Britain on Film - BBC4

When compared to modern day television programmes, the startling clarity of how much Britain has changed in the past 50 or so years is shocking.
In this series show, it is strange to remember women were perceived as persons who's best gift to the world was good cooking and a pretty smile, and only a few short decades ago. What's also shocking is that this was quite a while after the many debacles caused by the Suffragettes and Suffragists. Yes, they had achieved the right to vote and the right to work in a stereotypical male workplace during the first World War, but the popular opinion remained that women were fragile and came second to men. This view has now become outdated. Women have almost complete equality with men in regards to the workplace. There are woman doctors, police officers and army recruits, which would have been abnormal in the 1950s. British television programmes like Casualty and Holby City portray women in these roles and the show writers receive no negative response or surprise because of that.

Using a Mac was perhaps the most beneficial media technology I used throughout the process of research and development for my product. The Mac included Adobe Photoshop and Safari which were vital for the building of both Ancillary products. The Mac also included Imovie, which is the foundation on which I created my music video. Itunes, Garageband and Safari were all accessible through the mark and were a big part in allowing me to research and transfer music for the main and ancillary products. Aside from the Mac I have used an Ipad, Iphone, Android Mobile, SLR Camera and memory card for both research and planning purposes. Throughout the process I have realised that many media technologies are needed to not build a project, but even plan a project. I have learned that I  need to work with media technologies more to gain confidence and professionalism within those products.

The first ancillary product I have been working on is the CD design. As far as preparation goes I have looked at other CD designs that group into the same genre of music as my chosen song. I have completed a rough draft (pencil sketch) of the front cover for the CD in my book. I have also looked online for photos that are available for my use that fit in with the product I am looking to create. I plan to complete a photo shoot and research deeper into similar products. I also hope to collect honest public opinions about the product I am creating, in hope that their judgements will encourage me to create something that appeals to a range of people, and not just myself.

As for footage I only have the chorus shots left shoot. As for the shots during the verses of my piece I am close to completion. To ensure I finish all I have remaining, I am going to film a couple of hours each evening after school. This might mean I have a lot of extra footage, but i'd rather be safe than sorry. I still have the ancillary products to complete. During free periods I will use the macs in school to continue editing my music video.

Basic Plot: Jealous colleagues conspire to get a top London cop transferred to a small town and paired with a witless new partner. On the beat, the pair stumble upon a series of suspicious accidents and events.

Released in 2007, the creators of Hot Fuzz  would benefit mostly by using NMT to promote their film.

They released their trailer on youtube via the popular youtube channel 'movieclips' (http://www.youtube.com/user/movieclips) which is renowned for releasing the newest and most popular movie trailers. This ensured their trailer not go ignored by the public. It is a good tactic as viewing movie trailers online is one of the more easier and enjoyable ways to be informed about a film.

They also created a Facebook fanpage. This was a great way to promote their film to the young target audience their film was aimed at as Facebook is mostly used by the younger generations.
