Citing and Referencing
There are many different ways to use a quote and how to lay it out.
Example Citing: First Book (Internet)
It has been considered by (Johnson-Cartee & Copeland, 1991) As late 20th-century observers of the American political scene, we sometimes forget that political parties and newspapers, as we know them today, did not exist in the United States.

“Negative political advertising is not a new political phenomenon” (Johnson-Cartee & Copeland, 1991, p.8)
Example Citing: Second Book (Library)
Noted about a lot by (Adam Swift, 2001) The Idea of distributive justice has been around for a very long time - he Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) wrote about it.

Sample Script (Beginning Of Film)
EXT. BUS STOP. NIGHT
Man walking along to the right, looking down at phone, accidentally bumps into a person.
Dean
"Oh, Sorry"
Dean continues to walk, he then stops to give some money to a homeless person but his wallet is gone, He looks back at the man he accidentally bumped into, the man is running away looking back at Dean and dodging people as he runs through a crowed. Dean assumes that the man he bumped into might have taken it or it might have fallen out after hitting him. Dean looks around but can't find it, he assumes the man took it, so Dean heads to the political debate to tell them what has happened, also e is running late and doesn't have time to look for it, also the man has run far away.
He's very worried about losing his wallet, it has a lot of information about him in.
INT. School Hall. Night
Dean comes inside the hall and walks up to his opponent and a young man called Henry who is a assistant to the camera crew filming the debate.
Henry
"Ah, Mr Jombs, you’ve finally arrived, I’ sure you already know Adam, I hope you two are going to be ok this time, I don’t want a repetition of what happened seven months ago, You both lost a lot of voters that year, so be nice"
Henry walks off.
Dean
"Hello again Adam, how are you"
Adam
"I’m fine, I’ll feel amazing after I kick your ass in this debate, just like I did seven months ago"
Dean
"First things first, you didn't kill my ass seven months ago, I kicked yours"

2 Location Recce
After travelling to these two locations in my free time, I have come up with a plan:

BCA School: I will need to rent out a school hall to use their stage or we could use the stage at the College, it would probably be easier to film at BCA school cause I can rent the hall out for free because I am a past student, also my mother works there and we will get a discount for renting and using stuff. On fridays are free so we will aim to film on a Friday in January at the school, we will be in the hall and outside near the road, filming between 15:00pm till 19:30pm. I will need Graham, Sam, Ben, Brandon & Myself.
Avon Street Car Park: I have plans to film on the top floor of the car park in one of the corners where there is very few cars, we won’t know what corner to film in until on the day and we see which corner is best. Filming in the morning. I will need Graham, Sam & Ben.

Podcast
For college we were asked to do a podcast about a scene in a movie or tv show that we liked and explained why we liked it and what made the scene memorable, I chose the opening of Sucker Punch cause we recently saw it together in class and we had already done a lot of textual analysis on it so if need be i could turn to that for help.

Free Audio Websites
List of a few audio websites which might be helpful for videos.
For College we needed to find web sites which would let you download free audio to use in videos for YouTube and other sites. These websites let you use audio fairly without any copyright, and most of them will let you tweak the music, some you might have to ask in the comment section or direct message them.
http://www.freestockmusic.com
http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/video
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
These Three web sites allow you to use free music in videos and other content of your own. Youtube Audio Library allows you to put lots of free music in to videos you upload, Some of the web sites like for example Free Stock Music need you to sign up, Free Stock Music says you can sign up for free meaning there are no hidden charges, you don't need to pay or anything, but other web sites might make you, YouTube and Free Music Archive also asks you to sign in.
Copyright
On these three web sites these use music that is free but could still be copyright, they might be selling music without permission from the creator of the music.
Fair Use
The music used on the web sites is fair and allowed to be used, like before there might not be permission from the creator, but if the music used does have permission then it should be fine.
Creative Commons
There aren't any rules about changing/tweaking the music but if you are worried about changing music, its probably best to ask the creator first, messaging people on youtube or leaving comments can help, and a lot of the time they do reply.

These are a few graphs of the research we got from students around the college, the first pie chart is the number of people who do vote yellow being no, 8 said yes. The second pie chart is the gender, 23 male, 26 female, 4 didn't answer. The first bar chart is the age of everyone, the second bar chart is how well you know politics on a scale from 1-5

Adding Audio
College Work
Adding Audio To Video
A video my college made a year ago, we were asked to make and add audio to this piece and decide what type of audio would suit it.

I choose these instruments because they sounded dark and made the mood scary. Seeing what just happened in the film. The scene was very quite and dull. Not much happening. But it felt dark seeing what just happened
