Titles are important for setting the tone and mood of a film. They typically include company logos and branding at the start. It is important for the titles to match the genre of the film through factors like font, color, size and placement of text, as well as any visuals used. For a thriller film specifically, the titles should provide subtle clues about the narrative through artistic, visual connections and fit with the thriller genre overall.

Assignment 14 representation
Sam Smith's music videos consistently portray a middle or upper class representation through his clothing, which usually includes suits, tuxedos, and expensive brands, and the exotic settings of the videos. Some people may find this portrayal offensive because it implies that one needs to be middle or high class to be a fan of Sam Smith. While pop artists don't always portray the same class in their music videos, Sam Smith consistently depicts an upscale lifestyle through his costumes and locations.
Assignment 14 representation
Sam Smith's music videos consistently portray a middle or upper class lifestyle through his clothing, settings, and body language. This is seen through his wearing of suits, expensive brands, and locations in exotic areas. While this high class representation could make some fans feel excluded or jealous if unable to afford similar attire, it is uncommon for pop artists to always depict wealth across multiple music videos as Sam Smith does.
Costumes and props report unit 17
This document discusses costume and prop choices for several characters in a film. Chris and James will wear expensive branded clothing to portray their competitive personalities and desire to be seen as the best. Ryan will wear basic, non-branded clothes reflecting his quiet nature. Ben, the antagonist, will wear all black clothing with negative connotations as he has recently left a psychiatric hospital. Props including iPhones, a knife, fake blood, a car, and camping equipment are discussed and will be provided by the document's author without additional budget costs.
Mise en scene the explanation
Mise-en-scene refers to everything that appears in front of the camera, including costumes, makeup, sets, props, and actors' positioning. It establishes important visual elements like time period, location, and tone. Setting is particularly important as it provides context for the audience and influences genre. Props are carefully chosen to advance the plot and avoid anachronisms. Costumes, hair, and makeup reveal characters' personalities, social statuses, and group affiliations. Facial expressions and body language convey emotions and how characters relate to one another. Positioning and use of space within the frame also communicate information to viewers.
Costume designs cloven
The document discusses initial costume designs for characters in the film trailer "Cloven". It describes designing gloomy, dull costumes to fit the horror genre. Marcus wears a t-shirt and shorts to represent his masculinity. Hayley's costume is brighter to contrast her outgoing personality with the shy Sam. Vinnie is dressed casually rather than for camping to show he is an outsider. Ben's outfit resembles Marcus' but with a coat to show he is sporty but sensible. The costumes aim to reflect each character's personality while mostly keeping to a camping theme with some casual elements to represent the characters as teenagers.

Key items are drawn attention to hint at their significance to the plot. Overall the analysis discusses how the film employs common thriller techniques to build suspense and engage the audience.
Which Record Label?
The author would choose a major record label, specifically Warner Music Group, over an independent label. Warner Music Group has considerable financial advantages over independents and extensive experience promoting new artists. Warner Music Group also owns sub-labels that specialize in targeting specific music genres, an advantage typically associated with independent labels.

In 1992, he published the book "Dancing in the Distraction Factory" which analyzed music videos and their characteristics. Some of the key codes and conventions he identified include the use of genre-based characteristics in videos, the relationship between lyrics and visuals, and the relationship between the music and visuals in a video.
Shot list
The document describes 20 shots from a film, listing the shot type, camera movement, location, and equipment for each one. Shots include close-ups, mid shots, tracking shots, and shots within various rooms of a house. Camera movements include static shots, tracking, zooming, and subtle zooming.

They tell stories, either related to or suggested by song lyrics, or develop symbolic or thematic concepts. Many include some combination of the artist performing, a narrative storyline, and visual elements to represent the song's meaning. The goal is to entertain audiences while advertising the artist's music and setting the tone for how the song should be interpreted.

Media A2 Music Video Analysis
This document provides an analysis of the 1986 music video for "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel. It summarizes key details about the song and video. The analysis finds that while the stop-motion animation style is unconventional, themes of sexuality and a strong synchronization of audio and visuals link it to typical pop music videos. Most shots focus on Gabriel's face, reinforcing his image while possibly relating to notions of the male gaze. Overall the video can be considered compatible with conventions of pop music videos outlined in Goodwin's principles.

This document summarizes a research article that examines the relationship between social media, traditional media, and music sales. The study uses data on blog buzz (as a measure of social media activity), radio play (as a measure of traditional media), and music album and song sales. It finds that radio play is consistently positively related to future sales at both the song and album level. However, blog buzz is either not related or negatively related to sales, suggesting that free online sampling enabled by social media may displace potential sales. The negative relationship between buzz and sales is stronger for niche music and less popular songs.

These elements were consistently featured across the three products to reinforce the film's identity and appeal to the target audience.
Film opening conventions
Studio logos and titles are usually one of the first things shown in films. Larger studios like Warner Bros. have consistent logos while smaller studios may just use titles. The logo or style it is presented in can suggest the genre, like a dark Warner Bros. logo hinting at a thriller. Films then establish the genre through titles, actors, shots, editing and other elements to set the tone and mood for viewers. Main characters are often introduced in the first few minutes through mid and close shots to portray their role and fit with the implied genre. Sound is also key to conveying genre, like jazz music in Gran Torino signaling a somber film.

Institutional conventions between British independent and Hollywood blockbuster films are also discussed.
Movie Poster Codes & Conventions
The main actor (Leonardo DiCaprio) is shown prominently on the cover to highlight his involvement and attract fans, despite the genre. Through his expression and clothing, he appears cocky and stylish, suggesting his character. The flamboyant background of seemingly businessmen jumping around indicates the film is a comedy, mocking serious jobs humorously. Main names are at the top as high-profile actors draw audiences. Release timing or "Coming Soon" builds excitement while colors and designs appeal to comedy genres.
Teaser titles research
Film titles are used at the beginning of films and in trailers to establish themes and continuity. Different genres use different title styles to match the film's plot. Titles usually include the film name in a large font as well as details about directors, producers, and cast in similar fonts. Films may show titles over black screens, moving images, or shots from the opening sequence.
Features, codes and conventions of a film
The document discusses key features, codes, and conventions of film trailers. Film trailers are typically 2-3 minutes and aim to persuade audiences to watch the upcoming film.

This one-shot music video by Radiohead focuses closely on singer Thom Yorke's emotions and performance. The dark, close-up shot creates an uncomfortable mood as Yorke shows signs of distress.

The conceptual style conveys messages less directly through elements like darkness, the single take, and reflected light, requiring interpretation from the audience. The overall concept suggests that modern life can feel oppressive and even lead one to seek an escape from it, represented by the metaphor of drowning.

Ellie Lowes will serve as camera operator, sound design, continuity, lighting, and special effects. Becky Marsh will handle set design, props, costume design, title design, and make-up artist. Max Graham and Natasha Zawislak will act in the film.
Bastille - Good Grief
This document proposes a music video concept for the song "Good Grief" by Bastille. The concept would combine elements of a performance music video with conceptual elements to match the contrasting upbeat music and melancholy lyrics. Scenes of the band performing in black suits at a funeral would be intercut with flashbacks of a deceased woman dressed in white, representing innocence. Shots of fire and empty photo frames would reinforce lyrical themes. The video aims to challenge stereotypes by portraying the male singer as emotional rather than dominant.
Bastille good grief
This document proposes a music video concept for the song "Good Grief" by Bastille. The concept contrasts the upbeat music with dark themes in the lyrics like death and mourning. It will be both a performance video and concept video. Scenes of fire and smoke will represent themes in the lyrics, and the band will wear black suits to suggest they are at a funeral, matching the theme of death. Flashback scenes will show the deceased female character in white to represent her innocence. Camerawork will include shots of the band and high angle shots of the female character to convey her virtue and lack of dominance.
Warner Music Group
Warner Music Group is one of the major music labels known as the "BIG THREE". It was founded in 1958 and is based in New York. Warner Music Group owns various popular artists and their music. The document discusses two of Warner Music Group's sub-labels - Full Frequency Range Recordings, a dance music label founded in 1986, and Atlantic Records, one of the most iconic labels in music history founded in 1947 known for artists like Ray Charles, Led Zeppelin, and Aretha Franklin.
List
The document provides a list of edits needed for a film project, including recording a new voiceover script to clarify a character, adding the studio logo, adjusting the soundtrack and music during a key scene, replacing and adding new shots including fire shots in a montage, and refilming some small sections.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Titles
- 1. Sam McNamara The Importance of Titles Considering why titles are used, and how to use them effectively. ! Titles are important in all movies and can be particularly effective for setting the tone or mood of the film. ! Films typically start with identifications and company logos. For example: Warner Bros, Columbia, Paramount etc. They also include the branding of co-production companies. For example, the film Saw is introduced with Lionsgate's branding as well as Twisted Pictures'. ! It is important to show an awareness of genre when producing a title sequence; the titles need to match the tone of the film. For example, the brand Warner Brother changes its introduction's style in order to match the tone of the film it is presenting. ! Typical opening titles include the following: • Main Character Actors - names displayed plainly. • Directors - Directed by... • Producers - Produced by... • Director of Photography... • Costume Designer... • Prop Designer... • Set Designer... ! The order of the titles should also be taken into consideration. For example, in a film where the director is particularly famous, and may be a selling point for the film, his/

When thinking about the appearance of titles, take into consideration: Font Colour Size Size Size Placement Placement Genre Genre Genre ! When title text links appropriately to the film in terms of tone, and genre, they can give the audience an idea about the type of film they are about to watch. In thriller films, artistic, visual connections with the narrative are often used in order to reveal, subtly to the audience, narrative information. ! For our thriller opening, we should come up with a brand and produce our own opening introduction video. We should also design our opening titles and make sure they fit in with the thriller genre.
