Task 3 Factual Television Analysis

               Task 3 Factual Television Analysis


List three devices on which television can be watched and listened.

v Television set
v Computer
v Laptop
v Mobile phone
v Tablet


Think about devices you own or watch which show television programmes. 

Sound quality

Television set: when watching a television program I have found that watching it on a television set, that the quality is best depending on the type of television set. I found that its best to watch television shows on HD television shows. Simply best the sound is very clear and louder so has a bigger effect on me and my emotional response to the television show.

Another device that I own that I think is good in terms of quality when watching a television show is my laptop. The quality on this device is good as you can hear what you are watching clearly and loud.

Even though I don’t own any devices that I don’t think have bad quality. I do own devices that are better quality than other. The device that I won which has good quality but as well as other devices I own is my previous mobile phone. The quality of this device wasn’t good because it was hard to hear therefore this didn’t help to portray the mood and meaning of the television show I was watching.



Capability for surround sound and panning

The best device that I own that is good when watching television shows, in relations to he capability for surround sound and panning, is again my television. Seeing that the television set has a built in stereo the sound projects throughout the room, meaning that the television show that you are watching has a greater effect on you. Due to the surround sound because it portrays the mood and meaning in a greater sense.

The worst device that I own in relations to the capability for surround sound and panning is, my mobile phone. This actually depends on the headphones as well as the phone device. If the headphones have poor quality then the sound wont project well, meaning the mood and meaning of the television show wont is good at all.
      
Summarising possible effects of poor quality sound and panning

There are a broad range of effects that can demine the mood and meaning of a moving image production due to the poor quality of sound. One effect that this could have is that the audience wouldn’t be able to hear the dialogue being said by the characters. Therefore you might not get an understanding of the characters relationship with one another, so you would have a misunderstanding of the plot and narrative of the moving image production. 


Another effect is that if the quality of the moving image production was at a poor standard, this could ruin your emotional response to the moving image. For example if there was a tragic scene between characters but you couldn’t hear the sound, then this would resort in us as the audience not having a emotional response in this sense sadness. In other words the sound quality could ruin the mood atmosphere. 

Also if the sound quality of a moving image production was very poor, you could lose possible interest in what you’re watching. Due to the fact that you aren’t getting the full and intended effect, so wouldn’t find the moving image production enjoyable or amusing. Also because you wouldn’t have an understanding of the plot due to muffled dialogue. 


Not only can poor sound ruin the audience enjoyment but also poor panning in sound effects. This could also have a huge effect on the viewers experience because this can resort in the atmosphere being less dramatic and effective due to the fact that the music isn’t surrounding the listener. Furthermore when you are watching a moving image production and thee panning sound effects are at a good quality standard it makes you as the viewer feel apart of what you are viewing but also makes it feel more realistic and makes the whole viewing experience real and enjoyable.

3D

The name of this programme is the BBC News at ten on channel BBC One. The programme was broadcasted on the 17th October 2013 at 10pm on a Thursday. I the duration of the programme is 30 minutes and the category that this programme is based on am news. The reason why I picked this particular television programme is due to the fact that it involves all the aspects that I will be looking at and analysing. So I thought that it would be useful and easier in these terms.

One of the aspects that I will be looking at is ‘Studio audio recording’. For this television programme this is programme the majority of the programme is film inside a studio. This aspect was used in this programme because it creates and portrays more of a professional and serious mood to the audience. This aspect was used to tell us as the audience that this programme will focus on some serious and possible political issues and that it won’t be focused on their environment but on more of what they will be talking about and discussing. By creating solemn and sensible aspects without any visual distractions. In addition to also make sure they get the best possible sound quality of recording in front of the audience.

Location audio recording: This programme uses also this aspect; this is used when one of the television presenters visits a place that has been affected by the housing rising issue. I think this method was used to show the audience how serious the issue is, but also to show the presenter more in touched with the issue. But also for the audience to see whom the issue is actually affecting.

Interviews: This is used on the programme when they are interviewing a person from the audience (Abu Suhel) who now lives in the Tower hamlets resident, he is interviewed about how he has been affected by the political issue of housing. He was a victim of this when him and his family was forced to move out by their landlord. This aspect was used to again create a serious mood to the audience. But also to show us the audience how these have had an affect on a person’s life and add meaning to this part of the programme for the audience. In addition this aspect is used to find out more information from the person.

Voiceover: this aspect is used to give the audience more information on the political issue that they are looking at. In the voiceover it discusses a close and mixed community that hade the highest ratio of public housing in the London however with the rent private sector raising, there has been a decline in affordable hosing for the public that it has hit a crisis. He also goes on to saying that the government fears that this issue could get worse for the future so are thinking about moving up to 500 houses out of London. I think that this method was used to give the audience more information but also to create a more personal mood. When I say this I mean in the terms to make what the voiceover is saying more directed at us and inform us that this could have a effect on us too.


The name of the programme that I will be looking at for this point is, Vampire Diaries. This was broadcasted on the CW channel. This programme was aired on September 10th 2009. I picked this television programme simply because it gives a good example of the point below.

A moving sound source: This point is used at the beginning of the clip, its used in this clip when recording the audio in the car with dialogue used between a couple. The reason why this could potentially be used is to create atmosphere and set the scene in the car. But also convey the meaning of the scene to the audience, for example to give them an understanding of the narrative.
