Ashtar Command is an indie rock band known for releasing one album and EP. They have had songs featured in media like video games and commercials. One of the band's co-founders has worked with Paul McCartney. Ashtar Command's songs typically have underlying messages of love and are slow-paced with lyrics acting as a backup to the music. Their audience is typically non-gender specific under 25 fans of chillout music, who expect lyrics with meaning, not many lyrics, and relaxing acoustics based on most of their songs. As a relatively unknown band, it's difficult to say how they are represented though their album covers feature nature themes.

CD covers and their stereotypes
The document summarizes and analyzes the cover art of several heavy metal albums. It notes that most covers use dark color palettes, limited ranges of blacks, grays, browns and reds. They often depict confrontational, threatening or violent imagery like blood, agony or religious symbols to match the stereotypical dark and heavy music expected by fans of the genre. While some include images of the bands, most hide behind symbolic imagery that conveys the intended dark themes and attracts the target audience of metal fans.

The album covers for Bastille's two albums, Bad Blood and All This Bad Blood, feature a continuous theme depicting a man running from an oncoming car surrounded by blood. This reinforces the album titles and creates a dramatic feel like a film poster. While the band has not used traditional magazine ads, their social media and tour posters continue this theme to promote ticket sales. The single "Things We Lost in the Fire" also depicts the car crash scene from the music video, tying it to the album artwork branding.

We Are The In Crowd is an American pop-punk band consisting of five members that appeals to a niche audience of active listeners. While pop-punk blends pop and rock genres, WATIC's music also incorporates pop melodies and rock riffs. The band presents a more laid-back image where members are themselves in front of cameras and are not afraid to swear or rebel, yet also appeal to younger fans who look up to them. Their lead singer is female, which is rare in the genre, and focuses more on the music than being portrayed sexually. The band's album packaging and website emphasize symbolism over images of the band and a simplistic design focused on promoting their music.

This poster advertises the 2010 alternative rock album "Hold Me Down" by the band "You Me At Six". The poster features a large image of the album artwork but does not include photos of the band, adding an air of mystery. Text on the poster is written on ripped paper and sellotaped on, giving the band a raw, edgy look. Pertinent information is provided such as the release date, how and where to purchase the album, and a link to the band's website to generate more hype around their new album.
Kerrang! front cover analysis
The document analyzes various design elements of a Kerrang! magazine cover and how they appeal to the target rock music audience. The heading uses a word that references distorted electric guitar sounds, appealing to music fans. Hayley Williams' rebellious pose and the use of the word "NO" portray her as a rock artist and reinforce themes of rebellion. Common rock color schemes of red, white, and black are used. Small pictures of rock bands provide content previews. A poster insert and listings of bands further attract fans of rock music.
Phanukorn niyaboon
The document describes a CD that represents the narrator's life. It contains 8 songs that symbolize different periods or experiences. The songs include "Time" by Cocktail, which represents holding onto love for an ex despite time passing. "Nemesis" by Mild suggests that bad actions done to others will return to the doer. Overall, the CD serves as a metaphor to explain the narrator's life story through the meanings of its musical tracks.
Stylistic Influences
The document discusses stylistic influences for a magazine focused on rock music. It profiles several celebrities associated with rock music genres and their styles, such as Hayley Williams' edgy hair colors and tattoos/piercings of Oli Sykes. It also discusses Dyer's star theory, which suggests that celebrity images are constructed and may not reflect their true personalities.

The document summarizes the contents of a Classic Rock magazine. It describes the cover art featuring a member of AC/DC edited to look like a sketch. The magazine focuses on reviews of emerging and legendary rock artists, both new and old. It contains interviews of famous bands, editorials by the editor, and a free CD from new emerging artists. The summary examines pages 3-4 which feature an article on the late blues artist BB King, praising his contributions and calling him "The Ambassador of Blues music." The black and white photo and formal tone of the article suggest it is paying tribute to the deceased legend.

The man on the cover and the album's grey and black color scheme aimed to represent the band's down-to-earth style and the types of real issues and emotions explored in their songs. Through these visual choices, the band sought to convey the impression that the album was made for their fans rather than fame or money.
Cd covers
CD Covers play an important role in appealing to audiences and gaining new listeners. Artists must consider how to design their album covers to represent their music and stand out amongst competitors. Heavy metal albums often use black covers with dark imagery, while hip hop groups may incorporate bright colors and logos that match their eccentric style. Famous examples that matched their music through iconic cover designs include Marilyn Manson's use of Satanic imagery, A Tribe Called Quest's colorful collage of artists, and Nas' Illmatic featuring a childhood photo that captured the essence of his upbringing in Brooklyn.

Storyboard meed
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers attracted their target audience of 15-21 year olds of both genders. They did this by having the main character and antagonist be a relatable 16 year old male. They also used stereotypical representations of a working class male teenager to make the character relatable. Costumes and props featuring a gun and balaclava helped meet the audience's interest in themes of crime. The locations and sounds placed the audience in the protagonist's shoes and psychological state of mind to match their interest in thrillers.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the opening sequence of a student film project titled "Dementia's Gates". It summarizes the key creative decisions made regarding the title, setting, costumes/props, camerawork/editing, title font/style, story, genre, character introductions, and use of low-level lighting. The opening sequence aims to immediately engage the audience with mystery and confusion typical of the psychological thriller genre through an armed criminal on the run and an ambiguous character encounter in a dark tunnel. Both conventional and unconventional thriller elements are employed to generate intrigue and questions about what will unfold in the film.
Ident ideas
The document discusses potential title card ideas for an upcoming thriller film. It proposes two main ideas:
1) "Switchplay Studios" - A Rubik's Cube is solved in the background, revealing the letters of the production company name. This was the audience's favorite idea.
2) "CodeCrack Productions" - A 9-piece child's puzzle is pieced together to reveal the letters of the alternative production name. This idea was less favored by test audiences.
Both ideas utilize a puzzle element and black/white color scheme to set a mysterious tone that fits thriller film conventions established earlier in the document.

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

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.

- 2. History Ashtar Command haven’t always stuck to one genre, they are known for Indie Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Alternative Rock and Chillout. They have released one album, “Love Songs in Advance of the Landing”, one EP, “Holding Out For Love” and have had their songs feature in all manner of things across media, ranging from video games like Fifa 13 and Red Dead Redemption to Nissan commercials, to the Avengers Soundtrack. One of the co-founders of Ashtar Command has worked with Paul McCartney and even went on tour in South America with him in May 2011.
- 3. Style of the Band Ashtar Command’s songs typically have underlying messages within them and often have a theme of love attached, this can be seen by a select few examples of songs/albums, “Holding Out For Love”, “Into Dust”, “Solve My Problems Today”, “Four Years Gone”. Their songs are often quite slow paced with the lyrics almost acting as a back up to the music which is unconventional as it is normally the other way around.
- 4. Audience and Expectations As mentioned in my potential ideas post, I would say that Ashtar Command have a rather niche audience, consisting of non-gender specific, under 25’s who are fans of the chillout genre. The expectations of their audience are probably in line with what the majority of their songs already are, lyrics with an underlying message, not too many lyrics, and slow-paced, relaxing acoustics.
- 5. How are they represented? With Ashtar Command being a relatively unknown band they don’t release many albums and therefore aren’t in many magazine articles, because of this it is difficult to say how they are represented. However I have inserted an image below of their only albums CD Cover and it complies with what me and Tristan had in mind, in terms of a potential idea, nature.
