Horror films provide some female role models and allow for more varied portrayals of gender than other forms of media.

This document discusses the conventions of psychological thriller films and how the author's film challenges some of those conventions. Psychological thrillers typically feature a masked villain who murders multiple people for revenge or other motives.

The film aims to challenge expectations by presenting a storyline that may be less appealing to audiences accustomed to the typical psychological thriller format.

A Level Media Question 1 'Evaluation Question 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Critical Creative Reflection Task 2
Evaluating my recent A Level Media opening sequence.
'How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social issues'
Evaluation Question 2
This document analyzes how social groups are represented in a media product. It summarizes that the main character is a 17-year-old male portrayed as a typical teenage boy. It represents teenagers as irrational, reckless, and potentially violent, conforming to stereotypes. It also represents males as more violent and aggressive than females, with the male character committing murder. Females are represented as weak and vulnerable, with a female being killed. The document notes the target audience is around the same age as the characters, allowing them to relate to aspects like clothing and stress.
Question 2
This document represents how different social groups are portrayed in a media product. Young adult women, specifically a news reporter who becomes a victim, are initially represented through stereotypes of always being victims and less vocal than men. However, this is challenged by portraying the woman as an educated, vocal character who gives a news report with strong posture while the man has bad posture and is silent. Young male criminals, like the stalker in the film, are shown reinforcing stereotypes of men preying on women through multiple female murders. But stereotypes of young men always being jokesters and of stalkers typically being older are challenged by portraying the isolated stalker as a young adult wearing tracksuits to add an unexpected element.
Media evaluation
The document provides an analysis of a media product created by the author. It discusses how the product both adheres to and challenges conventions of thriller movies. It conforms to conventions like using guns, dark clothes, and fast-paced music. However, it challenges conventions by casting younger actors than typical for thriller movies. The document also discusses how the product represents teenagers in London through language, clothing, and behavior. It would be distributed by a major British company familiar with the thriller genre, like Paramount or Warner Bros UK, and target audiences over 13 interested in thrillers.
Media Coursework Evaluation Pp
The document provides a media coursework evaluation by Sam Nellist analyzing their horror film media product. Some key ways the product challenges conventions include being set during the day rather than night and featuring a female villain rather than a typical male villain. The target audience is generally ages 15-50 who enjoy the horror genre. To attract the audience, the film reveals little information and relates to ordinary viewers through realistic actors and catalysts of violence, action, and scare factors. Over the course of production, the creator learned to use editing software like Pinnacle Studio 10 more advanced and improve camera skills.
Who would be the audience for your media product
The document discusses the target audience for a horror film called "Th3 Numb3r5 5ay 1t a11". The intended audience is 15-24 year olds, as they are most likely to watch horror films. It aims to appeal to both male and female viewers in this age range. Specifically, the film includes a young female protagonist to increase identification for the target audience. It also incorporates elements like mysterious villains and dark settings to appeal to interests of the target demographic, such as Gothic subcultures. The audience is primarily urban, middle-class youth. Focus groups of the target age range provided positive feedback, suggesting the film will appeal to its intended viewers.
Evaluation Question #2
This document discusses how different social groups are represented in a media product through characters. It describes the costumes and appearances of 5 characters: Tom Wilson, a misunderstood teenager dressed in a hoodie; Tom's brother Miles, dressed similarly but with additions to make him seem more aggressive; detectives dressed in trench coats with a modern twist removing hats and magnifying glasses; forensic scientists in white onesies and masks mirroring professionals; and how the focus was on using costumes and characterization to represent these groups to the target audience.
2)
This document discusses how the media product represents various social groups:
1) The target audience is ages 20-40 as younger audiences may find the complex storyline confusing while older viewers will appreciate the depth.
2) The main characters (Tom and Ed) are represented as working class (bands D and E) as they make up most of society and are linked to crime, though the main character is upper-middle class (bands B/A) to challenge expectations.
3) Various elements like costumes, age, gender, accent, and movement are discussed in regards to how they represent different social classes and groups in ways that both conform to and challenge conventions. The goal is to balance realism and relat
Media evaluation
The document provides an analysis of a media product that was created as part of an assignment. It discusses how the product both adheres to and challenges conventions of the thriller genre. It uses appropriate elements like guns, dark clothing, and fast-paced music. However, it subverts expectations by casting younger actors than typically seen. The document also examines how the product represents teenagers in London through language, clothing, and behavior. It suggests the product would be distributed by a major British company like Paramount or Warner Bros. due to its genre and target audience of those over 13 interested in thrillers.
Evaluation Question Two
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its characters. It focuses on age, gender, social class, and ethnicity. For age, most actors are teenagers or young adults to subvert expectations. Females outnumber males and are portrayed as innocent through white clothing. Social class is represented through the teenagers' working class clothing and behaviors in one scene. Ethnic diversity is limited, with only one black actor as a zombie to show that a pandemic can affect anyone. Locations and lighting are also used to convey meaning about characters and danger.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Evaluation 2
- 1. Evaluation 2: How does your media product represent social groups?
- 2. My selected social group: • The main group that I chose to represent in my film were young people between the ages of 15 and 24. I chose to represent this age group as this age range is vital in a person’s life because they conform to friendship groups to achieve social approval. Therefore, they will want to stay trendy and watch newly released movies and television shows.
- 3. Stereotypes: • In my film opening, I have tried to focus on using some stereotypes in addition to changing them. In Britain, young people are stereotyped to be troublemakers and a drain on society. Physically they tend to wear clothes that are in fashion. My focus was on young, working-class males who stereotypically wear Nike, Adidas and Baggy Jeans. This choice of clothing is stereotypically formed through news where stories about stabbings are focused on working-class males, who are prone to wear this type of clothing.
- 4. Costume: • Morris’ costume is not the typical Detective uniform worn. Often in British crime thrillers, the good guys are seen to be wearing suits however, similar to The Bourne Ultimatum, the good guys are seen to be wearing every-day clothing. I have selected the uniform to be this way so that I do not follow the typical uniform worn by Detectives and break the stereotype. However, I have not completely changed the Detective uniform as he wears smart shoes and tailored trousers, despite his parka.
- 5. Relationship • In my opening I decided to follow the stereotype of typical detectives portrayed in many crime thrillers. My inspiration for my film came from Sherlock, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. I have specifically decided to focus on the detective perspective of crimes like Sherlock. The two detectives in Sherlock is Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Their relationship is typical within crime thrillers: a strong bond, although contrasting in personalities. I have followed this with my two main detectives: Detective Chief Inspector Clancy and Detective Inspector Morris. Clancy is a stern, strong willed character and Morris is lighter hearted. This difference in character can create friction, but one is nothing without the other.
- 6. Sensitivity: • The main social issue that may be taken from our opening is the representation of criminals. One of the main characters is multiracial and since he is a criminal it could be gathered that people of colour are criminals however, this is not the case. • My film targets the sensitive issue of police brutality and using someone of colour could present how this is an issue that needs to be resolved.
