In the Week 6 Media 1 Lectorial, a guest speaker visited us to communicate ‘How to be a media operator’, we also did a run through of Project Brief 3 and then watched the BBC documentary ‘The cost of Free’.

How to be a media operator:

• You need to be a communicator (have a communication strategy)
• have signed Realeased Forms (participants and locations)
• Insurance and Legals administered
• When it comes to location shooting (arrive early, allocate a green room and set up the equipment efficiently)
• Always consider Safety
• There will be Nightmares (how badly things can go wrong)
• Serendipity (result of Nightmare possibly)

The Cost of Free:

– the virtual revoloution

– cookies (advertisements)

– Pizza Hut was the first company to produce online commerce (ordering pizza online) originally known as Pizza Net

– Web is the money making machine
