English 102 September 15, 2022 Defining My Audience For my first essay in English 102, I have been asked to define my target audience. The essay will discuss the benefits of reading classic literature and how it can enhance one's life. While this topic could appeal to a wide range of readers, I think my ideal audience would be college freshmen and sophomores. Students just starting their college careers are at a pivotal moment where they are beginning to explore new ideas and areas of study outside of their previous coursework. Exposure to classic novels, plays, and poems can help broaden their perspectives and teach valuable life lessons in an engaging way. Many students may be intimidated by "classic lit" or think

a2 Types of documentries
Self-reflexive documentaries follow people around with their knowledge that they are being filmed, and the subjects may stop to speak to the camera. Docudramas feature dramatized reenactments of real events. Fly on the wall documentaries involve an unobtrusive camera crew and commonly include interviews of the subjects. Docusoaps film people in a particular job or location over time and can be impacted by subjects changing behavior due to being filmed. Fully narrated documentaries use voiceovers to provide context and explanation for visuals, often seen in nature documentaries. Mixed documentaries combine different documentary techniques like interviews and archival footage.

Young children are at risk of strangulation from drawstrings on hoods and neck openings of upper outerwear. Drawstrings can catch on objects and choke a child if the string snags around their neck. The Consumer Product Safety Commission prohibits drawstrings on children's clothing sizes 2T to months and recommends alternatives like snaps, Velcro, buttons, or elastic to secure hoods instead of drawstrings.

Screen shots of each shot
This document provides descriptions of camera shots used in a film sequence. It describes various shot types including establishing shots, close-ups, medium shots, wide angles, point-of-view shots, and over-the-shoulder shots.

Goldeneye analysis
Goldeneye is a 1995 James Bond film directed by Albert J Broccoli. The film begins with iconic studio logos and Bond theme music. In the opening scene, Bond is seen jumping from the Hoover Dam while attached to a rope. He then meets with a Russian soldier in a bathroom. Bond later meets with Sean Bean's character and they sneak into an explosive storage facility occupied by armed Russian soldiers. A chase ensues where Bond pursues the enemies on a motorbike and manages to board their escaping plane before it explodes, allowing him to safely fly away as the title credits roll while listing the film's cast and crew.
Research
Continuity editing is the predominant style of editing in film and television. It aims to establish logical coherence between shots and smooth over discontinuities in editing. Shot/reverse shot shows one character looking at another, either on or off screen, and then shows the other character looking back. Match on action cuts between shots that continue the same action, creating a visual bridge that draws attention away from editing issues. Crossing the line refers to an imaginary line in a scene that, if crossed, changes the viewer's perspective and causes disorientation.

Problems, issues and successes
The filming had some initial problems including poor lighting at night, shaky camera shots, and issues filming scenes inside a slow moving car that required speeding up footage and adding artificial sound effects. However, the production was able to overcome many of these challenges through solutions like a camera mount, improved lighting and acting for reshoots. One pan shot in particular turned out well during editing.

Problems, issues and successes
The filming had some initial problems. When filming at night, they only had a small torch for lighting, making shots dark. Some shots from the camera were wobbly. When filming in a car, it had to be slowed down during playback to make the dialogue audible, making the shot look crude. On reshoots, the lighting and acting were improved.

What have i learnt from my preliminary task
This document summarizes what the author learned from creating a preliminary media production task. They enjoyed the entire process, from planning to editing. They learned that media productions require more in-depth work focusing on key elements, compared to previous projects. Continuity was important to consider across multiple shoots. The author improved their skills using video editing software, like adding effects and animating titles. They effectively incorporated stylistic choices like camera angles, lighting, costumes, and sound design to represent genre conventions and characterize different roles.
Sound design
The document discusses the sound design choices made for a film production. It describes using realistic diegetic sounds like doors squeaking and rain along with some non-diegetic sounds like a car and axe for a kill scene. Dark, sinister music called "Personal Demons" was used to represent the antagonist, as well as a "Water Drip Torture" sound whenever he was present. Additionally, calmer "Retro City" dubstep music represented the main characters and was played in contrast to the sinister music during scenes with the antagonist.

Script
Malcolm brutally attacks his son Jake with an axe in an empty house. Later, friends Richie, Sven, Gus, and Tommie discover the abandoned house while looking for a place to stay for the night.

It likely contains information about scouting and selecting filming locations as well as logistics for shooting on location rather than a studio. Key details covered may include proposed locations, transportation and permits required, and budget and scheduling considerations for the outdoor production.
Age certificate
