The second opening would also begin with a childhood flashback, showing the protagonist's parents arguing while he punches a wall in anger. It would then also transition to the protagonist as an adult preparing for a run before training as a boxer. Both openings would use similar shots of the protagonist getting ready and beginning his run and training.

Representation refers to how media texts portray gender, age, ethnicity, social issues, and events to audiences. Through construction, mediation, selection, and anchorage, media shapes understanding but also relies on stereotypes and ideology. Stereotypes generalize groups through basic characteristics while ideology reflects the beliefs of media producers that can influence representation.
Narrative refers to how a story is constructed and relayed to an audience through a media text. There are various codes that make up a narrative including the hermeneutic code which avoids revealing all the facts to create mystery, the enigma code which builds tension and leaves the audience guessing, and the semantic and symbolic codes which suggest additional meanings and symbolism. Famous theorist Roland Barthes identified five main codes that shape narrative: the hermeneutic code, the enigma code, the semantic code, the symbolic code, and the cultural code, which references the audience's cultural knowledge.
The document discusses genre in media. Genre refers to the style or category of art, music, or literature. Consumers use genre to choose what media to consume, while producers create media for specific audiences by understanding and including genre codes and conventions. For example, a TV crime drama genre will feature police characters, crime scenes, suspects, victims and violence, along with tense, dramatic music. Genres also contain subgenres that further define the media text. Steve Neale's theory is that genres contain repetition of conventions but also elements of difference, as difference is essential to the genre's economy. A film must match genre conventions to be identified in that genre but also subvert conventions enough to seem unique.

The document discusses why the short film would be classified as a drama genre. It notes that as a drama tells a story through dialogue and action, and the teddy bear's film would do so by telling the story of two different social class families coming together from its point of view. It further defines drama as a narrative fiction genre intended to be more serious in tone, focusing on realistic character development and emotional struggles. The document argues it is a drama because it lacks aspects of other genres, tells a story through a character's conflict, and aims to provoke emotion through relationships and its realization at the end.
The document discusses ideas for a short film, including having a simple storyline about two families coming together that creates a heartwarming resolution, incorporating the teddy bear's perspective through camera work, and using job leaflets to efficiently establish challenges while reducing filming time. Concerns are raised that including a full job center scene could overcomplicate the simple story, and working with children may present difficulties.
Rick Altman was born in 1945 in Louisiana and is a professor at the University of Iowa Department of Cinema and Comparative Literature. He proposed a theory that film genres work through both a semantic approach focusing on how media elements like characters, music, and setting are presented, and a syntactic approach examining the underlying narrative structure and relationships between characters and settings. He later expanded his theory to also consider the pragmatic aspect of how real-world institutions and audiences impact genres.

After completing a preliminary school magazine and full music magazine, the student learned several new Photoshop skills. For the preliminary task, the student had to create a school magazine but had limited creative freedom. For the full magazine, the student chose their own music genre and learned how to use tools like the eraser, add fonts, and resize and rotate images. Comparing the two projects, the student improved their text to image ratio and gained experience using various Photoshop tools.
Bauer Media Group is a large European media company with over 600 magazines, 400 digital products, and 50 radio and TV stations across 17 countries. It has a workforce of 11,000 employees. IPSO regulates over 1500 magazines and 1100 websites in the UK, handling complaints and providing guidance on editorial standards. IPC Media sells around 350 million copies per year across print and digital, owning magazines like Country Life, NME, and Wallpaper, with a global print audience of over 120 million and 120 million digital visitors monthly. The document discusses these three potential media distributors and concludes that IPC would be the best choice since their wide audience of over 120 million could help get a new magazine in front of many potential readers.
The magazine represents four social groups - age, race, ethnicity, and gender. All the models are under 18 to focus on music from the 70s-90s. The models are all white, as the creator's mother confirmed schools in the 80s had only 2-3 races represented. There are three ethnic groups represented though they cannot be identified. The front cover model and double page spread model are both white British. There is one male model among predominantly female models, challenging stereotypes by showing the male with long hair.
This document summarizes how the student's media product both develops and challenges conventions of real media products like NME magazine. The student's magazine uses a similar color scheme as NME but adds additional colors to make it stand out. Some layout elements like the artist name placement are similar, while others like the title placement differ. The student priced their magazine higher than NME was 8 years ago due to including free extras like posters and music sheets. They challenged the convention of featuring mostly middle-aged men on the cover by using a teenage female to better appeal to their target audience.

1. Different Shots used in TV
Action Shot: a method of capturing an object in action and displaying it in a single image
with multiple sequential appearances of the object, e.g. car crash- as soon as the car is about
to crash is cuts to a different angle but still shows us the car crashing.
Cut Aways: camera cuts to something different, e.g. death- when someone is about to get
killed, no one wants to see them actually die, so they will still play a noise of a gun shot or
the noise when someone gets stabbed but they will quickly change the shot to something to
do with death, like a blood splatter or a picture of a famous dead person. Sex- sex is rarely
shown on TV and when it is, it’s never shown properly so they might show the couple kissing
and fade out to a fire and then cut back to the couple after and sometimes they cut it to
something that represents sex, e.g. a train entering a tunnel.
Cross Cuts: between shots, e.g. a person being somewhere they shouldn’t be, door opens
(are they about to get caught?), person comes through the door and the other one has
vanished.
Jump Cut: same scene just cutting it to miss out time, e.g. a family sat waiting in a hospital
room and the camera just jumps to them in a different position but still in the hospital room.
Match Cuts: cuts from one to another using something from one scene, e.g. Greased
Lightening, Forest Gump when he is closing his eyes and it switches to him doing it as a
child.
Fade in/fade out- fade to black and then fade back in to the shot.
Dissolve- one shot to another, represent to pass time, dissolve between same shot or
dissolve out of one shot to show another, e.g. Wild Child when she’s in the car on the way to
school.
Smash Cuts- going from something intense to calm or calm to intense, someone waking up
from a nightmare.
Invisible cut- gives impression of a single take.
2. L-Cut= audio translation: links two scenes together with sound. Takes a sound from the first
shot and carries it on in the second one, e.g. a kettle on a stove whistling in the first shot
changed to a football coach blowing a whistle.
J-Cut= hear what’s going on before you see what’s going on, e.g. people speaking but the
camera is pointing at the ceiling and then slowly points to them and they are still speaking.
