Ok, so don't forget your homework assignments:

- Print out the career links section from the companion website of Media Now.
- Look up the websites referenced on the syllabus and do a comparative analysis blog
- Logline
- Style/tone/type of project.
- Character descriptions (e.g. Mariah, an artistic, twenty-something instructor with an urban flare...)
- Hero's journey - brief and to the point. No play-by-plays allowed!

Have a great week!

Comparative Analysis
The comparison of these organizations in these web sites are somewhat similar with the involvement of film groups that help students and future film makers to understand the aspects and fundamentals of film making. They also compare in offering resources to individual people. For those who join an organization with a membership there are more open resources available. Although there is plenty of resources and information regarding film or film projects that are available for any person that is interested to research. They also offer forums and contacting information to people who work in the industry or organization. Giving out info on up coming events and invitations to meetings or conventions also compare in the organizations.
A few resources I looked into that would be interesting to check out were the events sections that the organizations are sponsoring or announcing for film students who want to meet with other film makers and or professionals already in the field. Many opportunities become available with these announcements that there’s no question whether you might be suitable for a position somewhere in the field of film making just from becoming part of an organization. Other helpful information that these organizations offer are studio times and date conferences, especially when you’re a student film maker, and are trying to get involved in any way possible for the experience of media or film.
What PBS offers is a chance to broadcast and produce your own access show. PBS has all kinds of ways to broadcast whether it be national television,podcast through your ipod and also on line at PBS.org. PBS does offer people to buy merchandise from different shows for instance health, Arts, History, shows that air. And they have a lot of programming for kids at an early age learning how to do the basics like english and Math.
As opposed to Film Independent who offers young perspective film makers a chance to make movies on a low budget.Awards are also with great concepts on certain films. As oppose to PBS that just has a format for local televsion. Anton Jennings September 10, 2008 Week 8
The only one thing that I can actually compare all the websites to each other was the fact that they all had something to offer independent filmmakers. Other than that each one had its own separate services to offer.
The only site that I actually didn’t see it asking for a membership or donations was itvs.org. The site gives a lot of good information for independent filmmakers wanting to get funding though. It never asks for membership but does give information for producers as well as give information for programs that they are currently showing. I give this site a fair/good rating.
For filmarts.org I give a very poor rating even though it links to sffs.org. The reason for the poor rating was because it gives almost no info for anything but does give many names, phone numbers, and websites. They are linked to sffs.org which a much better site and gives you a whole lot more information that you may be looking for. The site deals more with just independent filmmakers and looks to have members and no programming. Not only can you be a member but you can also donate to the site if you are inclined. Sffs.org also has a lot of good information for the 51st San Francisco film festival which happens in April of 2009.
Pbs.org is geared toward receiving donations and promoting quality television programming. The site also has a general fund for producers but they may only help with part and they seem to point you to other sites to get funding. It’s a good site but if you are a producer it’s not one of the better ones to go to.
Filmindependent.org is a good site and goes toward getting members and gives you the opportunity to have access to film equipment like HD cameras, 35mm digital adapter, sound equipment, light kits, and tripods. The site also accepts donations. As a member you also get access to screenings as well as film education which has a forum, classes and workshops, and film labs.
Ifp.org is also a good site to go to for independent filmmakers. The site deals with having a membership for independent filmmakers and has a great deal to offer such as job listings, classifieds, directories, events, and information on making your movie. The only problem with having a membership here is the fact you should be living in one of the areas of the five chapters which are only located in either Chicago, Minnesota, New York, Phoenix, or Seattle. I think that unless you live in one of those areas, you won’t get the benefit of having the membership. One bonus that you do get with being a member is the complimentary subscription to Filmmaker Magazine.
