Evaluation

In my group(consist of two members) We worked well together, we quickly agreed on our documentary because it was about football, a sport in which we both enjoy. I quickly planned the interviews and storyboard, everything was organized in time to start recording, except for one of our interviewers who we thought we were going to record, but in the end we could not interview him. 

Group difficulties:In my group we had a few setbacks, especially with communication, because we had to get a certain person who was going to play a big role in our documentary but we could not get in touch with him. We also had attendance problem, because Enoch was not in the majority of the lessons we could not get 100% work and effort in our work. Another problem was lack of concentration because, i think if we concentrated all our effort into the documentary it could have been a great and accurate pierce.

Before we started our documentary we looked at several football documentaries to give a brief ideas in those certain subjects. Our idea was straight forward because its a sport that we are both familiar in.It was quiet easy for us to plan our documentary, because like i said we were

Our audience feed back was pretty good and we did enjoy it but personally i think it could have been better.

To improve our documentary i think we could put in more effects and maybe add a bit more music,  we also could have planned more accurately and we could have used our time efficiently

History of music videos

Music videos play a big part in the music industry. Artists in music videos  are  given the chance of impressing the public not just with their vocal talent, but also with their looks or moves.

music video used to be less important then it is nowadays. MTV (Music Television) was the phenomenon that gave so much power and importance to the music video. As MTV was broadcasting 24-hour-a-day music, music videos were needed to be produced. Consequently, music video began to play an important role in artists' careers. It is considered that even Madonna's career has been greatly influenced by her videos that presented a sexy, appealing look of the artist. MTV has been highly controversial: some saw as the beginning of an amazing, new, fresh era in music, others considered it to mark the end of true musical talent, as artists have been become more appreciated for their looks instead of their vocal abilities.

In this generation the music video is as important as the song itself, sometimes even deciding the success of a song or artist. Collections of music videos are being sold on tapes or DVDs.  They consider that a music video should be assessed based on its visual qualities and not on the song quality.

Issues facing producers of factual programming

Factual Programming is a Programmer,which is based on facts that occur in real life. Such as a the News programmer or Documentary.

Accuracy: when doing the documentary you have to take care over the release of certain things containing information which may be put out to the public, these things maybe medical information or personal material, this has is because it can  put people's health and personal details at risk

Objectivity: In a documentary, getting the main point across being open minded about the point being made about the subject at hand.An example like reporting that emphasizes eyewitness accounts of events, corroboration of facts with multiple sources and balance of viewpoints.

Balance: when doing the documentary, information in some subjects like political content in the the public news. Also balance can be biased in describing a perceived issue as being more balanced between opposing viewpoints than the evidence actually supports. An example is journalists they may present evidence and arguments out of proportion to the actual evidence for each side.

Impartiality: This is having more of a balanced standing on subjects and not being biased to one side or the other this applies to all output and services such as - television, radio, online.

Subjectivity: This is simply keeping your personal views/feelings out of the issues as this can lead to more of an one sided view on the matter at hand and become more biased.

Bias: when an argument is completely one sided and ignores the evidence shown by the other party. Practical limitations to media, include availability of certain stories and facts.

Representation: stereotyping a person/group such as
People, places, objects, events, cultural identities
in a certain way this can be characterized into certain groups.

access:  means to communicate with or otherwise interact with a system: a specific type of interaction between a subject and an object that results in the flow of information from one to the other.
