The document discusses how the media product represents social groups through its characters. It notes that the female protagonist Joan is portrayed as powerful and in control over the male hostage, contrasting common media portrayals of women as victims.

Horror genre miss seaston1
The document discusses common character types in horror genre films. The main protagonist is typically a brave male hero who shows little emotion. The villain is often portrayed as inhuman through masks or unrealistic reactions to injuries to prevent audience connection. Non-believers are overconfident males who are usually the first to die by doubting the threat. Hysterical females remain in danger and break down, facing death. The final girl theory refers to the last surviving female character who confronts the killer by embodying virtues like virginity, intelligence and attractiveness.
Evaluation Question 2
The document summarizes how two social groups, young men, were represented in the film. One character, Rob Ellison, plays the victim and is portrayed as vulnerable and helpless as he is chased by the other character. The second character, Ciaran Cochlan, plays the murderer and is portrayed as deranged, psychotic, and a threat due to his size and disturbing facial expressions. Both characters are of a similar age and outfit to show they are of the same social group but on opposite ends of the spectrum.
Evaluation question 2
This document summarizes how the media product represents particular social groups. It represents gender by featuring a female main character portrayed as a "Damsel in Distress" who is vulnerable and a victim. The film would have a different effect if the main character was male. It also represents age by showing the main character is quite young through her costume and the actress, portraying her as more vulnerable since teenagers are often seen as naive.
Evaluation question 2
The media product represents young female social groups as victims in horror films. It uses the common trope of the innocent young female victim, as seen in films like Scream, where the main character is a young girl murdered without reason. This stems from the misconception of females as weaker and fits audience expectations of the "damsel in distress" role. The killer is left mysterious, like in Saw and Halloween, shown only as an anonymous adult male portrayed as more menacing to viewers. While conforming to typical horror conventions, the creator feels the opening sequence crosses somewhat into thriller territory as well.

It notes that women are often portrayed as weak and in need of saving, especially in action and thriller genres. However, some recent blockbuster films have featured strong female protagonists who are the heroes. When it comes to the portrayal of teenagers and racial minorities, stereotypes from music and media have often involved criminal or negative behavior. However, some films like Attack the Block and Moonlight have challenged these stereotypes by portraying teenagers and people of color in a more positive or nuanced light. The document also analyzes how some of these stereotypes are both embraced and subverted in the film being discussed.
Poster overview
This document analyzes eight movie posters from slasher films and identifies common patterns and conventions across the posters.

Weapons associated with each killer, like Jason's machete in Friday the 13th, are also featured. Location settings aim to isolate and scare viewers. Overall, the posters emphasize villains, weapons, blood-colored schemes, and ominous settings to promote fear and intrigue around the films' violent narratives.
Conventions of a thriller
The document discusses the key conventions of thriller genres. It defines thrillers as involving fast pacing, action, heroes defeating villains through suspense and mystery.

It then examines several subgenres of thrillers like spy, political, military, conspiracy, medical, psychological, and horror thrillers. Each subgenre explores the protagonist facing threats in different contexts like espionage, warfare, health issues, or psychological manipulation. Alfred Hitchcock is cited as directing some of the earliest thriller films in the 1920s-1930s.
Conventions of Psychological horror.
Psychological horror films focus on audiences' deepest fears and disturbing their sense of reality. They typically take place in ordinary, everyday settings like houses, woods, schools and hospitals to seem realistic and allow audiences to imagine themselves in the story. The killers often appear normal initially but are surprisingly revealed to be dangerous, messing with viewers' minds. While weapons may be present, psychological horror emphasizes the twisted antagonist's manipulation of victims' minds through fear and mind games over physical violence. Contrapuntal sounds are also used to intentionally disorient audiences.
Evaluation Question 2

Evaluation q.2
This document summarizes how the media product represents certain social groups. It shows only one hidden character at first, then introduces others from different groups. The main characters are young males, with the villain being a huge strong man focused only on power and strength over intelligence, fitting a stereotype.

The document describes the key characteristics and portrayals of three main social groups in the film "The Vengeance":
1) The interrogator is portrayed as self-confident, independent, and opinionated. She wears smart, minimalist clothing and uses direct questioning techniques like over-the-shoulder shots to appear dominant and in control.
2) The victim is portrayed as independent but vulnerable. She wears pretty, floral clothing and speaks with stress to appear gentle yet in danger. Crane shots are used to make her seem unsafe.
3) The villain is inspired by mysterious characters from other films. He wears all black and remains silent to seem threatening and add suspense. High angles show his dominance
Halloween film case study analysis
The document provides an analysis of various technical elements in the film Halloween. It discusses how iconography like the knife and mask are used to indicate the slasher/horror genre. Characterization follows common stalker/horror tropes like the "final girl" and victims. Cinematography utilizes point-of-view shots from the killer's perspective to build tension. Editing includes quick cuts between scenes to show the unfolding tragic events. Sound design relies on silence and a recurring musical theme to create an ominous atmosphere.
Thriller gender representations
In most thriller films, gender is commonly represented through stereotypes such as the heroic male who saves the weak female prize. The Bourne Identity follows this pattern with the female lead initially portrayed as weak but becoming hardened through the story. Shutter Island subverts expectations by representing the female character as both weak-minded yet also driving the male detective to insanity. The Hunger Games reverses stereotypes by portraying Katniss as the heroic bow-wielding female who must often save the weak male Peeta, though some scenes still depict conventional stereotypes of femininity and romance.

The poster for the film Halloween features the title in large, bold orange text against a black background. The use of orange relates to the holiday of Halloween and pumpkins. It also corresponds to the large physique of the antagonist Michael Myers. The text "Evil has a destiny" in white may suggest that Myers' motives are pure as he returns for his sister, not to harm her. At the top is "A Rob Zombie Film" to draw in his established fan base within the horror genre. In the background is a figure holding Myers' iconic mask and a knife, displaying him as the villain.

Ancillary magazine
Welcome Home is a new horror film from production company A&A that is being released in theaters. Reviews have called it one of the scariest films yet for its ability to make viewers afraid of being home alone at night. The film stars Aidan Carter, and an article provides an interview with the actor as well as background on A&A Company and their filmmaking experience.
Teaser poster research
Teaser posters are created earlier than info posters to announce upcoming films. Teaser posters do not reveal the storyline and keep locations and protagonists hidden. Info posters contain actor names and taglines, while teasers usually omit this. Teasers for Friday the 13th showcase the antagonist since it's synonymous with the franchise. Final Destination 5 and The Dark Knight Rises teasers follow this format- hinting at the franchise/location but omitting details. Deepwater Horizon shows the setting and destruction while crediting the lead actor to generate interest without prior recognition. Based on this, the document concludes a teaser poster for an original short film should showcase the location and props but not characters to maintain mystery.
Character profiles
Taylor is the protagonist, played by Aidan Carter. Taylor is given an androgynous name to subvert expectations of the "final girl" trope. Taylor will be dressed casually in a large jumper and skinny black trousers to represent comfort and threaten ordinary life. The child antagonist's name and identity will remain unknown to keep the audience intrigued by the mystery. Sounds of knocking will indicate the child is mischievous. The child will be shown in silhouette wearing a pinafore dress and pigtails, identifying it as a young child.

Audience research
This document contains the results of a questionnaire given to audiences to determine their preferences in the horror genre. It asked about what props, subgenres, victims, attackers and fears they associate with horror films. Common responses included weapons as props, slasher and paranormal as preferred subgenres. Females and the elderly were seen as common victims while adult males and paranormal figures were seen as attackers. Respondents also preferred jump scares, feeling on edge or creeped out over gore. Suggested film locations included abandoned, isolated, dark or wooded areas.
Dust buddies
The document provides a technical analysis of the 3D CGI animated short film "Dust Buddies". It summarizes that the plot involves two dust creature friends helping each other overcome a fear of the hovering vacuum. Various camera techniques like low angles are used to establish the vacuum-wielding woman as intimidating. The pace of editing increases during tense moments. There is no dialogue to keep the plot simple for young audiences. Soundtracks match the emotion of scenes. The short follows a common narrative structure of equilibrium, dilemma, and resolution.
Short film distribution
Short films can be distributed through film festivals and online streaming sites. Some of the top UK short film festivals include the London Short Film Festival and the Aesthetica Film Festival. The Cannes Film Festival also screens short films. Short film festivals promote creativity and provide a platform for amateur filmmakers to gain exposure. They can help launch careers, as the director of the short film "Alive in Joburg" later directed the feature film "District 9". While streaming sites often lack short films due to budget issues, some sites like Vimeo and FilmsShort.com specifically showcase short films. Winning short films may also lead to feature film adaptations or prequels.
Technologies
The document summarizes the various technologies used in the production of a media project. It discusses the use of a Panasonic Lumix GF6 camera for filming, Blogger for planning and research blogging, Google accounts for sharing content online, the Voice Memos app for recording audio, Outlook/Office 365 for sharing documents and links, Facebook Messenger for communication, a MacBook Pro for video editing in iMovie, and SlideShare/Prezi for presenting research in an engaging way on the blog. Many of the technologies allowed for easy sharing and collaboration between group members.
Media institutions
This document discusses different types of film distributors and their roles. It explains that distributors are responsible for marketing and releasing films in theaters and on DVD. It also discusses targeting either broad "tent-pole" global audiences or more niche domestic audiences. The document provides examples of different distributors like Film 4, Lionsgate, and Working Title, noting their budgets and audience reach. It concludes that due to the niche motorsports drama topic, the film discussed should seek funding from organizations like BFI/National Lottery that support independent low-budget films.
Daily call sheet day 1
This document is a call sheet for the production of "Driven" that is filming scenes on Day 1. It lists the scene details including location, cast members involved, and extras needed. It also provides call times for cast and crew and details resources needed to dress the set locations.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Antagonist jason voorhees
- 1. How is Jason represented and how does it tap into the ‘fear factor’? ANTAGONIST: JASON VOORHEES
- 2. BACKGROUND ON JASON VOORHEES Jason Voorhees is the ‘slasher’ antagonist from the ‘Friday the 13th’ franchise. He did not appear to be the main antagonist in the original ‘Friday the 13th’ (1980), however became the main antagonist over time. He was represented as a mentally challenged child, before becoming a mass murderer. His mother, Mrs. Voorhees, was also a mass murderer, which is where Jason gets his characteristics from. Jason is known for his hockey mask and his machete, that he uses in his attacks.
- 3. Mise en Scene analysis: The jacket he is wearing is dirty & torn. This shows his financial shortage and therefore his cultural difference. Cohen stated that an antagonists rage is driven by ‘cultural, political, racial, economic & sexual’ issues. Here the economic issue makes him a cultural outsider. The machete is made obvious in this shot, as it is an essential prop for the antagonist. The danger of the weapon is highlighted by how Jason holds the weapon to the side of him, as if he is ready to swing and attack. The mask is signature again. It is made up of faded white and red colours, with holes for breathing. The faded white could be a representation of his fading mental health, as white connotes purity. The red in certain areas reflects this too as red connotes blood. The lack of any facial features seen keeps the murderer mysterious.
- 4. Mise en Scene analysis (continued): He is wearing gloves in this photograph also. These black leather gloves suggest that he is hiding any detail of himself. This makes him seem calculated and experienced in murder. We can comment on the lighting. Here, Voorhees is pictured in the dark, a common fear within modern society. Commonly with slashers, all killers are picture at night and so this encodes the sub-genre also. Common fears are also associate with Jason Voorhees here, such as the fear of extreme weather (in this case rain) and isolation. Finally, the long shot of Voorhees can make him seem powerful, as he takes up the majority of the picture.
