How our post-production skills have developed.
Through out the course of Media Studies we have developed many skills of post production. We have dynamically used a used a wide range of media resources such as photoshop, final cut, istop motion and garage band. We have also used the internet and websites such as Youtube which is been a fundamental part of the post production process and this has enabled us to publisize our media products to the online world.
What post-production decisions did we make?
These are the decisions we made after filming our music video.
-Editing
-Digipack
-Magazine advert
-Evaluation/Commentary
-Put it on Youtube
Editing
The whole idea of animation is that it blends simultaneously, so to do this we cut scenes and blended them by using the same lighting settings for all. We also created a constant speed through most scenes enabling smoother transitions between frames. We also incorperated a split screen to keep the viewer interested and alert. Lastly we increased the saturation to create more vibrant and asthetically pleasing scenes.
Digipack
Creating a digipack helped us to visalise the product. We used characters directly from our movie. The use of using characters from the music video onto our digipack creates a strong correlation between visuals. This will enable viewers to create links between our characters in the music video and on the digipack
Magazine advert
The magazine advert is simplistic like our digipack and similarally has the same characters on the cover. We made this decision because we wanted a strong link between the music video and the magazine cover so that our viewers could see the correlation.
What is the function of post-production?
The function of post production is to develop the movie further and create a final product. To do this we used a range of media programmes such as final cut and photoshop.

Using conventions from real texts in our media products
Children's Film.
In my childrens film opening we used conventions from real texts as we looked up several cdvbhildrens programmes such as casper the friendly ghost. We used some of the conventions in this programme for example the friendly location such as a school. This is an enviroment that children would reckonise as safe and friendly. We used a ghost just like casper in our childrens film opening that wanted to become friends with the school children.
Thriller opening
In our thriller opening we also used conventions from real texts amd we looked at films such as the faculty. The faculty was based in a school, with school children being attacked. We used some of the conventions from this film such as we based our thriller in a school and with a female student being attacked.

How is the identity of women mediated via the internet and why is this problematic? - ej
Catfish is a reality thriller/documentary film that follows the journey of the main character Nev a photographer based in New York, and his relationship with a family he becomes friends with on Facebook. The relationship begins when an 8 year old girl Abby contacts Nev on Facebook asking if she can paint one of his pictures. He then becomes friends with the family including the mum Andrea, the older half sister Megan, the step dad Vince as well as the brother. Nev regularly receives packages of paintings of his pictures and eventually after forming a good relationship with the entire family which includes having phone call conversations with the mum and older sister he begins to find out what he has been told might not be entirely the truth.
In the film catfish, the main (only!) female character mediates herself via the internet through her multiple profiles on the website facebook. She creates different identities on the site using multiple fake names and pictures and uses them to represent different parts of her personalities. She creates an entire family on Facebook and uses them to convey the lies and events that she has been telling the main character Nev. She mediates herself as her 8 year old daughter Abby who is a rising star artist who paints nevs photos and owns a gallery. She also mediates herself as the sister Megan who is supposedly a singer and creates a long distance relationship with Nev. She also mediates herself as the mum using a back dated image of herself and creates the story that she has cancer. When Nev finally meets her he realises that none of these things she has mediated her self as are not true.
The way the character Angela mediates herself is problematic for multiple reasons. The first is that by using the internet and face book you can become anyone you want and angela has been stealing identities to mediate herself as the different parts of her personality that she has not been able to live herself. The second major problem for the way Angela mediates herself is that she is committing crimes by stealing peoples identities and this can be a major crime. The fact that people can become anyone they want on the internet through social sites like facebook, twitter ect means that relationships made on the internet can be fake. It can also lead to more dangerous things such as murder, rape and abduction especially when the ones been influenced by fake identities are young children and adolescents.

How is the identity of women mediated via the Internet and why is this problematic? - Kirsten Toye
Catfish is a documentary film made in 2010. Andrew Jarecki, Marc Smerling, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman produced it and Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost directed it. The film is about a man called Nev who is a photographer that’s lives in New York with his brother Ariel
The identity of the women, Angela, is mediated over the internet using Facebook. She has mediated herself as many different people coming from the same family. She has mediated herself as a little 8-year-old girl called Abby, who was painting pictures of Nev’s photographs. She also mediated herself as a 19-year-old girl called Megan, who was Abby’s half sister, who was starting a long distant relationship with Nev, and she also mediated herself as Angela, the mother of Abby and Megan who had cancer. None of this was true.
The woman has shown different identities to Nev. She made any different identities to make it seen real, and they were living a real life, but there were some things that didn’t piece together that made Nev realise that this wasn’t right. She has created multiple profiles of different people and represented parts of her own identity in them. This is problematic because anyone can put a false identity on the internet, through social networking sites and miss lead people. Although this is a serious case, it could lead to things much worse such as rape, murder, abduction and many more, as people can create a person who looks very real and start a friendship or relationship, like Nev and Megan did. Angela is committing major crimes as well as miss leading people. The people she stole identity from were people she knew, but stealing an identity is a crime.

Old Tv and Films showing collective identity
TV
- Coronation Street - The early episodes of Coronation Street are examples of collective identity. You see many different groups in Coronation Street, such workers, adults, friends and families. You see how different families are living, such as the Barlow's. In the early Coronation Streets there isn't many young characters. The man youngest character is Ken Barlow, who is a very intelligent male. This maybe showing that typical higher income families are well educated.
Coronation street today has a lot more collective identities. There is a lot more teenagers, low income families, and different friendship groups, such as the 'underworld workers' who always want to go to the pub for a drink at lunch times and after work.
Coronation Street in the 1970's and Coronation Street today could be prepared to see if collective identity today is shown in the same way as it was in the 1970s.
-Are You Being Served? - This TV series from 1970s shows the stereotype of British class system. It is filmed in a ladies and gents clothing department of Grace Brothers, which is located in London.
FILM
- Alfie - this is a good example of colletive identity as it shows a character who is always chasing after women and trying to get them into bed. He has a 'desire for the opposite sex'. This could collective identity of a middled aged male, and might show the 'typical' male thinking. Alfie has a charm that attracts the ladies, and he can't keeps his eyes on only one women for a long time, even though he does try. This might show to us that most young men are like this and need women in thier life to satisfy them, but maybe can't stick to just one women in thier lives.

SCRIPT FOR XTRANORMAL.
Man 1: Collective identity.
Man 2: Collective identity is an individual sense of belonging to a group of people who share the same interest and relate to each others identity.
Man 1: Some examples of collective identity are Nationalities, Sexuality, Academic/sports/creative interests, Age groups, Gender, Family's, Class, Ethnicity/religious identity and Ability/disability.
Man 2: We will be looking at collective identity on TV and in Films.
Man 1: We have looked into British youth in films, and have watched the film Fish Tank.
Man 2: Fishtank is a good example of collective identity and British youth as it is about a 15 year old girl, and her life and family.
Man 1: The theorist Ting Toomey idea of identity negotiation is relevant with the movie 'Fish Tank' . All the characters on the London estate were born into a metaphorical Fish Tank, were they grow up with the society they are born within. Their identities as humans have been negotiated because of the society they are in. Many of the characters on the estate all have a consistent set of behaviors.
Man 2: The theorist Althusser idea of interpellation is that the power of mass media resides in their ability to place a subject in the way that their representations are taken to be reality. Interpellation is extremely prominent within lower class society. The media does not portray London's estates as positive but negative. Somewhere full of violence , sex and broken morals. The media has almost created a certain 'packaging' around single parents , low income families and job seekers, portraying them as an isolated community. Fish tank propagates this showing a typical stereotypical.
Man 1: The first prompt question for collective identity is 'How do the contemporary media represent nations, regions and ethnic/social/collective groups of people in different ways?' For this question i would talk about how TV and films such as Misfits and Fish Tank that show identity in different groups. For example i would say that Misfits shows the identity of the youth, and the behaviour through having them on community service. This gives people the impression that all British youth is like this, and this is how they behave.
Man 2:Although every character is different in the TV series, they still have a collective identity. As for the film Fish Tank, i would say that this is showing the collective identity of typical lower class families. In this film it is showing us a family of 3, mother and two daughters. We see the typical, day to day scenes, of alcohol, sex and broken morals. They don't have any understanding of morals as they swear, and one of the daughters is young, around the age of 7 and the other one is 15. The eldest daughter is also having sex underage. There is no evidence of a religious background in this family as they haven't shown any indication of following rules.
Man 1: The second prompt question is 'How does contemporary representation compare to previous time periods?' For this question i would watch some TV shows and Films from a previous time period and then watch TV and films in the present, and look how they represent society and different collective groups in different ways. I would compare the contemporary medias and write about how they represent different collective identity or to see if they represent them in the same way.
Man 2: The third prompt question is 'What are the social implications of different media representations of groups of people?' For this question i would look at lots of different TV shows and Films that show collective identity and then analyse what impact these have on people watching them. For example elderly people might avoid coming into contact with a group of teenagers because they have seem on the TV show or films that represent them in a negative way such as Kidulthood. This could have the impact that every teenager is like this and its their collective identity to be 'bad'.
Man 1: The fourth prompt question is 'To what extent is human identity increasingly mediated?' In this question i would talk about how yours or other peoples collective identity is mediated. For example the way in which film and TV represent young people. Youth is mediated through TV and Films which are presented through adults eyes. Only things such as Facebook and Twitter are where youth can really express themselves and this is not mediated, therefore adults only get the identity through other adults and don't see anything else.
Man 2:One theorist David Buckingham said in his book, 'After The Death of Childhood', that how youth are mediated will never be reality because it is always coming from an adults eyes. Skins is a good example of how youth is mediated. Skins gives adults and parents awareness of children, and this shows the adults realm of sex, drink and drugs but youth doing it. Skins also has youth write scenes for Skins, such as they had a competition for anyone to write one scene for skins. This is good because its showing that youth is being mediated through the youths eyes instead of adults. Whereas the TV series 'Inbetweeners' is written by adults but is similarly showing teenagers in school and thier social life of drinking, and getting up to things they shouldn't be. The programs raise awareness for adults and young people so that they can make more informed choices.
Man 1: There are scenes in the Film, 'Fish Tank' and the TV series 'Misfits' that show Daivd Buckinghams theory.
Man 2: There is a scene in Fish Tank where you see around the room, and you see the gerbil in the cage, an then it changes to see the 15 year old girls drinking beer. It then goes on to show a gnome on the window seal and then the pink TV and stickers on the wall. This is showing us a room of what we think is a little girls, and seems innocent because of the pink TV and the stickers around them. Next we see too very young girls smoking and drinking beer, with dolls and toys chuck to one side behind them. In this scene the children are represented is a negative way as you would expect a child of this age to be playing with dolls, like the scene makes us think first.
Man 1:It is also showing the adult realm of drinking and smoking. This scene shows a contrast between the two. It also gives high awareness for parents, and whether their children are doing this. David Buckingham's theories could be applied to this scene. In this book 'After The Death of Childhood', he talks about what could happen to children when their exposed to adult realms.
Man 2: In the first scene of Misfits, they show all the community service people leaning on the balcony waiting to meet their probation worker. Once the probation worker has started to talk about how its going to change their lives and they can prove being wrong about them being 'scum', the community service workers are rude too him. One boy, Nathan, makes a comment about how people are born looking like a criminal and starts a fight with another boy. One of the girls answers her phone and answers back to the probation worker when he asks her to get off the phone. They then start taking the mick out of each other and ignore the probation worker. This is also representing youth in a negative way, but different from the scene in Fish Tank because it is not showing adults realms in children.
Man 1: It is showing the bad behaviour in youth and the attitude they use towards people of an older age. They are all dfferent types of people but they all have a collective identity of bad behaviour as they are alll doing community service. This could be showing british youth as impoloiate, rude, and gerenally naughty people. This could link into David Buckingham's theory becuase it could be showing that if they were exposed to adult realms then they feel asthough they have a sense of power and have taken it too far and now are dealing with communtiy service. It also links into Althusser idea of interpellation, where the mass media are saying this is how teenagers are, always getting into 'trouble', but they aren't but its how they are represented in Misfits.

Theorist
Ting Toomey's idea of identity negotation is relevant with the movie 'Fish Tank' . All the characters on the London estate were born into a metaphorical fishtank, were they grow up with the society they are born within. Their identities as humans have been negotiated because of the society they are in. Many of the characters on the estate all have a consistent set of behaviors.
Emile Durkheim :
Fish tank society of people all have shared similar negative beliefs towards society. For example many of the characters have negative opinions on education and work. Fish tank society is more laidback and free which is ironic because in reality they are not free stuck in thier estate looking out open society.
Althusser:
Interpolation is extremely prominant within lower class society. The media does not portray Londons estates as postive but negative. Somewhere full of violence , sex and broken morals. The media has almost created a certain 'packaging' around single parents , low income families and job seekers, portraying them as an isolated community. Fish tank propagates this showing a typical stereotypical.
Fashion Movement.
One strong form of collective identity in fashion movement is Indie. This group of people are all relatable to one another through there shared intrest in the same genre of music.As with alot of music comunities many people dress to suit the genre. Construction of identy is stongly influenced with indie music and bands the way the bands and artists dress also has a strong influence on 'the indie groups'.

Examples for British Youth
TV

-Inbetweeners
-Skins
-Misfits
-Eastenders
-This is England 86
FIlM
-Kidaulthood

Althusser and ideology.
Ideology is the IDEAL , different people have different opinions on what they believe is ideal is that people within the world should be equal.... this is an idealistic opinion and others that share the same belief collective ideoligists.
Ideology, for Althusser 'represents the imaginary relationship of individuals to their real conditions of existence'.
Extremists have idealistic opinions on ideology , for example some believe that Britain should be a Muslim country and Christians are corrupt in the eye of Allah.

Representing identities
This video shows us identities through metaphors. He got people to build there identities using lego. He has done this because if you were to write it as a list you wouldn't get the same impact as a model. Everyone one would have a different model because everyone has a different identity.

British Youth.
British youth is is found in many different TV programs such as 'Misfits', and 'Inbetweeners'. British youth is also seen in soaps such as 'Coronation Street', 'Emmerdale', 'Eastenders'. Misfits and Inbetweeners both show british youth as being trouble, but are both are both different programs as one is extreme and the other one is intended to make you laugh. Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Eastenders are all soaps, thats are similar in ways. They all show a part of british youth in them, but show a different representation than Misfits and Inbetweeners.
British youth is also found in many films such as

To what extent is human identity increasingly mediated?
- how is it shown in different media context, for example, the News is represented in a more factual way whereas gossip magazines and blogs are more exaggerate different identities.
