Our film uses conventions of the romantic comedy genre, such as the main characters initially missing each other but later sharing a first kiss. It represents teenagers exploring love and uses food in a romantic and comedic way. Film4 would be a suitable distributor as it distributes low-budget British films like ours. The target audience is girls and women ages 13 to 25, as romantic comedies appeal to them. We attract this audience through an upbeat soundtrack, modern clothing, and a blossoming relationship. Through constructing this film, we learned editing skills in iMovie and how camera angles can improve shots. The music and transitions improved from our preliminary task due to greater experience with the software.

Codes and conventions
Social realist films deal with contemporary social issues through several codes and conventions. They have low budgets to appear realistic without special effects. Simple mise-en-scene is used, along with non-professional actors, wide camera shots, and semi-improvised scripts. The target audience is niche groups who can relate to the depicted social issues, rather than mass appeal. Characteristics like working-class roles and non-diegetic sound aim to fully immerse the audience in the realistic story.
Titanic
This document analyzes and summarizes the key elements of a movie poster for "Titanic". It discusses several aspects of the poster design that are intended to attract audiences, including the formal serif font style, use of capital letters, and positioning of the title. It also analyzes the inclusion of famous celebrities like the director and actors, as well as film companies, to build credibility and appeal to fans. Finally, it discusses how visual elements like the romantic image of the two main characters embracing, their facial expressions, and the color scheme are intended to convey the love story genre and draw viewers in.
Titanic
This document analyzes and summarizes the key elements of a movie poster for the film Titanic. It discusses the use of font styles, capitalization, colors, images, taglines, and celebrity names to attract audiences. Specifically, it notes that the formal serif font, capital letters, placement at the top, and yellow/blue colors are used to convey that the film is serious and about a tragic accident at sea. The poster prominently features the famous director and actors to draw in fans and signal it will be high quality. Images of the romantic lead actors follow rules of thirds for clear viewing and communicate the love story theme.
Evaluation Question 1
1) The document discusses a short romantic comedy film called "Finding Mrs. Simon" produced by the author for a class.
2) The film uses conventions of the romantic comedy genre, such as the stereotypical title implying an "easy watch", settings in familiar everyday locations, and character archetypes resembling other romantic comedy films.
3) While some elements like using artificial zoom shots due to limited equipment challenge conventions, the author believes the non-linear narrative using flashbacks is effective and develops conventions, as it was also used successfully in the romantic comedy film "The Vow".
Powerpoint presentation
Our media project 'Changes' is similar to the teen drama 'Thirteen' in its use of montage sequences and flashbacks. We chose a song by Kate Nash to set the tone and engage the audience in the film's serious exploration of addiction and insecurity. While low-budget, our film could appeal to audiences of independent films and be distributed by companies like Film4 or Pathé. It would likely receive an 18 certificate from the BBFC. Through feedback on platforms like YouTube and Facebook, we learned how to better edit shots and convey flashbacks.
Question 2
1) The media product uses and develops forms and conventions of real horror films by including attractive leads, following Laura Mulvey's theory of using sex appeal to sell films, and portraying the heroic male.
2) The magazine cover and film poster follow conventions of similar real magazines and posters to look professional and appeal to audiences. More revealing photos are used for the magazine to highlight actors versus characters.
3) The teaser trailer incorporates codes like voiceovers and camera angles to tease the plot without revealing the ending, maintaining audience intrigue. It shows the story's equilibrium, disequilibrium and resolved equilibrium.
In what ways does your media product use
The media product develops conventions of romantic comedies by keeping the cliché of two best friends who like each other but adding that their different sexualities prevent them from being together. Costumes were kept casual to look like normal teenagers in college. Standard shots like tracking shots, two-shots, and shot-reverse-shot were used frequently to highlight expressions important to the romantic comedy genre. The group wanted to make the opening sequence engaging rather than boring so they added the element of differing sexualities rather than changing the classic storyline drastically.
Production Brief - A2 Media Studies
The production brief outlines a short film project focusing on a troubled teenage girl. The film will be a social realism drama approximately two minutes in length. It will tell the story of a 18-year-old girl who feels unwanted by her family and begins hanging out with a bad crowd, until she nearly gets hit by a car and meets a man who helps repair her family relationships. The filmmakers will create a trailer, poster and magazine cover to promote the film. They have researched comparable social issue films and plan to vary the trailer's pace and match music to editing to engage audiences. Representations of teenagers and family dynamics will conform to stereotypes initially but subvert expectations by the end. The filmmakers will test screen

Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job? Stanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.Viewers also liked (9)

Evaluation
Our film aims to represent teenagers aged 15+ by featuring young characters and focusing on their everyday lives. We chose to distribute the film through a smaller British company rather than larger American ones in order to better target our intended teenage audience. Through our characters, pacing, and focus on a female protagonist, we aimed to engage this target audience and subvert expectations for the thriller genre. The process of constructing the film taught us to utilize various technologies like PowerPoint, blogs, and video editing software to plan, communicate, film, and edit our media product effectively.
Evaluation2
Our media product uses conventions of the action genre in its opening sequence, such as typical shots, titles and editing, to engage audiences familiar with the genre. However, we also challenge some conventions, like using a rock music track instead of typical choices. As the sequence continues, the tone shifts from a typical action opening to one with mysterious, psychological thriller elements. The initial representations of characters in the sequence portray some stereotypes, like the female being naive and the male taking control, but the full film was planned to subvert some of these expectations. We aimed to attract teenage and young adult audiences of both genders by making the female protagonist a stronger character and the male appealing to both genders. Through characters and an attention-
Evaluation thriller films

- The film challenges conventions by having a female killer instead of male, and taking place in a house instead of outdoors.

- The film uses conventions like a police interview, blackmail plotline involving money, and scary music/sound effects.
- It represents men as successful and women as unsuccessful/violent, challenging typical gender representations.
- The film would be distributed by companies like 20th Century Fox that distribute similar thrillers, targeting an older teenage to adult audience.

Evaluation of main task 1
- 1. Evaluation of main task
- 2. How does our media film develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Our film doesn’t challenge any forms or conventions as when people choose to watch a romantic-comedy they want the specific conventions that they all entail. We used the convention of the main characters missing each other at the beginning of the film. They noticed each other but complications got in the way. This type of opening is used in such Romantic comedies as ‘monster in law.’ Another convention we used is that of the first kiss between the main characters. The audience of this type of film look for the kiss between the two main characters and the last and final kiss after all the complications is the happy ever after.
- 3. The main first kiss What the audience wait for.
- 4. How does our media product represent particular social groups? Our film is teen rom-com. The social group that is represented is teenagers. This is because the protagonists are both young characters exploring love and playing around with food. Food is used a lot in romantic comedies as it can be portrayed in a sexual manner and this adds to the romantic but also comedy elements to this type of film. Also if the film was acted out by thirty-odd divorced women with children trying to find love again it wouldn’t have the same young feel to the film.
- 5. Jam tarts used as a sexual item
- 6. What kind of media institution might distribute our film and why? Film 4 would probably distribute our film because it distributes low budget British films. Our film would fit into this category because it is a low budget, go with the flow film. It has British actors in it and therefore correctly slots into this institution perfectly. Film 4 has brought rom-coms such a ‘four weddings and a funeral’ into the limelight. Another way of distributing our film could be to use the internet as many young people know how to access films in that way. Also there are things run by the BBC that help to develop young talented film makers. In this way many new films are able to be distributed for viewers to see.
- 7. Who would be the audience for your media products? The audience of this film would suit girls/women around the ages of 13-25. This is because romantic comedies usually have some sort of connection with many women's lives. The writers of romantic comedies are good at being able to understand what women want out of a relationship but also the complications that arise within relationships. Around the age of 13 is when girls start to have relationship and they enjoy to watch romantic comedies as they want to envisage themselves growing up and having a relationship like the main characters of the film have in the beginning. Around the age of 25 is when women start to settle down and have a family. Although rom-coms still appeal to them they don’t have as much time to spend watch films so the amount of people that age watching rom-coms declines.
- 8. How did we attract/address our audience? We attracted our audience by having up beat music with the two main characters missing each other all the time. This keeps the audience in suspense on when they were going to eventually meet. Our audience is addressed with the way our clothes relate to the modern surroundings and also the age of the protagonists. This addresses the audience in such a way that they feel engaged and as if they want to relate to the film. Also the blossoming relationship attracts the audience because they feel as if it could happen to them with the people in their lives that they like.
- 9. What have we learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? We have learnt about the Mac computers which are involved in the editing process. We now understand how to add effects to the film sections and how to effectively cut shots in the right places to make the film look at it’s best quality. Using I movie was also easier because we understood how all the controls worked, making transitions easier to do. Also we have learnt how to make shots better by using different angles. The control over the camera was a lot better as we were more use to using the camera and able to use the functions on it better. E.g. the zoom.
- 10. Looking back at our preliminary task, what have we learnt in the progression from it to the full product? The music in our main task is a lot better than in our preliminary task. This is because we have learnt how to cut the music down so that it fits in with the scenes better. Also the transitions between shots flowed better than in our preliminary tasks because we understood how that Macs worked whereas in our preliminary task we were getting use to using them. We had also experimented in our preliminary task so we were able to do some more advanced shots making our main task more professional.
