This document outlines a pitch for a short film exploring youth culture and the intersection with drugs. The genres will be thriller, drama, and social realism. The film focuses on a 17-year-old boy, George, whose daily routine revolves around sleep, drugs, and alcohol, taking a mental toll on him. Camera work and editing will convey a sense of paranoia. The target audience is 15-25 year olds from middle-class backgrounds to show a raw portrayal of modern youth culture and stereotypes. The narrative purposefully does not follow Todorov's theory of returning to equilibrium.
Youth culture represents the norms, values, and practices shared among adolescents. Within youth culture, there are many subcultures defined by different shared behaviors. Films often negatively portray teenagers as unintelligent and inferior to adults based on the hypodermic needle theory of communication. To appeal to both youth and adult audiences, the short film will aim to avoid completely negative stereotypes about youth culture by considering camera angles, sound, and editing.
This document provides a summary of a proposed short film pitch in three genres: thriller, drama, and social realism. It establishes conventions like vulgar language, violence, and the use of a hero/villain dynamic. The narrative will explore the establishment of these characters and use techniques like voiceovers, props, and mise-en-scene. The film aims to both challenge and conform to stereotypes about youth culture. Specifically stereotypes that portray youth as "Violent! Asbos! Hoodies!" and "thieving, knife-carrying troublemakers." Short films like "1150" that use continuous camera movement will inspire the style. The target audience for this niche film is 15-25 year olds
The document summarizes three short films and analyzes what genre elements were used in each to convey the intended genre.
For the film "Six Shooter": Sound is used to convey drama, such as when a character is told his wife has died. Mise-en-scene with a gun also conveys drama. There is a lot of drama throughout the film with unexpected events, though it does not follow a typical drama structure.
For the film "The Most Beautiful Thing": Sound and editing are used to convey drama, such as sad music and montage. The story and character emotions match a typical drama structure with ups and downs culminating in a happy ending.
For the film "Peekers

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
2. Research
Within my research I analysed multiple short films. This gave me a great
understanding that they are defined by their length and that there is no
precise criteria or characteristics that apply to all short films. However we
can identify some codes and conventions of short productions.
3. Characters
In my research I found that typically short films do not have many
characters. Perhaps it would be 2-4 characters, this is because of the length
of the features being around 5-10 minutes. There it is important to portray
each characters storyline in a space of a few minutes.
I believe that short films don’t always follow Vladmir Propp’s theory which
classifies them in 7 broad character functions. E.g. hero, villain, donor etc.
4. Budget
The budget is often low when directors produce a short film, due to a lack
of funding they receive. However this does not affect the creative aspects
of short films and this is why a lot of short films are good, they create very
interesting productions at a low cost.
5. Creativity
Many short films are artistic, not all of them but a lot of them are. Directors
of these productions incorporate many aspects that do this.
Camera techniques are typically a big aspect of this as in the short
“unleaded” they used many different camera techniques which created a
tense atmosphere and sometimes tricked the viewer.
Editing is the same, post production is where a short comes together and
the editor can input different features into the film.
6. Storyline
Typically the storyline is simple so the audience can grasp the plot in the
short amount of time. However in some shorts they create very complex
storylines but this is usually in the art aspect of short films.
When I say simple storylines I often compare it to Todorovs theory and this
is usually the case, from equilibrium at the outset to a disruption and then
a return to the equilibrium by the end. But like I said it’s not always the
case.
7. Conclusion
In conclusion due to my research have gathered a great understanding of
short films code and conventions. Hopefully I can put my own twist on
these when creating my short film whilst still following them to create a
true short film.
