Media studies magazine evaluation
The magazine challenges conventions by placing cover lines on the opposite side and using larger writing underneath in smaller text. The masthead is dominating and spread across the top like NME. The main image covers the masthead and conveys the magazine's genre.
The contents page uses a rhetorical question instead of just "contents" and pictures are framed like polaroids to look authentic. A band index like NME makes the magazine look information dense.
The double page spread repeats the band's title font and uses a large main image overlapping the title. The interview uses red and black text to break up information and introduce the band.
The magazine represents younger music fans ages 14-20 interested in indie/rock

Case Study Questions
This case study examines an organization that introduced a new technology innovation. It analyzes the organization's structure and history, as well as the technical skills of individuals involved. The case study collects data from various sources on the previous situation, innovations introduced, and general outcomes. It also considers any legal, social, or ethical issues associated with the innovation, and how the new technology has affected the organization.
Python: Polymorphism
Polymorphism allows the same method name to perform different actions depending on the object type. The document discusses polymorphism in the context of playing different audio file types (e.g. MP3, WAV, OGG). It defines an AudioFile parent class with subclasses for each file type that override the play() method. This allows calling play() on any audio file object while the correct playback logic is handled polymorphically based on the file's type.
Evaluation Q4- Use of Technology
The document summarizes how various media technologies were used at different stages of a project. In the planning stage, WordPress blogs and the internet were used for research and organizing information. Microsoft Publisher was used to analyze existing products. During construction, YouTube hosted work-in-progress versions, Adobe Premiere Elements was used for video editing, and Adobe Photoshop was used for image editing. Digital cameras were used for filming but access was limited. Evaluation involved using YouTube to host interviews, PowerPoint for presentations, and Premiere Elements for editing interviews. Benefits and limitations of each technology are discussed.
Operating Systems - Memory Management
The document discusses memory management in operating systems. It describes how memory is divided into fixed or dynamic partitions to allocate space for programs. This can result in internal or external fragmentation. The memory manager uses algorithms like first-fit or best-fit to determine where to allocate new programs. It must track busy and free memory spaces using a table. When a program finishes, the memory manager updates this table to reflect the newly freed space.
What does your experiment look like?
The experiment for a dissertation should take 3-5 weeks and cannot be a large software project. Key questions to address are whether international examples of the experiment have been identified, necessary contacts have been made, written agreements obtained, and clearance received if needed. One approach is suggested.
The Use of Behavioural Economics to Encourage First-Year Completion and Reten...
This document discusses using behavioral economics to encourage first-year student completion and retention. It describes research involving 108 first-year students where certain behavioral economics techniques were tested. Three techniques that did not work to increase lab submission rates were groupwork, instructional videos, and showing an educational movie. However, increasing the number of required labs over time did seem to successfully increase submission rates, going from 76 to 91. The document concludes that behavioral economics involves harnessing herd mentality and descriptive process (DP) behaviorism to positively influence student behaviors and outcomes.

Additional stories and classmate film trailers are included to advertise other works.
Evaluation question one
The document is an evaluation of the student's media magazine cover page. It summarizes the key conventions the student followed from the magazine Kerang and how they designed their cover page. The student conducted research on Kerang's conventions for cover pages. They implemented a similar masthead, central image placement, and aggressive model depiction. However, they challenged conventions by adding multiple straplines and lowering the masthead position. The student believes their cover page is comparable to Kerang while also making it stand out for their target audience.
Evaluation quest 1 magazine cover
The document analyzes the conventions used in magazine covers and compares them to the student's own magazine cover design. It finds that the student's cover follows some conventions but also challenges some conventions. It uses large central images like other magazines but places the image off-center. It also includes more smaller images than typical. For text, it uses a similar masthead to Empire magazine but could have improved the use of color to make the main image pop more against the background.

Evaluating my magazine
The document discusses the development of a magazine cover project. It analyzes existing magazine covers to understand conventions like text size/color, picture placement, and title positioning. The created cover features a prominent central image of a girl with text arranged around her. It challenges conventions by having the girl partially overlap the magazine title for effect while still ensuring readability. Overall, the cover follows common conventions but also experiments through creative formatting of images and text.
Evaluating my poster
The student began by researching conventions of horror and comedy film posters. They noticed different genres use conventions in different ways. For their own poster, the student included standard elements like the release date and tagline linked to the psychological horror genre. However, they subverted conventions by inverting the colors of the central girl figure, making her appear inhuman and suggesting something supernatural will attack her. The streaks on the walls and the girl's vulnerable positioning imply she will die at the hands of something abnormal. The student was pleased with how the streaks stood out and contributed to the supernatural connotation, and how the old, scratched floor reinforced the run-down, lonely setting.
Evaluating my trailer
The student analyzed their film trailer project by examining how they used and challenged conventions of real film trailers. They researched conventions in genres like horror and romantic comedies. Key conventions they focused on included the use of music and lack of dialogue or voiceover. The student subverted expectations by relying solely on music to set the genre and using it to cue visual effects. They also left the main character unnamed and without backstory to emphasize psychological elements. The student felt the contrast of creepy music against mundane school setting and music cues were most successful elements that created intrigue without explicit horror imagery.

Narrative ppnt minus trailers
1. Narratives can be either open or closed. Open narratives, like soap operas, have no defined ending and multiple storylines that can continue indefinitely. Closed narratives, like films, have a defined ending and focus on a small number of central characters over a compressed timeline.
2. Vladimir Propp and Tzvetan Todorov proposed theories for analyzing narrative structure. Propp identified 7 character archetypes that recur across folktales. Todorov proposed that narratives follow a structure of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, and restoration of equilibrium.
3. Trailers use techniques like voiceovers, parallel action editing, and ambiguity to engage audiences and build anticipation for a film's narrative.
Narratology: Barthes
Barthes identified 5 codes that are used to create narratives: the action code describes the events, time, and location of the story; the semantic code involves the characters and their development; the point of view code is the perspective the story is told from; the enigma code establishes and resolves mysteries; and the referential and symbolic codes use characters, events, and objects to represent broader concepts and themes.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Evaluating my magazine
- 1. Evaluating my Magazine Q1: In what ways did your media project develop, challenge or use constructions of real media products? Cover
- 3. How I used, challenged and developed conventionsc In my magazine cover, the girl is the most prominent element. She is in the centre of the picture, and she is clearly contrasted against the pale background as she is wearing dark clothing. I followed the conventional arrangement of the text, as many of the article titles were arranged around the girl’s figure (so the titles do not overlap onto her). However I created a copy of the girl’s head and shoulders in another layer, to allow me to place that in front of the title of the magazine (‘MotionMedia Weekly’). This followed the convention of making sure the text did not overlap onto the picture, but subverted it somewhat as the girl overlapped onto the text (the other way around). The picture is positioned in the middle of the cover, and is the main focus. Text is arranged around the picture accordingly. How I used/developed/challenged it Convention
- 4. How I used, challenged and developed conventions The majority of the text follows a colour pattern of white and dark blue. However, the magazine title differentiates from this, making it stand out from the rest of the text. However, as it is still blue it doesn’t clash. Text follows a colour scheme, used both to separate text that is about different articles, and to separate different names (e.g. in the ‘Oscar Shortlist’ section on my cover) Although purely practical, these conventions are essential in the authenticity of the magazine cover. However, as they are just practical elements (and do not help sell the magazine) the barcode is small and placed in the lower corner, in a dark space that I could not fill with text. Furthermore the issue details are next to the barcode are in a small, unobtrusive font. A barcode, issue number/details are included.
