This document discusses the 1988 action film Die Hard and provides learning objectives and activities for students to analyze signs and meanings in a selected scene through a semiotic approach. The objectives are to understand the terms "signifier" and "signified" and how they are used, and to produce a semiotic analysis of a section of the film Die Hard. Students are given examples of signifiers and asked to identify what is signified by those objects and come up with their own examples to analyze.
The document provides results from a questionnaire given to 10 people ages 16-18 on topics related to music magazine preferences. Key results include:

- Most purchase magazines weekly or monthly.
- £1-2 was the most popular price range.

The document describes the development of a logo through two stages. In the first stage, the logo consists of a pink circle containing the capital letter "C" to represent the magazine initial. The circle shape and simple design aims to create a memorable and iconic logo. In the second stage, the text is refined by removing "The" from inside the circle to create a cleaner image. The goal is to develop a logo that people can easily associate with the magazine and represents it nationally or internationally like successful company logos.
This document summarizes the stages of creating the second page of a magazine spread.
It describes changing the main image to better complement the first page. Pull quotes were added to the image and within the text to emphasize important parts of an interview. The text uses different fonts to distinguish questions from answers.
While the page design achieves its goals, changes will be made to match alterations to the first page in the continuing design process. This draft represents the initial version.
The document contains the results of a questionnaire about preferences for music magazines. Most respondents paid the average price for magazines. The main selling point for music magazines are local shops and supermarkets, with 90% of participants choosing shops. The average customer prefers a new magazine issue monthly rather than weekly due to limited budgets as teenagers. Reviews of upcoming albums and information on new releases were popular sections. The cover star and celebrity names were primary influences for customers to purchase an issue over other factors like articles.
A survey asked questions about film genre preferences, viewing format preferences, age, gender, preferred opening scene colors, and preferred opening music.
This document provides an analysis of a low-level candidate's responses to two questions on a media studies exam.
For the first question, the candidate provided a basic descriptive response that lacked technical details and only minimally engaged with concepts like sound. For the second question, the candidate's choice of text did not fully address the question and made assumptive points without substantive examples. Overall, the analysis found the candidate's explanations, analysis, and arguments to be at a low level, with minimal use of examples and terminology from the media area studied.

The document outlines initial ideas for a soft rock/indie music video approximately 3 minutes in length. It discusses potential roles and responsibilities for the director, storyboard organizer, and camera operator. Possible filming locations in the Manchester area are listed. The proposed storyline involves a meteor strike transporting the protagonist to a parallel world where gender norms are reversed, with ideas to extend the concept further with reversed adult/child behaviors and unusual scenarios. Research of popular past and recent music videos is recommended to inform planning.
The document discusses selecting a cover model for an RNB/Indie magazine. Model 1 was rejected because she had innocent features rather than the desired attitude. Model 2 was passed over for having long blonde hair rather than short, stylish hair that fit the RNB style. Model 3 had the right look but was female, and the author preferred a male model with a more stylish haircut. Therefore, Model 4 with his styled short bleached hair was chosen as being the perfect male model to represent the RNB look for the magazine cover.
The document discusses various film distribution methods in the UK, including cinema, which allows small budget films to find large audiences, as well as distributors like Icon, Sony, Film 4, and Fox Searchlight.

The document provides guidance on analyzing representations in TV dramas by asking the reader to consider questions like who is represented and how, who is absent and why, and whether any characters are stereotypical. It then analyzes two TV show extracts, one from "Life on Mars" set in 1970s Manchester depicting the representation of Irish immigrants, and one from "Rome" showing a forbidden romance between characters of different social classes.
The document provides a summary of potential sets for a production, evaluating several options. It discusses the pros and cons of a home setting, classroom, and outdoor areas, ultimately choosing the homey and classroom sets due to ease of use, relatability, and availability while avoiding legal, permission, or safety issues with other options.

The document analyzes Blade Runner as a postmodern film. It discusses how the film has a postmodern aesthetic that mixes genres and styles. It examines how the film raises questions about humanity in an age where humans and machines are indistinguishable. It also explores how the futuristic city in the film reflects the postmodern condition and the virtual world's replacement of reality. The film undermines classic philosophical binaries like human/machine through its examination of what makes someone human.
The document outlines the assessment requirements for Section A of the G325 exam for Critical Perspectives in Media. It discusses two compulsory questions for this section that focus on evaluating candidates' skills development and production work. For question 1(a), candidates must describe and evaluate their skills progression from their foundation to advanced portfolios. For question 1(b), candidates must select one of their productions and evaluate it in relation to a provided media concept such as genre or narrative. Guidance is given on preparing for these questions by regularly auditing skills development and preparing evaluations of multiple productions that cover different concepts.
Media Representation Theory discusses how media constructs representations of reality through various processes. Some key aspects of representation theory are:
1) Representation involves the construction of people, places, events and identities in any medium like mass media.
2) Representations involve how identities are constructed in the text as well as in the processes of production and reception.
3) Representations aim to seem 'natural' by positioning subjects in particular ways that serve ideologies.
Analyzing representations involves considering whose realities are represented and whose are denied through semiotics and other formal analysis methods.
3 Music Video Analyses by Thomas Griffiths - 0601 FINALThomas Griffiths

The third video is a conceptual piece with no narrative; it features complex, precisely choreographed dancing by various groups to different elements of the song.

The author drafted their magazine cover multiple times, changing the title from "Showdown" to "Pulse" to better fit their R&B theme. They settled on a design with a red title and black outline over a gradient background. Headers and celebrity photos were added to make the cover look more professional while following the "rule of three" for visual balance. The contents page was simpler but the author is unsure if it looks as polished as the cover.
