STANDARD 1.0: EXAMINE THE VIDEO PRODUCTION INDUSTRY
1.1: RESEARCH EVENTS THAT LED TO CURRENT PRACTICES
Introduction to Standard:
I selected this media best by simply looking for review of whatever I needed. I learned the
history of media and how over time, it has grown to a huge industry. I will use these
observations by pertaining them to the equipment and techniques for filming.
1.1.1 Develop a timeline for major technological developments and events in the history of
media

Observations about how your artifact relates to the standard, and your evaluation of its success
or what it teaches about the standard:
This timeline helped me out quite a bit. It showed me when media first started and how it
worked out. I really like learning about the beginning of film and media.
1.1.2 Explain the importance of industry pioneers and significant moments in media history

Observations about how your artifact relates to the standard, and your evaluation of its success

One significant date that happened was in 1895 when the Lumiere brothers created the first
motion picture camera. This was the birth of motion pictures and created a hobby and activity
for people to do.
needed. You may need to pay the source to use their materials. Maks sure the agreement is in
writing.
1.3.1 List the components of the pre-production phase (e.g., purpose, script writing, target
audience, budget, schedule, script writing, output medium, etc.)
Title of Artifact: Pre-Production Phase
Creator: After Effects
Date of Entry: April 6th, 2015
Observations about how your artifact relates to the standard, and your evaluation of its success
or what it teaches about the standard.
The pre-production phase is the process of fixing some of the elements involved in a film. Script
writing is when you plan out the dialogue and actions of characters. When developing a movie,
you need to target a certain type of audience, whether it been young teens or older adults. A
budget is when the creators of the movie balance out how much money they are going to need
and spend on the production.
1.3.2 Conduct a pre-production meeting to create a production plan
Title of Artifact: Pre-Production Meeting
Creator:Budo Videos
Date of Entry: April 7th, 2015
Observations about how your artifact relates to the standard, and your evaluation of its success
or what it teaches about the standard.
In this pre-production meeting, Budo Jake, a video crew member at Budo Videos sat down with
Eddie Bravo to discuss their latest production. They met in LA to talk about a production plan. In
this meeting, they mainly focused talking about a budget and how they were going to make a
script.
1.3.4 List the components of the production phase (e.g., selecting equipment, operating
equipment, interviewing, directing, lighting, audio, etc.)
Title of Artifact: Production Phases
Creator: STIR
Date of Entry: April 8th, 2015
Observations about how your artifact relates to the standard, and your evaluation of its success
or what it teaches about the standard.
In this video, I was shown how selecting and operating equipment is key to creating a good
movie. If you choose a camera, for example, that is great for slow motion but you need to shoot
in high motion, you are going to have a problem. Operating the equipment is key as well. If you
do not understand how to work, for example, a boom mic, ou are going to have difficulty filming
your production.
1.3.4 List the components of the post-production phase (e.g., video and audio editing, graphics,
output medium, etc.)
Title of Artifact: Components of Post-Production
Creator: Technicolor
Date of Entry: April 9th, 2015
Observations about how your artifact relates to the standard, and your evaluation of its success
or what it teaches about the standard.
In this video, you basically take a tour of what it is like inside a post-production phase. People
are editing different things. There is one editing the graphics of the movie, while one edits the
audio. It seems like they do not work together, but in reality, this is a huge team process that
takes up a lot of time.
1.3.5 List the steps in conducting a post-production meeting
everything comes out exactly how he or she sees it. The editor edits the entire process of the
movie along with the directors help.
1.4.2 Develop appropriate communication skills when working with clients, crew, and talent
Title of Artifact: Communication Skills
Creator: tecnicolor
Date of Entry: April 12
Observations about how your artifact relates to the standard, and your evaluation of its success
or what it teaches about the standard.
When on set, you need to speak clearly and get your point across quickly. As a director, they
need to be able to explain exactly how they want. They are the ones directing, so this is their
movie coming to life. If something doesnt come out as they want, there is a lack of
communication.
1.5: EXPLORE CAREERS IN THE VIDEO INDUSTRY
Introduction to Standard: I used this media because it explored each career in the industry. I
learned even more about each job. I will use this by using each career in my films.
1.5.1 Research occupations found within the video production industry
Title of Artifact: Careers in the Film Industry
Creator: Ross
Date of Entry: April 13
Observations about how your artifact relates to the standard, and your evaluation of its success
or what it teaches about the standard.
One occupation in the film industry is being a director. You could also go into screenwriting,
where they develop scripts for films and TV shows. You can be a camera operator who
physically films the shots for the director. An editor is someone who edits through the entire
process of the movie which takes up to months just for one movie.
1.5.2 Compare major organizations or institutions involved with the video production industry
Title of Artifact: Dreamworks vs Disney
Creator: Dough L.
Date of Entry: April 14
Observations about how your artifact relates to the standard, and your evaluation of its success
or what it teaches about the standard.
Dreamworks is a gigantic organization that is involved with the video production industry. A lot of
people confuse Dreamworks to be apart of Disney, however, it is not. Disney and Dreamworks
are two major different companies. They are two of the top businesses that work in the film
industry and make billions of dollars every year.
1.5.3 Create a job description for a video production occupation

Directors are one of the first people to be hired on a movie production. They must be on set at
all times during the process of filming. They will communicate with the actors as well as almost
every crew member. He or she will need to direct orders with a clear voice. After filming is
complete, they must be present through the entire time of the editing process.
