Ecuador está dividido en cuatro regiones geográficas: la Costa, la Sierra, el Oriente y la región insular. La Sierra se extiende entre las dos cadenas de la cordillera de los Andes y contiene varios volcanes altos como el Cotopaxi y el Chimborazo. Cada región tiene características climáticas y de vegetación únicas que definen diferentes tipos de áreas vegetales, incluyendo zonas de tierra nevada, tierra helada, bosques y páramos con diversas plantas y flores.
Postmodern media manipulates time and space
The document discusses how postmodern media manipulates time and space through three examples:
1) The TV show "Family Guy" uses non-linear narratives and self-reflexive humor to manipulate time and space. An episode parodies "Star Wars" by interrupting the storyline.
2) The film "Drive" uses contrasting mise-en-scene of cars and costumes to confuse the audience's sense of time period.
3) The film "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" applies video game rules like battling evil exes, defying the laws of physics and reality. Both films create ambiguous or hyperreal worlds through manipulating time and space.
Define postmodern media
Postmodern media rejects the conventions and utopian ideals of modernism. It subverts expectations through techniques like pastiche, parody, and manipulating time and narrative. Quentin Tarantino's film Inglorious Basterds exemplifies this through its nonlinear narrative, references to fairy tales, and self-aware deconstruction of genre. Similarly, Drive challenges the morality and endings of fairy tales and Family Guy parodies Star Wars in a self-reflexive way. Postmodern media is defined by its blurring of boundaries, referential style, and emphasis on constructed fiction over reality.
Apply narrative to one of your coursework productions
This document discusses the narrative elements in a music video the author created for their coursework. It analyzes how various film and narrative theories were applied to tell the story and engage the audience. Binary oppositions between indoor and outdoor scenes were used to represent the "living" and "dying" states mentioned in the song. Todorov's theory of narrative structure provided an original equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium. The mise-en-scene and costumes further developed the narrative and relationship of the artist through ideas like voyeurism and how she challenges or accepts the male gaze. Overall, the author believes the polysemic narrative kept the audience engaged and allowed different interpretations of the story.
Postmodern media breaks the rules of representation
Postmodern media often breaks conventions of representation to create simulated realities that distort or subvert expectations. This is seen in films like Drive and Inglorious Basterds, which manipulate genres and use techniques like self-reflexivity to present disjunctive worlds. Television shows also break rules, like Family Guy's Star Wars parody that acknowledges itself as constructed fiction. Lady Gaga similarly constructs a simulated persona through allusions and genre-crossing. Overall, postmodern media challenges realistic representation to develop new meanings, though these can only be understood by media-literate audiences.
Analyse genre
This document analyzes the author's A2 pop music video in relation to genre conventions. It discusses how the video conformed to pop music video conventions to appeal to its target audience of 16-24 year old females and achieve its purpose of entertainment. Key conventions included aesthetic representations of the female artist, costumes that enhanced femininity and desirability, close-ups of lip syncing, lighting techniques like backlighting to symbolize purity, editing techniques like cuts on the beat and fade outs. Adhering to these generic codes helped the audience recognize the video as a pop music video and find it entertaining and repeatable.
Discuss why some people are not convinced by the idea of postmodern media
Some audiences are not convinced by postmodern media because postmodern works deliberately distort reality, rely heavily on intertextuality and references that some viewers may not understand, and reject traditional narratives. Postmodern works like the film "Drive" and the TV shows "Flight of the Conchords" and "Family Guy" confuse and frustrate some viewers through their manipulation of elements like time, space, narrative, and their self-reflexive style over coherent plot. Likewise, Lady Gaga's stage persona and music rely heavily on references and simulations of identity that cause some to distrust her as an authentic artist. For these reasons, some find postmodern media vacuous and trapped in meaningless references rather than producing new meaningful content.
Media Representation Essay
The document discusses representation and stereotypes in media. It defines representation as how media constructs reality through selective presentation. Representations encode certain ideologies and paradigms while excluding others to shape a preferred view. Stereotypes are shortcuts used to understand media that define characters as either belonging or not belonging in a society. While stereotypes can enhance a text's realism, they also risk oversimplifying groups and misrepresenting reality. The document analyzes how various theories like the male gaze approach stereotypes and representation in media production and reception.

How do postmodern media differ from other media
Postmodern media differs from other media in that it often rejects conventions like linear narratives and time/space in favor of manipulated and fragmented forms. Postmodern works reference and subvert other genres/texts, creating deliberate distortions of reality rather than utopian visions. They also rely on audience familiarity to generate constructed fictions. The films Inglorious Basterds and Drive are given as examples, using techniques like pastiche, references to other works, challenging narrative structures, and emphasizing their own artificiality.
Media texts will never be successful unless they are carefully constructed to...
The document discusses how the author constructed a music video media text to target a specific young female audience aged 16-24. Key ways included featuring a female artist of the same age to allow audience identification, using 1950s-inspired costuming and makeup to appeal to desires of femininity and popularity, and editing techniques like black and white effects to provide escapism. Feedback from the target demographic was gathered during the planning process to ensure the text would successfully engage their interests, needs, and interpretations. The feminine style and focus on the female artist helped build audience connection to the media text.
Media audience essay
The document discusses how the author constructed a music video to target a specific audience of young females aged 16-24. Key ways this was done included featuring a female artist around the same age to build rapport, using a 1950s aesthetic to appear desirable, and incorporating themes of relationships to reflect social values of interest to the audience. The author also gained feedback from the target demographic and pitched the idea to ensure it would appeal. By carefully targeting the audience's needs and desires at each stage of construction, the music video adhered to the view that media texts must be deliberately designed for a pre-established audience to achieve success.
Analyse media language june 2012
The document discusses how media language was used to convey meanings in a music video. Camerawork such as long shots, close-ups, and angles were used to portray the artist as solitary, sexualized, and "real". Editing techniques like quick cuts emphasized drama and pacing. Lighting was manipulated through spotlights and backlighting to draw attention and suggest purity. Mise-en-scene elements like outdoor vs indoor settings, colors, props, and makeup reinforced themes of loneliness, life and death, and nonconformity to appeal to audiences.
Media language notes
The document provides details on the camera shots, editing, lighting, sound, and mise-en-scene elements used in a music video. It describes the different camera shots including mid-shot, close-up, and extreme close-up used to convey facial expressions and draw attention. Straight cuts and fade outs were used for editing. High key lighting and spot lighting were among the lighting techniques. Costumes, props, and locations were chosen to enhance the 1950s inspiration and portray different emotions.
Post production essay
The document discusses the progression of the author's post-production skills from their AS to A2 coursework. At AS, they had basic skills in Photoshop and applied simple editing techniques. By A2, they had gained experience and technical ability to produce work to a more professional standard using different software like Photoshop and Premiere Elements. They analyzed real media texts to replicate conventions and had freedom to experiment with new tools and techniques not available previously. Overall, the knowledge and skills gained at AS allowed the author to confidently achieve industry-standard quality in their A2 post-production work.
Why are some media products considered postmodern
The document discusses how some media products are considered postmodern due to their deliberate manipulation of reality through techniques like intertextuality and pastiche. It provides examples from the films Inglorious Basterds and Drive to illustrate postmodernist techniques. Inglorious Basterds uses elements from genres like westerns and detective films to challenge expectations of the war genre. Drive similarly mixes genres like crime drama and romance to distort reality and lacks contextual cues about its time period. Both films employ techniques like references to other works, unconventional narratives, and manipulated settings to create exaggerated hyper realities for audiences.
Digital technology and creativity
The student's skills in using digital technology for media production developed greatly from their foundation to advanced portfolio. In their foundation portfolio, they used Adobe Photoshop CS5 to create magazine pages and learned techniques like gradients and saturation manipulation. For their advanced portfolio, they used improved skills with Photoshop CS6 to create a hand-drawn cartoon style advert. They also learned Adobe Premiere Elements to create a music video, gaining skills like adding filters and precise cutting. Their use of online research and platforms improved their creative decision making, such as developing a brand image using social media. Overall, preliminary exercises helped them advance their skills from foundation to advanced work.

Creativity grid
This document summarizes the research and creative process undertaken to develop a retro-inspired magazine concept. It involved researching 1940s/50s pin-up stars, genre conventions from magazines of the era, and inspiration from modern artists emulating retro styles. Mood boards and music were used to set the tone. Photography and editing techniques replicated the aesthetic. A fictional artist 'Sophia Fox' was featured throughout, portrayed through photography, article profiles and a music video concept drawing on analyzed retro and modern works.
Section A; The 5 Key Areas
This document outlines the tasks for a college music magazine project and accompanying music video. For the magazine, the student researched conventions of real magazines and created a preliminary mock-up including a cover, contents page, and double page spread using Adobe Photoshop. For the music video, the student planned concepts, researched conventions, created a storyboard in iMovie, and produced the final video using Adobe Premiere Elements. Across both projects, the student applied researched conventions while adding their own creative elements.
Textual Analysis: Lana Del Rey - 'National Anthem'
The document analyzes the music video for Lana Del Rey's "National Anthem". It recognizes conventions of music videos like narrative scenes, lip syncing, and camera techniques. However, it also stretches conventions by reenacting historical events like Marilyn Monroe's performance for JFK and the assassination scene. It departs from typical solo artist videos by focusing more on historical themes than dances. The video seems aimed at a young audience but modernizes the historical context in an unconventional way.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. It uses a serif font for the coverlines to conform to 1950s conventions, while challenging modern magazines that use serif fonts consistently. The masthead challenges conventions by using two fonts and a photo overlay. For the contents page, it imitates Billboard's layout but challenges conventions by not overcrowding with photos and bold text. It develops the contents title further with a heart shape and gradient overlay. Images are resized across the top third of double pages to balance the layout and convey more context without a clear divide like photos or shapes typically used.
Evaluation Question 5
The document summarizes how the author addressed and attracted their audience for a magazine front cover and double page spread. Key elements included using a young pop artist on the cover to appeal visually, employing negative space and simplified layout to make the page less intimidating, paying homage to Marilyn Monroe to connect to knowledgeable past artist fans, incorporating American themes and imagery well recognized in pop music, and including section categories like "Music" and "Past and Present" tailored to audience interests.
Evaluation Question 4
The primary audience for the magazine would be young female adults aged 16-24 who enjoy pop music, both current and from the past. A secondary audience would be males with similar interests. The cover uses red and blue colors with a predominantly feminine design to appeal to its mainly female readership. The retro typography and photo shoot aim to relate to this target audience's tastes.
Evaluation Question 3
IPC Media would be the most appropriate distributor for the magazine because they have a diverse portfolio of magazines targeting different genres and demographics. As a large and profitable company, IPC Media could invest in a more niche magazine like PopHeart, which targets young female adults aged 16-25 with pop music content. Similar to PopHeart, IPC Media's NME magazine has a niche audience of 16-24 year olds focused on indie/pop music. IPC Media is also adapting to changes in the industry by developing magazine apps to engage digital audiences.
Question 2
This media product represents young female adults aged 16-25. The cover features a young female model biting a pink scarf, emulating Marilyn Monroe's style to appeal to those familiar with past pop music as well as current music. Bright colors and increased saturation were used to subtly appeal to the target female audience. Inside features multiple photos of the model posing in a cute, fashionable way to portray her fun and wild side and appeal to the young, fashion-interested social group. The magazine content focuses on both past and present pop music to attract readers interested in a wide range of music from different decades.

Billboard contents
This document summarizes and analyzes the layout and design elements of a double page spread from Billboard magazine featuring an interview with Katy Perry. The text is separated into three columns for readability and a provocative image of Perry in revealing clothing is featured. Pull quotes and a drop cap are used to draw the reader in and indicate changes in topics or speakers. The layout and images are designed to intrigue and engage the target audience of 16-24 year olds interested in pop music and exclusive celebrity details.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
