The document discusses the Foo Fighters music video for "The Pretender" and analyzes its camera work, editing, mise-en-scene, and use of narrative. Camera work includes close ups, cross fades, and slow motion shots. Editing pace increases with the song tempo and builds to a confrontation with police. Mise-en-scene features clear lighting and a simple but spacious performance area. The video has little narrative and uses facial expressions to convey anger rather than a story about police.
Props and locations
The document discusses props and locations needed for a music video. Props include microphones, an amp, drum kit, electric guitar, heels, shot glasses, a disco light ball, spray paint, black sheet, and lashes. Locations include the drama hall for its lighting, a brick wall for graffiti scenes, an alleyway to depict an urban setting, and a garage that could be used for a party scene. The video has a concept of different scenes happening quickly across an upbeat urban area.

The document discusses potential filming locations for an opening sequence involving flashbacks. It will primarily be shot at a train station, but will also require locations for two flashback scenes - the interior of a house and a shot of a hand grabbing a bottle from a pavement. Three train stations are considered as options, with Leicester station selected for its isolated area. Two houses and the document writer's school are also considered for the argument scene, with the school selected for its long, confined corridor.

What makes a successful film trailer
Sound, camera work, actors, and plot are important elements of successful film trailers. Sound represents the genre through diegetic effects and non-diegetic music. Different camera shots are used to emphasize aspects of the film and create impact. Including famous actors in trailers helps audiences recognize quality and generates interest. Mystery and intrigue are effective ways to showcase plot through quick cuts between scenes and minimal dialogue.
Film opening sequence analysis report sheet (2)
This analysis summarizes the opening sequence of the film "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" in several paragraphs. It describes the use of aerial shots to show the grandeur of the Dwarven kingdom and close-up shots of an important sword. Panning shots provide views of the Dwarven town of Erebor and establish the peaceful early morning setting. The opening has a mixed color scheme and flashes back to the past. It is an action/adventure genre as it follows Bilbo Baggins' journey. Various editing techniques like backlighting are used to make settings like the Elven kingdom feel realistic. The title credits are designed to look old-fashioned to match the time period of the story.

Evaluation q1
The document discusses various conventions used in media products and how the student's music video develops some of those conventions. It specifically focuses on the convention of including the artist in the narrative. The student decided to develop this convention to show a more personal connection between the artist and the audience. Scenes in the narrative and performance portions of the music video feature the artist to portray him as an ordinary person in relationships. This aims to connect better with the target audience.
Assignment 1
A good music video has a strong concept that is creative and fits the song without being generic. It features good acting to make the video believable and uses camera work that doesn't distract from the video. A good music video also appeals to the target demographic without being too explicit or boring. In contrast, a bad music video lacks variety in camera shots, has editing that doesn't match the song's pace, films in an unfitting setting, uses a disliked song, or features an artist who doesn't know the lyrics.
Assignment 2
The document discusses several music videos and the techniques they use. It analyzes a rap music video that uses fights and dark settings to relate to violent lyrics. It also discusses a Future song where masks are used to reference the title and connote violence. Additionally, it examines a Charlie Puth video that uses close-ups and low lighting to highlight the deep meaning and focus on a girl in the background. Finally, it summarizes a motivational BMX video that shows the journey of a rider recovering from an injury through slow cuts and reactions.
Assignment 3
The document discusses the conventions of narrative music videos, including placing two characters in parallel cities to show their different lives, using close-ups and reaction shots to convey emotions and feelings through exchanged text messages. It notes how bright, calm colors are often used to portray the music video in a positive light. The document also explains that Eminem chose a narrative video for his song to help others struggling with drink and drugs, and needed a way to connect with his audience and show it's okay to seek help. It describes how Eminem raps as the character Stan in the video, with the actions matching the song lyrics, and his blonde hair shown throughout when Stan is reading letters.
Assignment 4
Lil Uzi Vert's "XO Tour Life" music video features an animated version of the rapper driving and smoking, symbolizing his constant struggle with life, drugs, and contemplating suicide as referenced in the song's lyrics. ASAP Rocky's "L$D" video was edited to resemble the visual effects of being on the hallucinogenic drug LSD, allowing viewers to experience what the artist felt during a trip to Japan, with vibrant colors emphasizing the strange and memorable experience. Conceptual videos often relate to an idea or emotion rather than a narrative, using symbolic imagery to create a mood, as seen in these two examples analyzing drug use and altered mental states.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
