PRP - Agreement form second draft
I then changed my Topic form and handed it in the next day:
What is your PRP research question?
Has the attention span of the audience changed the more recent delivery methods and techniques of audiovisual work?
What is your PRP research topic?
I plan to research the history of people’s habits in a sense of a film. I then shall look at whether more recent delivery methods and techniques of audiovisual work have changed from the decrease in the viewer’s attention span. With the supposed decrease of viewer’s attention spans seen at: http://www.eastgate.com/HypertextNow/archives/Attention.html there must be some effect on the more recent delivery methods and techniques of audiovisual work. To find out whether this is true I shall look at different techniques used by modern day practitions and compare them to older practitioners, for example Lev Kuleshov’s theory of “relationship” editing and see how the old theory has been adapted and used in more modern practitioners work such as Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” and “2001: A Space Odyssey” in the computer HAL and how the different techniques have changed the perception of the viewer. I shall also look for papers that are linked with this problem like Carol A. Bodensteiner’s paper on “Predicting Public and Media Attention Span for Social Issues” found at: http://www.carolbodensteiner.com/Carol_Bodensteiner/Writing%20_files/PRQ-Predicting%20Attention%20Span-1996.pdf.
There are so many different ways of delivering multimedia work now, from DVDs and CDs to the Internet which has probably impacted the delivery methods the most. The increase in the use of the internet and high speed internet connections in households has meant a huge increase of audiovisual work being uploaded onto the internet. From the internet there are then a variety of ways to deliver the work such as downloading films or music videos on to your computer or mobile or from streaming audiovisual work through sites such as YouTube. I shall look at a variety of contexts and different styles of audiences and see how the delivery methods have changed the viewers perception. These will range from work on internet sites where anyone can upload their videos on to, such as YouTube to film festivals and audiovisual exhibitions where the work will be from practitioners. I will find how these different styles of delivery will impact the audience’s perception. I think they will alter as people viewing mainstream based programming such as at film festivals, are more likely to have a greater knowledge in the subject, and understand what a film maker is trying to say when using different techniques. This is compared to someone using social based programming such as watching a video on YouTube who may have not much or no interest in film. To try and find out if the delivery methods have changed the viewers perception I shall collect my own data by carrying out tests on people from the younger “MTV generation” and people from the older generations by showing them very short video clips and show them larger video clips and seeing how their perceptions on the film change, and research more into the subject by reading books and searching for papers on related topics and see if there is a change in attention span.

PRP - Agreement form Feedback
I sent a copy of my Agreement form to Debs who replied with some suggestions for changes to it which were:
What is your PRP research question?
What is your PRP research question?
- Perhaps- Has the viewers perception/audiovisual grammar changed or developed over time.? What are the effects of current edit production techniques and programming upon the viewer in terms of the audiovisual communication?
What is your PRP research topic?
- If you are looking at how it has changed where is the information about comparing the two coming from? Are you testing this on young and older people? I suggest that the attention span of youth is shortening and this could be a contributing factor to the development and style of editing. There may be others but here you compare. I think that you could carry out some of your own data gathering methods here.
You should be more precise about where you are getting your info for research. Perhaps you look at mainstream and social based programming. It may also include more than the edit and look at issues such as frame size, fidelity, resolution and colour.
i.e.have current delivery methods and techniques changed the perception of the viewer. This wider subject may give you more to discuss than merely the edit only.
Kuleshov was such a long time ago has there been any advancement since he introduced “relationship” editing as you describe.

PRP - Agreement form
PRP Topic Submission Form
Complete this form through consultation with your project supervisor. Use it as a tool for further elaborating your research direction. Fill it out electronically then print it off and get it signed by your supervisor before handing it in to the Multimedia Programme administration office in Week 14 (27/10/2009 Wav128).
What is your PRP research question?
Have current delivery methods and techniques have changed the perception of the viewer?
What is your PRP research topic?
I plan to research whether current delivery methods and techniques have changed the perception of the viewer. The film industry is growing and different software is being developed allowing the film makers to use more advanced special effects and have the ability to create more surreal plots. Thus the viewers are more accepting to different scenarios. There has also been an increase in popularity of three styles of audiovisual which are sitcoms, music videos, and sound bites. The rise of these styles has resulted in a lot of critics saying that these styles are “debased by their brevity” and has decreased viewer’s attention spans. The supposed decrease of viewer’s attention spans could be affecting the development and style of editing for current work being produced. The increase in internet and high speed internet connections in households has changed the delivery methods of media drastically, with a huge increase of audiovisual work being uploaded onto the internet. I shall look at different multimedia contexts and a variety of different styles of audiences. These will range from work on internet sites where anyone can upload their videos on to, such as YouTube to film festivals and audiovisual exhibitions where the works will be from practitioners. I will find how these different styles of delivery will impact the audience’s perception.

I will also look different older techniques and theories and compare them to the more modern ones, for example Lev Kuleshov’s theory of “relationship” editing and see how the old theory has been adapted and used in more modern practitioners work such as Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” and “2001: A Space Odyssey” in the computer HAL and how the different techniques have changed the perception of the viewer.
NOTE: The description must be approximately 300 words (minimum). It should aim to describe your research topic in a concise and precise way. You should complete the document through consultation with you project supervisor – incorporating any further conceptualisation that they provide.
Try to use language that is clear and understandable for a general and non-expert audience.

Client Project - Health and Safety Forms
22.10.09
The Natural Ites were having another rehearsal tonight and so we went to it to get the health and safety forms signed and filled in. I then typed them up.
23.10.09
I took the form in to get Debs (tutor) to sign. She told me to make the following amendments:
