Mise en scene
The document describes the production design elements for the opening sequence of a film including the plot, process, lighting, props, costumes, makeup, and actors. The plot involves a girl in a village cursed by evil who opens a box unleashing terror. The opening sequence will show her lying in the woods and the box scene from a POV shot. Natural lighting and candles will be used to create an eerie atmosphere. Props include items related to sacrifice and evil. A white nightgown costume signifies old legends. Fake blood emphasizes the girl's pain and terror in saving the village. A pale actress with long dark hair is chosen to represent innocence without any dialogue.
Diaries of shooting
The document contains diary entries from a film shoot summarizing what was done each day, what went well, and what could have been improved. Over multiple days, the film crew shot scenes including makeup tests, lip syncing scenes, character introductions, a planned attack scene, establishing friendship scenes, missing person posters, and a character's decline. Lighting issues, location constraints, acting skills, disruptions, and member absences were noted as areas for potential improvement. Overall, the crew was well-organized and productive, getting needed footage and photos, though more focus and participation could have optimized some sessions.

Diary of filming
The diary summarizes three editing sessions for a student film project. In the first session, only three group members were present and they spent most of the time sorting through footage issues due to file conversion problems between Mac and PC. They made some cuts but didn't finish due to group conflicts. In the second session, all but one member attended and they narrowed down the definitive footage to create a rough cut, though glitches remained until rendering. They added some titles and planned for sound/effects in their limited remaining time.
Evaluation question 4
The document discusses various aspects of film production including what a production company does, tasks involved such as budgeting, scheduling, staff organization, marketing and distribution. It provides DreamWorks as an example of a production company. It also discusses finding an appropriate distributor, potential funding sources, and the typical hierarchy of opening credits. Finally, it suggests some similar films that involve themes of spiritual sacrifice, witchcraft, religious imagery and evil omens.
The woman in black!
The document discusses likes and preferences for various film techniques used in horror movies, including close-ups, props, establishing shots, typography, lighting, contrasting colors, and camera movements. Specific techniques highlighted are a close-up of a doll's face, using strange props like monkeys and clowns, an establishing shot showing an abandoned Victorian house, typography against a rainy window conveying darkness, accent lighting to draw attention to certain props, Daniel Radcliffe's dark suit contrasting with mist, and close-ups of extreme reactions to discovering a baby.
Q1
Our music video uses, develops, and challenges conventions of music videos for the pop/hip-hop genre in several ways. It develops conventions by using the rap portions of the song to tell the narrative rather than showing the rapper rapping. It also challenges conventions by portraying women in a vulnerable way rather than as objects. The video develops conventions through its focus on a single artist and through techniques like close-ups that build her iconography. Overall, the video both draws from and reworks typical music video conventions for its genre.
P.p question 4
New media technologies played an important role throughout the project. Final Cut Pro was used to edit captured videos and test different visual elements at various points in the song. A blog was used during the research stage to document progress and access information visually through images and sketches. YouTube provided sample music videos for inspiration and comparison. Google searched for artist information. Photoshop perfected text formatting. A camera, tripod, and green screen were used during filming to capture footage that could be edited and synced to the song on iMacs using Final Cut Pro.

Using social media and streaming platforms allows the song to reach a wide audience of teenagers experiencing heartbreak and growing up in difficult areas. The video portrays a girl facing abuse and drug problems to appeal to audiences who can relate to such struggles. Feedback on the video was positive about the shots, song choice, and intrigue, though some viewers initially found it confusing and had to watch twice to understand the storyline.
Question 2 continued
The poster chosen depicts the artist from the waist up in a confident pose to portray her as bright and happy. While in a different style than the front cover, it keeps her dignity and illustrates her feisty personality. The back cover uses a plain black background to make the orange/yellow font and song list stand out. Bold fonts symbolize the artist's intense music. Icons were included to remain attractive while lyrics inform fans. The introduction allows a deeper connection by sharing the artist's life story and message of encouragement in handwritten font. The branding focuses on her simple but nice music and unique style. The target audience is 16-25 year olds who are most in touch with current music trends and have free time and
Question 1 continued
Our music video uses conventions of real media to tell a narrative story. It focuses on a teenager growing up in Britain and facing challenges like poverty, drugs, and alcohol. This genre aims to involve the target teenage audience by depicting situations they can relate to. Locations, editing techniques, and visuals were chosen to reflect the song's slow, depressive style and enhance the meaning of the lyrics. The video directly connects the music and visuals to emphasize the song's message through scenes that act out what is described in the lyrics.
P.p question 1..
The document discusses evaluation questions about a music video by Andrew Goodwin. It summarizes that the music video tells the story expressed in the song through visuals that synchronize with the beats and scenes. Narrative and performance work together to keep the audience interested by not getting bored. The music video for the song depicts a girl's downward spiral through drug use and rape, with contrasts shown between the artists in the rapping and chorus sections. The "star image" of the choir girl who sings the chorus is meant to look plain and simple to focus on her facial expressions, as her sound is the main selling point. Technical aspects like natural lighting and color palette changes at certain points are used to symbolize the lyrics and represent the artist
Artist outfit choices
This document discusses outfit choices for different aspects of an artist's promotional materials. For an interview, a blazer with jeans was chosen to look casual but fitting. For a poster shoot showing only the top half, a top with spiked shoulders was selected to express fighting attitude. For an intro shoot where the artist discusses home life, a comfortable outfit was chosen. For the album cover shoot, a simple black and white outfit was used to highlight innocence and style as the artist breaks into the industry.
Recce and make up trials
The document discusses location scouting and makeup trials for a music video, including considering a kitchen, shower, and bedroom for scenes, as well as streets in Harrow; it describes drawing needle marks and making an actress look pale for a heroin addict role, and using natural makeup for another actress playing a guardian angel.
Fandom
Fandom refers to the intense emotional involvement and consumption of particular media texts and artists. There are varying levels of fandom, from casually following an artist online to making significant physical and emotional investments like getting tattoos or traveling to concerts. Fans help build an artist's reputation by defending them online, explaining their work to others, and spreading content through social media to recruit new fans. Extreme fandom demonstrates how media representations have become intertwined with viewers' senses of reality.
Diaries of construction
Saskia documented her work over several weeks constructing a music video by editing together footage in Final Cut Pro. She ordered clips on the timeline, synced them to the song by changing speeds, and added transitions like cross dissolves. Later sessions involved fine-tuning the syncing of lip movements, slowing parts down, and coloring flashbacks in black and white. The final sessions focused on reordering clips, adding text, and making final changes before completion.

Q2
This document discusses how the combination of an album cover, introduction page in the album booklet, and poster work together to effectively represent the artist and brand her image. Key points made include how the down-to-earth imagery and personal message in the introduction page help connect with fans on a personal level. The album cover and poster maintain consistency with the artist's font and focus on representing her voice rather than appearance. While the poster adds an edgier element, it does not contradict the humble image established elsewhere. Overall, the ancillary materials work cohesively to introduce the new artist and target their intended young audience.
Minutes of meetings
The document contains minutes from several meetings of a group working on a music video project. They discuss choosing a song, developing a narrative to follow the song's lyrics, assigning roles for characters, planning costumes and makeup, selecting filming locations, and scheduling shoot dates and times. Due to bad weather, they rescheduled some filming from one date to the next.
Early and final ideas
The document discusses two potential narrative ideas for music videos:
1) A girl who had made wrong relationship choices and pushed away the person who cared for her most, exploring themes of depression and despair.
2) Telling the stories of different people facing societal challenges like homosexuality through clips of iconic footage and showing how they overcome hardship.
It then provides details of the finalized idea - a narrative music video for the song "Astronaut" by Professor Green depicting a girl's downward spiral after being attacked and becoming addicted to heroin.
Who would be the audience for your media
The document describes the target audience for a media product. It introduces Ella-Jay Jackson, an 18-year-old girl from London. The media product was initially aimed at 15-year-olds but decided against this audience due to explicit scenes. Instead, the target audience is 18-year-olds and above to be more appropriate for viewers. It provides a link to view the film on YouTube.
How does your media product represent particular social
This document discusses how a media product represents social groups. It represents young females who have lost a child during pregnancy or birth. Specifically, it shows an African girl in a house with garden views in the background. While she has a different background than most social groups today, her appearance is not extreme and represents some current social groups.
Question 2
The expressions on the faces of Leila and Lilith are similar yet different, with Leila appearing fearful and Lilith appearing more in control. Both protagonists are laying down, processing an idea or event. Leila is covered in blood in white clothing outside, emphasizing her victim status, while Lilith is clean in white inside, suggesting she inflicts harm on others from a place of safety and control.
Question 2

Evaluation of thriller opening Q1
1) The document describes the title sequence and opening scenes of a student thriller film. Various frames are presented and analyzed to establish mood, introduce characters, set the location, and provide clues about the plot.
2) Frames show the film's title with a brown font on a black background, establishing a dark, sinister atmosphere. Additional frames depict a character discovering a dead body in the woods and close-ups of ritualistic props like a bloody knife.
3) Shots of the main character walking alone in the woods are used to introduce him and set up feelings of vulnerability and mystery surrounding the dead baby's discovery. Special effects like slow motion are employed to draw in the audience.
Question 3
Hammer Films would be the most appropriate distributor for the production company's supernatural thriller film. As a UK-based film distributor and producer of horror films, Hammer Films has been successful in partnering with Warner Bros to distribute similar films. The production company seeks to entertain audiences and inform them of the true mythology behind supernatural films, and Hammer Films' expertise in the horror genre would help distribute the film effectively.
