First Lesson

First lesson of media, we learnt the simple stuff. Just learning about the the modules that we will be doing this year & how much each part of the module is worth.
We started off learning to understand the production chain, which is:

• the pitch
• development
• principal photography
• post-production
• sales agent
• distribution
• marketing
• exhibition

We also starting off learning "how do we define British film?" 

• The Stars
• The Director
• The Producer
• The Crew
• The Post-Production (SFX/ Editing/ Sound mixing etc) 
• & The Finance

After we learnt the above, we were told about the importance of the research and evaluation for our media coursewrok we will be doing within this year. For the coursework of making our film, we will have to research the elements of the genre of film in which we have chose to do, such as horror, romance, etc. The influences of the directors and stars that filmed in films that have already been made. To follow their, way in which they all work together and combined each persons personality to work together well & make the film effective. 

We have to come up with many idea's so we can work them together & work around with different techniques.
