This document discusses how a media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real soap operas. It analyzes the conventions of soap operas, such as continuous storylines, working class characters, and short scenes. It then explains how the media product uses conventions like close-ups to convey emotion, but also develops conventions by having younger villains. However, it concludes that the product mostly uses conventions rather than developing or challenging them, such as with similar shot types and common storylines.
The document summarizes Health Canada's implementation of Workplace 2.0 at their new Kanata Centre of Innovation. It describes the drivers for the project including the need to upgrade facilities and reduce costs. A collaborative project management approach was used involving Health Canada, Public Works and the landlord. This allowed timely completion and issue resolution. A communications plan helped employees adapt to significant changes like moving locations and new collaborative workspaces. The new centre exemplifies a modern Workplace of Choice with efficient use of space, significant cost savings, and green features like reduced paper usage. Lessons learned emphasized the importance of communications and the steering committee for a successful project.
This document discusses linguistic discrimination in Spain against speakers of regional or minority languages like Catalan, Galician, and Basque. It provides examples of discrimination cases in Spain and argues that language discrimination is a form of racism and hate crime. However, the European Union currently does not include discrimination on the grounds of language as racism. The document calls on the EU to take action to protect regional or minority languages and their speakers from discrimination.
The combination of the main product (trailer) and ancillary texts (magazine cover and poster) are generally effective.
The trailer and magazine cover both represent the main murder character in a sinister way. The poster features the three main characters in a way that hints at their roles and genres explored in the show like crime, cheating and teenage pregnancy.
The characters are portrayed consistently across the products, showing Sambuca as glamorous but spiteful, Archie as a cheater, and Bella as more introverted.
The E4 branding and color scheme are included in the main products and poster to clearly associate them with the network. Overall, the products work well together aside from possibly the magazine
Erie, Pennsylvania is a small city that provides wonderful experiences for kids to grow up with. The top three attractions are the Erie Zoo, Waldameer Park and Water World, and the ExpERIEnce Children's Museum. The Erie Zoo has nearly 400 animals across 11 gardens and offers educational classes. Waldameer has over 75 rides and attractions, including a water park. The Children's Museum has many interactive exhibits and learning programs, and was a popular spot for birthday parties. These locations create lasting memories and show why locals love Erie.
The document discusses photography and costume design ideas for a poster promoting a short film about a love triangle storyline. It describes posing the three main characters - Archie, Bella, and Sambuca - against a green screen and choosing costumes to represent their distinct personalities to viewers. Bella is posed slightly turned towards Archie looking sad in plain, natural clothing to appear innocent. Sambuca is turned slightly away wearing dark makeup and a red top to seem unnatural and pose a danger. Archie stands in the center with the girls on either side to look dominant over them both.
The short story "Stop Frame 1" by Joe Garnett is about a man who finds a strange device that allows him to stop time. He uses the device to secretly observe people and take money, but he soon realizes that stopping time has unintended consequences. His actions disrupt the normal flow of time and he must find a way to fix what he has done before it is too late.
The document summarizes a stop frame animation project created by the author and their friend Alex Gibbon. They decided to have Optimus Prime chase King Kong as the main characters. They used action figures of Optimus Prime and King Kong, as well as toy props, to film their stop motion animation in the author's backyard using a digital camera. Parts of the narrative were original ideas while other parts drew from the film King Kong.
The document discusses the various media technologies used by the student at different stages of their project. A digital camera was used to record footage for a soap opera trailer. iMovie was used to edit the footage and add effects like slow motion. Keynote was used to create title cards. Social media platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Blogger were utilized for communication, sharing work, and research. PowerPoint was used to create an evaluation presentation, which was then uploaded to Slideshare to integrate into a blog.
Search engine optimization (SEO) involves optimizing websites and webpages to appear higher in search engine results. As search engines developed more complex ranking algorithms considering additional on-page and off-page factors, SEO techniques evolved from early keyword stuffing to a more holistic approach. Social media optimization (SMO) aims to drive traffic to websites through social media engagement and sharing on platforms like blogs, social networks, and video/photo sites. Both SEO and SMO techniques continue adapting to changes in search engine algorithms and social media behaviors.

This document discusses the principles of intervention on physical and mental health through physical activity, exercise, and sport. It addresses how physical activity impacts mental health and explores the main hypothesis that physical exercise can have reinforcing effects. Regular physical activity is distinguished from physical exercise and sport. The effects of acute and chronic exercise on mood, anxiety, and depression are also summarized. One of the main hypotheses discussed is that physical exercise may reduce anxiety and have antidepressant effects through impacts on the serotonin system in the brain. Animal experiments showing prevention of stress-induced depression with physical exercise are also highlighted.
