This document presents a study comparing several machine learning models for personal credit scoring: logistic regression, multilayer perceptron, support vector machine, AdaBoostM1, and Hidden Layer Learning Vector Quantization (HLVQ-C). The models were tested on datasets from a Portuguese bank. HLVQ-C achieved the highest accuracy and was the most useful model according to a proposed measure that considers earnings from denying bad credits and losses from denying good credits. While other models had higher error rates for good credits, HLVQ-C balanced accuracy and usefulness the best, making it suitable for commercial credit scoring applications.

Vibe is a magazine focused on R&B and hip-hop music, launched in 1993 by Quincy Jones. While it shut down print production in 2009, it was purchased by a private equity firm and continues online. The magazine features artists and entertainers predominantly from the hip-hop world. Its target audience is between ages 18-34, especially those interested in hip-hop culture.
Kerrang magazine analysis.pptx
The document analyzes the front cover, contents page, and a double page spread from Kerrang Magazine. The summaries highlight key design elements:
1) The front cover uses a cracked font for the masthead and cover lines to connote heaviness of rock. The Green Day image and other elements reflect the style of rock music.
2) The contents page also uses a cracked masthead and main image reflecting rock style. It is organized into sections for different content types.
3) The double page spread has a unique heading style matching the profiled band My Chemical Romance. Bright colors in the image reflect their music genre. The article discusses their attempt to reinvent their style.
Questionnaire Results
The document summarizes the results of a 10 question questionnaire. It found that 92% of respondents use social networking sites, most commonly Facebook and Twitter. The majority of respondents were between 16-21 years old and use social media to connect with friends and socialize. Respondents indicated that social media patterns have changed since younger ages, shifting from gaming to connecting. Around 75% correctly understood that 3 in 4 people worldwide use social media, and over half watched documentaries.
Top 10 pop songs
This document provides a summary of the top 10 pop songs as selected by About.com. It lists the song, artist, year of release, record label and a one sentence description for each song highlighting its popularity, impact and significance within pop music history. Some of the songs featured include "Hey Ya!" by Outkast, "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon, "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart, "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys and "Imagine" by John Lennon.
Theorists of music videos
Sven E Carlsson identifies two main categories of music videos: performance videos that show the artist singing and dancing, and conceptual videos that show something other than the artist. He also describes how performance videos often portray the artist as selling their image and lifestyle to promote their music and brand. Michael Shore argues that many music videos contain recycled styles, information overload, and depict adolescent male fantasies involving speed, power, girls, and wealth, making them resemble soft-core pornography. Andrew Goodwin outlines various theoretical lenses through which to understand music videos, such as cinematic genre, advertising, television, visual art, and poetry.
Are you an artist or a singer
The document outlines key differences between an artist and a singer. An artist has a distinct style and creates their own musical genre, while a singer emulates other artists' styles. An artist develops a fan base and brand that is uniquely theirs, whereas a singer does not create their own identifiable persona and follows work opportunities. An artist carefully considers everything from their music to public image to marketing to maintain a consistent brand, while a singer is more flexible in what they perform and how they present themselves.

The document discusses the process of creating a two minute opening scene for a psychological thriller film. It outlines some typical conventions for the genre including a main character with a mental illness, mind games, a sense of danger and isolation, and dark settings. The student incorporated some of these conventions like a character with a mental illness and a sense of isolation. The opening scene builds tension and establishes characters and themes without revealing too much of the plot, conforming to typical conventions. It subverts one convention by portraying the female character as strong rather than weak.
Script for the boyz nicki minaj and cassie (music video)
The script is for a music video featuring Nicki Minaj and Cassie. It takes place on a proscenium arch stage. Nicki Minaj raps several verses expressing her dominance in hip hop. Cassie sings a chorus about men spending money on love. They alternate verses, with Cassie singing the chorus between Nicki's raps. In the final scene, Nicki and Cassie come together and Cassie repeats the chorus as the song ends.
Feminism
The document discusses representations of women in media. It notes that while feminism has brought significant changes to women's roles over 40+ years, media representations remain largely the same. Women are predominantly portrayed based on narrow standards of beauty, size, and sexuality and tend to be emotional and focused on relationships rather than independence. They often take passive, helper roles in dramas and are victims more than active characters. Men are represented 3 times more in TV dramas and tend to be the focus of news stories. Stereotypical portrayals that conform to societal expectations are more common, and non-conforming characters are seen as deviant and face consequences.
Bbfc guidelines
Our group needs to determine the appropriate age rating for our thriller film. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) website provides guidelines for film ratings. The ratings include U (suitable for all ages), PG (parental guidance for children under 8), 12A (for ages 12+ but children under 12 can watch with an adult), 15 (for ages 15+), and 18 (for ages 18+). The guidelines explain what types of content are appropriate at each rating level, such as violence, language, sexual content, drugs and discrimination.
5. how did you attract address your audience
Films like Super 8 attracted younger teenage audiences by advertising on Facebook and children's channels like Nickelodeon and Disney. To attract their target audience, the filmmakers created Facebook and Twitter pages to engage fans in discussions and provide updates on the thriller film. They chose piano music for the opening scene to build tension and mystery, as piano suited the thriller genre better than rock music, which is more for action movies.
Music Videos
The document summarizes and compares the websites of various artists like Drake, Beyoncé, and the music website 4Music. Drake's website is described as simple with minimal design that appeals to those who prefer less clutter. Beyoncé's website represents her fierce and stylish personality through its busy and bold layout. The 4Music website provides up-to-date music news, gossip and charts to keep viewers engaged and coming back regularly for the latest information.

She gets ready, goes downstairs to feed her cat, and finds the note left on the kitchen table with her milk. However, Sonia is displeased to be alone on her special day and sighs as she throws the note away.
Masculinity
The document discusses representations of masculinity in media. It notes that masculinity is typically portrayed through strength, power, attractiveness, physique, and independence. Additionally, media representations of masculinity have become more focused on men's physiques in recent decades. This increased focus has made it difficult for men to live up to unrealistic ideals portrayed in media, just as it has long been difficult for women. As a result, men are encouraged to aspire to look like media role models, but some grow concerned about an inability to achieve such standards, while others worry about perceived anti-male bias.
Love and basketball analysis
The opening sequence of Love and Basketball establishes the setting, introduces the main characters, hints at the narrative, and uses suspense to engage the audience. It is divided into four "quarters" like a basketball game. Extreme long shots show where the story takes place and a character moving in. Clever camera angles make the viewers feel like they are watching unseen. Costume and reactions effectively reveal a main character is a girl in a surprising way. Catchy music and shots of the basketball hoop and players build suspense throughout the sequence.
Psycho part 2
The document discusses representations of crime in psychological thriller films. It notes that in Psycho, criminals are ultimately punished for their crimes with Norman Bates being arrested. Even though the focus is on Marion Crane, she is still punished for her crime by being killed. In Seven, the focus is more on the law enforcers but it also juxtaposes the law enforcer and breaker by highlighting the similarities between John Doe and Lieutenant Somerset. Unlike in Psycho, in Seven the criminal wins in the end and those who are killed seem to deserve it, with there being no true "good" conclusion as the "bad" guy triumphs in the end.
Psycho part 3
Seven features a varied racial representation with the main characters of Detective Somerset, played by Morgan Freeman, and Detective Mills, played by Brad Pitt. The film juxtaposes the black and white detectives as they work together to track down a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as their motives. Overall, the film's racial representation is seen as more realistic and correct compared to other psychological thrillers of the time period.
Psycho gender
This document discusses representations of gender in psychological thriller films. It analyzes the character of Marion Crane in Psycho, describing her as a flawed but strong female character that deviates from the typical "femme fatale" archetype. The document also discusses the male gaze in Psycho and the lack of significant female characters in Seven. It provides examples of how Jodie Foster's character in Silence of the Lambs and Helen Mirren's character in Prime Suspect take on traditionally male roles. The document also analyzes the contrasting characters of Somerset and Mills in Se7en and how Norman Bates is a complex character in Psycho shown through lighting techniques.
10 low budget thrillers
The document discusses several independent and low-budget films from the 1980s to early 2000s that were critical and commercial successes, focusing on how talented directors were able to achieve a lot with limited resources. Some of the films highlighted include Blood Simple, Mona Lisa, Reservoir Dogs, El Mariachi, The Usual Suspects, Bound, The Limey, Sexy Beast, Memento, and The American.
The 5 Best Psychological Thrillers Of All Time.
The document provides summaries for 5 films: The Usual Suspects, a mystery thriller about a survivor of a destroyed boat who provides a convoluted story about 5 criminals; The Butterfly Effect, a sci-fi film about a man who can alter his past memories and change his life; Inception, a sci-fi heist film about dream invasion and executing the toughest job of stealing an idea from someone's mind; Identity, a thriller about 10 strangers at a motel who are killed off one by one; and Shutter Island, a drama set in 1954 about a marshal investigating the disappearance of a murderer from a hospital for the criminally insane.
