Unit 5 Research techniques

Research for any media production is important to ensure that the information, or references you are making are factual or hold some relevance. If you want to make make a film based around the second world war you need to have some knowledge of the times there and the events that took place to create that period in time, otherwise you will not be able to convey an accurate or believable production.

Techniques for research can be as basic as surfing the internets sites of google and all that it has to offer. Reading books on the history of said subject. listening to talks or watching videos explaining key facts to you. Actually going to historical places of interest (if your production is a historical take on something).


Another example of how I have used research techniques in my time on this course is when at work I was asked to research the pros and cons of file upload sites such as Megaupload. (although this website is no longer available due to them being issued a stop and desist order for some illegal activities that were made possible through the website, e.g Piracy).

I already apologize for the size of the text, but any bigger and you cant see the whole picture. Blogger how I love thee.
