Stuart Rush A2 Video Task 2010

Here is a documenatry produced by 'Current TV'. this documentary expores the trouble within Neo Nazis in Russia, on how that strong racial political views blind them selves form what is rightfully there's.
At the beginning there Small snippet behind the title of the program, with a soundtrack played over the top. Those 2 clips situated in that title defines the documentary genre immediately. (determination, masculinity and selectivity).
The first camera shot involves a man, Looks like a guy selected from the public to explain the situation, his voice continues over the following clips, they present the culture and society, (but you realise that this guy is a Russian rock composer).
The soundtracks through out are simply there to create atmosphere, to portray the emotion that the producer wants to direct across.
There is more than one voice over during, what I call the first section, this is showing multiple opinions on the subject, elaborating that is effecting allot of people.
They show clips of very violent scenes within the Neo Nazi culture,(there strong racial hate towards immigrants) those shots of the violence are filmed on hand held items.
There are several clips of the immigrants (the Neo's 'threats' to there economy)
All clips that involve interviews a direct mode of address, eye-line view and a medium/ close up head and shoulders shot.
The voice overs that discuss the issues with the immagrants during this episode is a male, well spoken, narrative toned voice.

Hypodermic Needle Theory
This is another theory that you can apply to the media and my production.
'The magic bullet' or know as the Hypodermic Needle theory is based on the human nature on how some of use consume the media passives. The "Magic Bullet" theory metaphorically speaking 'fires' from the media gun and travels into the viewer's head. The same idea with the Hypodermic Needle, it suggests that the media injects its messages into the passive audience. This passive audience is immediately affected by these messages. If its a product that you should by or if its something that you should do.The easiest was through advertising to 'inject' is to form some catchy slogan or some easily recognised theme tune.
Todrov theory
Tzvetan Todorov a Bulgarian structuralist,create this narrative theory in the 1960s.
he discussed how stories had very basic structures, it would begin with an equilibrium, then have a disruption, that is which is usually resolved within the end. Resorted back the 'normal' for the character
fiction.
Barthes
Barthes a French literary theorist created this theory of ‘The Photographic Message'. He simple discussed how a in the media how an image is represented and how the is can be interoperated, and what it actually co notates.
