J.R.R. Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892 to English parents. When he was young, his family moved to England due to his father's passing. Tolkien excelled in languages and mythology in school. He fought in World War I and many of his friends died. After the war, he had an academic career focused on languages and taught at the University of Oxford for many years. It was there that he began developing his legendarium of Middle-earth and wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, which became enormously popular classics of fantasy literature. Tolkien spent much of his later life expanding the stories and languages of Middle-earth.
The document discusses how J.R.R. Tolkien's experience in World War I influenced his later work, particularly The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Oscar Gibb evaluates his production process for an audio documentary about Market Weighton. His research strengths included exploring different documentary and audio play formats which informed his project layout. However, he did not allocate enough time to in-depth subject research. His planning was inconsistent due to changing his idea late, making his initial plans and script unusable. While he completed his work on time, additional time would have allowed for improvements to research, planning, and production quality.
The document summarizes the research Oscar Gibb conducted on existing audio documentary products to inform the development of their own audio documentary project. It discusses four existing products that were analyzed: 1) James Veitch's comedy audio show which helped understand how to keep listeners engaged through constant sound; 2) a documentary on Brexit which showed how to appeal to older audiences; 3) Louis Theroux documentaries which provided insights into interview structure and tension-building; and 4) Ross Kemp documentaries that use intense music to create tension. The research found that incorporating constant background sound, full interviews, and tension-building music could help make the project appealing to younger audiences while informing the questions and tone. Aspects from the first, third,
Oscar Gibb is developing an audio documentary project based on Market Weighton, a small town in England. His initial idea was to interview "odd" people in the town, but after revising his mood board, he decided to make it a more serious radio show documentary about issues in the entire town. The mood board influenced his project by helping him narrow his focus and decide what research and questions were needed. Key influences on his project include the Joe Rogan podcast for allowing different opinions to be shared, A Christmas Carol for having a storyline of personal growth, and a Conor McGregor documentary for its behind-the-scenes perspective and story alignment.
This document outlines key influences on Oscar Gibb's planned documentary project. It will take the form of a "fake documentary" interviewing "odd" people in the town of Market Weighton. The mood board provides inspiration, focusing the project on issues in the town. Key influences include the Joe Rogan podcast for interviewing a variety of subjects, A Christmas Carol for the character's storyline of changing views, and a Conor McGregor documentary for showing intriguing behind-the-scenes details. The final product will ask questions on local topics to elicit interesting responses and contrasting viewpoints from different demographics.

The document outlines the pre-production steps for an audio documentary project. It will focus on "odd" people in society like train spotters and give insight into their lives. The target audience is older generations who listen to radio and audio. Pre-production tasks include determining sound effects, drafting a script and interview questions. Resources needed are a phone, car, home appliances and locations like an empty house. Contingency plans address issues like uninteresting interviews or technical problems. A production schedule allocates days for recording, editing and finishing the project.

Key aspects to be included are constant background sound to engage younger audiences, incorporating full interviews, and using sound design to build tension. However, the concept has now changed to a documentary focused on Market Weighton due to difficulties securing interviews
This proposal outlines a student's audio documentary project about the town of Market Weighton. The student will create a multi-episode documentary series allowing rural residents to share their experiences and perspectives. Skills gained from previous projects, like refined audio editing, will be applied. Originally conceived as a regular documentary, the concept changed to focus more on interviews than a script. The project will be evaluated through self-assessment, peer review, and input from tutors on the editing quality. Tasks over the coming weeks include further research, planning, recording interviews and sounds, editing the audio together, and a final evaluation.
This proposal outlines Oscar Fred Gibb's audio documentary project. The project will document strange individuals in the town of Market Weighton, including train spotters and adult football players. Gibb will interview both real people and fictional characters to tell a story about a presenter who changes his views after making the documentary. Over 9 weeks, Gibb will research subjects, conduct interviews, record sound, edit audio, and evaluate the final product. The goal is to create a higher quality audio project using skills developed in previous work.
This document outlines the initial plans and key influences for Oscar Gibb's pre-proposal project. It will be a fake documentary interviewing "odd" people in the small town of Market Weighton to showcase a presenter's journey and change in perspective. The mood board and influences, including the podcast of Joe Rogan, the story of A Christmas Carol, and a documentary on Conor McGregor, will help shape the project to be entertaining while addressing issues like bullying and helping listeners understand different interests. Interviews will explore topics like trainspotting and amateur football to demonstrate how meeting different people can influence attitudes.
Oscar Gibb is proposing an audio project titled "An insight into Weighton's minds". The project will be a fake documentary interviewing eccentric individuals in the town of Market Weighton such as train spotters. The narrator will begin with prejudices against such people but will change his views after learning their perspectives. Gibb will research the town and individuals to develop thoughtful interview questions. He will critically evaluate his work on storytelling effectiveness and editing quality while also highlighting strengths. References like the Joe Rogan podcast and A Christmas Carol will influence the project's exploration of overcoming biases through exposure to different lives.

The document discusses research Oscar Gibb conducted on existing audio products to inform their own audio documentary project. They analyzed comedic interview show "Contractual Obligation" to understand how to keep listeners engaged without pauses. They also examined a formal Brexit documentary to learn how to appeal to older audiences. Louis Theroux and Ross Kemp documentaries were researched to understand interview styles and using sound effects to build tension. Gibb plans to incorporate constant background sound, full interviews, and building tension with sound in their own production to appeal to younger audiences. Audience research on the BBC Sounds platform will also help tailor the project.
Oscar Fred Gibb proposes an audio documentary project about strange individuals in the town of Market Weighton. He will interview people with unusual hobbies like train spotters and Sunday football players. The documentary will give insight into why these people pursue their interests. Gibb will also interview fake people to advance a story about a presenter who alters his views after making the documentary. Over nine weeks, Gibb will research subjects, conduct interviews, record sound, edit audio, and evaluate his final product. He believes his improved skills from past projects will allow him to create a better audio documentary.
Oscar Gibb is creating an initial pre-proposal and mood board for a documentary project. The mood board contains images related to "odd" people that will be interviewed in the small town of Market Weighton. These interviews will help develop the storyline of a presenter's journey creating a fake documentary. The mood board is meant to inspire an entertaining documentary that gives insight into different people's interests. Key influences on the project include the style of Joe Rogan's podcast in interviewing a wide range of guests, the story of A Scrooge Christmas Carol in how the main character changes his views, and a documentary on Conor McGregor in how it portrayed his lifestyle and training.
Oscar Gibb evaluated his magazine design project. His research involved studying sport magazines like Match of the Day and Four Four Two to help design a magazine that would appeal to both male and female audiences. For planning, Oscar drew on his experience creating a similar magazine project previously. His time management improved from past projects as he caught up after being ill. Oscar aimed to create a magazine with a more formal style than Match of the Day to appeal to older kids, combining elements of Match of the Day and Four Four Two. He used new Photoshop tools to improve the aesthetic qualities and felt it effectively targeted his intended teenage audience.
The document describes the process used to create elements for the front cover and a double page spread of a magazine. For the front cover, the creator used blending tools to eliminate lines around an image and designed a badge in Photoshop. For the double page spread, the creator developed the spread as a single large image in Photoshop using guidelines and text boxes to guide text around images. Hexagons in the magazine's color scheme were placed and duplicated at 50% opacity to form the background.
The document provides an evaluation of the student's game design project. It summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of the student's research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aural qualities, aesthetic qualities, and audience appeal for the project. The research focused on combat games like Street Fighter and UFC, with consistent research across 4 games. Planning was efficient but basic, restricting creativity. Time management was average but fell behind due to illness. The technical qualities like smoothness could be improved. There was basic audio but no sound effects. The aesthetics looked good due to Photoshop skills but kicks could be smoother. The combat game concept appeals to its teenage target audience.
The document provides details for the pre-production of a football club magazine. It discusses using green and yellow colors to match the team's kits and choosing a blue text color to provide contrast from a potentially bright background. Potential issues and solutions are outlined, such as taking photos ahead of time if images are lacking and saving work frequently to avoid losing files. Health and safety concerns like eye strain, electrocution, and posture are also addressed.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.
2. Story
• York’s saddest ghost must be Marmaduke Buckle. He was
multiply physically handicapped, a condition that in the
17th century, when he was alive, allegedly led to him being
accused of witchcraft. He spent most of his life in the house
on Goodramgate which is now the La Piazza restaurant,
until one day he could take no more.
• Marmaduke carved his initials, birth date (1697) and that
day’s date (1715) on a beam, and ended his short tragic life
by hanging himself from the beam. His ghost is alleged to
still roam round both buildings, and his presence has even
been accused of trying to push somebody down the stairs
in the pub next door, although more usually he is said to
close doors and turns lights on and off.
3. Existing Products Research
• Lore -
- In this audio show is produced as a documentary with one male narrator
who speaks with calmness which allows the listener to focus on his voice
and pay more attention to what he’s saying unlike a song which a lot of
people don’t pay attention to the actual words as such and uses breaks for
dramatic effect as it helps build or fade tension. It has a background sound
of a calm piano playing as it allows listener to relax and pay more
attention to his words and the way it emphasises intense moments is by
speeding the piano sound up or pausing it all together.
4. Existing Products Research
• Doctor who
- The vocals of the actors have an echo theme around them which
emphasises to the listener a large maybe quiet place. When one of the side
characters starts yelling the echoing becomes more apparent and overlaps
the original vocals. When the doctor explains to the woman/thing what he is
the backing music intensifies as it infers a sense of pride for the listeners as
he explains who he is to what is the villain.
5. Existing Products Research
• The archers
This is a storyline radio show about a small country village which has been
running for over 65 years and about the people who occupy it as the noises of
objects used help create the sense as you may hear a metal fence creaking
open and close and the sounds of the house doors shutting are rather heavy
and loud which may infer an old built house which more a less are in small
country towns.

8. Idea Generation/Initial Reaction
• The theme may be a more older scene so the background noises could give links to the
industrial revolution so maybe a mechanical factory in the background so the noises for
that could be heavy weights crashing together and and the noise for the wind could be a
fan put rather close to the mic to create the noise of a heavy wind.
• A documentary/podcast theme as one person narrates the entire story and as the story is
from the 17th century so I may create the noises of a horse trotting across cobbled stone
and this could be created by multiple planks of wood bashed against stone from a distance
to create the echoing effect.
• The story may talk about a woman's death so to create the noise of a woman being hung I
could tighten rope around a plank of wood and then hang a weigh on it and drop it but
place the mic nearer to the wood and rope so you can hear the rope swing and the wood
creak.
My initial reaction to this project was that it is not my most passionate theme ( ghosts etc.)
but it can also allow me to explore with different ways to produce audio and dip into a
different style of theme and different ways to create the sense of fear, tension etc. I first
thought this was going to be fairly difficult as I have never done anything like this in the past,
and haven't been interested in audio production before.
9. Proposal
Working Title:
The roaming wraith of York's ghouls
Audience:
My audience will be aimed at the older area so adults or the older teenage years as it will allow me to not
sugar coat certain plot details and allows the fear and tension to be more serious it isn't a gender dominated
concept as it is more a less what the audience are interested in and that is a horror themed fearsome plot,
there is problems that I may face which may include that it will be played on radio 4 etc. and they have a
much older audience as it isn’t popular with young adults/old teenagers and so todays youth do not listen to
radio etc. but would rather watch a horror film etc. as this may link to social their psychographic as many
teenagers may be an emulator and think they wouldn't’t be “cool” if they were ”caught” listening to a story
by their mates. The product is aimed at belonger type teenagers who are accepting to knew methods etc.,
socially conscious type 1 teenagers as they are also driven and mature and would be most likely listen to a
horror themed story and finally totally integrated teens as they’re socially conscious but are usually
socialising with a mixed group so hey will provide a good way of spreading the audio to other friends and
friends of friends
10. Proposal
Project concept:
The concept of my radio story is that in the 17th century after the great fire of London a
disabled father, who is hated by his son, hangs himself, he discovers his fathers corpse
and then she haunts him twice during his life, its only twice but he is still paranoid for his
entire life as this infers what an experience it was for him.
This will be the story told so the research that was done for this was brushing through
the 17th century and so I had to find a tragic event that occurred during that as it was
between the great fire of London or the English civil war but it needed to provide a story
line which didn’t have the entire country already in fear and allow the story to have 1
person in the entire country who is haunted and terrified for his entire life to help create
that sense that when the consumer may be alone they will be afraid as this creates and
spreads the radio story as impacting and powerful. It is one of many stories which may
be told as it is the 17th story told as it will begin by talking about is previous stories told as
there is one story for each century and the person narrating the story will infer that he is
an established author working with a brand and the brand telling the story would be
COMPELLING TENSION and the beginning it will tease the next story so I researched the
18th century and what happened in that and so it will be about an occurrence during the
French revolution
11. Script
Narrator: Hi, im Andrew Burg writer of such novels like The Bird and Peak and
Trampolicon, I am co working with COMPELLING TENSION to bring you their 18th
edition to this on going series of Supernature, and this The Roaming Wraith Of York's
Ghouls
Its 1715, the Turks have recently just fought the Russians, the first shipment of coffee
reaches Amsterdam and witchcraft is in its prime of tyranny which wasn't exactly a
good thing especially for one man, Marmaduke Buckle, who was multiply physically
handicapped a condition that was frowned upon due to belief that it was a form of
witchcraft and due to this hatred he was receiving throughout his life he decides to
hang his short horrible life in the building that he obtained which would later on
become the La Piazza restaurant.
But … it wasnt all bad for mister Buckle as in the after life hed become the wraith that
roams york for the next 300 years
He now spends his time haunting the Snickleway Inn, turning off its lights and has
been accused of pushing a poor soul down the stairs who know is multiply
handicapped, ironic I think not.
12. Script

17. Daily Reflection Day 1
The first thing I did was brainstorm and generate a script
which was in the style of podcast so I had to research the
period of which the ghost story took place (18th century) so
I took to Wikipedia and researched what happened in the
early 1700s e.g. 1715 so the Russians had just fought the
Turks and coffee was introduced so I though I may add
these 2 contrasting points at the beginning to give the
sense to the reader what life was like with wars still going
on but an indulgence which is still loved today was
introduced. I had to also create the title of my podcast so I
created a title using 2 powerful words that sum up the story
“Compelling” and “Tension”. I then began to consider what
to add such as the sound effects so I started considering
every sound effect possible and there was too much that
you wouldn't hear me telling the story so I had to remove
some and add a musical piece for the background which
cuts off at points of tension, the music I added was a piece
of 18th century classical music to add to theme that it’s a
true story from the 1700s.
18. Daily Reflection Day 2
The next day I created my podcast theme so I had
created the part where he hangs himself with rope
pulled tight around some wood to create the sound
of the rope tightening as he hangs then I produced
the podcast which involved just me saying the script
in a calm voice which was taken from the sample we
were given “lore” as they speak in a calming voice as
this allows the listener to concentrate on what's
being said and not lose concentration coz the
podcaster is speaking too quick or is too loud. Then I
began producing the other sound effects I could do
in college so I flicked the lights switch on and off
again as that's part of the story. I had to get multiple
other sound effects of the internet like the music.
During all this I learned how to make sound and
video to fade in and out which is a new and helpful
skill I may use throughout other topics.
20. Research
• My research was very strong as I researched a lot more
than just the story as I added contextual knowledge learnt
from the internet although I had to use Wikipedia so the
knowledge may not be exactly true it is well processed and
thought through. I also researched existing products so I
focussed on the example of a podcast that I was given
called “lore” as it showed me that you don’t need to speak
loudly to build tension or be interesting. I then looked at an
audio clip from an old doctor who episode which gave me
an insight into sound effects and how to make things
understandable for the audience so they know what
exactly has happened etc. I could've improved it by
listening to more than just one podcast to understand and
mix different styles of podcast to create the ultimate mix of
exciting and loud but quiet and tension filled podcasts
21. Planning
• The first thing I had to do when planning my audio story was generate my
idea for the storyline which is built on my research etc. my idea did change
slightly due to it going off topic too much as I wanted to focus on his life
before being a ghost so I decided to ditch the idea and write a more
noticeable script which focuses on him being a ghost. My initial reaction to
my change in script is that it was more of a ghost story and not a story
about a suicide. My title hadn't changed due to it being vague enough to
link to a lot of stories although my audience was very open as it is in the
form of a podcast so it is aimed at a much older generation as the youth
would rather just watch a horror film. Due to the change in the script my
concept had slightly changed as I wanted to aim for a teenage audience
but due to it being a podcast I had realised hadn’t much teens listen to
them and rather watch videos etc. and that a much older audience was
more obvious.
22. Time Management
• I didn't manage my time well as I did a lot of my production in one day due
to helping others etc. so it could have been longer and less rushed so my
products would have worked better with additional time as I feel like I
could've made some m ore sound effects myself than getting them off the
internet like a withes laugh and a crowd booing. I believe my editing was
also done quite quickly and I feel like the editing of some sound effects
could've be done smoother as some may cut quite suddenly so I learnt
how to fade out very late in the editing process and had no time to go
back and fade out the rest of the audio. Also if there was more additional
time I could've made my outro better and not as rushed as it is quite short
and not as informative as I would've liked and I would've also made my
screen which is shown all the way through relate to more of a ghost story
as it looks like just a regular podcast screen
23. Technical Qualities
• My technical qualities are much basic compared to the samples given
to us as mine is quite sharp and isn't as smooth flowing as I would've
liked due to my lack of knowledge and growth as a student. My work
isn't complicated enough for my liking as my imagination wasn’t
ranged enough for this project. Some similarities between my project
and the sample of a podcast that was given is the audio/narrator as it
is quite a claiming storyteller and is naturally not loud and I also took
the idea of removing the backing noises to create tension when
something scary or serious like when he is talking about the disabled
man hanging himself. I did in fact use a Foley technique as to create
the sound of him hanging himself I bought some rope and tightened it
around some wood to make the sound of him hanging as his weight
pulls on the rope. To record the sound of my audio play I used my
phone with an attachable microphone which had a muffler on it
(which I allowed others to borrow) which helped make my podcast
sound much more professional.
24. Aural Qualities
• My sound does work as it is very quiet which adds to the tension and
makes it quite a serious podcast. My sounds weakness is that some
sound effects aren't faded in or out so they start and end quite
sharply and quickly so it sounds quite amateur an if given additional
time I would've gone back and faded out all my sound effects to help
give it a smoother finish although I wouldn't fade out the music in the
back when I say “so he hung himself” as when it stops suddenly it
creates tension and gives the sense of surprise. My audio was quite
creative as I used a Foley technique to make some of the sounds and
it all the way through it follows the style of a podcast story. I would
improve my aural qualities by maybe retaking my outro so it isn't as
rushed and I could link maybe another podcast in to make it even
more professional like. The strengths to my podcast is hat mic quality
is actually surprisingly ok for a plug-in and the muffler adds to the
sound effect of a professionally podcast the reason this is a strength is
that it is made for a radio station so it needs to be professional and
plus no one wants to listen to poor quality and unprofessional
podcast.
25. Audience Appeal
• I think since it is a podcast it wouldn't be consumed by a teenager as
podcast and radio is consumed by the older generation so this is why I
made a calm sounding interesting tense podcast as if I made a loud
youth sounding podcast it wouldn't interest the audience that are
more likely to listen to it. The fact it is an older story would interest
the chosen audience as they are more likely to be interested in older
classical products than futuristic aliens etc. It would also interest the
older generation as it set out quite formal and is about York’s history
and is quite informative as to where the story occurred so the older
generation of York can enjoy and maybe go to the restaurant where
he used to live. The reasons it appeals to the older generation which
is more likely the audience is that is quite an interesting and serious
podcast and isn't presented as a sci-fi story but a true ghost story
which is in a time period which interests the older audience and not
the young. It is suitable for the older generation as well as it talks
about a disabled man killing himself which isn't suitable for a youth
audience.
