Pre Oscars Controversy research (Multicam) Unit 35

-
Kevin Hart tweeted homophobic things in 2011 which has come back to bite him now as he has had to step down from hosting the Oscars this year because of it. The Oscars therefore has no host this year for the first time in 30 years.


Bryan singer, director of X-men and bohemian rhapsody has been accused of sexual abuse to under age boys, these allegations have been around for years but have just now started gaining traction again after the success of bohemian Rhapsody, Bryan Singers BAFTA nomination was revoked after the allegations began to surface again.




The movie "Detainment" is also under flak as it received an Oscar nomination, the film was made without the real life victims parents consent and criticises that they have to relive it all over again, they also stated that it's disgusting that they had a child actor act out their sons final moments.

Over the past few years, the viewing figures for the Oscars have been on a consistent downward spiral and the constant mistakes that keep happening are not helping it.
2014- 43.7 million views
2015- 36.6 million views
2016- 34.3 million views
2017- 32.9 million views.
If the theme continues, I predict this years Oscars will have around 30.4 million viewers.

Cinematography, Editing, Live Action Short and Makeup and Hairstyling are being given out during commercial breaks, detainment is nominated for best live action short film. Is this their attempt to cover it up?

Task 2- Understanding the structure and job roles in a media sector

Structure of media sector: There are multiple media sectors including film, TV, Animation, Games, Advertising and more, each sector is compiled of many different elements, for example the film sector comprises of the individual jobs like Cinematography, production, pre-production, distribution etc. Each sector is an important part of bringing a particular media project together as each job keeps the ball rolling and if someone starts to not work up to par then it could throw a spanner in the works and slow down or stop production completely. advertising is a role that expands to every media sector in order to gain attraction towards a production although each sector's advertising strategies can vary, some may advertise films through trailers on TV and online because these are where most people will see them, advertising also expands to the physical world too as posters are placed on bus stops and billboards are made to advertise. Public service media (PSM) is broadcasting fi...

Task 2- scriptwriting

-
1 - Issues.  "Issues" was written to be a fictional sob story short film about a homeless person trying to show his overwhelming kindness while also taking that was formatted correctly with size 12 and "courier" font, however the script was never completed therefore the film was never made. The overall language and dialogue used was intended to make the reader feel sympathetic towards the man. I have not used any brackets in my script therefore I have not included elements of a shooting script (The shooting script is written by the director) however I did use quotation marks which unnecessary in a master script. I have not used any slug lines in this script which is a major detail which is left out and makes it harder for the reader to picture the setting. Most of the script is actions over dialogue because I wanted the film to be visually based around the man and his emotions. 2 -Reflections. "Reflections" was written to be a psychological thriller a...

Post Oscars controversy review Multi camera Unit 35

Tom and I watched the Oscars and decided to take notes on the controversial talking points for our rundown, there was more to discuss controversy wise this time around than the pre Oscars rundown, from Trump, Jussie Smollet, Spike Lee and more.       We did our post rundown without a script and completely improvised, I had started to plan a script but I could not finish it on time to film.            The quality and professionalism would have been an improvement if a script was used. What we did well was that despite being improvised, we did well in switching topics and staying focused our talking points. Referring back to the lack of a script, we had to film the same subject multiple times as we simply forgot what we were going to say or thought of a better thing to say in general. Most of us agree that our rundown was a lot better than the pre rundown, especially in the tech side of it beca...
