Media as evaluation 1)
The product conforms to conventions of drama/thriller genres by telling a story of obsession between a woman and man, similar to the film "Obsessed". Non-diegetic music plays from the beginning and continues throughout the scene, creating an eerie atmosphere without dialogue and emphasizing the woman's obsession, keeping audiences engaged. The product challenges genres by originally intending to be one genre but developing elements of another during the creative process.
Question 5- AS Evalssssssss
We attracted our target audience of males through the use of bloody props in our mise-en-scene that depicted graphic wounds and conveyed emotion. The lack of ambient sounds in our soundtrack meant it had to be powerful and dominant to attract males, playing on stereotypical portrayals of males as powerful killers in horror movies. Our film provided an opportunity for the audience to distract themselves from daily stresses through its disturbing and immersive visuals and audio.
Genre analysis[1] media a2
The document discusses the various purposes and types of documentaries. Documentaries can aim to document, educate audiences about famous people's lives, entertain, inform, persuade, critique or observe real life. Key documentary types discussed include fly-on-the-wall which films discreetly, fully narrated which uses voiceover, mixed which uses interviews and narration, and self-reflexive where the filmmaker addresses the camera. A docu-drama reenacts real events but can only offer a fictional interpretation.
Pitch
This documentary follows Tulsi Vagjiani, the sole survivor of Indian Airlines Flight IC605 that crashed and burned in 1990, killing all other passengers. Tulsi shares her harrowing experience of the crash and her difficult recovery process in the years that followed. Through interviews with Tulsi, the documentary aims to interest viewers aged 16-60 in stories of survival that do not often make the news but have profound impacts on victims. It takes inspiration from other documentaries that use personal interviews and imagery to portray emotional journeys of overcoming trauma and loss.

Types of Documentaries
There are 7 types of documentaries: docusoaps, reality TV, fly on the wall, mixed, self reflexive, docudrama, and fully narrated. Docusoaps follow individuals or groups over time in an observational style. Reality TV progressed in the late 20th century and mixes authentic material with entertainment. Fly on the wall documentaries film events without subjects' awareness. Mixed documentaries combine interviews, footage, and narration to advance the narrative.
Question 1
Our film opening, titled "Hallowed Ground", aims to fit within the genre of psychological horror through following several conventions of the genre. We chose an unusual but creepy font for the title similar to films like Insidious. The credits are overlapped with the opening scene, another convention seen in films such as Insidious and Paranormal Activity. The antagonist is portrayed as a female killer with potential psychological problems driving her actions, emulating films with troubled female protagonists like The Ring. Rather than focusing on graphic violence, the film aims to achieve psychological scares without extensive blood and gore that could detract from the sophisticated audience the film seeks.
Types of documentaries research
This document discusses different types of documentaries: fully narrated documentaries which use voiceovers to guide viewers; fly on the wall documentaries which use little commentary to give an observational view; self-reflexive documentaries where filmmakers talk directly to viewers; docu-dramas which reenact real events through dramatization; and docu-soaps which follow groups of people in an observational style. Each type has strengths and weaknesses in how they inform or engage audiences.

Documentary Pitch
The students will produce a documentary titled "Missing: A Search for Matthew Evans" about a missing teenage boy. They will use influences from other documentaries on missing persons like Claudia Lawrence in terms of structure, camerawork, and music. The documentary will have a varied target audience of teenagers, parents, and those aged 20-60. It will use various locations, realistic costumes and makeup, and natural lighting to make the story believable.
Question 2
The document summarizes how two main social groups - teenage girls and those with mental illness - are represented in a thriller media product. For the teenage girl victim, she is portrayed stereotypically as generic to serve as a victim for the story. The protagonist Chloe has a mental illness of schizophrenia but her violent actions are a result of abuse and neglect at a corrupt asylum, aiming to avoid portraying all mentally ill people negatively. Chloe is dressed in a long white nightgown and made pale to look sickly and neglected from years of hospitalization.
Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers aimed their film at a mature, mostly male audience by setting it in the 1950s with elements of film noir like murder and camera techniques common to the genre. While teenagers may not fully appreciate the movie, it does not include graphic violence and can be viewed by all ages. The film asks viewers to see from the perspective of the protagonist, a detective seeking revenge, and uses point-of-view shots and camera angles to make viewers feel claustrophobic or anticipate what will happen. Filmmakers conducted research and incorporated what audiences said they wanted to see, like conventions of the noir genre and suspense techniques.
Shot list
The document outlines 12 shots to be filmed at a crime scene, including establishing shots of the exterior and interior of the house, tracking shots showing a bloody teddy bear, letter, and trail of blood, various camera angles of a bathroom containing a child covered in blood, and close-ups of a distressed woman speaking to the police.
Pitch
This documentary follows Tulsi Vagjiani, the sole survivor of Indian Airlines Flight IC605 that crashed and burned in 1990, killing all other passengers including her family. Tulsi shares her emotional story of the crash and the aftermath, including enduring burns over 60% of her body. The target audience is ages 16-60, as survivor stories can be distressing but also relatable. Tulsi is now a Pilates instructor and massage therapist, having overcome her physical and emotional scars from the tragic crash. The documentary is inspired by other films profiling survivors and their personal experiences.
Question 5
The document discusses techniques used in a film to attract and engage the audience. It describes using tense music to hook the audience emotionally, slow motion during a build up to a murder scene to prolong suspense, and low camera angles to delay revealing a body but build authority of a character. It also discusses using props, audio of gunshots but not images, and black and white filming to imply danger without showing it. Transitions and delays in revealing characters and shots were used to keep the audience guessing about the story and maintain attention and unpredictability.
Distribution
The document discusses which media institutions might distribute a psychological thriller film. It analyzes the distributors of similar films like Inception, Side Effects, and Black Swan. Inception was primarily distributed by Warner Bros theatrically and on DVD. Side Effects had various distributors for different countries, including Entertainment One and Universal Studios for DVD in the UK. Black Swan was solely distributed by Fox Searchlight. Based on this analysis, the author concludes their psychological thriller would likely be distributed by Entertainment One, as they are not as large as Warner Bros. but still successfully distribute to key markets like the US, Canada, and UK.
Evaluation Activity 5
The document summarizes similarities between the film opening and two other films, The Women in Black and The Conjuring. Both the film opening and The Women in Black feature a protagonist fighting an unknown force. The film opening and The Conjuring both focus mainly on religion, with characters taking comfort or protection from scripture. The document also discusses how the film opening addressed its target audience by using a young female protagonist that would be easy to relate to, and attracted its audience by incorporating typical horror film elements while adding an intriguing religious twist to the storyline.
Evaluation 5
The document discusses how Alice Richardson addressed her target audience for a film project. She targeted those interested in thriller and horror genres since the film included violence and blood. Close-ups of the main character Lucy and shots showing her isolated state aimed to appeal to women by making them feel sympathetic. Audience feedback indicated that jump cuts used to make the narrative disorienting were effective, as were point-of-view shots that put viewers in the scene. However, more creative transitions could have been used for flashbacks beyond simple fades to black and white.
Reflexive documentaries
Reflexive documentaries focus on realism by not hiding the filmmaking process and addressing the techniques used. This allows viewers to understand how production affects content and develop a critical perspective. For example, Dziga Vertov's 1929 film Man with a Movie Camera filmed the crew to help audiences understand the construction of film.
Modern examples include the MTV show Catfish, where about half the show focuses on the producers tracking down people in online relationships. Louie Theroux's documentaries also employ reflexive techniques through remaining impartial and providing context about interviewees and conditions to extend the intended realism.
The Documentary Genre
The document defines documentaries as creative works that use factual information and reality to make socially critical arguments. Documentaries are not just about presenting facts but constructing meaning from them. They can use techniques like actual footage, reconstructions, narration, and input from participants to tell a story and invite audiences to draw their own conclusions.

This is a set of comprehension questions related to the use of a documentary to convey refugee & asylum seekers pressing issues on "Go back to where you came from".
Question 5
The document discusses how the video attracts and addresses its audience through various elements of suspense. It uses:
1) Mention of drugs to pique interest in a taboo topic.
2) A character in despair without context to make viewers question what happened.
3) An eerie score and stings that build an unsettling atmosphere and suspense.
4) A slowly revealed dead body with open eyes, leaving the cause of death unknown.
5) A motif with a character's hoodie to hint at a plot twist, engaging viewers in piecing together the narrative. These suspenseful techniques aim to captivate the target 15+ audience with a thriller format.
"Go back to where you came from" Student essay
The documentary series "Go Back To Where You Came From" aimed to build empathy for refugees by allowing audiences to understand the risks and dangers refugees face on their journey to safety. It followed participants experiencing the lives of refugees firsthand and interviewed refugees about their experiences. This gave insight into why refugees flee their home countries and undertake dangerous boat journeys, risking their lives to seek asylum. While some participants changed their views on refugees after learning their stories and hardships, others did not. By experiencing the realities refugees face through this documentary, audiences could gain more understanding and empathy for why refugees feel they have no choice but to seek asylum in countries like Australia.
Audience responses
The document provides recommendations to improve an evaluation. It suggests keeping the title sequence short while providing hints about the time of day. It also recommends clarifying how long the opening sequence is based on number of days. To emphasize the genre, it proposes making death scenes more intense by showing shadows to build tension and focus on violence. It also advises gradually increasing the volume of voices the main character hears and providing backstory on her mental illness.

Evaluation - Question 1
The document discusses the production of a documentary comparing the football stadiums Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge. It uses an expository mode to present facts about the stadiums' history and prices. Interviews with season ticket holders at each stadium were conducted to provide subjective fan perspectives. Typical documentary conventions like voiceovers, music, and credits were included to make the documentary feel realistic and informative yet entertaining.
Practice documentary
The documentary explores Lynda Berger's new book "Demons and Thieves" through interviews with Berger, three students who read the book, and the teacher who taught the book. It also shows pictures students drew related to the book and what inspired Berger's characters. Through making the practice documentary, the filmmakers learned to speak more clearly and loudly during interviews for better audio quality. They also learned the value of using two cameras to get different angles and shots during interviews. When editing, they will use iMovie to import footage and add music and effects to create smooth transitions between clips.

More recently, some argue documentaries have become more creative in their storytelling and less focused solely on facts.

Lo1 part b
This summary analyzes a document discussing the importance of truth in news reporting and documentaries. It states that truth is the foundation for news stories and is important so that audiences receive factual information. However, news outlets can manipulate stories by leaving out details to influence audience reactions. Similarly, documentaries are meant to portray truth but often reconstruct events or prioritize certain perspectives, affecting the accuracy of the overall story presented. Editing techniques can also alter truths, such as only showing partial speeches or merging clips to change meanings. Representations of participants are sometimes positively skewed to make unusual subjects seem more relatable. Bias and lack of balancing all perspectives are issues that can compromise truths.

- 3. My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding was produced using the expository mode, effectively this mode generally uses voiceovers, and presents information to the audience. Interviews occur with generally subjective accounts revealing, not personal information which would be evident in reflexive documentaries but instead memories are explored and opinions about upcoming events. This documentary can also be produced in the observational style as it looks and follows Gypsies lives throughout whilst also exposing what they do.
- 4. The interviews throughout the documentaries look at people’s memories, they also offer a personal thought throughout. The interviews that take place change locations, they do not remain in the same place at all time. The audience effect of this is that the interviews portray their feelings which can emotionally attach an audience to that person or event.
- 5. Channel 4 is home to a variety of different documentaries, the most notable are “Supersize vs Superskinny”, “Wild Things”, “24 hours in A & E”. The majority of Channel 4 documentaries look at current realistic events that are taking place, and the challenges with life and events. Most of Channel 4’s documentaries use the expository mode because it gives off an emotional reaction to the audience. This is something I will be bearing in mind for my documentary when I look to use the expository mode of documentary.
