Project I Website

Prototypes for Project I

Below are initial mock-ups/examples of Phase 2 of the project, which consists of taking the screenshot of four particular websites onto a grid. I have examples from 5 days: 9/26, 9/27, 9/28, 10/2 and 10/3. There are a few caveats that I will refine before proceeding in my continued documentation. The first is to have a more standardized size of screenshot. Next, I will be more precise in placing the four images into the grid in exactly equal proportions. Third, I will seek a continuity across time of day that I make my documentations. Another altered step is to close or minimize all possible advertisements. The "Political Grid" quadrant map I used as a template for visualizing placing the screenshots 4 different sites on the same plane. However, I do not use this same vertical axis. Instead, I Place "corporate" on the upper half, represented by CNN & Fox News, and "Independent" on the lower half of the vertical axis. Again, CNN is not defined

Class Project I: Revised Project Proposal

Revised Proposal for Project 1 Reflection: After proposing an initial idea to create a documentary to explore the infrastructure of the broadcast media system, I immediately realized that this idea had to be changed into something more manageable for the time period allowed. To accomplish a piece that would fit the original vision will require different circumstances and resources. Instead of scaling the project back, I have decided to shift my focus onto something more manageable within the context of the due date for Project 1. I will instead propose a piece that allows me to do most of the work from the computer and in the studio, rather than heading out into the field on video shoots, and give myself a contained and immediate time period in which to focus my efforts.

Class Project: Short Proposal Outline

Title: Further Investigations into the Media Monopoly Abstract: A first-person, observational documentary-style moving image work 'lifting the hood' of the mainstream media, including but not limited to: its social/political history, its physical architecture, and its hidden infrastructure Intro your project idea: What allows our mass media systems to function? In New York City, the media capital of the world, there are the broadcasting studios and headquarters of all of the major media conglomerates. What physical spaces do these companies and productions operate in? What information and images are they creating and conveying on a daily basis? What technical components allow for the functioning of their operations? This project will explore these questions and more. Background : how does this project relate to your ongoing work? This project is an extension of my previous interests and studies in media, as well my practice in shooting video, and editing together a
