Question 2
The document discusses how a film portrays mental health, youth, and gender. It represents mental health as something negative that makes the protagonist seem out of control through ghostly voices and similar appearances to another character. Youth are shown as demoralized by a man living in an abandoned building he broke into. The film goes against horror conventions by portraying the woman as dominant over the scared male character.
Pitch presentation 2
Millie Longford and others presented a pitch for a psychological thriller film about a man with absence seizures that cause him to develop split personalities, one of which commits murders. The man is unaware of his condition or crimes. The film will explore this concept similarly to Split but with the unique addition of absence seizures. Key promotional elements discussed included focusing on the multiple personalities aspect to generate mystery and intrigue around an otherwise normal-seeming man. Initial ideas were presented for the poster, trailer, and target audience based on research from the similar film Split.
Question 5
The document discusses portraying a typical teenager in a film scene. It describes a scene where the main character violently retaliates against neighborhood bullies with a baseball bat. This shows his impulsive and immature nature. Later interview scenes show the consequences of his actions as he is nervously questioned by an official investigator. Close-up shots of his fidgeting hands and inability to make eye contact convey that despite his actions, he remains an innocent minor who is scared and relatable to the target teenage audience.
Evaluation question 2
This document discusses how a media product represents various social groups through its characters. It analyzes the representation of social class, age, gender, and ethnicity in the opening of the media product. For social class, the characters both reinforce and challenge stereotypes of the upper and lower classes. For age, the younger character owning the mansion challenges stereotypes. For gender, only including male characters upholds stereotypes. For ethnicity, only including white characters reinforces stereotypes about white criminals being of higher status than non-white criminals. In conclusion, the representations both use and challenge stereotypes, but could improve representation of other groups going forward.
Evaluation Question 2
The document summarizes the representation of social groups in a student-produced horror film opening. It discusses the representation of gender, with the main character being female which goes against genre conventions. It also discusses the representation of age, with the main character being a young girl to make her more relatable to their target younger audience. Finally, it briefly discusses that the film did not explore representations of ethnicity, class, sexuality or disability since the character and setting did not call for those explorations and remained focused on the plot.
Task 9
The document provides an analysis of the representation of the main character Jennifer Lawrence in the film. It summarizes that she is portrayed as a strong, independent woman who challenges stereotypes. As the hero, she is determined to fight and sacrifice herself for others despite being put in dangerous situations for entertainment. The cinematography utilizes a mid-close up shot of her in the center to convey her confusion and fear as the focus while the background is blurred.
Question 2
The document discusses the representation of social groups in the film opening for "Heart of Innocence". It represents two female characters - a young girl of 5 portrayed in a sinister way to seem superior and manipulative, challenging stereotypes of young girls in horror films. The other is the mother of the girl, searching desperately for her missing child, shown as strong and maternal in her actions without caring about her appearance, challenging stereotypes of women as weak and vulnerable in horror. By not including male characters and portraying the females as capable, it aims to represent women in a more positive light compared to other horror films.
Leonie wise 10 things i hate about you
This document analyzes and summarizes several shots from the film "10 Things I Hate About You". The opening shot uses a tracking shot to establish the setting and location with bright colors conveying a teen film. A mid shot scene in cars establishes two opposing character types - popular girls in a nice car versus a solitary girl in an old car. An establishing shot of a school building provides more details of the setting. A close up of the main character gives an innocent, natural look with little makeup and a cold facial expression.

Representation
The document discusses the inspiration and development of an idea for a short film about domestic violence. It was inspired by the short film "Bitter Silence" which portrayed child abuse. The main character Mr. Wicks, a teacher, was based on a character from that film who abused alcohol and his family. Films like "Precious" informed the portrayal of the vulnerable female protagonist Lucy, showing the inferiority and lack of power of women.

SAAEA 2016_Secure Personalisation Solution_S&O_V2
This document discusses the problem of fake and fraudulent certificates and degrees, and recommends a solution to help educational institutions address this issue. It proposes using a secure online portal called Ecertsecure to personalize certificates with security features like watermarks, microtext, and encrypted barcodes during the certificate issuance process. This would make certificates harder to forge while also streamlining printing and distribution. The recommendation is for educational organizations to use this system to focus on education rather than spending resources on insecure certificate production.

Our target audience for the film "Badlands" was older teenagers and young adults with a passion for film. We chose to make a psychological thriller genre film because it allows for an original narrative compared to typical student films. Some conventions we included were crime, ambiguous climaxes, and bleak settings. The characters were designed to fit these conventions - the protagonist is unnamed and wears casual clothes while the antagonist wears a mask and suits. Audience feedback praised the film's pacing, editing, and performances but suggested shortening some shots and making the opening less ambiguous.

The document provides an analysis of how the media product represents various social groups through its two main characters. It represents both genders through a loving female character and protective male character. It intentionally represents people of color, with both characters being black, to subvert the dominance of white main characters and negative stereotypes in this genre. While the characters conform somewhat to racial and gender stereotypes, they also challenge them through their sensitive portrayals. The characters are meant to represent young adults in their early 20s, though the mature relationship may be unrealistic for their age.

Evaluation - Question 1
The document discusses how the media product adheres to conventions of real romance film trailers. It summarizes:
1) The text screens used simplistic fonts and neutral colors, as discovered from research on romance film trailers, sticking to conventions.
2) Gender roles were adhered to by having the male character make the first move and introduce himself, presenting him as more powerful by making him choose between the two females. However, this convention was also challenged by giving the fiancée a choice to end the relationship.
3) Costuming conventions were followed by dressing the female protagonist in "girly" dresses and floral tops to depict her stereotypical character, as seen in research

Q1
- 2. The characters we decided to feature in our piece were conventional of protagonists and antagonists in horror films in terms of personality since the protagonist was considered quite weak compared to the antagonist who seemed dominant and in control. Because of this the protagonist was also very wary of his environment since he didn’t know where the antagonist was, however the story plans out to show they are both the same character which I will mention about in the following slide. The characters are not conventional in the fact that in terms of gender the roles are reversed since the male is conventionally the antagonist and in a dominant position; we thought this would be a ideal change to usual horror conventions since we discovered in research that people found younger girls to be more scary in horror films.
- 3. • We wanted to attempt to use our props to try to convey the idea that the two characters were the same person we decided to do this by having the characters both wearing white and using eyeline match shots showing the two having similar eyes due to the blue contacts Sophie was wearing
- 4. We decided to cast both younger actors since we wanted the boy the male to look like a Run away and needed the woman to be around the same age in order to try to portray the characters as one
- 5. • We took inspiration for the storyline from fightclub (Fincher, 1999) since the main character has schizophrenia but embraces it rather than in our film where he is continuously scared of his surroundings due to it. • We also took inspiration from the writing scene in SE7EN as well as the idea of pictures being crossed out
- 6. • Our set was conventional of a horror film since it looked to be abandoned and therefore we should candles in several shots to show that the protagonist had invaded an area and had been set up in this area for a while by showing books and papers on the table and pictures on the wall this made it look like the was set up in the area and also like he was planning something as well as giving the impression he is educated. We wanted the area to seem abandoned an therefor stuck to very dim lighting which is also conventional to the genre
- 7. • Our soundtrack did not turn out fully as we envisioned due to the lack of sound in the quite room making it seem too calm however in postproduction we decided to enhance certain sounds and add sounds from the protagonists subconscious to create a ghostly feel. We did this by using a different voice actress due to the main actress not being available we were then able to layer them and distort them in order to create a more eerie feel. We also made the sound louder at certain points to try and create jumps such as when the pen is dropped and the title is revealed
