Time and Technology

In our film we had to show aspects of time and technology. Here are the ways we used these techniques and hoe we could have used them.

Genre For Our Short Film

Here are the variety of genres we had to chose from for our short film and names we came up with to call our short film.

Narrative Structure and Narrative

This is the narrative to our short film, and the picture below represents the stages that it will flow in. As you read our narrative you can relate to the narrative structure and see where each stage fits into.

Chris Anderson Longtail Theory

"The theory of the Long Tail can be boiled down to this: Our culture and economy are increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of hits (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve, and moving toward a huge number of niches in the tail."

What drives this Long Tail and the niches that populate it? Anderson identifies three 'forces'.

1. More stuff is being produced. Technology and the internet make it cheaper and easier to record and distribute your own songs, publish your own writings and so on. This lengthens the tail.


2. There is better access to niches, again thanks to the reach and economies on the net. This fattens the tail.


3. Search and recommendations connect supply and demand. This drives business from hits to niches.
