1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

• For my 30 hours I plan to watch a variety of TV shows and analyze the different ways that they (production team) try to create emotion. I will also be documenting all of my information on a Google docs so that I am able to look back upon it and see how different genres of shows created emotion.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

• I will show evidence of my work by documenting it on a Google docs as well as taking pictures of what I am doing, in this case watching a variety of TV shows.

APPLIED

• How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  

• This component helped me better understand my topic by introducing me to different things. One of the things that I was introduced to was scheduling which there is an example of above. With this I was able to understand how they where able to run all the shows and have everything go up on time. Apart from scheduling you actually had to put the shows on a program which is called fork and that program allows you to view the shows on TV. Another thing I learned that helped me better understand my topic was pre editing. This is when you rough edit a show in order for it to fit into the time slots on the TV show schedule. When doing this you primary leave in just the main content and you take out what is not necessary. This component helped me better understand my topic in the sense that there is so much that goes on within TV production and that it is not just the filming.
