Barb

In our lesson we have been looking and discussing about television channels and types of media. For homework we have to look at a website called Barb (Broadcasters Audience Research Board) and find out about it.

What is Barb:
Since 1981, we at the Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board (BARB) have been delivering the official viewing figures for UK television audiences. We commission research companies Ipsos MORI, Kantar Media and RSMB to collect data that represent the viewing behaviour of the UK’s 26 million TV households

Once I was on the website I came across a clip that explained what Barb do.


Viewing Data:

On the website I looked at weekly viewing for the 14-20 November 2016. These are just some of the top channels that people have be watching in November.

Location Planning

Before our filming day, Lauren and I made sure we went to the area we were filming to check it all our and to see if the area was suitable enough and to see where about we would be filming. This is good as it made us more prepared for our filming day. We were pleased as both locations were perfect for our filming, however, we had to take into consideration that the time we are filming the park scene is on a Saturday which means it will be busier. However, we will be getting to the park early so there will be less chance it being very busy.

9 Frame Analysis

Frame 1. This shows from the back of her, with her hand movement over her face showing that she is vulnerable and fragile. Also the background is full black and she is wearing pink that shows that she is weak and innocent. Additionally, she is walking into black to show that she is waking into the fear of the unknown.

Frame 2. Here she is in the for-ground looking into the dance studio. This implies that she is an outsider and isn't accepted by the other dancers. Also with her about to walk into the group of people shows that she is going to change to be like them, this is shown by the costume colours.

Frame 3. Here is a close-up of her face to show her emotions. Here she looks very concerned and unaware of her future in this dance studio. She is very natural looking, with little make-up, which symbolises her immaturity. Her hair is also very perfect, which reflects her character in the show- her being the black swan as she doesn't know how to be dark and sinister.

Frame 4. This frame represents the relationship that both characters have together. This is because the man is always looking over her and controlling her in her every move throughout the film. We can tell by the facial expressions how the characters feel about each other.

Frame 5. In this next frame, we can see her reaction when she sees her instructor, this shows that she is scared of him and he is always in her personal space.

Frame 6. This is the same as frame 5 in the way that he is always in her personal space. This could also represent their relationship as it looks like he is going to kiss her. From her facial expressions she looks embarrassed and doesn't want to face him.

Frame 7. Here her facial expressions have changes considerable as she looks panicked and the way that she looks over her shoulder shows she doesn't know what is behind her.

Frame 8. This is the dark character that is always a shadow which is represented by her outfit as it is dark. In the film we always see two of her from Nina's point of view this is shown by there being two of her in this frame.

Frame 9. This final frame reflects the swan queen and the black swan in the show. Nina being the perfect white swan with her pale skin and light clothing. Whereas Lily (on the right) is portraying the black swan with her black clothing, darker skin and swan like tattoo, implying the darker, evil swan.
