Question 5
The document discusses how a student film addressed conventions of teen dramas to attract their teenage audience. They chose a catchy production company name "Crystal Myth" that referenced drug use. They also had a character post the film name on Facebook to appeal to teenagers' use of social media. The film title "Isn't that illegal?" referenced illegal activities often seen in teen dramas like drug use and underage sex. Scenes were crafted to subtly portray a character's feelings for another through props and clothing choices in mise-en-scene details. Matching diegetic and non-diegetic sounds as well as font choices were used to make transitions between characters and introduce actors smoothly.
Pitch proposal
This pitch proposes a short coming-of-age film about a girl who struggles to make friends and creates an imaginary friend, Tulpa, to help. The film will blend live action and animation similarly to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Tulpa encourages the girl to meet potential friends, including ones that are overly loud, snobby, or distracted, but the final friend is similar to the girl and they enjoy shared interests. Filming locations include the girl's bedroom, a restaurant, beach, and park. Shooting styles like close-ups and camera movements will be used, along with lighting to convey emotions.

Question 5: Evaluation
The document discusses how a film targeted a 16-25 year old audience. It did this by having a main character and actress who were both 17 years old, so the audience could relate to her. It also used normal, everyday locations like a cafe that the target demographic would visit regularly. The cliffhanger scene of the main character being locked in a freezer by her stalker encapsulated common fears to draw in the audience. Overall, the film aimed to attract its target youth audience by using relatable elements they could connect with in the characters and situations.
Question 5: Evaluation
The document discusses how a film targeted a 16-25 demographic by featuring a main character and actress of the same age. Locations like a café were used because they are familiar places the target audience frequents. The cliffhanger opening shows the character stealing money and being locked in a freezer, intriguing audiences about whether she is victim or villain. Overall, the narrative is accessible to the target demographic despite being less complex than films aimed at adults.
Treatment
The document discusses the development of an opening sequence for a film about gang violence and revenge in London. It describes how the sequence will begin with scenes introducing four main characters. It then shows three girls having a sleepover that is interrupted when one of the girls, Shannon, is kidnapped after answering the door. She is dragged outside and put in the trunk of a car by two disguised men as the credits begin to roll. The document discusses how the group collaborated to develop this sequence, drawing from different ideas and making changes to create suspense and engage the audience. It aims to portray realistic locations and use conventions like lighting, music and sounds to set the thriller tone.
Media questions
This document contains an essay response from Clarissa Shulungu discussing their opening film sequence and characters. The key characters are a little girl presented with a demonic toy and a mysterious man of unknown identity. The little girl represents innocence corrupted by evil influences, shown through close-ups and changes in behavior. The mysterious man embodies mystery and evil for providing the toy. The characters are compared to those in the film "The Possession" for similar portrayals of possession. The intended audience is ages 15 and older, targeting females for their ability to relate to challenges faced by young girls. Elements like mystery, suspenseful music, and unnatural occurrences align with audience expectations of the thriller genre.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses the construction of realism in a thriller film opening. It describes including a young white boy as the protagonist to subvert expectations and make the audience feel more vulnerable. Flashbacks of the boy stealing a box are used to imply guilt and unease. Shaky camera shots from the antagonist's perspective make the audience feel like they are chasing the boy. Minimal dialogue, ominous music, and the antagonist's dark clothing versus the boy's bright backpack enhance realism. The setting of an alleyway plays on crime associations to immediately create fear in the audience.

Media Studies - Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses the creative choices made in developing a psychological thriller film about a Brownie troop. It focuses on the binary opposites represented by the main characters - the old female Brownie Leader versus the young, vulnerable girls. The film challenges conventions by having a female rather than male antagonist. It also challenges stereotypes by portraying the Leader as cunning and manipulative, rather than women being weak. Costuming and filming techniques were used to convey the girls' innocence and vulnerability, making the threat against them more disturbing. The isolated forest setting was chosen to reflect how danger can be hidden, even in familiar places.
Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers aimed to attract their target horror film audience through the use of plot twists, strong female leads, and unconventional elements. They conducted audience research to learn what viewers found cliche or wanted to see more of. This informed decisions like including two independent female protagonists. Low-key lighting, realistic costumes, and a dark wooded setting were used to create an immersive and unsettling atmosphere for viewers.
Evaluation question 5
Our primary audience would be teenagers aged 15-18, who can relate to the main character. A secondary audience would be teenage boys going through similar issues as the vulnerable male protagonist. Another secondary audience would be fans of drama genres who appreciate verisimilitude and lesser known films. While the themes are universal, the film's small scale and British rural setting would likely resonate more strongly with a British audience.

Representing different ethnicities could make the film feel more relatable to diverse cultures.

Media q2
The document discusses the goals and inspirations behind a student film project. The film aimed to tell a modern fairy tale with a moral message, drawing inspiration from Cinderella but with an unexpected tragic ending. It was intended for teenage audiences to provide knowledge about common teenage experiences and satisfy curiosity. The filmmakers aimed to appeal to outsider teenagers and send a message about being true to oneself. Ancillary materials like the poster and radio trailer were designed to intrigue audiences without revealing too much of the plot. Comparisons were made to other fairy tales and Richard Dyer's Utopian theory of entertainment was considered in targeting the film to teenagers.

Importance of audience
The document discusses research conducted to identify the target audience for a horror film opening. It was found that the target audience would be 16-21 year old females.

The effectiveness of the opening was then tested on two people from the target audience - a 17 year old female and 21 year old female. Both found it scary and mysterious and wanted to see more, though one felt using a female lead may have been more effective.

My pitch michelle dunbar
Michelle Dunbar proposes two short film ideas in her pitch document. For her first idea, titled "Opposites", she describes the plot involving an introverted girl named Maddie who meets an extroverted girl named Megan. Their 6-minute film would follow the girls as opposites attract. Her second idea, titled "Knocking", involves two friends hearing mysterious knocking at a house at night. Both films target 16-18 year old audiences and would be distributed online.
Initial film idea 2
Two best friends have a sleepover at home alone. They hear knocking at the door but find no one there when they check. After hearing more knocks, they wait by the door and it suddenly swings open by itself, causing the friends to scream in fear. The film will feature only two female leads with limited dialogue and no music to create tension through amplified sounds. It will be filmed entirely inside a house at night with the characters in pajamas.
Initial film idea 1
This film idea involves two teenage girls - an extroverted girl and an introverted girl. They meet at a park, where the extroverted girl tries to convince the introverted girl to have more fun. She suggests they steal a car to show how to really have fun. The introverted girl, being easily manipulated, agrees. However, after breaking into the car, the owner catches them and they have to run away, taking something from the car to remember what they've done. They stop running down the road, hug, and the screen goes black. The film will have two female leads portrayed by specific actresses. There will be no voiceovers or background music used. Scenes will be filmed at a park and

That evening, Megan's idea of fun is breaking into a car to steal CDs. When the homeowners turn on the outside light, Maddie and Megan flee in a panic. Though scared by the experience, Maddie laughs with Megan afterwards, and they embrace, suggesting their new friendship will continue despite the risky start.
Treatment hand out
This document provides details for a short film project titled "NO". It includes a synopsis that follows a character named Freddie who repeatedly asks a girl named Charlotte on a date despite her rejections, making her uncomfortable.

My pitch michelle dunbar

For "Opposites", the 6-minute film follows an introverted girl named Maddie and extroverted girl named Megan who meet by chance and influence each other to step outside their comfort zones. For "Knocking", the 5-6 minute mysterious film follows friends Jess and Sabrina who hear unexplained knocking at Jess' house one night and investigate. Both films target 16-18 year old audiences and would be distributed online.
