Horror Genre Conventions
The document outlines several common conventions of the horror genre including setting conventions that often involve isolated or abandoned areas. It also discusses conventional technical codes like camera angles and editing that are used to create fear. Common iconography in horror includes dark visuals, low lighting, religious props, and monster figures. Narratively, horror often follows the disruption and repair of equilibrium or a story of overcoming a monster, and themes typically involve good vs evil, the supernatural, and fear/terror.
Target audience focus
The document discusses producing a horror/action film targeted at mainstream teenagers. It notes that genre influences all aspects of production from actor behavior and clothing to cinematography and editing. The film will focus on a group of teenagers who typically watch gory films. Clothing of the actors must match expectations of this target audience to appeal to them and encourage buying the music. Mainstream ideas and activities are those regarded as normal by most people, especially youths and young adults in urban areas who dominate mainstream media marketing.
Horror Genre Conventions
This document outlines common tropes and elements found in horror genre fiction including antagonists such as serial killers, ghosts, vampires and zombies. It also lists locations typically featured like haunted houses, dark forests, abandoned cabins and deserts. Finally, it identifies protagonists such as vampire hunters and college kids as well as sub-genres like slasher horror, gothic horror, splatter horror, apocalyptic horror and psychological horror.
Genre conventions
Psychological horror films employ mental weapons rather than physical ones to threaten and distress victims. Common settings that increase fear include houses, forests, hospitals, and schools that audiences can relate to. Flashbacks may explain the killer's disturbed past, while sights like shadows build tension. Disturbed individuals who seek revenge are often the antagonists, sometimes taking the form of children targeting female victims.
Genre Conventions
The document discusses typical conventions and representations in romance films. It notes that romance film plots usually involve two people meeting and developing a relationship that faces obstacles before being resolved. Common themes are love, heartbreak, and films targeted at women. Regarding representations, the document states romance films often portray women as vulnerable seeking love, though some reverse stereotypes, and men are usually strong and desirable but some films show men as more sensitive. Iconography like flowers, kissing, and locations are also discussed.

Research Proposal Assignment Research Proposals exist for tw.docx
Research Proposal Assignment
Research Proposals exist for two reasons: One, as a guide for you to examine the overall shape and scope of your project, and two, to elicit funding from sponsors for said project (usually). As I can pay you only in joy and index cards, this proposal focuses more on the former intended outcome and as practice for future proposals in your career. For our purposes, you will generate a three-paragraph long proposal for your final research paper. Remember that this is a proposal – i.e. a suggestion for what you would like to write about within the confines of your discourse community. Essentially, you’re going to take something you love and identify an exigence affecting the discourse community around that thing you love.
Tip – Your interests/passions will lead you to a subject – such as “global warming”
Your proposal will investigate a topic related to that subject – such as “the effects of global warming on the breeding methods of the Canadian Goose.” (NOTE: the proposal is simply to start investigating the topic. That investigation will lead to your research question and a more formalized inquiry, but don’t try to get to that point just yet).
“HAY GIIIIRRRRLLLLLLLLLL”
Don’t concern yourself with writing an introduction or a conclusion or with presenting the proposal as a concept that is written in stone. You are proposing an investigation, NOT to find a solution.
Paragraph 1: In the first paragraph of your proposal, introduce your research paper topic and describe what you think at this point the main focus of the paper might be. Include a tentative thesis in this paragraph – but think of it more as a hypothesis. The beauty of research is that it is always fluid and informs itself. Therefore, starting out with an axe to grind (so, something you intend to prove) is a recipe for failure. Let the research guide you as you move toward your final paper, but having a preliminary thesis helps your investigation stay focused. What interests you about the topic you have chosen? Why should this exigence be addressed? What value will it provide to the further research of your discourse community?
Paragraph 2: In the second paragraph, discuss the sources that you intend to use. What will be the most useful in investigating your topic? If it will be a literature review, what journals look promising as sites for article collection, and why? If you intend to do a full research project, what methods do you foresee yourself using, and why? Who might the participants be, or will you use a data set instead? (Such as surveying moviegoers vs analyzing 20 movie posters)
Paragraph 3: In the third paragraph, speculate on what obstacles you foresee in this project and/or what you anticipate to be the most difficult part of the assignment. Why? What can you do ahead of time to try and avoid these sorts of roadblocks?

Small group communication
A brief introduction and reflection of your past experiences in groups.
My past experiences of working in small groups has been very challenging whether its working for a school project or for other social events that I have hosted in a collaboration with other student clubs outside of the school.
• Communication among the group is one of the key concepts of successful group work, unfortunately it is one of the hardest things to achieve one of the team members always tend to be disengaged.
• Dividing tasks
• Language barriers
Working with international students, most times when working in a group with one or more international students the rest of the group tend to give international students the least amount of work stems from this notion of power dynamics tying their ability to speak english to their performance.
• Taking control claiming the work
• Valuing opinions
A discussion surrounding how your identity would be valuable to a group. What makes you standout? What makes you who you are? How would these aspects of the self play out in a group setting? Be descriptive here.

How the Heck do you Teach Level Design? Educating in the Studio
Ask anyone who has trained a new level designer or taught level design students, and they will tell you that a major challenge is balancing training for the technical aspects of the job while also teaching them "good" level design. In the studio environment, you also have to teach communication, documentation, designing for specific types of gameplay, or the elements of your studio's "style." How can we effectively mentor newcomers without taking time away from other ongoing design work?
This talk by a level designer and educator with 13+ years of experience examines processes that studios can use to onboard new designers in productive and accessible ways. It does so through topics such as setting "learning goals", assigning quick-but-usable level design exercises, incorporating "style" into task specifications, and how to structure feedback. This talk incorporates both on-the-job knowledge and examples collected from education to build a roadmap for effective mentorship.
Visual Literacy - Design Principles

Visual Usability: principles & practices for designing great web and mobile a...
These slides are from a one-day tutorial presented at the UXPA 2013 conference. The class is designed to help product teams bridge the gap between applications that look great or are highly functional.
This class provides guidelines and examples about how to make visual design decisions that reinforce usability best practices and create interfaces that people value. Participants learn the characteristics of “visually usable” apps to know what to shoot for, and get an introduction to the visual design “tools” for digital apps – layout, type, color, imagery, and controls and affordances – and how to use them to create appealing applications people can easily understand and use.

Small group communication
A brief introduction and reflection of your past experiences in groups.
My past experiences of working in small groups has been very challenging whether its working for a school project or for other social events that I have hosted in a collaboration with other student clubs outside of the school.

• Dividing tasks
• Language barriers
Working with international students, most times when working in a group with one or more international students the rest of the group tend to give international students the least amount of work stems from this notion of power dynamics tying their ability to speak english to their performance.
• Taking control claiming the work
• Valuing opinions
A discussion surrounding how your identity would be valuable to a group. What makes you standout? What makes you who you are? How would these aspects of the self play out in a group setting? Be descriptive here.

How the Heck do you Teach Level Design? Educating in the Studio
Ask anyone who has trained a new level designer or taught level design students, and they will tell you that a major challenge is balancing training for the technical aspects of the job while also teaching them "good" level design. In the studio environment, you also have to teach communication, documentation, designing for specific types of gameplay, or the elements of your studio's "style." How can we effectively mentor newcomers without taking time away from other ongoing design work?
This talk by a level designer and educator with 13+ years of experience examines processes that studios can use to onboard new designers in productive and accessible ways. It does so through topics such as setting "learning goals", assigning quick-but-usable level design exercises, incorporating "style" into task specifications, and how to structure feedback. This talk incorporates both on-the-job knowledge and examples collected from education to build a roadmap for effective mentorship.
Visual Literacy - Design Principles

yep
The document provides guidance for conducting critiques of visual artworks. It outlines four areas to focus on when critiquing a piece: description, analysis, interpretation, and judgment. Description involves objectively noting technical and formal qualities without judgment. Analysis examines how elements are organized and relate to each other. Interpretation discusses how the work makes the viewer think and feel. Judgment provides an opinion on the work's success based on stated criteria. The sample student work and self-evaluation demonstrate applying these areas of critique to a student's own project.

Simplified theory posters
Most texts presented in media position audiences to support a particular viewpoint through simple conflicts that drive the narrative. Modern audiences have difficulty distinguishing reality from simulated versions due to immersion in media. While genres repeat ideas and themes, they also evolve over time. All narratives follow a basic structure of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, and restored equilibrium. Media texts use signs and codes to direct audience understanding and interpretation. Producers encode messages while audiences decode them as dominant, negotiated, or oppositional interpretations. Advances allow audiences to no longer be passive but influential in creating meaning.
