The opening sequence features a character named Alexandra Davis, a 17-year-old girl portrayed as mysterious. She is dressed in dark clothing like a hoodie and leggings to conceal her appearance and hide something, reflecting her mysterious character. Her blonde hair is left down to make her look bolder. The emotionless depiction is meant to suggest she has left home or done something wrong. Both her clothing and location in a dark, unusual place are intended to represent anti-social groups and make the audience wonder if she will meet someone dodgy. The character and setting are aimed at engaging the target audience.

pitch
The document outlines Izzy Saab's pitch for a film called "Loubs & Lies". The film will be about a rich, spoiled teenage girl who lives a life of lies and has murdered her best friend. It will be a chick flick/mystery genre film targeted at teenage girls that explores themes of selfishness and death. Production will take place primarily at Izzy's house using her mother's closet, bedroom, and bathroom to establish the main character's wealth. Casting calls will be posted on Facebook and community boards seeking a blonde, tall actress to play the protagonist.
How did we attract and address the audience?
The document discusses how the film targeted and attracted its audience. It targeted female audiences aged 16-22 by featuring an ordinary female main character that many could relate to. It also targeted male "slasher crowds" through its gory elements. Both male and female lead characters were used to allow both genders of the audience to identify with one of the main characters. Less obvious elements like mild, non-sinister bedrooms contrasted with typical horror movie bedrooms added surprise and unexpected twists.
Pixelate entertainment pitch
The Pixelate Entertainment pitch proposes a teen drama film targeted at girls aged 15-16. It will follow the coming of age story of a social outcast joining a new school. Pop/rock music will play in the background and scenes will be set in the school to relate to the target audience. The opening scene will show the main character getting ready alone and the ending will show her isolated in a classroom.
Independent textual analysis
The document provides an analysis of two trailers for soap opera television shows. It summarizes the use of verbal codes like dialogue, sound effects and soundtrack. It also analyzes the non-verbal codes of setting, lighting, costumes and characters' facial expressions. Finally, it comments on the technical codes of camera angles, shot types and camera movement used in the trailers. The document then evaluates the strengths of each trailer, noting aspects that would be useful to repeat for a new soap opera trailer. It finds similarities in the dark and dramatic themes of the trailers, and how they balance revealing details and leaving suspense.
Production Log
This document provides a production log and research for a media studies assignment on creating a trailer for a new soap opera. It includes:
1. An analysis of codes and conventions of existing soaps like EastEnders and Coronation Street, noting their focus on working class communities, strong female characters, and multi-stranded narratives.
2. Research on the purpose of trailers, promotion across platforms, and textual analysis of other soaps.
3. Notes from analyzing clips of EastEnders and Coronation Street, identifying codes like romance, conflict, and disequilibrium used to engage audiences.
The document demonstrates planning, research, and understanding of the soap opera genre to create an effective trailer
Pixelate entertainment pitch2
The document outlines a pitch by Pixelate Entertainment for a teen drama film. It discusses researching similar films like Juno and Mean Girls to understand the genre. Research with their target audience of 15-16 year old girls found they preferred a dramatic film set in school with exaggerated characters. Each member provides an individual synopsis, with common themes of a social outcast character in a new school. The final synopsis combines elements, focusing on a counter-typical character's isolation through music and bookends of her alone in her bedroom and reading in class.
First Narrative pitch
The document proposes a short film called "The Hoarder" that subverts stereotypes. It would tell the story of an elderly woman who asks a young woman for help carrying groceries. When invited inside, the young woman discovers the elderly woman and a large man keeping people captive in staged "tea parties". The short film aims to surprise viewers by flipping expectations and revealing the elderly woman has her own undisclosed problems. It intends to convey the message that you cannot judge people solely based on appearances.

Representation 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in a film. Scarlett, the bullied protagonist, is shown through close-ups and dark lighting to represent her inner thoughts. Her parents are largely absent from the film to show they do not care about her. Daniel, who befriends Scarlett, is portrayed as formal and well-behaved through his speech and clothing. The bullies are shown as conforming to each other through their clothing and behavior, representing them as "sheep." Cinematography, lighting, sound, costumes and other elements are used intentionally to represent the characters and their relationships in a way that tells the story and elicits the desired audience response.
How does your media product represent particular social groups
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in the author's film opening. It represents gender through the main male character and secondary female character. It targets an audience aged 16-24 by making the characters relatable in age. Costumes represent the target audience's style and a vampire cape/fangs signal the gothic social group. Props, colors, and body language aim to look normal to attract modern social groups. Camera angles and a modern house location also aim to represent and attract today's social groups. The class is portrayed as middle class through the characters' dress and fancy but not excessively wealthy location.
Target Audience Analysis Task
The document analyzes the target audiences of two British soap operas, EastEnders and Coronation Street, based on the characters and situations shown in trailers for each show. It discusses how the audiences for both soaps are typically working class, ranging from students to people with day jobs. They enjoy watching shows that realistically portray characters and situations they can relate to. Both audiences also use the soaps as a routine part of their evenings for social interaction and escape from their daily lives. The target audiences are generally described as mainstream and working class across a wide age range, but predominantly female and middle-aged.
Media 9 shots
The main character is a doll who seems innocent but suggests an underlying evil nature, contradicting how children are typically portrayed. She is presented differently than other characters, as if not fully alive or human. The film has elements of both horror and fantasy - horror due to its dark and unpleasant events suggested by props like scissors and pins, and fantasy through the unrealistic actions and characters. The dull, beige atmosphere and unsettling soundtrack build tension as the film introduces its unusual main character through a sequence of her sewing her own face.
Dreamer Pitch
A boy fantasizes about a relationship with a stranger in the library, but his fantasies are subverted when the perspective shifts to reveal the girl's true intentions of murdering him. Visually, the film contrasts the brown tones of the library with bright pastels in dream sequences. It explores the disparity between the characters' goals through voiceovers and shifting perspectives halfway through the narrative.
Katherina radeva
Katherina Radeva is a performance artist born in 1982 in Bulgaria. Her early work focused on drawings and screen paintings depicting social commentary and plays. More recently, she has created solo performance pieces that explore themes of freedom, barriers, and the struggle between Eastern and Western cultures. Her 2012 piece "Fallen Fruit" used 200 small boxes and a chair to represent breaking down barriers, inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall. Another work, "Native Birds," examined freedom through Bulgarian folklore and paper birds, commenting on her journey from an Eastern European homeland to living in the West. Radeva draws from personal experiences and universal symbols to make her performances accessible while addressing both cultural memory and the present.
Zoe Hickson - Primary Research Analysis
Zoe Hickson conducted a survey to inform the development of a soap opera trailer. The survey results showed that the target audience was mostly ages 15-24, and that trailers influence 65% of viewers to watch a soap opera. Romance was the most popular theme. To appeal to this audience, the soap opera will be set in a school and include relatable characters and issues. It will be named "Park Rise" and feature strong male and female leads. These survey insights will help tailor the trailer to the target demographic.
Props
The document lists and describes several props that will be used including: ripped tights to show Ashley had a rough night, cigarettes to portray the type of characters, a water bottle to show Ashley isn't feeling well, a tight dress to indicate where Ashley has been, and empty alcohol bottles to demonstrate Ashley had a rough night and looks more grown up. Props are objects used by actors to enhance drama and help tell the story.
Target audience
The target audience for the trailer "No Escape" is 16-25 year old males and females. This matches other shows like Waterloo Road and Skins that depict social issues relevant to teenagers, such as bullying, parental pressure, and depression. The trailer will be set in a school to make these themes more relatable to the target demographic. While addressing serious topics, the goal is to attract a younger audience that is typically not reached by soap operas and establish a new branch of the genre.
Eastenders Evaluation
East Enders is a BBC soap opera set in East London that focuses on the dull lifestyles of working class characters. It is implied that a young boy lives in a run-down home based on toys and clothing seen. A scene shows a man sneaking out after a tryst, while another depicts a woman doing her makeup after a similar encounter. The soap explores the daily lives of its characters through their interactions in local cafes and other settings that portray the reality of living in poverty in East London.

Evaluation Question 02
Lola is portrayed as a mysterious yet powerful female character in the opening sequence of a thriller film. Various camera techniques are used to portray her as dominant and keep her identity ambiguous, including low-angle shots that make her appear in control. Her costume of black clothing and expensive jewelry hint that she is elegant yet lives in the modern world. When her name appears, the audience hears her evil, confident laughter, further establishing her as an intimidating figure unlike a stereotypical "damsel in distress".

Treatment for music video
The document provides details on the proposed concept, plot, characters, and style for a music video for the song "Kamikaze" by MØ.

Treatment
The document outlines a proposed short horror film called "X Marks the Spot." It would follow two teenagers, Alex and Chloe, as they go on a surprise date in the woods organized by Alex.

The target audience is suggested as 18-30 year olds who would engage with the film on social media. Details are provided on the filming style, music choice, and initial script treatment.

How does our media product represent a particular
This document analyzes how the media product represents social groups such as women and men. It argues that women are represented negatively as overly emotional and mentally unstable. The main character and her niece are shown to have mental health issues stemming from their childhood. Men are represented as cold, emotionless problem-solvers who see mentally ill women as routine cases. However, the document also notes that these representations were not intentional, as the goal was to portray a type of mental illness, not send messages about gender. Choosing a female lead helped use childish props and costumes to link to Alice in Wonderland.
Media evaluation
The document provides details about the opening sequence for a thriller film created by Laura Rozario. It summarizes:
- The opening establishes the main character (a mysterious teenage girl), setting (dark town), and begins to introduce the narrative/plot (the girl carries a mysterious package).
- Production company and distributor logos are included at the beginning to recognize their important roles. Vertigo Films was chosen as the production/distributor company.
- The sequence uses lighting, shots of buildings and the package to subtly introduce these elements without fully explaining the plot, leaving questions for the audience.
- The film is rated 12A to target older teenagers by including moderate language, brief sexual references/

The document discusses how a media product represents teenagers aged 15-21. It focuses on the main character, Alex, a 17-year-old girl. To make Alex relatable, she is given typical teenage problems like bullying, low self-esteem, and experimenting with drugs. Her clothing is in modern styles from popular stores to appear like a normal teenager. Dark colors are used that represent death, which is a theme in the film, and allow the audience to identify with Alex by owning similar clothing items. Her reckless drug use without understanding the risks also portrays common teenage behavior.
Halls costume
The document discusses the costume choices for two characters, Lee and Soph, in a film scene. For Lee, the directors chose a black t-shirt, grey sweatpants, and no jacket or shoes to portray him as lazy after a night out. For Soph, the directors chose glasses, a silver bracelet and ring, a burgundy sweatshirt, and jeans to portray her as intelligent, determined, and quiet but with a backstory, as she is from a different part of the UK. The costumes were meant to subtly convey themes and backstories for the characters without overtly explaining them.
Actors, Costume and Props
The document discusses the casting choices for several roles in a dystopian film set in a derelict building. Actors between ages 14-18 were chosen so that their ages match the target teenage audience. Descriptions are provided for each actor and why they were chosen, focusing on their experience, appearance fitting the roles, and not having distinguishing features.
The document also discusses costume and prop choices to reinforce the post-apocalyptic, deprived setting. Clothing will be dark, oversized, ripped or dirty to imply a struggle for survival. Props like an old pocket watch, mattress, blankets, and empty food tins will establish the derelict environment and hint at the characters' deprivation. Contact

It will feature three main characters - Alex, Sophie, and Alex's brother - and incorporate themes of identity, morality, and gender roles.

Over the weeks they are locked in, the series will focus on their assorted efforts to escape while also exploring the evolving relationships between the group as they try to survive each other's company and stay safe.
Detailed planning
The music video will take place primarily in a family household to depict a broken family. Scenes will also show the mother at her stressful office job, meant to convey her role in supporting the troubled family.
The three main characters are a teenage girl struggling with abuse, her abusive father portrayed as a stereotypical middle-aged man, and a mother figure who is overworked trying to hold the family together, dressed in bleak colors.
Lighting and props like the girl's teddy bear and a "World's Best Dad" mug will be used to subtly convey themes of innocence, loss of childhood, and the failing father-daughter relationship through contrasts and symbolic drops and breaks as the abuse escalates.

Poster 1 for The Orphan depicts a young girl named Esther with sinister implications from her tight hair, black bows, and choker suggesting she is evil.
Poster 2 for Sinister shows a young girl smearing blood on a wall while a masked figure's face is obscured in the blood, implying torture and children being antagonists.
Poster 3 for The Possession features a young girl named Em levitating in a nightgown in front of a mysterious glowing box, suggesting her possession is entering her body, while the tagline "Pray for her" implies a religious theme of exorcism.

A variety of camera angles like close-ups will be used. The girl wears pink and the stalker wears black. Filming will take place in forests to seem isolated. Mysterious music with the girl's breathing will build tension.

AS MEDIA EVALUATION QUESTION 2
- 1. HOW DOES YOUR OPENING SEQUENCE REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS
- 2. The main character in our opening sequence is Alexandra Davis, Female, 17. In the sequence she played a teenage girl, 17 years old. First of all we wanted to show significance with her clothing as the plot of our opening sequence is to do with Alex's mysterious character, and the brown package that no one knows about. So by this we dressed her in a dark hoody and dark leggings, this way, as mentioned before - the audience will not be able to make out who she is, what she is doing, or what she looks like. We also had Alex have her hood up throughout the opening, as we wanted this to represent that she has had something to hide too, as she looks like she is trying to hide her body, face and emotions. This again highlights the fact that the opening sequence will not give any of the story away. We tried making Alex look quite anti-social with her clothing also. But we wanted her to be someone who adults would label a hoodlum! By this we thought having her long blonde hair down would make her look more like a louder and bolder person, because of the fact that she looks like she takes pride and care of her appearance.
- 3. With how emotionless we made the character look, we though it could also bring an idea that the audience may think that she has left home or if she's running away from something that she has done wrong previously. In my opinion, I think that Alex's character really suited out target audience as some viewers may be able to relate on either how she looks or how they think she is feeling, or what she has done. Overall Alex's character is good to get an audience opinion on, we feel that first opinion will always be who she is and what she has done, which will relate to the audience trying to put her into a certain social group. We also feel that the setting of our opening sequence will represent social groups too. Normally we associate anti social gangs to hang around in places that seem unusual, and also places that they are not supposed to be. This is why we tried on having Alex on her own, in the dark, in a place where you wouldn't expect her to be. This makes the audience wonder if she's going to meet anyone, which in your mind you would expect if she were to meet any one. it will be a group of young teenagers, or a single teenager. Both of which would be dodgy.
