Eli Roth is an American film director, producer, writer and actor best known for directing horror films such as Cabin Fever, Hostel, and The Last Exorcism. He graduated from New York University and got his start making short films. His 2002 film Cabin Fever and 2005 film Hostel were both commercial successes. Hostel in particular had the highest box office opening of any of Roth's films. Roth's directorial style focuses on realistic and psychological horror rather than graphic violence, though his films often contain graphic gore. He prefers a classical filmmaking style without fast editing.
The summary focuses on visual elements in a scene from a film: A speeding car passes a poster of a circled butterfly, implying danger, as red cars speeding by are common in action films. The unusual sight of New York city covered in plants adds an unfamiliar, thriller element to the narrative.
The document lists props and costumes needed for a production, including where they can be acquired and their intended usage. It notes that many of the props and costumes were things already owned rather than purchased. For example, a syringe was borrowed from a vet to portray a medical syringe in a scene, and black clothing was chosen for the antagonist to convey a sense of evil. Care was taken to select items that fit the narrative and portray the intended images for each character.

It analyzes symbols in two screenshots, including a semi-shadowed face representing a character's good and dark sides, with darkness overpowering light as they perform a sinister act. A heavy breathing and screeching laugh portray an excited and corrupted state. The screenshots aim to show how even doctors have become corrupt in a fictional world dominated by money and underground industries.
In his final piece, Thomas Griffiths used cuts to show continuity and overlay fades to show changes in time. For his preliminary task, he followed the 180 degree rule and centered his protagonist in shots. Through both pieces, he learned how to frame shots, edit to briefs and emotions, integrate effects, critique and improve his work, and use camera angles to convey feelings.

It examines the front and back covers of a digipak album release, noting how elements like font, lighting, and imagery create feelings of magic and relate to the target audience.

The document analyzes visual techniques used in an action film, including fast shot transitions depicting fire and uneasiness, an orange hue suggesting hatred, and a grubby set giving the film a darker feel. Slow motion is used to emphasize the protagonist who has a "cool" but ambiguous half-lit look. Stereotypical action shots of stunts are taken using a wide frame to highlight the protagonist dressed in black, breaking the stereotype of a wholly benevolent hero.
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 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.
The document discusses an evaluation of a media product, which is a music magazine.

The intended audience enjoys R&B artists like Jay-Z and Rihanna. Technologies learned include Photoshop, Microsoft Office, and scanning.

The photographer arranged a photo shoot with a cover model wearing smart clothes outdoors. They then used photo editing software to improve the lighting and other areas of the pictures to make them more professional for a magazine cover. The photos were also edited to black and white to capture the target audience's attention. Additional photos were taken but not included in the magazine as they did not fit with the style or layout of the other images.

The magazine uses red, white, and black colors on the cover with Madonna's face taking up much of the space to draw readers' attention. Pricing and identification information is printed in small type at the top left while the masthead stands out in a large red box at the top right. Headers throughout advertise the magazine's content.
