The Project // Y Prosiect
| This is the ‘Prosiect Teliesyn’ website, that tells the story of the independent film and television company that produced hundreds of programmes for the BBC, S4C, Channel 4 and ITV between 1982 and 2002. The website will use Cottle’s notion of the ‘micro’, ‘meso’ and ‘macro’ levels of media production and organisation (2003: 20) to contextualise production documentation and the memories of ex-members and employees to tell the company’s history. | Dyma wefan ‘Prosiect Teliesyn’, sy’n adrodd hanes y cwmni annibynnol ffilm a theledu a gynhyrchodd cannoedd o rhaglenni i’r BBC, S4C, Channel a ITV rhwng 1982 a 2002. Mae’r wefan yn defnyddio model Cottle (2003: 20), o haenau ‘micro’, ‘meso’ a ‘macro’ o fewn rheoleiddra a cynhyrchu cyfryngau, i gydlynnu dogfennau cynhyrchu a atgofion cyn-aelodau a gweithwyr i adrodd stori y cwmni. | |
