MEST4 Linked production: Research and planning

1) Confirm your production brief. You write this yourself but it's absolutely crucial this is clear, appropriate and achievable. You should have done this already - the original blog post was here - but it may have changed as a result of your preliminary exercise. I have changed my idea production brief from video to print;this has allowed me to emulate my ideas and made them much more ideal to my essay than doing a video production. 

2) Research: detailed notes on at least THREE texts similar to what you are creating. What are the key conventions? What can you learn/borrow from the examples you have looked at?

3) Project schedule: when will you shoot and edit this production? Make this a week-by-week schedule leading up to Easter. Key dates: we break up for Easter on Friday 31 March and the final deadline is Wednesday 18 April.

4) Script - see the BBC Writers' Room for advice/script formatting. If you're making a music video, you'll want to write a treatment instead. This is an example treatment that I provide for GCSE Media students studying this topic. For print productions, this means writing all the text for the cover, contents and feature articles. Write this in Microsoft Word so you can proofread and spellcheck the work before moving it into Photoshop.
As i am doing print i need to ensure that i look over example magazines which is the text that i am going to use with in my print this is then going to  be used much more easier to plan and will also consist with pictures to go with the main story line.

5) Sketching and drafting - for video-based productions this means a storyboard - sheets available in DF07 or you can print out your own AQA storyboard sheet. For print productions, this means detailed sketches of all your pages. As i am not the best of drawer I am going to take pictures and make brief sketches of the print pages and also front cover of the page also therefore to apply this correctly, sketching out the the pages is going to enable to make change and apply them correctly to the print. 

6) Shot list - use Microsoft Word or a template like this to help you. Remember, you need a shot list whether you are filming or carrying out a print photo shoot - professional quality original images are essential if you want to reach the top level. Using the camera will allow me to take the shots that are needed to ensure that gain all the different locations to make the print successful and work with flow connection page by page.  

7) Mise-en-scene: casting/model details, costume and make-up, props, lighting, location scouting for video productions etc. Use photographs to document and plan your mise-en-scene - using your phone is acceptable for this.
firstly, lighting needs to be consistent to ensure that model in the shoot is visible

Media Research:

Your classwork AND homework is to start your Notes and Quotes document and reach at least 2,000 words - due after half-term. http://www.menshealth.co.uk/building-muscle/get-big/the-rock-pain-and-gain-workout-programme :  Men's health does not only have a segment on the rock about the text it also has a segment explaining how he trained for the actual film and within this  aritcle  it states within the opening line  " Take on the workouts the Hollywood heavyweight used to bulk up for his meatiest role".  evidently, this shows that younger individuals are going to be forced to think about their Masculinity, which then follows through to their represent in modern society and this will then overall have a problem with how they look and their image.  on the other hand from the reviewers of the film (from IMDB) and through this research was able to find a majority of  positive comments about the film which consider the fact of representation of young males and also fema

MEST4 Summer Project

1. Choose a  media text  and  media debate/issue  that you are interested in and that is less than five years old. Get this choice of text and topic  approved  by your coursework teacher. filled  with tons of action and a bunch of overly masculine guys, including Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, and Anthony Mackie. I chose this subject and film specifically because I am doing a project similar to this in my Masculinity and Media; also the famiar faces does suggest sings of masculinity (from the use of characters).  This movie has all the stereotypes of manliness and masculinity which is my main case study within this project. The main characters in this movie are users of the gym which suggest that they are very concerned about their image which has lead them to become individuals of  bigorexia  Furthermore, who work at a gym in Miami and think they are the ultimate "alpha male". They are portrayed in the film as being very dumb but also very violent because of all of the ster
