Pose 1 features Nicki Minaj with one hand on her hip and one above her head, portraying power and femininity. Pose 2 shows a softer side profile that could draw attention to written content. Pose 3 involves leaning on a wall and looking sideways at the camera, which could mirror written content dramatically while still looking feminine.
Evaluation
My magazine reflects the hip-hop genre in several ways:
1) Through the use of colors like black, red, grey, and white that are prominent in hip-hop.
2) By featuring well-known hip-hop artists like Drake, Tupac, Nicki Minaj, and Iggy Azalea throughout the magazine.
3) In the photography, through the model's poses, expressions, and costumes that aim to portray a powerful feminine image like female rappers.
4) In the layout and design, which takes inspiration from popular hip-hop magazines like Vibe through elements like the masthead, contents listing, and double-page spreads.
Q4
The document discusses the target audience for a hip-hop magazine called BASS. The primary audience is described as ages 16-20, falling into socioeconomic groups C2 and D. Examples are provided of brands, music, and styles that would appeal to this audience. They enjoy social media, music festivals, fashion/makeup, and streaming popular hip-hop artists. Movies they may like include those featuring hip-hop artists as well as comedies and some horror and romance films. Their tastes are inspired by celebrities within the genre. Market research was conducted with a friend in the target demographic, who felt positively that the magazine effectively represented hip-hop culture.
The generic conventions of magazines contents
Magazine contents pages are designed to encourage readers to read further. They use bright colors and visually interesting layouts. Contents pages typically feature the magazine's masthead at the top and include a series of smaller images of celebrities alongside page numbers for each article. However, it is becoming more common to center a large image related to a featured article. The list of articles is grouped under standard section headings. Images on contents pages usually make direct eye contact with readers to engage them, though this page breaks that convention. Non-verbal elements communicate more to audiences than the written words alone.
Magazine competition
Billboard magazine has inspired the creator's music magazine by focusing on the pop music genre like Billboard. Billboard targets an audience aged 16-26, which aligns with the creator's target audience of 16-24 year olds. The creator will follow Billboard's conventions by using consistent black coloring throughout the magazine and plain colored front covers without distractions, to appeal to a younger audience.
The generic conventions of magazines feature article
The feature article is usually the main draw for readers of a magazine. It should prominently feature celebrities or stars to help boost sales. While the cover price brings in some money, magazines rely primarily on advertising revenue to cover costs since they need large circulation numbers to turn a profit. Feature articles typically take up double page spreads and include a mix of large prominent images along with text and smaller supplemental photos to engage readers and tell the story.
The generic conventions of magazines cover
The front covers of magazines aim to attract buyers through eye-catching design elements. They establish a consistent house style through fonts, layout, color, and logos to build brand recognition and loyalty. Covers typically feature a central high-resolution celebrity image looking directly at viewers to create engagement. Additional cover lines advertise internal articles to entice purchases. Dates, prices, and web addresses round out the nonverbal communication on magazine fronts.

Five media theoretical ideas
This document discusses five media theoretical ideas: genre theory, audience theory (cultivation theory), mediation and stereotyping, Todorov's narrative theory, and semiotics. It provides definitions and examples of each theory. Genre theory examines how texts are categorized into genres and subgenres. Cultivation theory proposes that television shapes viewers' perceptions of reality. Mediation theory explores how media constructs alternate realities through selection, organization and focus. Todorov's theory analyzes common narrative patterns in stories. Semiotics studies signs and their meanings in communication and media.
Codes and Conventions - Psychological Thriller
The document discusses conventions and codes of the psychological thriller genre. It provides definitions of psychological thriller and outlines some common themes such as reality, perception, mind, existence/purpose, obsession, and identity. It then discusses several codes and conventions used in psychological thrillers, including costume and makeup, props, running water, vast landscapes, confined spaces, and shadows. Examples are given of how each convention is used to build tension, suspense, and unease.
Understanding genre
Genre theory seeks to recognize film as both an artistic and commercial medium. It developed as an alternative to auteur theory, which viewed directors as the sole authors of films. Genres are both defined by critics and exist independently, as studios try to replicate successful film types. However, defining genres is complicated, as films can fit multiple categories and subgenres exist. The meaning and conventions of genres also depend on historical and cultural context. Overall, genre theory examines patterns of similarity and difference between films.
Horror Creating and reflecting fear
There are several types of monsters represented in horror films that reflect different cultural fears. The external monster represents an outsider threat, like vampires invading a community. The man-made monster is exemplified by Frankenstein's creation, tapping fears about unconstrained science. Most modern horrors feature the internal monster, like Norman Bates, that show evil emerging from within normal human beings. This internal monster speaks to contemporary fears about psychology and the potential for human malevolence in a less religious society.

A2 Media Studies (Evaluation) - The theory of trailers - Genre
The document discusses the theory of genres and how they apply to films. It explores different definitions of genre, problems with defining genres, and common ways films are categorized, such as by theme, format, or audience. The document suggests genres help frame audience interpretation and act as a contract between creators and viewers. Trailers and films can belong to multiple genres simultaneously and be classified based on content, form, cultural understanding, or intended target market.
Genre research
Thrillers originated from ancient epic poems that used similar narrative techniques to modern thrillers. Alfred Hitchcock directed some of the earliest thriller films in the 1920s-1930s. Popular thriller film companies include Hammer Film Productions and Warner Bros, while directors like Hitchcock, Nolan, Spielberg, and Scorsese regularly make thrillers. The genre focuses on suspense, danger, and building tension to a climactic ending, exemplified in films like The Silence of the Lambs, North By Northwest, and The Great Escape. Thrillers often use plot twists and cliffhangers, and subgenres include action, comedy, crime, horror, psychological, and spy thrillers.
Genre Theory
This document discusses genre theory and its application to defining the thriller genre. It explores different models of genre theory, from traditional views that see genres as having fixed conventions to more contemporary views that see genres as dynamic and blurring between other genres. The document uses examples like North by Northwest, The Shining, Alien, and Memento to examine how films may conform to or challenge genre conventions. It also notes some of the key texts and producers that are often associated with the thriller genre.

15 horror films
1. Horror films attempt to scare audiences through the use of conventions and techniques, but what truly creates fear is tapping into the real cultural anxieties and fears of the time period.
2. Different eras have produced different types of monsters that reflect the major fears of that society. For example, early 20th century horrors featured more external monsters like vampires that threatened communities from the outside, while modern films depict more internal monsters that arise from within, like Norman Bates in Psycho.
3. A key way horrors have remained engaging over time is by updating these monster representations and storylines to align with evolving societal fears, while still maintaining some familiar genre traits. This allows the films to scare audiences by
Genre research horror
Horror films are designed to frighten audiences and explore humanity's deepest fears through disturbing and terrifying stories. They originated in the late 19th century and were popularized by early studios like Hammer Films and directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Tobe Hooper. Well-known actors in the genre include Christopher Lee, who starred in many Hammer Film productions. Horror films aim to provoke a cathartic experience for viewers and are often recognized by awards like the Oscars or those from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films which honor elements like suspense, memorable villains, and realistic plots that could occur in real life.
Horror genre powerpoint
The document discusses how the horror genre has changed over time from the 1930s to present day. It provides a timeline of key developments in each decade, from literary adaptations in the 1930s to psychological thrillers and predictions of world chaos in the 2000s. The document also analyzes how specific films have influenced and changed the genre, such as Psycho introducing new conventions in 1960 and Scream parodying horror tropes in the late 1990s. Additionally, it notes that audiences have become desensitized over time, leading to lower age ratings for films with similar graphic content.
Genre analysis media a level
Horror films aim to elicit emotions of fear, horror and terror in viewers through plots involving death, the supernatural, or mental illness. Common story plots involve kidnapping, murder, serial killers, and psychopaths. In the past, horror films were considered lower quality and made cheaply for teenagers, though they had cathartic power. Examples of influential horror films and directors include The Texas Chain Saw Massacre directed by Tobe Hooper, Halloween for which John Carpenter did the soundtrack, and Psycho directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Frequent horror film actors include Lon Chaney, Idris Elba, and Elizabeth Olsen.
2 spectatorship, popular film and emotional response
This document provides an overview of spectatorship and emotional response in relation to horror films and genres. It introduces concepts like spectatorship, defines spectacle, and discusses why people are drawn to watch horror movies. Examples from films like Psycho, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and 28 Days Later are analyzed in terms of genre, narrative expectations, and how they elicit emotional reactions from audiences. Different horror subgenres like slasher, zombie, and supernatural films are also identified and examples provided. The document concludes with a discussion of Freudian psychoanalytic theory and its application to understanding subconscious fears and desires reflected in horror films.
Media theories
Structuralism explores how meaning is formulated within culture through systems of signs and codes. Key theorists who developed structuralist film theory include Ferdinand de Saussure, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Lacan. Roland Barthes contributed several theories to structuralism, including myth theory, the enigma code, the ball of thread theory, and the pleasure of the text theory. Vladimir Propp identified eight character types that commonly recur in narratives. Post-structuralism emerged as a critique of structuralism, rejecting the idea of inherent structures in texts. Modernism and postmodernism further rejected strict structures in favor of discontinuity and rule-breaking.

Who is the audience targetaudience pp
This document discusses different methods used to define target audiences, including demographic profiling, psychographic profiling, and lifestyle groupings. Demographic profiling divides audiences based on attributes like age, gender, socioeconomic status, etc. Psychographic profiling focuses more on individual personality, emotions, and needs. Advertisers have used systems like Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Young and Rubicam's four C's (Mainstreamers, Aspirers, Succeeders, Reformers) to segment audiences based on their motivations and goals. Defining target audiences allows media producers to tailor their messages more effectively.
Stereotypes pp
1) Stereotyping is the most common form of representation found in the media, as it provides a simplified version of reality rather than reality itself.
2) Mediation involves selecting and highlighting certain details, stories, and events to represent the world, which often results in stereotypes that exaggerate and generalize entire groups.
3) While stereotypes contain grains of truth, they offer shortcuts to meaning by condensing complex information into easily recognizable characters, but can marginalize and devalue minority groups.
Ideology bunnyfoofoo
Little Bunny Foo Foo is a children's nursery rhyme about a mischievous bunny who picks flowers and is punished by the local fairy. The rhyme describes Little Bunny Foo Foo bouncing through the forest, picking flowers, and being disciplined by the fairy for his actions. It ends with the fairy telling Little Bunny Foo Foo to never pick flowers again.
Miseenscene final
The document discusses the film techniques of mise-en-scene and lighting, which are important visual and technical codes that filmmakers use to convey meaning. It defines mise-en-scene as everything within the frame, including setting, costumes, color palette, characters and their movements. Lighting techniques like three-point lighting, high-key lighting and low-key lighting are also discussed, and how they impact the visual style and mood of a film. Examples are provided of how these techniques are used in specific films to provide information about characters and further the narrative.
Semiotics
1) Media texts are composed of signs, which can have multiple meanings depending on their denotation and connotations.
2) Signs take on dominant meanings when viewed in the context of other signs through codes. Anchorage and cropping are used to guide interpretation of signs.
3) However, signs can still be open to polysemic, or multiple, interpretations depending on a person's cultural and experiential background knowledge. Understanding how signs operate individually and together through codes is important for interpreting media texts.
Narrativestrcutureandtheory
The document discusses several traditional narrative theories and structures, including those proposed by Tzvetan Todorov, Claude Levi-Strauss, and Vladimir Propp. It also addresses challenges to linear narratives, such as open-ended or non-linear narratives, and discusses how some television shows use multi-strand narratives.
Jekyll task
Visual, technical and auditory codes were used to provoke emotional responses in viewers of an excerpt from a modern adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde. These codes included editing, lighting, sound, cinematography, mise en scene elements like costumes and props, performance, color, and special effects. By exploring these codes, viewers can identify the techniques used to cause fear, laughter, and other reactions in a short film extract.
Introto genre
The document discusses the concept of genre in media studies. It defines genre as a type or category of media products that share similar characteristics and conventions. Genres become established through repetition, allowing audiences to develop expectations. Producers then find genres useful as they can follow formulas that have proven popular while also experimenting with new variations, keeping audiences interested through a balance of familiar and unexpected elements.
Intro to representation wjec
The document discusses the concept of representation in media. It explains that representation is how media re-presents reality, which is not simply an accurate reflection but a constructed version. Representations are shaped by the decisions of media producers and technical constraints. The media provides a distorted mirror of reality rather than a transparent window. Media texts construct representations by selecting, focusing on, and mediating particular elements of reality through technical and creative choices.
How do audiences read media texts
The document discusses different theories around how audiences engage with media texts:
1) Early theories viewed audiences as passive, believing all messages without thinking critically (the "hypodermic needle" effect). This underestimated audiences' abilities.
2) Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model sees the audience as active - they make their own interpretations depending on factors like identity and opinions. Texts have no set meaning.
3) Reception theory focuses on the audience role in interpreting texts. Hall identified preferred, negotiated, and oppositional readings audiences can have.
4) Later theories see audiences as even more active, selectively engaging with media and picking aspects to incorporate into their identities (the "pick and mix"
How do audiences read media texts
The document discusses different theories around how audiences engage with media texts, ranging from passive to active models of consumption. It describes the passive "hypodermic needle" effects theory from the 1920s, which viewed audiences as empty vessels absorbing media messages. More recent theories see audiences as active, such as Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model where people make their own interpretations based on their experiences. The document also discusses reception theory and the idea that audiences play an active role in how they interpret and make meaning from media texts.
Codes[1]
Codes refer to signs like images and sounds that work together to create meaning in media. There are three main categories of codes: visual codes involving color, images, costumes; auditory codes using sound; and technical codes covering production elements like framing, lighting, editing, and effects. Visual codes include color connotations and how positioning of objects creates meaning, like with traffic lights. Auditory codes contribute to meaning through sound. Technical codes cover physical production decisions that shape the meaning of media texts.
As media studies_editing_powerpoint[1]
This document provides an overview of different types of editing techniques used in media texts. It discusses continuity editing, which is designed to make narratives flow seamlessly through the use of conventions like establishing shots and shot reverse shot. Other techniques mentioned include cross-cutting to create tension, montage to create meaning, and elliptical editing to remove unimportant time. The document also discusses terms like cuts, jump cuts, dissolves, and fades, and how the speed of editing can determine the mood. Examples are provided of editing techniques used in specific movie clips.
What Next? Media and Film Studies
The document provides information about media and film-related university courses and careers. It discusses both general media studies degrees and more specialized options like journalism, television and film production, photography, and animation. It also notes the strong job prospects and skills shortages in various media fields. The document gives recommendations for top UK universities for media and advice on gaining relevant experience through extracurricular activities, internships, and developing a portfolio.
Oldboy Screenshots
Oldboy is a hybrid genre film that incorporates elements of action, romance, comedy, horror, thriller, detective, noir and surrealism. While drawing on multiple genres, it subverts expectations typical of mainstream films. The film breaks conventions of realistic filmmaking through various experimental techniques, including long takes, minimal CGI, camera movement, color use, split screens and close-ups, which call attention to themselves and remind viewers it is constructed. These techniques reinforce themes of complex characters struggling with identity, loss, loneliness and longing.
