Film for college:

For my communication’s module I had to make a video for the college. The college also had an open day coming up so we decide to make a promo video for our course. For this I had to come up with ideas to show off each of the modules then go out and film it and then edit it. I had decided to do a montage of each of the modules to show what we do and what you could do in the course.­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ The biggest pull to our course is for the film and editing so we knew we would have to show that off the most.

I started our filming with us doing a mock green screen recording and getting 5 to 6 different camera angle of us just talk on the green screen, most of the shot where over the shoulder or from behind the camera to give the look of you are there watching us film. I made sure to get a lot of green in each shot as I could make a sort of mise en scene with using the green glow that the green screen gave off. That would make sure that the audience new the all the shot where linked and gave us a nice consistence in that section for the promo video.

Then we moved on the editing, which I had to upload the clips from the filming of the green screen on to a Mac computer and open it in Final Cut Pro set it up so I could make the editing look like it took no time at all. After that we moved on the shorter clips of us in the class room do your work with different programs open. Then we went up and did over the shoulder shots of us working on music, web design, image editing, communications, graphic design and we got b-roll of pan shots of the class to break up the montage.

Then the filming was done so I up loaded all the shots on to one of the Macs and started to do the editing. I kept in mind the rule of six as this was not a story I could not use all the rules but then where help full anyway, as well the research I had do on mise en scene and even the soviet montage theory I could use so of the theory and apply it to my edits.

So I stated my editing with the film keeping the shots with to do with it with green in them to keep them linked as well that followed into the editing. With the rest of the editing it was more to show what programs we used and the quality of your work with a little of the process of how we did your work as that is a longer process than we had time to show in the short promo video. I also add title to each of the scenes of the montage so you know what module it was in the video. I the get a song off the internet to play over the promo video. Once I had add it to the video I had to change some of the edits to fit the song better as a cut should really happen on a beat of the song this helps to keep a pace in the video.

Communications And Analyzing A Speech

Analyzing A Speech:

I am doing an analyse on the speech made by Leonardo DiCaprio at the opening of Climate Summit 2014. That this climate summit Leonardo was speaking as an messenger of peaces for climate change is need to be taken on an Industrial level. I am going to analyse this speech on clarity of delivery, the message, command of pitch, tone and articulation and on eye contact.

Leonardo's speech was good because it because it carried very well when he spoke. He made his voice sound confident and he was strong when he jump on to important words in the speech. He had made the speech clear on the delivery, he spoke clearly and with a strong voice he didn't stutter or stumble on any words. I found his body language to be very formal and but still had a passion when he get to the bigger points.

There was no statistics given at the speech but he did mention that government, companies and scientists all have staggering statistics on the climate problem. Leonardo DiCaprio had talk about being involved in protests on the climate change. I also think he had done research on the problem as well as talking to people on the climate and this speech was for the Climate Summit of 2014 everyone at the summit was there to talk about the climate problem.

I had found this speech every interesting as the issues that he spoke on i found important as well he didn't make that speech boring he had made a small joke at the start and he didn't have a dead tone to his voice he kept it alive. I don't know if Leonardo has achieved his aim in the presentation as climate problem is still going o the this day and dose not seem to be slowing as much as it needs to.

The points that were made in the speech were that:

• The climate problem is real and just a made up.
• The climate problem is peaking to the point that we cant go back.
• The climate problem is beyond individuals fixing the problem.
• The climate problem is now to only able to be fixed on an industrial level.
• We should be criticizing the industry not giving them tax money.
• Climate change is the biggest threat to the world at this time.

The points that seem the most effective to me were the points on the industry's, at it is now up to them to help to with the climate problem and that they have one of the biggest impressions on the climate and that point that we should be criticizing the industry on what they do and how they work and stop giving them more money.

Communication models and Communications In Contemporary Society

Communication models and Communications In Contemporary Society:

Communication is latin for communicaire which means “To share”, communication is the act passing a message and being mutually understood whetter that you are using signs, sounds or a device. How good we are at communicating is often determined by how you can share, impart information or find common tool to communicate with.
The basic steps to communication are that you have to have a communicative intent, a message composition, a way to encode the message, a transmission of a signal, reception of that signal, a way to decode that signal and a way to interpret that message by a recipient.

Reasons why we Communicate:

• For Survival
• To Co-operation
• For Personal needs
• In Relationships
• To Persuade
• Gain Power
• For Buying & Selling
• To Learn
• Making Decisions
• To Express Your Self

Survival:

we have to communicate with each other so we can trap and cach foot even to grow food we have to have a way of asking of help with such things. Say a pack of dogs were about to attack someone you would need to be able to warning to them or ask for help to scare them off. We would not have gotten to the top of the food chain without communication.

Co-operation:

To co-operant with some one you need to be able to pass information to get a job done. You can't just stand around nothing would get done. To co-operant we need some form of communication or we would just have society of people living in fields.

Personal Needs:

If you need food and you were sick, how you would you ask for food or even tell someone you're sick if there was no communication? You would just sit there dieing communication is key to living and to get what you want in life if you can't ask or demand something then you will never get something.

Relationships:

in a relationships you need to express your self if that is to tell someone that you love them or to tell them you think they are driving you mad. To a relationships with someone there needs to be some form of bond, but if there is no communication then how could you form a bond?

Persuasion:

To persuade someone you need to move there thinking over to what you want them to think or believe to do that you must have way to motivating them one of the best way of ding that is through communication. We persuade people all the time while talking telling them about something we did or even a lie is persuading someone to believe in you.

Power:

there is power in communication, if you believe in the bible than you have give power to someone through a book but that book was communication the teachings of someone. Someone wrote that book and chose the words and they had the power using communication to make you go to church or believe in something. That even when in a war if you can communicate with the the rest of your troops you can control your fighters and make plans giving you power over your opponent.

The Communication Process:

The communication process is broken down into 5 parts:

1. The Message, you must come up with a message you wish to send.
2. Encoding, you have to encode the message .i.e a way to make the message on a pice of paper or by talking.
3. A Channel, you have to have a way of giving that encoded message like with sound or with the postman.
4. Decoding, you have to be able to decode the encoded message like if you don't have ears you can't hear the message or if you don't live have a house how can the postman give you the massage.
5. Receiver, even if you can get the message but if you don't speak that same language or you can't read that message then the message is not understood and the communication process has failed.
