Warrants
The issuer of warrants aims to make a profit by setting premium prices that investors pay upfront for warrants. The issuer profits if warrant prices do not surpass the strike price at expiration, avoiding payouts to investors. However, there may be a conflict of interest as the issuer provides advice to investors while also having an incentive to structure warrants in a way that favors their own profits over investor returns.

Question 3; film
The filmmaker received feedback that the characterization of the protagonist and antagonist was unclear. Specifically, the scene where the protagonist approaches the antagonist did not establish their roles well. There was also not enough emphasis on establishing the villainous nature of the antagonist through various shots showing her mysterious persona. Adapting techniques from other films like "Paranormal Activity 3" and "Orphan" that clearly establish the creepy nature of the antagonists could have helped audiences better understand the narrative.
Question 3; crew pack
The original production crew pack timetable lacked strict time framing for filming, which led to reshoots. However, it was efficient for tracking crew availability and equipment needs. A better timetable would have allotted specific days and maximum times for shooting, props, and documenting progress to improve efficiency and avoid reshoots. As producer, a more accurate and disciplined schedule should have been created for the production crew to follow strictly.
Evaluation question 2
The combination of the main product and ancillary texts is very effective. The poster depicts the protagonist in a long shot standing alone in the trees, which directly relates to one of the key shots in the film where the protagonist stands alone in the center of the frame surrounded by trees. For the double page spread, the creator aimed to directly link it to the climax of the film. Elements like character costumes, lighting colors, and the protagonist's image were adapted from the climax scene to the double page spread layout and design.
Evaluation question 1 more added
The poster challenges conventions of real media posters in several ways. It does not include images of the actors, instead only mentioning their names. The font, background image, and color scheme were chosen to suit the horror genre. The tagline "How well can you play?" relates to the title in a punning way and directly addresses the target audience. Placement of credits and adding a URL link where audiences can find more information also develop conventions. While some conventions are followed, like hierarchical actor names, the poster aims to intrigue audiences through its ambiguous and sinister style.
Pro log fed
The document summarizes the production log for creating a double page spread and film poster reviewing a short film. Key steps included selecting a two-page layout, dividing content for each page, placing background images and mock text to layout the design, cropping and fitting images and text, and creating the title with the chosen font style. The double page spread included three columns, headline, logo, review excerpt, rating, and a film still. Details on editing the main background image and adding elements like blurred effects, smoke, and tagline are provided for the film poster.
Production log cheryl[1] a2 (upload to blog)
This production log summarizes the first three weeks of filming for a short film. In week 1, the film crew had a camera workshop to learn filming skills. Week 2 involved shooting the exposition scene, establishing the main character at home, school, and in public. Various camera shots and angles were used to introduce the character. Week 3 continued shooting other scenes, including one at a bus stop and of the character interacting with a bully.
Mock up and research changed
The document provides information and examples of layouts for double page spreads in Empire magazine. It discusses conventional elements like separating the image and text, using consistent color schemes, and including page numbers. It also notes some unconventional elements like merging text with enlarged drop caps. Three mock-up layouts are proposed for a horror film promotion, incorporating things like stand first introductions, reviews, and multiple articles/images across the spread.
Sound finished pro log
The document provides a production log summarizing the placement of sound effects and music in a short film. An urban song called "Pass Out" was used for the opening scene to relate to the main character. An "alarm clock" sound effect was added to coincide with scenes of an alarm. The climax scene uses divided rushes of forest sounds with varying volume enhancements. Music was added to a "Chinese whisper" scene to change the mood and pace. An overview lists all sounds used throughout the film, including the opening song, climax forest sounds, and alarm clock.
Production log session 10
The document provides screenshots and details of shots taken for the exposition and classroom scenes of a film. For the exposition scene, shots show the protagonist crossing the road, interacting with a homeless person, and boarding a bus for college. Examples of these shots are selected for closer examination. The classroom scene features different camera angles such as medium close-ups and predominantly wide shots to establish the setting and capture multiple classroom actions at once from a large scale perspective.

Production log crew pack
The Fallen Apple Productions crew pack outlines responsibilities and tasks for the film crew of an upcoming short horror film. The producer, Cheryl, is responsible for securing locations, finding actors and props, creating the script, and overseeing the crew. The director, Topaz, will decide shots and scenes to match the storyboard and genre conventions. Camera and sound operator Deborah must find appropriate sounds and work with the director on shots. Editor Orianne will select shots, ensure narrative flow, and edit the film with input from the camera operator and director. A production timetable schedules camera workshops, rehearsals, and two weeks of filming over three weeks.
Production log final filming
Week 6 was the last week of filming for the Fallen Apples production. It was also the 3rd week of editing. The last day of filming involved reshoots of shots to replace mistakes made in editing. This final day of filming allowed them to reshoot scenes from new angles to improve continuity and replace errors from earlier editing. They also continued editing and worked on production logs.
Production log part 2
Week 3 of filming was challenging due to replacing an actress last minute. This caused delays and limited preparation time. Week 4 was productive with filming of multiple scenes and the start of editing. Week 5 involved reshooting a scene and continuing editing, though filming took longer than planned due to actor scheduling issues.
Production log cheryl[1] a2 (upload to blog)
This production log summarizes the first three weeks of filming for a short film. In week 1, the film crew had a camera workshop to learn camera skills. Week 2 involved shooting the exposition scene, introducing the main character at home, traveling to school, and arriving on campus. Various camera angles were used to show the character's reactions and follow his journey. The last scene of the exposition was easiest to film as it took place in an open public space.
Generic influences
The short film draws influence from the plot and characters of the feature film "Jennifer's Body". Specifically, the antagonist of the short film eliminates the protagonist, similar to "Jennifer's Body". However, the short film features a shy and reclusive antagonist persona rather than a popular one. The location of the school introduces the main characters and the woods brings them into conflict. The short film also features a subversion of the "Final Girl" character type commonly seen in horror films, with the "Final Girl" character being cunning and defeating the protagonist rather than the other way around. This unexpected conclusion leaves the door open for a potential sequel.

Horror genre
The document discusses adapting elements from feature films and short films in the horror genre to a new short film. It analyzes the shot composition, mise-en-scene, lighting, and locations used in films like "The Lovely Bones" and "The Hitcher" to build tension and fear. Specific techniques that will be adapted to the new short film include using a medium close-up shot of an antagonist in dark, deserted woods to startle the audience and create a sense of mystery and isolation for the protagonist.

Evaluation 4 done
- 1. Evaluation: Question 4 How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
- 2. Research & Planning (2): Slideshare and Powerpoint Using both ‘Slideshare’ and ‘Powerpoint’ enabled me to document my work in the format of presentation slides. However I would complete my work in ‘Powerpoint’ and open up the file from ‘Slideshare’ which would then give me the option of adding the link to blog. The process of using both media technologies (SlideShare and Powerpoint) made my documenting my research easier. I used the ‘Shapes’ tool in Powerpoint to help me draw connectives to my work, to show which areas in my work that I was evaluating.
- 3. Evaluation: Prezi I used Prezi for this evaluation question because of its focus on media technologies. Using Prezi allowed me to zoom in and out of my work (the software shows you around your work). It was another way of using media technologies effectively and creatively. Prezi also enabled me to share my Prezi slide on other media technologies such as ‘Blogger’.
