn't coming from the story
incidental music
an example of this is where in submarine Oliver Tate imagines a candle lit visual of his death, this is connoting that the pupils and many of his friends and family miss him by using dramatic music.

LO1 Task 1 - ownership
Hi, I'm working for Education UK, I'm investigating 20th
Century Fox which is a film company, they are a subsidiary owned by 21st
Century Fox who are owned by News Corporation who are a multinational mass
media and headquartered in New York and was founded by Rupert Murdoch in 1979
•Ownership
Here are some key terms
•horizontal integration
Horizontal integration (also known as lateral integration)
simply means a strategy to increase your market share by taking over a similar
company.
•Vertical integration
Vertical integration is the process in which several steps
in the production and/or distribution of a product or service are controlled by
a single company or entity, in order to increase that company’s or entity’s
power in the marketplace.
•Conglomerate
A conglomerate is a combination of two or more corporations
engaged in entirely different businesses that fall under one corporate group,
these are called subsidiaries.
•Independent
In business, an independent company as a term of distinction
generally refers to privately owned companies (as opposed to those companies
owned publicly through a distribution of shares on the market).
•Cross media ownership
The ownership of multiple media businesses by a person or
corporation. These businesses can include broadcast and cable television,
radio, newspaper, book publishing, video games, and various online entities.
•Ownership
20th century fox is a subsidiary of a cross media
conglomerate called 21st century fox. They are one of the five biggest conglomerates
in the world and 20th century fox are the sixth biggest film studio alone without
including any of its other assets. News Corporation and 21st Century Fox own
many assets, for example; Fox 2000 Pictures, Fox News, Fox International
Channels, National Geographic Channels. As of 2013 20th Century fox is owned by
21st Century Fox yet people still knows it as to be owned by News Corp.
· Operating model
Here I discuss the operating model; different parts of the
company operate after the split by being more focussed on each branch of the
company. They all work together in synergy to create products to a high
standard. Both of these relate to strategies that are made to grow your
business but they differ in approach. And most of the times which one to choose
is not a very straightforward decision.
The horizontal distributional integration is a good factor for large
companies like 20th century fox that are usually vertically integrated (just
for profit purposes) because they can use the distribution experience of the
subsidiaries to supply all consumers with high-class assets from cross medially
owned conglomerates with their operating model. Therefore 20th century fox use
their assets to further promote and distribute. And therefore as for 20th
century fox being horizontally integrated they use their wider conglomerate so therefore the sun news paper and Sky TV will promote a film like avatar.
Internally the film production process helps to make sure the film is successful. Pre-production, post-production, and production parts work together to create
the final product. For example the pre-production finance department are linked
with the pyrotechnics and any other department during the production of the
film as a budget given to them and any
effects on other departments effect the others for example; the script writers
in pre-production effect the actors during production.
• Products
20th century fox produce many other types of media including
films, as that is their specialism. Many of their films are well know because
they have large budgets; some of their latest film released are: (August 13th
2014) Lets Be Cops, (August 5, 2014) Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, (July 11,
2014) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Some of their most successful films are;
All of 20th century
fox's products are distributed to a mass audience whereas Warp have their
products distributed to a niche audience which means their targeted audience is
a lot more closed than 20th century fox. 20th century fox are enthusiastic
about all their products as they entrust their audience to divulge their hard
earned 'cash' on the well profitable business. Yet the do many cater for a
large range of audiences with many relatable films and also television programs
that they release. They also work largely around TV programs; some of their
most successful TV series are Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness
(2011–present) (co-production with DreamWorks Animation and Nickelodeon
Productions)
Bob's Burgers
(2011–present) (co-production with Bento Box Entertainment)
American Dad!
(2005–present) (co-production with Underdog Productions and Fuzzy Door
Productions) (Moving to TBS in July 2014)
The Simpsons
(1989–present) (co-production with Gracie Films).
• Market Position & Competitors
Here shows the market position of 20th century fox, and in
comparison Warp are not even in the top 10. We know that 20th century are a
successful company as they have many large budget films and also that they have
a 17.1% share in the market which is considerably larger than their competitors
such as Warner Brothers. 20th century is a widely successful company,
nationally and internationally as they have such a large target audience for
many genres. The main well known competitors to 20th century would be, Warner
Brothers, Sony, Universal and Paramount. All of those companies listed are all
film producers therefore are all in competition together. 20th Century stand
out from their competitors because their films always have a much larger budget
which gives them the option of going over the top with their special effects or
casting certain characters, therefore their films are always of a higher
standard.

progress in premier
Here shows the demonstration of a 'Page Peel' video transition effect, this is a good effect to use as it attracts the audience when changing scenes.
Square rotation - here shows another video transition effect which when the video is sliced up, smoothly changes scenes from one to another.
in this clip, the skill demonstrated is animation, where both the logo and title move across the screen in a entertaining manor, to keep the attention of the audience.
