Understanding the basic elements of communications for entertainment!

Down to the nitty-gritty!

Have you ever felt the trees outside? Well they are what makes your wooden home or what you write on. So what does that mean? Well to try to approach someone and sell them your film production/product you have to understand how it gets there…

The elements of communications!

The basic elements of communication start first off by involving a source in which has a message that needs to be initially processed and transmitted or distributed to another person or group without any initial knowledge of how the receipt is going to process the message. Second is the encoding of the message which is morphed or translated ideas from the source that travel to another person or entity and received and processed by one of the senses which usually are in a form of standard human communication such as words and pictures. Then the actual message or the body of the whole element of communication is encased as a product sent to the other entity in which it is either large or small, inexpensive to produce or can cost millions but the main point is that the intended communication is there and is traveling. When it reaches the destination it has already traveled through a means of a channel. A channel is somewhat like a tunnel in which the encoded messages travels by and at times depending on the intended message, it may use multiples of these channels. Once the message or messages have made it to this point the receiver needs a decoder to understand the encoded message and the process of decoding is just the opposite concept of encoding except that at times the message many need more than one process of decoding in order for playback to be understood by either machines or people.

The noise that can be caused…
Noise may be part of the factor that experienced within the communication. Noise is the interference or misinterpretations of the message to recipient. The first is semantic is just a communication that seems somewhat confusing which leads to different interpretations which could be a close variation of the initial subject or understanding of the message. If a group of people receive a message like this, one of the decoding processes would be to discuss what exactly was trying to be communicated. Other types of noises could be not normally have originated by the source and thus is called environmental noise captured during the transmission for the message. This noise is normally ignored by the receiver but does at times the source may include some kind of environmental noise such as a song to be received but more than one of the human senses to a complete understand of the message is communicated across the plain of encoded and decoded transmissions. The final concept of noise would be mechanical in which noise or more like disturbances are created due to the types of noises made by machines such a clicking of the film rolling inside the camcorder or the static of radio waves “snow” in a television set when switching between channels.

So now that you understand the basics go out and start encoding your message!
