Media regulations presentation
This document summarizes UK media regulations for factual and current affairs programming. It outlines laws around accuracy, harm reduction for youth audiences, truthful representations, secret filming, payments to contributors, reconstructions, offensive material, fairness, commercial references, criminality, impartiality, protections for under-18s, and dealing with contributors. It provides an example of how these regulations may have applied to Nick Bloomfield's documentary on serial killer Aileen Wuornos, which had to maintain balance, impartiality and objectivity while accurately representing her crimes and story up until her death sentence.
Q2 evaluation
The document discusses how film techniques can convey differences in status, class, and age. It notes that having high status does not require high class, as seen when a cockney drug dealer has the highest status in a scene despite his working-class accent. Camera angles that look up at characters or only show their body parts can indicate higher status. Younger characters are often framed lower in shots and have less screen time to suggest lower status than older characters.
Scrip tword
1. Police officers visit a school after getting a photo from a bank security camera of a potential suspect in a robbery.
2. They ask the school administrator about the girl in the photo but are worried about alarming students.
3. The officers question a girl who admits she was forced to help with the robbery under threat to her mother.
4. She provides information that leads the police to arrest the real criminals behind the robbery.
Music video treatment
The music video treatment tells the story of a male protagonist who discovers his girlfriend cheating on him. It is divided into 5 scenes: 1) a flashback of their relationship, 2) the male sees his girlfriend with another man at a cafe, 3) he walks away in shock seeing her with other men, 4) he runs around distressed continually seeing her face, 5) a new woman consoles him and they connect while the ex disappears in the background. The video aims to flip gender stereotypes by having the female be the cheater.
Codes and conventions
This document analyzes the codes and conventions in existing teen horror films through a discussion of three films: "Dead Wood", "Wrong Turn", and "Dead Mary". Key conventions highlighted include isolated settings, revealing clothing on female characters, separation or death of characters within the first 5 minutes, and elements of being chased or in danger such as tripping while running. Sound and camera techniques like music, shots of the woods, and close-ups of characters' faces are discussed in building tension and fear.
Spooks analysis
This document analyzes several shots from a scene involving an interaction between Caucasian and African characters. The shots are described as establishing dominance and power dynamics. In one close up shot, a man holds a woman's head up, showing his control over her as she avoids eye contact out of fear. Another medium shot shows a black man looking down in fear as a knife is held to his neck. A final shot shows a woman avoiding eye contact with a camera filming her, suggesting humiliation.
Case study 3 final version
1) The music video tells the story of a boy with supernatural powers who is bullied and oppressed.
2) It shows him lashing out destructively at his school and then fleeing into the jungle to escape the police.
3) In the climax, surrounded by police with guns, the boy uses his powers to push them away and then there is a bright flash of light, leaving his fate unknown.
Sin city
Shellie is presented as a confident and independent character at first, but becomes vulnerable when relying on Dwight for help. High angles are used to show her susceptible nature when being attacked. Dwight maintains a calm and relaxed composure throughout the dangerous situation. He handles it professionally with a collected facial expression and sharp actions. Jackie-Boy is portrayed as the unstable and threatening antagonist. He emerges in dark lighting and has an uncaring attitude from his drunken state. Though he seems powerful, he is shown to have weakness when Dwight attacks him and he ends up kneeling on the floor like Shellie.

Convergence
Technological convergence is dramatically changing the media industry and audiences' consumption of content. Various media platforms are starting to replace one another as people can now access books, newspapers, TV, films, music, and more through their smartphones and other Internet-connected devices.

The media industry must adapt to this new converged landscape by offering legitimate online services in order to compete with piracy and illegal downloading.

Tv drama
The document discusses conventions and definitions related to TV dramas. It notes that conventions are common methods or practices expected by audiences and used by producers, such as typical storylines, characters, structure, and production style. A TV drama is defined as having technical storytelling techniques, entertaining and informing audiences through dramatized stories ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours per episode in various genres like crime or soap operas. Effective TV dramas grip audiences with intense openings and resolve episodes while keeping viewers engaged until the conclusion.

Media notes
The document summarizes shots from two video clips depicting scenes in a criminal justice setting. In the first courtroom scene, the main character Ben Coulter is portrayed as weak and vulnerable through the use of close-ups showing his nervous expressions, high angle shots, and reaction shots of worried parents. The prosecutor is depicted as powerful through midshots in their formal attire. In the second prison scene, Ben appears small and weak under low angle and high angle shots, while antagonists are made dominant through over-the-shoulder shots in dark, mysterious lighting. Facial expressions and changes in costume are used to convey Ben's vulnerability and weakened state as he enters the prison system.
evaluation 5
This document summarizes 9 shots from a student media project about domestic abuse. It analyzes the camera angles, lighting, emotions, and intentions behind each shot. Several shots show intimate wedding moments to establish the couple's past happiness. Later shots utilize close-ups and low angles to portray the male character's aggression and dominance as he verbally and physically abuses his wife. Blue filters and shadowy lighting are used to convey coldness and a menacing atmosphere. The shots are intended to realistically depict domestic abuse while also empowering the abuser and eliciting sympathy for the victim from the audience.
Question 5
The document discusses portraying a typical teenager in a film scene. It describes a scene where the main character violently retaliates against neighborhood bullies with a baseball bat. This shows his impulsive and immature nature. Later interview scenes show the consequences of his actions as he is nervously questioned by an official investigator. Close-up shots of his fidgeting hands and inability to make eye contact convey that despite his actions, he remains an innocent minor who is scared and relatable to the target teenage audience.
