1903 - Basic Cuts in Film - The great train robbery
There wasn't really any editing process here because it was a really early film. The only editing in this are the jump cuts. At 3:55 - 4:00 it cuts from one scene to a different scene. This is the first cut in the film. It's very basic editing because they didn't have the resources to do linear editing at the time that it was made.
1920s - Silent Film
Needed to allow audiences to understand time and space
Discuss key techniques/development that allowed this
At 6:35 - 6:42 they used a transition. They did this to show that the scene was over and that time would be making a jump, straight after the transition they put subtitles on the screen to say where the character was and what time it was, this is helping the audience understand time and space. They used these very simple editing techniques because in the 1920's they didn't have the equipment to do time and space.
1940s - Hollywood Studio System
More complex stories that included sound
Cinema at it's height in popularity so audiences needed to escape into film
For example, cutting on action is used at 1:51 - 1:56 when the watch is shot, it goes from the gun, then the bullet fires and it switches to a close up of the watch. It makes this event more seamless so you don't realise the editing and you can get a more immersive experience.
They also use the basic jump cuts here but they use them more frequently so we don't stay on a scene for too long. 0:35 - 0:51 they cut between the two characters talking to give us a more up close view of their faces when they are saying something. This also makes for a more immersive film experience because you're not just staring at one scene for two long getting bored and remembering that you're watching a film, there's always a new shot for you to look at. It also makes the conversation flow better, it gives it a less awkward feel when watching them converse.
1960s - American new wave - The godfather
Cross cutting, they cut between the church and assassinations (all throughout they do this but a specific example would be 0:37 - 1:17)
Cross cutting works here to tell multi strands of the narrative, it's also used here to make a contrast between two scenes.
Cutting on action is evident in the scene where the guy is being massaged and the assassin walks through the door to assassinate him, the character leans down to pick up his glasses and put them on. It goes from a wide shot to a mid shot to a close up, this all happens on action and hides the editing to make it a more immersive experience. 3:54 - 4:00. Matched cut is used to begin sequence.
1980s - High Concept cinema
Editing techniques develop to create pace and understanding of genre
In this clip the sound speeds up to help create a pace, the editing also speeds up. This is a fight scene and it's edited in this certain way to make audiences react accordingly. (Being more engrossed in the film, being on the edge of their seat etc.) The jump cuts used here speed up as the fight gets more intense. For example at 0:22 - 0:38 the cuts slow down because the fight is slowing down in pace, then at 1:08 - 1:33 the editing quickens to match the action on screen. A lot of the editing in this film is very fast quick cuts, this helps the audience understand the overall pace of the film, which then leads to them understanding the genre of the film. The sound in the film always matches the action on the screen.
Genres that were popular in 1980s were Sci-Fi, Action and Horror. Sci-Fi got really popular in the 1980's because of the fact that we could do more with editing so people wanted to explore new ideas in filmmaking. Star Wars was made in 1977 and really helped to make Sci-Fi more popular as we got into the 1980's.
1990s - Digitial editing software introduced
Filmmaking became inexpensive
Rise of independent filmmaking
6:22 - 6:30 they use an L cut, which is where they let you hear the action before they show it on screen. J and L cuts can be used for many different reasons but for this one they use this to show the audience where this conversation that they cut to is taking place. At 20:41 -21:15 theres a lot of cutting on action. When he looks at the bed, it cuts to a mid shot of the bed, then he reaches for the bed, it cuts to a first person view of his hand going towards the bed, then he presses on the bed, takes a step back, the camera cuts to his reaction, then cuts back to the bed as he reaches towards the bed again. This type of editing is sometimes referred to as invisible editing. They call it this invisible editing because it makes the scene flow very well, so well that you get immersed in the film.
00s - Today.
All techniques are used dependent of genre and audience
CGI is used throughout mainstream and independent cinema
CGI is computer generated interface. It's impacted film in a massive way, artists have gotten a new chance to use their skills on films and make new creations. People who wanted to do a certain film but couldn't because it wouldn't be possible to make a film like that now can because of CGI. CGI has helped people be more creative in their work, so many new possibilities have come about due to CGI. Finding Nemo for example, could of never been made without CGI (and if it was made it would of been very boring and confusing seen as fish can't talk) CGI can make anything happen and that's why it's impacted film in a good way.

What effect does 'fake footage' or lying to viewers have on the reputation of a programme/channel/ documentary filmmaker?
Using fake footage/lying to viewers gives a bad reputation of the channel. Having fake footage makes this channel untrustworthy, future factual programmes on this channel won't be as widely believed because of the previous 'error' The documentary filmmaker will get a reputation of being a liar and deceitful, it could ruin future documentaries they want to make because the audience won't take to it as well as they would of if the previous 'error' hadn't occurred.
Accuracy
Inaccurate footage makes them seem untrustworthy and unprofessional.
Bias

Inaccurate statistics could make this show seem untrustworthy. Also he doesn't take into account variables, this makes his whole "fast food is super unhealthy don't eat there ever" thing inaccurate.
Bias
From the very beginning he's expressed his own views on fast food and throughout the documentary he continues to only show one side of the fast food industry. (McDonalds is it's focus.)
Representation
The representation of McDonalds and people who eat McDonalds regularly is awful, this could lead people who are on the larger side (weight wise) to be offended. He represents fat people as awful slobs, constantly filming their butts and shaming them for eating fast food. He's not giving a good representation of McDonalds, he's only showcasing the bad food that McDonalds has. Everyone with a brain can understand that if all you're eating is McDonalds and you're not exercising at all, it's going to be unhealthy. He's misrepresenting McDonalds in saying that it's completely unhealthy and you should never ever eat it. He's warding people away from McDonalds, this could lead to people having a skewed view of fast food, specifically McDonalds. People could boycott McDonalds without actually knowing all of the facts.

Script for Vlog - My half
How are they structured? Who is the conglomerate - and how are they integrated? (Examples)
What debates are there about the usefulness of the licence fee? What alternatives are there? What is your opinion?
Who are their competition and what programmes rival theirs?
The future of technology is going in the direction of more immersive experiences when watching television, less effort when interacting with technology. The way that technology is advancing we'll end up not having to do anything but speaking to the TV. People have been working on new sensor tracking technology for the xbox one, this could lead to having our own fitness coach from the comfort of our own home. Another advancement in Television is the "IllumiRoom" Microsoft have been researching technology that could make watching a film even more immersive watching from your own home than it would be going to the cinema. The reason for this is that they are working on a TV that projects the things on screen all around your living room so it feels like you're in the film. "Don't watch a film, be in it"
Walt Disney are what you would call both vertically integrated and horizontally integrated. Integration is a term that is used to described conglomerates. You would call a conglomerate vertically integrated if they own two or three stages of production. In simpler terms, you need to be able to make the film and then either distribute it or exhibit it. Horizontal integration is when one company owns a range of different companies such as: newspapers, book, publishers, online or music companies. Now back to Walt Disney, as I said before they are both vertically and horizontally integrated. This can be proved by what companies they own. Walt Disney owns a film company called Walt Disney Pictures, they can make films (so we've got one of the production stages already) they also own Disney Channel, this means that they can exhibit their film. So they've got two of the production stages, making them vertically integrated. Moving onto why they are horizontally integrated, they are horizontally integrated because of the many different companies they own. Here are some examples of what companies Walt Disney own: Disney Music Group, Disney Theatrical Group, Disney-ABC Television Group, Radio Disney, ESPN Inc, Disney Interactive Media Group and many more.
How successful is this conglomerate?
Walt Disney are a massively successful company, you don't have to be a genius to realise this. The amount of companies they own coupled with how much money they make is astounding. They are hugely successful. They own not only a film studio but their own cruise line, many theatrical divisions, their own recording label, their own disney consumer products which produces toys, clothing and other types of Disney Merchandise. The amount of money they make from their theme parks alone is a third of its $45 billion revenue. All together they are worth (production companies and everything) 84 billion dollars.
What are the debates (pros + cons) of a few media conglomerates owning the majority of the media.
A lot of people get up in arms about the fact that only a few media conglomerates own the majority of the media. There are so many debates going on about this. Many people have said that the cons of conglomerates owning 90% of the Media is that they only really care about making money, people say that there are certain things that aren't said on mainstream news that should be said (we're apparently being told a lot of lies by these major companies). Another con is that a lot of the things produced by these 6 major film companies are very similar to what they have done in the past. They think that we need more diversity in the media industry (film wise) If one media conglomerate has a certain style then that's all they are going to produce forever. It's very repetitive.
A few pros about this are that because these major media corporations are so big and successful, they can create very high quality content at a rapid speed. We'll hardly ever get a film that looks bad (the storyline may be bad in your opinion but you can't argue that the actual video quality and SFX of the film are going to be good. Also going back to the censorship issue it doesn't really matter if most of the media is owned by a few because there are plenty of outlets in the world for people to have their say, the internet, being a big one. But also, alternative newspapers, loads of different television stations that are independent.
What new technologies has the film industry developed?
There are many new technological developments that have changed the way we watch film. For example, 3D. 3D has improved massively over the years. We've gone from cheap, carboard red and blue lensed glasses to high tech, high quality, super effective 3D glasses. Imax is another development that's changed the way we watch films. Imax uses lazer projection to make a crystal clear image. The screens in Imax cinemas are massive and slightly curved to make for a more immersive experience when watching films.

BBC
The licence fee is £145.50 for a standard TV. for a black and white TV it's £45 the licence fee is something you have to pay if you want to watch or record TV as it's being broadcast. The public pay for the licence fee either yearly or monthly this is funding public service broadcasting, such as the BBC. The BBC are there to inform educated and entertain. There are many debates about the usefulness of the licence fee. Coming into 2015 statistics show a lot of people don't even watch TV as it's being broadcast anymore they are watching online, on demand streaming services like Netflix, Huluplus, Amazon prime etc. A lot of people who do watch TV as it's being broadcast, don't even watch the BBC meaning that they are paying for channels that they don't even watch, making the licence fee useless really. Alternatives of the licence fee are the BBC (and other public service broadcasting channels) turning into commercial channels, this would make it so that we don't even need a licence fee. An article wrote for the guardian says that another alternative that the ITV has suggested doesn't necessarily get rid of the licence fee it just splits where our money would go to. The ITV feel that they should get paid a percentage of the licence fee because they do basically the same thing as the BBC but they aren't a public service broadcaster. I think that the licence fee is useful but only if the BBC actually do what their ethos is. They're more entertainment rather than informing and educating right now. As long as they get that right balance of information, education and entertainment then it's okay, but if they're just more entertainment than anything then it's useless having the licence fee cause they're just like every other channel out there.
The BBC has quite a lot of competition, their main one being ITV. The ITV are it's main rival because they air really similar programmes as the BBC do. For example, BBC show 'The Voice' (a singing competition) and then ITV have a show called XFactor (also a singing competition) Strictly come dancing is hosted on BBC it's a dancing competition, but then ITV have a show called Dancing on Ice, which is also a dancing competition. Another channel that they are competing with are Channel 4 with Hollyoaks, the BBC show Eastenders, ITV show Coronation street. These soaps bring in a mass amount of viewers for each channel and they're all in competition for which soap is better.
What New technologies have they developed and how have these new technologies changed the way we watch/use the BBC?
What New technologies have they developed and how have these new technologies changed the way we watch/use the BBC?
Over the years the way we watch TV has changed dramatically. For example video on demand is a service that has come around recently where people don't have to watch the shows right as they are being broadcast. On-demand streaming services such as BBC Iplayer can be watched on anything from tablets to phones to laptops. You can view them at anytime, out and about so you don't even have to watch from your own home. BBC 3 has been totally changed from a channel on TV to an online channel now

Cutting on action - Where you cut on action. For example someone is picking something up, you cut to what they are picking up.
Cross cutting - Used to create dramatic tension, used a lot in action sequences, when two things are going on you cross between two of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmptU7vEkNU
Matched cut - Trick as if the scene continues but it cuts to another scene. Used to trick the audience (mainly used to look cool)
Montage - A long passing of time compressed into a short 30 second (ish) clip. This is used to speed up something that would usually take too long to show.

Paragraph of the future

Future of television industry
1. Channel 4 is being bought by US industries
2. Rupert Murdock is buying the channels (He is the US media conglomerate)
3. TV is having to compete with other platforms (streaming services) to stay relevant. (They're making their own.)
The future of the television industry is changing. Channel 4 is being bought by US industries, Rupert Murdock is buying the channels. (He's a US media conglomerate.) The impact that this will have on the television industry is that there may be more channels, more channels mean that you may have to pay more to watch TV. Potentially if the US industries buy some UK channels, we could lose a few channels as well. Commercial channels could be affected because the advertisements will change, it could affect the amount of money going towards commercial channels, America could take that money. TV channels are having to compete with other platforms as well (not just US conglomerates trying to buy them) they are trying to stay with the public by making other platforms to watch their content on, for example, Iplayer.

Vertical and horizontal integration
Vertical
They are 'vertically integrated' (if you're talking about what someone is) The real term is 'vertical integration'
Have to be able to own two or three stages of production. You need to be able to make the film and then either distribute it or show it.
Horizontal
When one company owns a range of different companies such as newspapers, book, publishers, online or music companies.

Walt Disney: Are both. (They own pixar and they also own disney channel so they can make and distribute them. Also they own a bunch of other different companies. So that makes them both)
21st Century fox: Are both (They can make the films themselves and they can also broadcast it on their TV. They also own a bunch of other companies so that makes them both)
Sony: Are both.
