weekly production log 2

My second week I believe that I had enough research on games so I focused my attention mostly on finishing my documentary script. I gave all the possible reasons as to why games are so entertaining to most and why they play a big role in the business industry as a whole. I began to discuss the topic is it true that video games make people violent or not. I need people thoughts and option on the matter so I start to interview some people for my documentary. I also wrote some example of violent video that has been contrivers the media games such as GTA and Mortal kombat.

Unit 27 - Nichols' Mode

Realism 
Realism is something being portrayed as being realistic without any kind of fiction or unnatural thing in a TV show or movie. One of the reasons why realism is used is so that the audited can relate to the characters making them feel more real and for the audience to feel closer to them as person and gain personal identification, which makes movies and TV shows all the more enjoyable for them as a result even if not everyone enjoys it.  Adding realism to a movie or TV shows can actually feel like you are in the scene with the characters in the scene and this makes the audience even more engaged as a result.
  
Dramatisation
Dramatisation is when a story such as film builds a structure, which creates drama. The reason for dramatisation is that it appeals to some members of the audience. As a result some people will be engaged and include to watch a certain movie, TV, play and novel if it contains themes of drama in it. Over the past year years dramatization has been improving along with no stop audiences which just seem to keep on increasing as time goes on.  

Narrativisation

Narrartivsation is the sense of atmosphere, which is, presents danger in the eyes of the audiences. Narrativsion used that the audiences are ended in certain scenes of movie. An example of this would be when a main character is in the risk at the risk of dying. This can make audience fear for the main characters life. By a story doing it shows that the audiences feel pity for the main character and even root for them, which can make a main character likable in the audiences eyes. 


Performative

Performative is when the narrator becomes part of a story and possibly become the main character. By using this techniques in movies it feels somewhat like a narrator telling a fairy tale but than in a realistic way. This would be appealing to some audiences, as the audiences would hear what the narrator thinks about their surrounding in scenes depending on the environment and how the narrator feels at a specific time. By a movie, novel and TV using the performative techniques audience can understand why the narrator behave in a certain way to other character. 



Interactive

Interactive are mostly in TV shows in interviews.  The interactive appeal to some audiences as they get insight into information’s and what other people think of the topic at hand in the interview.  Audiences can also find a lot of subjectivity and objectivity when comes to interviews and thats what some of the audience want. When comes to movies some times it's hard to understand a characters and why they behave a certain way and they they take certain actions. 



Observational
Observational is the person talking to the audience. The audience can also be considered as the cameras. An example of this would be the Big Brother TV show were the audience get to see celebrities  live with other people which creates a lot drama, arguments and fights ect.


Reflective 
Reflexive is when the narrator interacts with the people in their show. By the narrator interacting with other people the audience may get can their narrators opinion and can also end up feeling like story. These relatives  be examples such as documentaries and interviews.



Expository 

Expository is also known as the voice of god. Expository one narrator speaking through out and talking about what is happening so that audience can understand what they are witnessing on screen. Example of this would be the TV shows called Planet earth and the person narrating is non other then David Bowie.

Unit 27 - vice documentary

 The documentray of crime and punishment in the Gaza

https://www.vice.com/en_uk/video/crime-and-punishment-in-the-gaza-strip-part-1

Everything and talks about everything.  The description of the documentary says in 2007 we tried and failed to get into Gaza through the Israeli-controlled Ereaz Crossing. Back then the rival Palestinian factions of Hamas and Fatahwere engaged in a bloody war for control of this tiny strip of land. Hamas won. When the post-Mubarak government of Egypt decided to start letting small numbers of folks into Gaza through their Rafah crossing, we knew it was ochance to finally get a rare glimpse of the embattled Gaza Strip and to see what life was like under the rule of Hamas.

Israel and Gaza were not friendly terms as some of the people of Israel attacked and assassinated a massive amount of people in Gaza. Because of this Gaza lunched planes to attack Israel back. The narrator to this didn't really get anyone’s opinion on this. This documentary was really set on just facts. the war between nation shouldn't every happen.

The people at fault here would be some of the people of Israel as they attacked the murdered innocent people. Gaza on the other hand wanted to use votes, elections so the citizens choose how they live which isn't fully just made on the governments that rules over.

I think what could have helped was the fact that only one person in the documentary gave there opinion for a 8 minutes documentary lacks in that but it makes for it for information instead.  The documentary only interviews two people.  While the documentary doesn’t have two separate parts it could have still have been better if it wasn't so informative but got peoples opinion on the matter at hand.

Gaza is represented as a dangerous place as the narrator said they could get bombed at any time simply for standing in Gaza as people just visiting.  Everyone in the documentary seems to be represented as decent people. Close to the end of the video you see a militant group like Alansard, which seem want revenge for what the people of Israel have done for killing their people.

 It's like the militant Alansard people are ignorant to the fact the more people die the more suffering and war there will just be until there's nothing left. The documentary could have honestly looked at more positive things than just negatives which this documentary was full of which was one sided and only really got the point of view of the people of Gaza and not the Israel people.


In Saddam's Shadow: Baghdad 10 Years After the Invasion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLDbSvEZka6GEc-dR2PcxIRGhw5nRFPvs4&v=zhnNIhV4EsU

This is brief documentary how life is in the Saddam after a giant war broke out. After the
war finally ended people have been happier at Saddam and citizens feel they have more freedom.  What the documentary 
first does well is to show some of places of Saddam. There also an interview were
citizens seem to admire places like the USA as it is a completely free country with so many 
opportunities.
  This gives in sight on to some of the people of Saddam and how some they feel about countries like America and their own countries. 


People in Saddam have been getting killed for breaking from religious tradition. As such people that are me bands and where just black clothing ect. the effect of this is that people are getting murdered simply for dressing a certain way which isn't seen as being appropriate along the victims being Muslim.  

Police are having a hard time actually protecting citizens as thousands and thousands and of people from bombs being transport in to different parts.  It is repented positively at the start but over time the documentary goes on to the negative side of things. By doing it makes the interview some what balanced. What I think it was missing was the documentary being objective. The documentary didn't interview anyone that was really effected by the way this. If the documentary were to do that than it would have been a pretty good documentary. What the documentary really did was get peoples opinion the matter that was all subjective.
