Rep of age in Freak
representation of age in the clip of 'Freak', the age grouped being mainly represented is teenagers. and there are different types of teenager qualities that are represented in this clip the first type of teenager quality is that some are moody all the time, they feel lonely they have no one to turn to. another type of teenage group is in the form of the girl's older step brother this type of teen age is more arrogant and rude. he likes to make trouble and laugh and joke and have fun with his Friends.
another type groups represented is adults and the representation of this group is not a very good one. we can see this when the girl is talking to her brother in a different country and they are talking about her their mum trying to run away from a taxi fair. in contrast to the responsible brother who had to pay for her. also the adults are seen in a bad light because while she is the cinema there is a pervert trying to talk to her. also the adults seem to be easier to trick because the boy is able to break in to a pool and have a party with out being punished.

compae and contrast 24 hour party people's production t that of a hollywood film
24 hour party people
A 24 hour party person (Michael Winterbottom, 2002) is a film set in Manchester. This film is about the music com unity in the 1970's- 1990's. it is about how this groups the Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop, Happy Mondays were formed and the night club The Hacienda, which was one of the greatest night clubs in the world. All of this was put together by tony Wilson and the record label Factory Records. 24 hour party people had many production companies founding it these are Baby Cow Production, Channel Four Films, Film Council, Film Four, Revolution Films, and Wave Pictures. from this we can know that this is an independent film because the money being put in to the film are coming form different directions so the risks of the film flopping and bankrupting a company is very small. Where as in Hollywood film they would only have a smaller number of production companies as the production companies are willing to give more money to a Hollywood film that have a mainstream audience so they have a better chance of their film making more money.
The film breaks the fourth wall many times, for example at the beginning after he crashes in to the ground tony Wilson saying the scene was symbolic of what is to come on many levels 'I don't want to say too much, don't want to spoil it'. He does this again later on in the film when the real Devoto says "I definitely don't remember this happening." the target audience for 24 hour party people mature people but this film has lots of very funny parts in it. This film mostly is aimed at a male audience as most of the main actors are male. The audience will be between 16 and 35 because there are many scenes in this film with young people drinking and smoking and taking drugs. They would also be of a working class background. The biggest use of synergy is the music in the opening credits of 24 hour party people. The film starts with a song by the “Happy Mondays” in the opening credits. Tony Wilson is at a concert in Manchester 1976, the Sex Pistols are performing.
Most independent films do not have special effects so it is seen as rare and it breaks the verisimilitude when to have special effects 24 hour party people does have special effects, this is when tony meets god an god speaks how he can deal with his problems. Independent film are away of representing British life and not showing a fantasy sugar coat version of what this is called kitchen sink. Cross media convergence is also in the film this is when a record label sends an artist to sing the sound track of the film so the artist gets publicity as well as the film.
The new digital technology has affected both independent and Hollywood films. Independent film due to this now are able to use special effects , also Hollywood film can create a whole new world with anything they want in it and make it look as real as possible (CGI).

for miss Severn Sound work on skins
skins
in the clip of skins i was looking at how age is represented in the different characters. with a range from teen age rs to middle age people. the representation i think of the teen age rs is that they run the house and their own live and they get to do what they want, and as long as they find a crafty way of getting out of it. and the representation of the adults are either loud all the time, and they are always swearing the are not good role models for the kids and the can be out smarted by their kids, this is shown through the kids farther. or the parent does not speak often gets on with every one looks after Evey one the is represented thought the mother.
the first sound we hear is the clip is the bells these are not tradition church bell but they are faster than normal church bell to represent that the character is a teen ager. the sound we hear next is the alarm this is diagetic sound which mean the character can hear it. this is to connote that it is time for the teenager to wake up, as he wakes up this show that he is not the stereo typical teen age er that likes to have a lie in. as he turns off the alarm the music turns on this is a non diasgetic sound as the character can not hear this, but shown to seem that he is hearing it. This music is synchronous sound as the pace of the characters activities is in time with the music, this can make the audience obsorbed in to what they are watching and it also emphasizes the images being viewed. because the teen ager is working out to this music this represents that teen agers care about how they look physically. then we hear the alarm on his watch goes off again this is to let him know that it is time to peep at one of his neighbours through the window. because his watch is synchronised to the exact time when he she comes to the window this shows that him and his neighbour have and agreement, and they with want him to stare at her naked body. this shows that she knows that he is watching her and she clearly enjoys it, this represent that she is a middle aged woman who like that atention of young men.
the we hear the clicks of his sister shoes on the street and this represents that she likes to party all night and she quit rebellious, because she is walking on the street when the rest of he family are just waking up. Tony's sister signal to him then he turns on his music all the way to the maximum volume to distact his dad, the music is a diagetic sound, it is very fast and upbeat, it falls into the "Rock" genre of music, through the type of music he listens to, it represents that he is a teenager. the music then moves from diagetic to nondiagetic because the shot swithces to Tony's sister because she can not hear the nusic.
the dad screaming is the first bit of duologue we hear in the clip most of his diologe is swearing and being rude to his son.'every fucking morning.' thought the language he uses we can see that he does not represent the typical father figure. the mode of address he uses is very informal this add to the sence that he is not a typicl father. the mode of address of tony is much more calm than his dad. which is shown throught his diologe
the mother he very little diologue yet she represents the motherly caring figure well because she is in the kitchen cooking and she asks him 'what do you want for breakfast love.'
in conclusions representations through sound of the characters are very bias, because they make the adults looks like kids walk all over them .

the change new media technology has made on editing in the last 30 years
New media technology is the word used to describe the emergence of digital, computerised o networked information. new media technology is quicker smaller more efficient and compressed forms of data when compared to the older analogue equipment.
non linear this allows an editor to edit the film at any stage on a computer. un like 30 year ago with linear editing thsis was very in convenient because the editor had to literally cut and past each scene in the right place.In non-linear editing,the film is mot lost or modified dur
ing editing. Professional editing software records the decisions of the editor in an edit decision list (EDL) which can be interchanged with other editing tools. many different variations of the film can existed with the need of more than one copy ths allows the editing of a film to bery flexible.this also allow the editor to change cuts and descions that they want to change that were on the (EDL). the film that hase been editied will not loss any quality because its does not have to keep being encoded. The costs of editing systems have proliferated such that non-linear editing tools can be used people in thir homes. Some editing software can now be accessed free as web applications; some, like Cinelerra and Blender3D, like Microsoft's Windows Movie Maker or Apple Computer's iMovie.(wh we used at chadwell heath).
editing before digital technology in the 1970's CMX 600 was introduced this made editing so much easier because the allowed the editor can use a light pen to put any scene anywhere he wants it with out the long process that it was before.It was introduced in 1971 by CMX Systems this is reffered to as the (RAVE)Random Access Video Editor. The 600 had 2 black & white monitors built in, with a light pen used to control the system. The right monitor, played the preview video this was used by the editor to make cuts and edit decisions, by using the light pen. The left monitor was used to display the edited video.
due to today's new media technology this mean any one can produce media. this helps the audience by enabling the to indulge all types of media because the editing of the films are easier to do and it is not a long inconvenient process. also with today simplistic method of making film this allows any one with ab it of drive to make a film where as 30 years ago only really qualified editors were involved in film making.
technology converge is when two functions are joined together which makes a process in film making much easier. digital light and special effects can be used before the footage is filmed. this mean that after a film is made it does not need altering.
in conclusion has made a drastic leap and has impacted on the production of films in a major way i think that the modernisation of editing has opened doors for more people to achieve what was probably once seen as unachievable. on the other hand it takes the professionalism away from that certain job so the job is not fully appreciated any more.
