BBC Structure

Separate operational areas manage the day to day working of the BBC. These include the Director-General's Office and Management Board, Radio, BBC North, Finance and Business, Future Media, News Group and Television.

The BBC also has three commercial subsidiaries, BBC Worldwide, BBC Studios and Post Production and BBC World News.

The four areas and a management board organisational chart below explain how the BBC is run. 

Changes to the BBC's senior team were announced on Thursday 14 February 2013. More information is available on the BBC Media Centre website.

BBC Management Board (April 2013)

Royal Charter

The BBC is established under a Royal Charter. The current Charter came into force in 2007 and runs until the end of 2016. It explicitly recognises the BBC's editorial independence and sets out its public purposes.

BBC Trust

Under the Charter, the BBC is governed by the BBC Trust, which sets the strategic direction of the BBC and has a clear duty to represent the interests of licence fee payers. The Trust sets purpose remits, issues service licences and holds the Executive Board to account for its performance in delivering BBC services.

The Trust works closely with national Audience Councils in order to understand the needs and concerns of audiences.

Executive Board

Operational responsibility rests with the Executive Board. It is responsible for delivering the BBC's services and running the organisation in accordance with the overall strategy set by the Trust.

For more details and an explanation of purpose remits and service licences, see the most recent Annual Report.

Media regulators

Government responsibility for broadcasting and creative industries in the UK lies with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

Ofcom is the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries, with responsibilities across television, radio, telecommunications and wireless communications services.

this is a spider diagram for our directors role that we did with lauren in our understanding of the creative media sector.

runners in film

runners in film.

most runners start off in the production office, the must prove them selfs to the production managers before they get promated and start going up the production chain. floor runner can open doors to a directing carrer route and establish connections to other departments.

starting off as a runner in smaller companies means theres fewer openings for runners as they are low budget productions, so with bigger companies theres more chance landing a place.

shorter productions means runners get a better oppertunity to work at every stage of production.

we had to do a job description of what we wanted to do in our pairs, me and matt both decided to choose director role, so we had to talk about key skills and other routes to becoming a director.

directing, - key skills

• decision making
• good communication skills 
• creative skills
• organisation skills 
• managment skills
• assistant directors, under the director
• planning skills 

confession editing review

we got put into distinctive groups were we had to collaborate in our three's to edit our confessions and make a final piece for the production which will be viewed in a confessional booth in the next week or so by others. our work was similar to Gillian wearings as we had used Gillian wearing for our research and watched her confession videos for example, Gillian Wearing has extracted terrible confessions and sexual secrets from her subjects. So why does the artist keep hiding behind masks, the reason of to why that is is because what they confessed was all lies thats why here video was called secret and lies, so people didn't no if they were telling the truth or not, that was the main reason behind the mask's. 















i personally thought it would be a good idea if we edit our videos to a high spec so you could not recognise who the people confession were as we never knew if they were being honest or lieing so we incorporated the work used by Gillian wearing into our production such as she gave the poeple who were doing the conffessions a mask we edited ours after and basically made them unidentifiable with the use of effect. 

i think i worked well and also collaborated with my group members and finished our edit to a high standard. i personally think that i could of done better and been more enthusiastic about my edit and made it better, but i also recognised what i did to a high standard and i will elaborate more on my work in the future. 

we made two edits but the first one was better so we just elaborated on that one, and made it o a higher standard before completion. 

confessional booth

friday 25th january 2013

personal confession,

in our class we split our selfs into 2 distinct groups, but we had to collaborate together as in one big group. our confessions had to be true. one group said there confessions whilst the other group filmed then we rotard around. my confession was real, "my confession is at school in an english lesson i made a paper ball and threw it at my english teacher, and he turned around at the guy next to me and went mad "i seen you danny i seen you with my own eyes" you cant of done i never even threw it. "danny i seen you get to the office" i was laughing my head off for about a week. my roles consisted of camera 3  were id had great experience previously as i had used camera 3 in band work. i also directed and vision mixed in a few of the confessions I'm a great team leader when i take charge and inform my group formally of what we have to achieve and complete and take the lead the work gets done. I've had great experience at directing and vision mixing previously with use on the bands and also own production that we had done in the studio similar to the confessional work.

next friday this work has to be edited and put into a video to be viewed in a gallery.
 for our editing we use adobe premier,

Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Creative Suite, a suite of graphic design, video editing and web development programs.Premiere Pro is used by broadcasters such as the BBC and The Tonight Show. It has been used in feature films, such as The Social Network, Captain Abu Raed, and Monsters, and other venues such as Madonna'sConfessions Tour. confessional booth
