The document compares the characters in a student's film opening to those in the movie "Attack the Block". Both sets of characters are depicted as wearing hoodies and tracksuits to suggest they are around 17-18 years old. This clothing was chosen to stereotypically portray the characters as "bad" through their attire. Their dark clothing is meant to pose a danger and match what antagonists tend to wear to clearly identify them as not good to the audience. The body structures and facial expressions of the characters in the student's film are intended to make them look quite dominant and intimidating, bringing fear to victims in a way that generates sympathy from the audience, similar to a character in "Attack the Block".

India McGuirk is cast to play both Amber roles. Annamaria Noto and Bridget Cardenas Pazmino will play the two friends. Their ages, availability and costume needs are also listed.
Question 2
The document discusses the representation of characters in a film opening. Each character's clothing and appearance establishes their social class and role to the audience. Some characters fulfill stereotypes about their race or gender, while others break stereotypes, such as using female characters to conduct torture instead of only male characters. The bosses are portrayed as superior through their body language and positioning looking down on tortured characters. Different characters represent different social classes through costume, behavior, and how they are framed in shots.
Ferris bueller's day off - Representation
The document analyzes representations of different characters and social groups in Ferris Bueller's Day Off through shots and editing. It discusses how the opening shot establishes the setting and normalcy. It then examines how Ferris is initially shown as vulnerable but his representation changes to mischievous. The parents are portrayed as naive and gullible. The sister is shown as stubborn through a medium close-up exploiting her facial expressions and body language. Finally, Ferris is depicted as manipulative for convincing his parents he is sick to get his way, potentially representing all male teens unfairly.
21 jump street - Representation
The document analyzes shots from a film opening sequence to understand representations of social groups in secondary school. It finds that the protagonist is shown as lonely and isolated compared to others on the school bus. Later shots depict him attempting to interact with others but being ignored, showing the social group as brutal and his lack of confidence. When he asks a popular girl to prom, her reaction contrasts with his social status and shows the clash between groups. Further shots reinforce the power and judgmental nature of certain social groups, leaving the protagonist emotionally impacted at the end.
Mean girls narrative structure analysis
The document analyzes several shots from a film to understand the characters and narrative. The first shot introduces four main protagonists and shows them acting normally, establishing an initial equilibrium. Subsequent shots reveal important details about individual characters - one confident female character is likely a "hero" or "villain", while a group seems less assured. Shots of two opposing female characters, one popular and one lonely, use binary opposition to illustrate their roles. Overall, the analysis indicates that a unhappy main character, Lindsay Lohan, will disrupt the equilibrium as the "hero" seeking change.

Question 2 l metjon and fatima
The document discusses how characters in media are represented and their social roles. Characters' clothing and appearance automatically communicate their social class and role to the audience.

A character's role in the story further communicates how they are represented; in one example, a victim tied to a chair looks vulnerable while an intimidating boss paces around asking questions to show their power and control over the situation. Character stereotypes are also fulfilled, such as black male hitmen dressing in dark colors and committing violence to
Question 1 evaluation
The document discusses conventions of comedy films and how the media product challenges or develops those conventions. Some key conventions included are bright locations filmed during the day, schools and homes as common settings, natural camera work and medium shots, funny dialogue and edited sounds, socially awkward or idiotic characters, and exaggerated acting. The media product sets most of its scenes in a house and high school to follow conventions. However, it uses social realism as its subgenre rather than the typical romance subgenre of comedies. It presents credits in a creative way within the film and uses a simple title rather than hinting at the plot.
Question 2 by George Plumbe

The presentation concludes that these were the only two social groups represented due to limited resources for the thriller film.

Genre convention
Adventure stories typically involve the protagonist going on a journey or quest and facing dangers and obstacles along the way. Common elements include exotic settings in remote or mysterious locations, encounters with strange creatures and people, dangerous tasks that must be completed, and treasure or knowledge that is pursued. The protagonist often learns something about themselves and may undergo personal growth through facing challenges and overcoming obstacles during their adventure.
Equipment list
This equipment list includes items needed for a film production such as a Canon camera, tripod, microphone, script, storyboard, actors, costumes, and theatrical make-up.
Notes sheet for unseen exam clips (1)
This document provides guidance on analyzing the technical elements of mise-en-scene in a film clip, including the set/location, costumes, colors, props, lighting, and performance of stars. Specifically, it examines a clip set in a run-down inner city flat, with characters wearing dirty and tatty clothing that suggests low income, and uses muted colors and natural lighting to reflect the life and mental state of the main character who is depicted using drugs.
Narrative theory
Narrative theory analyzes how media texts communicate meaning about events through stories. It can be applied to films, television, photographs, and magazines. Vladimir Propp identified character archetypes that commonly appear in stories, including villains, heroes, donors, helpers, princesses, fathers, dispatchers, and false heroes. Tzvetan Todorov suggested most narratives follow a structure of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium by an outside force, and resolution or return to equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified five codes that help readers make sense of narratives: the action code, referential code, semantic code, enigma code, and symbolic code.
Genre theory
Genre theory aims to classify films into groups based on common characteristics. While genres were traditionally viewed as fixed forms, contemporary theory sees both their forms and functions as dynamic and constantly negotiated and changing to reflect societal shifts. Film theorist Altman argues genres are progressive and always changing, as audiences have grown tired of formulas, needing more variety for entertainment.
Costumes, actors, props
The costumes include a black jeans and jumper outfit for the girl to show she is not fussed with her appearance, jeans and slippers with a dressing gown for the mum to portray her as homely, and all black clothes for the man to keep his identity hidden as he chases the girl in darkness. The girl actor is chosen for her maturity and acting talent. The mum actor is the real mother to convey their argument convincingly. The man actor is the girl's brother to have a connection with her and ability to play a murderer seriously. Props include a rucksack, torch, bag of coins, and newspaper.
Media thriller genre

Media preliminary task evaluation
The document summarizes the results of a preliminary media task evaluation. It notes that some things went well, including that the script did not need changing, the actors knew their lines and completed all shots in one or two takes.

It summarizes the costume, hair, makeup and casting choices for 5 characters that will appear in the sequence. The characters include two businesspeople, a security guard, an average person, and a mysterious stranger.

Killer presentation
This document analyzes how film posters convey genre and ideology in horror films. It examines posters for the films "Smiley" and "Friday the 13th" focusing on the portrayal of the killer (protagonist). Key elements analyzed include colors, costumes, typography, setting, and whether they create mystery, excitement, or convey the slasher horror genre.

Who would be the audience for your media
The document discusses targeting a middle-class audience for a media product. It describes establishing shots of a middle-class house to set the scene. Character details are kept vague to allow a wide range of the audience to relate to the wife character. Mysterious elements are added to the brother character, like a black hoodie hiding his face, to intrigue the audience and reveal his importance later.

For the student character, it aimed to avoid stereotypes of laziness by depicting an intelligent hard worker.

The agent character was created to be mysterious rather than mimicking James Bond through limited dialogue and partial facial reveals.
Poster analysis: American Psycho
The poster depicts Patrick Bateman looking away awkwardly, with only shadows visible on his deformed face, suggesting his monstrous nature. He wears a clean suit, juxtaposing his professional appearance with his savage personality. Most striking is the strange reflection of his alien-like face in the knife, which intrigues viewers and makes them question what is happening without revealing the plot. The poster hints at key elements like Bateman's cunning duplicity without fully disclosing the psychological horror thriller's events.
Final evaluation
Breaking Point is a crime drama that uses stereotypical conventions of the genre. It features black youths involved in illegal activities like assault and gun possession. The film aims to attract young black audiences by portraying characters they can relate to. It freezes frames to introduce characters and their personalities. The film's dark tone, illegal props, and actors' appearances further develop crime genre conventions.

Photographs

A photo of Pete thinking was chosen to imply trouble for his character. Photos of a pregnant character smiling and unhappy were tried to portray her positively against stereotypes.

Evaluation 2
The review and poster for the short film provide information to audiences in different ways. The poster uses mysterious polaroid images and fingerprints to intrigue viewers and imply themes of crime, mystery and deception. The review gives more detail, summarizing the plot and exploring themes of isolation, identity and reality vs appearance. Both aim to attract audiences and communicate the film's message, though the poster is more ambiguous and the review more directly informative.

Costumes
- 1. Joey Pinder Costumes Character 1: Hacker – My main character will be wearing all black, dark clothes. This is because I feel this colour providesan area of mystery and secrecy to the character. He will be dealing with many problemsand emotionsthat he keeps to himself and himself only. The colour black also will help the audience understand that the character is quite lonely and isolated from the crowd as he lacks self-confidence and it is said that the colour black can give an ‘unapproachable’ look to someone. Character 2: B.A.D Corp Employee – This character will need to be wearing formal attire e.g. a suit. This is because I would like this character to come across as a serious and important person with a large responsibility.B.A.D Corp is a fictional business that I have created as being an evil company that my main character is trying to defeat so, other detailssuch as a business name card to indicate that he is a part of B.A.D Corp would be useful to help the audience understand his role. Character 3: Hacker’s Friend – This character will come across as a stereotypical college student and his costume would be basic and unformal. I think that trainers, jeans, and a plain hoodie would suit best and would be relatable to my target audience.
