Target Audience

Target Audience = Research Primary Research = Surveys, observation, panels, interviews Secondary Research = Books, newsletters, newspapers & magazines, pamphlets Reliable = Repeatable Same answer every time Several people give their opinion Valid = Believable? Is this source valid? Are they a reliable person? Internal Validity Murder photos Focus group very upsetting Photo can have a very good internal validity External Validity History exam cramming in last minute revision or over several weeks All this research has an external validity e.g. can be applied to French revision Relation to My Own Advert In relation to my own advert, to create two of my print adverts, I used inspiration from two print adverts that had been created by Costa and Starbucks. This is internal validity because it is an image that has inspired an audience to go and buy coffee in either of these chain coffee shops.

Clips

Clips The start of a clip is the head and the end of the clip is the tail . A clip after the current one is incoming snd the current is outgoing . An example of an interview that cuts away:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zog-6SrGxE0

Short cuts

Short cuts spacebar =  start and stop the video or audio. I obviously used it a lot when stopping and starting the video to search through to find specific points. backspace =  delete the section you have selected (the deletion key has a tendency to move sections). I used it a lot when i was cutting apart and altering the video to delete bits that weren't going to be seen. c =  turns on the razor tool, used to cut parts of a clip in two. I used this a lot when cutting apart and deciding what parts of the video was going to be seen along with cutting the parts that didn't need to be there after syncing the audio to the video. v =  switches back to the arrow tool.

I used to copy things to then paste elsewhere, mostly when moving things around. unlike copy, it removes the originate, so its also a goo...

H/W - Frame & Audio - My Explanation

Image
Frame In the UK, Frames are recorded at 25FPS (frames per second). In each frame, there are two fields. These fields can be interlaced or progressive. When the frames are interlaced, the two fields are scanned one after the other and when the frames are progressive, the two fields are scanned at the same time. Jaggies = Anomalies in displayed images in the frame. Audio A VU (volume unit) meter A PPM (peak programme meter) For a TV programme, this meter would measure 5.5ppm for voice, 3ppm for SFX and 4ppm for Music.

The picture above shows how I created a black video on Adobe Premiere Pro. I started off by creating folders such as Audio and Footage for a certain date. Then, I created the black video and changed the duration to 10 hours.
