Q3 audience feedback
Throughout their project, the group received feedback from their target audience which helped them interpret how to portray their genre of music correctly. They collected feedback through screenings of their video and surveys to gather ideas. The audience responded positively to the mix of narrative and band performance, and the use of black and white theme. However, some shots were too dark, so the group adjusted the contrast. Posting drafts online also provided feedback that recognized influences in their work and ideas on how to improve. Receiving audience input was valuable for designing adverts and posters, which the group then refined based on constructive criticism.

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.

- 1. Assignment 8: Synoptic Research Of The Horror Genre Kelly Morales Chelsea Hopkins Gelsomina De Lucia Tayla Humphris
- 3. • The term 'horror' first comes into play with Horace Walpole's 1764 novel, The Castle of Otranto, full of supernatural shocks and mysterious melodrama. • The roots of filmed horror were an extension of a genre of literature that got it’s start in the late 1700s: Gothic Horror. • The first great horror classic (Frankenstein 1818) was written by a Romantic at the heart of the movement - Mary Shelley. • In 1896 Georges Méliès would go on to create what is considered to be the first horror film ever made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPmKaz3Quzo#t=127 • The Manor of the Devil” – with bats, castles, trolls, ghosts, and a demon – played by Georges Méliès himself, in the clip there are clear elements of gothic horror that were already known by the public.
- 4. • • • Silent Era of Horror began to become well known after the WW1. People flocked to the movies because it was the only form of entertainment that people felt they were getting their money’s worth. The audience consisted of a variety of ages starting with young teens to middle ages men and women. • House on Haunted Hill in 1959 was filmed in “Emergo” which triggered a skeleton that would fly around the theatre suspended on wires. Once kids knew this was coming they’d bring their slingshots and see who could be the one to shoot it down. •And the Tingler, also in 1959, wired up movie theatre seats with joy buzzers and encouraged the audience to scream as a way of calming down the spine monster that was let loose in the theatre. •There was audience participation which would make them feel part of the movie.
- 5. • • • • • Mainly in black and white up until the 1960s. Classic horrors contains mythical creatures which the audience of that time could understand such as Medusa. Most of the movies were silent until the late 1920s. Sci fiction was introduced where ‘monsters’ were the killers but not only from outer space. Psycho in the 1960, created a whole new level of fear as unlike the monsters of previous horror cycles, Norman Bates (Psycho) was rooted in reality – an every day human on the outside but a psychological monster in the mind.
- 6. • • • • • The purpose of the horror genre is to create fear among the audience. The genre has this purpose because it makes the audience feel apart of the movie as if they were the main character as they are sharing the same fear. The effect on the audience is that it creates fear, tension and a sense of instability as they do not know what is going to happen which adds a layer of thrill to the genre. However, some films contain conventions of multiple genres. Therefore, the purpose of the horror (subgenre) is to show different levels of fear and different types of ‘creatures’ in different forms.
