Research

Research is used to obtain information for what you are doing a project or research page on.

Research can be obtained either personally which identifies as primary research, or finding or collecting published information which is called secondary information.

Primary research is when you personally collect information on whatever you are researching on, as well as to show as a form of evidence that this is the information that you yourself have collected.

Forms of primary research are: Original Interviews, Surveys, Questionnaires and focus groups.

Secondary research is when you collect information from an external source other than your own and has already been published.

Forms of Secondary research are: Data, Articles, Reviews and photo libraries.

Qualitative Research is a form of research that has lot of insight and detail, this form of information is done in a single individuals perspective of something rather than a mass of people.

Quantitive Research is information done in statistics and data taken from ratings, sales etc.

This form of information is done by statistically collecting from a mass of people rather than single individuals.

Above is the rotten tomatoes rating for the tomorrow war which is used as an example for quantitive research.

Research 2

There are various types of way to attain data and research, Examples are.

• Audience Research
• Market Research
• Production Research

Audience Research is used to see how audiences are engaging with the show or product, and to see if it is worth continuing the show or product. A company that uses audience research to collect viewing data in the UK is BARB (Broadcasters' Audience Research Board).

Market Research is used to look at the area/market where your product is going to sit in. Market research is very important as developers and other members of a company use this to look for improvements for their products.

Production Research...

Above is an example of Audience Research from BARB as they take data from thousands of uk houses and collects them to show what everyone is watching as well as their watch habits.

Research techniques

• Production values
• Sound/editing/Camera Work/Captions/Graphics
• Style of the presenter
• Is it fit for purpose? Do you learn anything about the video?

(Source 1) QuickTip: Setting up a Tripod by The Slanted Lens

This videos purpose is to show a step by step on how to setup a tripod for filming, the video starts off with an animated title and then starts the how to tutorial with a man holding a tripod in his hand and starts explaining the uses of the tripod. The video is shot mostly within a wide shot with a few close ups of the tripod as he explains the tripods features. 

Out of the three of the videos I have seen to review, this one is the second best one I had seen from this selection.

(Source 2) How to set up a tripod by Eddie

The purpose of this video created by Eddie is to show the viewer how to setup a tripod while showing some dos and don'ts in a formal and professional manner, The video begins with an animated graphic and it also ends with one as well, There are some other editing techniques in this video that range from green screen effects and basic video and audio editing. This video is done in various camera angle shots ranging from medium, close up and wide shot.

Compared to the other two, I would rate it as the best out of the three as it is straight to the point and doesn't overstay it's welcome whilst being very straight forward and informative.

(Source 3) How To Setup A Tripod by Adria Richards

The purpose of the third sources video is how to setup a tripod just like the two previous sources in the research page, however this video is done with a single camera throughout the video rather than multiple camera angles like the previous two. unlike sources one and two this one does not have an animated graphic being used as an intro and outro and doesn't use any form of standard video or audio editing, for the camera shot used, this video is shot in a continuous medium shot throughout it's entirety without any cuts.

Comparing to the others this the least favourite out of the three, it doesn't go on for too long but the lack of any audio or video editing can make it a bit dull after a few minutes.

Production Research

This form of research is to see and ensure that you have what you need to do your desired project.

This can be for many things that are part of the production of your project like the possible financial cost of the project, as well as what facilities are needed and the location of where it is taking place, and finally how many people you have in your crew to see if this project is viable for production.

Ethics

Ethics are a set of moral principles that are set to govern peoples behaviours or the conducting of an activity.

These set of ethics normally lead to a code of conduct which people would adhere / stick to.

Copyright

Copyright protects broadcast, television and film from illegal streaming and broadcasts, This keeps it protected for about 50-70 years from the date it was broadcasted.

If you use copyrighted material in your videos, film or broadcast, it is best to ask the original creator if you can have permission to use their material for a video or film. Alternatively there are a lot of royalty free material that you can use without the worry of copyright and you can freely use for commercial use.

There is also the law of fair usage where you can use footage without the permission to use said footage, as long as it is transformative and not just a re-upload of the same footage.
