Construction of reality - By editing and gatekeeping, the group will construct an artificial picture of reality using unscripted opinions to fit their point of view and focus on relevant information.

    MEDIA THEORIES

    Lauren Stocks

    Gatekeeping
    Definition the selection and rejection of information for
    inclusion of the text
    We will be using the gatekeeping method when creating our documentary
    so that we, as a group, are able to edit the information/ video
    recordings to produce the best documentary we can. We will make sure
    to obtain our objective and try not to influence our target audience so
    that we dont become biased. This is also because we decided to use
    Levi-Strauss's theory where we present both sides of opinion. We will
    edit scenes because when we record, there will be parts that need to be
    cut out and edited because there may be irrelevant information. By
    choosing the specific people we use and the location of filming, the
    information we gain from our research will be implemented throughout
    the documentary so that we can create a certain type of representation
    for the documentary to be successful. By choosing specific locations,
    information, pictures and individuals to participate in our documentary,
    this will help us to use the parts that are best suited to our objective
    which will also be shown throughout our coursework.

    Construction of reality
    Definition - by editing & gatekeeping, media
    producers construct an artificial picture of reality.
    By editing and gatekeeping our documentary we will be able to
    produce an artificial picture because the videos will be
    natural and not staged so the participants will be giving their
    own opinion and not something previously practiced/
    scripted. We will need to construct it to our point of view, so
    to do this we will edit and control parts of the filming that we
    think will best suit the final outcome. This is so that our
    documentary gets straight to the point and doesnt jabber
    about irrelevant information or information that isnt as
    important as others. Also as we are teenagers ourselves itll
    mean that we will know more in terms of our generation as
    we all use phones and know the impacts and biased opinions
    people can have.

    Mediation
    Definition changing something before it gets to the audience
    Mediation will be used in our documentary so that it will be created to
    a high standard by checking sound levels, editing skills and so on.
    Mediation will be our final step before we show it to our targeted
    audience to make sure that we have all the information in the
    documentary that we wanted. This is a vital step because this will
    enable us to all see whether our documentary creation is
    appropriate and targets our audience in the way that we want it
    too. It also means that we need to be critical of our documentary
    and edit anything we think isnt right or could change so it has
    improved.
