The document discusses an existing documentary called "College Conspiracy" that explores similar topics around myths of higher education. While focused on the American system, it looks at claims about earnings potential with degrees. Techniques from this documentary that influenced the document's creators include using title sequences to flash up facts, employing a narrator to guide the narrative, and adjusting music for different interview tones. However, their production will include an on-screen presenter to make it more trustworthy and use additional music to reinforce their message.
Representation Theory Evaluation
This document discusses how the music video draws from several influences in its narrative and visual elements:
1) It references the documentary "The Duct Tape Messiah" and the song "Reverend" through its use of duct tape.
2) Scenes were inspired by the music video for "Take Me To Church" by Hozier, including close-ups of a church fence and bars representing confinement.
3) Walking scenes reference the protagonist's journey, as seen in the music video for "Daydreaming" by Radiohead.
4) The portrayal of the reverend challenges stereotypes as seen in the film "Ted" by subverting expectations of religious figures.
Evaluation Question 5: How did you attract/address your audience?
The document discusses how the filmmakers attracted and addressed their audience in several ways:
1) They made the actors relatable by portraying them with hidden identities and situations that some audience members could relate to, such as not openly disclosing their sexuality to friends and family.
2) They incorporated a popular song into the opening scene that most of the audience would recognize to draw them in.
3) They advertised the film on social media, knowing it was popular with their target demographic, to increase awareness of the film to a large number of potential viewers.
Unsigned Research
The document analyzes three potential songs for an unsigned artist music video: "Under The Blue Tree" by a Swedish band, "The Drop" by a UK-based band, and "Frontin" by a local solo artist. The Swedish band's song is suitable because its lyrics are not too fast for lip syncing. The UK band would be easier to contact. However, the local solo artist's song is considered the most convenient option because he could be asked to appear in the video, helping the video stand out from other student projects.
Genre Theory Evaluation
This document discusses genre theory and how it relates to music videos. It addresses several key points:
1) Genre is a tool used to categorize different media texts and allows separation into categories. Genres have subgenres with more specific codes. However, genres are dynamic and evolve over time.
2) When creating a music video, the author studied typical genre conventions and found research on music video genres to be useful.
3) Important themes for music videos to attract younger audiences include teen angst, rebellion, and nostalgia, which the author's video incorporates.
4) The video challenges some conventions, like using an acoustic guitar atypical of the indie genre, but focuses on narrative over

It summarizes key points from theorists like Tim O'Sullivan, Roland Barthes, Tzvetan Todorov, Claude Lèvi-Strauss, Andrew Goodwin, Sven Carlsson, and Vladimir Propp. The author analyzes how their music video establishes themes, presents problems, and finds resolution in line with some conventional narrative structures, but also challenges aspects like ambiguity, clear equilibrium, and instrumental performance alignment.

Evaluation question 1: Codes and Conventions
The document analyzes different conventions used in documentaries, radio advertisements, and print advertisements. It discusses conventions for interviews in documentaries such as including the interviewee on the right or left side of the frame and having them answer questions directed to the interviewer. It also discusses using voiceovers, music, and extracts from the documentary in radio advertisements to follow conventions. For print advertisements, it explains conventions like using an eye-catching main image, including the channel logo, using minimal text, and including scheduling information.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the creator addressed their audience for their movie "Epic Love". The title indicates it is a romantic love story to attract those who like that genre. Teenagers in particular would be drawn to it since the word "Love" appeals to them. The actors are also teenagers which would interest teenager viewers since it follows two nerds. Background music tracks from the creator's pianist uncle were selected and used to enhance the silent video portion of the movie.
Eval 1
Our documentary follows many of the standard conventions of documentary films. We framed interviews on the left or right third of the shot with the interviewee facing the interviewer. We included captions identifying interviewees and their relevance. We also used cutaways and archive footage to smoothy transition between edited interview answers, and included relevant clips during interviews to keep viewers engaged. Our documentary's background visuals and poster also matched the topic being discussed to adhere to conventional documentary production standards.
First draft storyboard
The document is a breakdown of scenes and elements in a movie trailer. It analyzes how the trailer uses techniques like intertitles, logos, color, characters, and plot details to convey the genre is a romantic comedy about teenage relationships. The trailer establishes the main characters are students through scenes at school and references to technology like texting. It also teases narrative elements like the couple arguing and disagreeing to generate intrigue about how their relationship issues will resolve.
Language Used
This document analyzes the language used in alternative rock magazines. It finds that the magazines often use language related to negativity, violence, and intimidation. Words like "knock them over" and "blood on the dance floor" are commonly found on covers. Some magazines also include censored swearing. This language is likely used to appeal to the target audience and represent the bands. The document concludes that when making their own magazine, they will aim to follow these conventions regarding language used in alternative rock magazines.
Questionnaire analysis final
Through a questionnaire of 20 teenagers, the document analyzes feedback on music genres and preferences. The most popular music genre was pop, and the most common favorite era was the 2010s. Most participants had watched a pop music video. Common themes in pop videos included drugs, alcohol, sexuality, and fast cars. Participants expressed interest in stories and narratives in videos. Most felt videos helped explain songs, and the most important aspect of videos was the narrative. Half said videos influenced their opinions of songs.
Researching theories
The document summarizes three theories about music videos: Goodwin's theory, Hall's theory, and Mulvey's theory. Goodwin's theory focuses on links between visuals and songs, intertextual references, and the artist being prominently featured. Hall's theory emphasizes how cultural factors and context influence representations in music videos. Mulvey's theory, known as the "male gaze," postulates that music videos and films typically depict women through the perspective of heterosexual men. The document provides examples of music videos that both support and dispute Mulvey's theory.
Storyboard feedback
The document summarizes feedback received from showing a storyboard to 4 people in the target market age group. Respondent 1 thought the storyboard had a good range of shots and clear narrative. Respondent 2 felt adding another character would improve it. Respondent 3 said it was simple but may be missing something key. Respondent 4 enjoyed the blend of shots and timing. The feedback will help improve the storyboard and final product, possibly by adding a character or extra twist to the story.
Sriptwriting For Radio
This document provides information about various aspects of scriptwriting for radio shows. It discusses pre-show scriptwriting, the inclusion of features like advertisements and interviews, the need to script shows to maintain topics of discussion. It also covers documentary packages, music scripts, live features, signposting, abbreviations, punctuation, expanding acronyms, use of formal vs. colloquial language, spelling words phonetically, in/out cues, natural speech rhythms, and continuity announcements between programs.
Audience Feedback Graphs
Eight people participated in the focus group, with an equal number of males and females. Most feedback was positive, with the film averaging an 8 out of 10 rating. While sound was criticized as sometimes too loud, 100% agreed that the genre was clear and that the storyline was the strongest element. All participants would recommend the video to others.
Double page spread and newspaper article research
This document compares and contrasts double page spreads used in different magazines and television channels to advertise programs. Channel 4 spreads typically feature a single large background image representing the program alongside only the title and channel logo. This visual focuses attention on the image to convey what the program is about. Radio Times spreads contain more text and multiple smaller images with captions, adopting more of an article format to describe program details in depth. While both aim to advertise programs effectively, Channel 4 relies more heavily on evocative photography to grab attention, while Radio Times provides more substantive behind-the-scenes information.
Pencil Productions pitch
Pencil Productions is planning a teen drama film based on audience research. The majority of respondents wanted a drama about a female main character set at a party with a murder mystery storyline involving hip hop/R&B music. The character should be rebellious and popular with mainly teen characters and no happy ending. Several ideas were proposed for the film synopsis including using a twist where the good guy is actually evil, cross-cutting editing techniques, dark special effects, impactful backing music during action scenes, and an overall mysterious twist. The final synopsis will incorporate cross-cutting, special effects/editing, impactful music/sound, and an unexpected twist.
Question four and five
The document discusses targeting a specific audience for a film rated R between ages 17 to 35. Research was conducted on existing R-rated films and audience feedback to determine the appropriate rating and elements to include. Violence and mystery were chosen as they appeal to males and a wider audience. Hoodies were included to appeal to teenagers. The film addresses this audience through a violent plot and enigma to intrigue viewers and make them question what will happen. Targeting a specific demographic makes it easier to appeal to and attract that group rather than trying to appeal to everyone.
Evaluation Question 5
The document discusses several ways the filmmakers attracted and addressed their audience. They made the actors relatable by focusing on the main character's hidden sexuality that he hasn't told friends and family about, showing a situation many people face. They used a popular song in the opening scene to draw audiences in. They also would market the film on social media given its popularity, and use billboards in cities and towns to advertise to a wide audience. Holding a premiere in London would generate significant press and publicity.
Audience Evaluation
The document discusses the target audience and rating for a film that deals with the mature theme of paedophilia. It states that the film has been given a 12A certificate because it is suitable for ages 12 and over, as the lack of explicit scenes means those ages would be able to relate to the themes. However, if the film contained very strong language, depictions of sexual activity, violence or discriminatory content, the rating would be increased to 15.
Radio times article
The document summarizes the layout and design conventions of an article from Radio Times magazine. Key aspects include the use of drop caps to indicate the start of the article, a large main image spanning one page to convey the topic, and an enlarged heading on the left with a subheading below. The style represents the in-house magazine format with a navy and white color scheme. The target audience appears to be middle-aged women based on the subject of the main image and language used. Strengths include professionally spaced text and clear, relevant images while weaknesses are a lack of visual interest and limited color palette that may not appeal to younger readers.

Q1 codes and conventions
Our documentary uses and develops several conventions of real documentaries such as using an off-screen presenter, actual footage without actors, interviews with experts and the public, titles and subtitles, and background music. However, it challenges some conventions like not including sound effects and using handwritten papers for the title sequence instead of animation to fit its target audience of students and focus on the topic of violence in video games. Overall, the documentary aims to look professional by following main documentary codes while putting its own creative spin.
Analysis of example student radio trailers
The document analyzes examples of student radio trailers and identifies codes and conventions used. It notes that the examples all followed a similar pattern of announcing the channel and air date, including interviews and facts about the topic. Sounds specific to the topic were used in some to give listeners an idea of the documentary subject. A table lists positives such as announcing broadcast details, using music/sounds, clear script delivery, and interview montages, as well as potential negatives like unclear overlapping voices and irrelevant sound effects.
Evaluation
The document discusses how a media production team used and developed conventions of documentary films in creating their own documentary. They analyzed other documentaries like "Supersize Me" to understand common documentary codes and conventions. Their documentary employed conventions like formal interviews with titles and professionals in their work environments, as well as casual vox pops with ordinary people. The team linked their documentary, magazine article, and radio advertisement through consistent branding elements like color schemes, fonts, and incorporating clips and music from the documentary.

Evaluation
The document discusses how the media producer's documentary, magazine article, and radio trailer used and challenged conventions of real media products. To make the pieces feel realistic and professional, conventions like straight cuts and interviews were followed. However, the documentary did not include an on-screen narrator to fit all the information in the 5 minute runtime. The pieces were also effectively combined by having a similar theme, target audience, voice, and colors to attract younger viewers and tie the products together cohesively.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses ways that the products (print ad, radio trailer, documentary) were designed to work together and relate to the same purpose for the audience. Key connections included using the same slogan "What's next Boss?" across all products, having the same title and scheduling information, using the same voiceover in the documentary and radio trailer, and including the same music and voxpop clips in both the documentary and radio trailer. This was done to ensure audiences would know the products were made for the same purpose and to encourage them to watch the documentary.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses how different elements were used consistently across multiple products to tie them together and ensure audiences recognized they were related. The same slogan, title, scheduling, voiceover, and music were used in a documentary, radio trailer, and print ad. Voxpops were also included in both the documentary and radio trailer to give listeners a taste of the content and encourage them to watch. The goal was to make clear the products were promoting the same thing and reduce confusion for audiences.
--Applying all 1 b essay guide
The document discusses possible themes and approaches for analyzing media language in a music video using theories from MANGeR (Media, Audiences, Narrative, Genre, Representation). It suggests three main themes: 1) Issues with discussing the meaning of the video or its agency given participatory culture and user-generated content; 2) Postmodern elements like intertextuality and breaking down distinctions between high and popular culture; 3) Differences in perspectives on what defines music videos, such as whether the sound or image dominates as proposed by Vernallis and Goodwin respectively. The document provides examples and theorists to support analyzing the video through these lenses.

They analyzed comedic interview show "Contractual Obligation" to understand how to keep listeners engaged without pauses. They also examined a formal Brexit documentary to learn how to appeal to older audiences. Louis Theroux and Ross Kemp documentaries were researched to understand interview styles and using sound effects to build tension. Gibb plans to incorporate constant background sound, full interviews, and building tension with sound in their own production to appeal to younger audiences. Audience research on the BBC Sounds platform will also help tailor the project.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Analysis of radio trailers
- 1. Baldeep Gahir Analysis of radio trailers: I have listened to many radio trailers, in particular past student examples such as the ones shown below so that I am able to identify the typical codes and conventions of one and so that me and my group can reduplicate these rules and apply them to our own product. Main documentaries I listened to: - Education vs appearance - Debate on homework - 12 going on to 20 Listening to all three of the trailers, some of them seem to include some quotes at the beginning on the topic that are interesting and engage the audience without giving away the topic. For example, in 12 going on to 20, they use quotes such as “young girls look older than they are”, and “how much can really be wrong with your skin at ten.” This is the same for Education vs appearance, for example “Gucci, Prada, Boss, Armani…” This leaves the audience intrigued and is likely to get them to carry on listening to find out what the narrator is speaking about. Another point that is interesting to note is the sound effects that are present in each documentary that link to the topic, for example “debate on homework” is about whether students are getting too much homework. At the beginning, we can hear a loud school bell and this links back to the idea of a school and education and this has an impact on the audience as they are able to familiarise with that sound and it makes a more effective trailer radio trailer. This is also the case with another student documentary called “too much horror” where the famous instrumental music for the film “Jaws” is used and this is once again associated with the theme of horror and once again links to the topic of the documentary.
- 2. Baldeep Gahir The majority of the documentaries use background music which is used at a low volume to make sure it doesn’t overpower the narrators, and still keep the radio trailer lively and exciting. All of the radio trailers, included the title of the documentary, the date and time of when it would be aired and the channel (for example, bbc3, channel 4 etc.) This is so that the radio trailer and the documentary are linked together and it sounds more professional and realistic. The radio trailers all used snippets of the documentary, for example some of the vox-pop and the expert interviews were used to present feelings and opinions from a variety of people, and could even be included to signify a contrast. For example, in the radio trailer “Menenism”, some of the quotes included more light-hearted /jovial comments in the vox pops such as “It was a joke on twitter”, to more serious views expressed in the expert interviews such as “I didn’t chose to be born this way.” A summary of the codes and conventions present In a radio trailer: - title of documentary - date and time of being aired - TV channel - Background music - Sound effects - Clips taken from the documentary
