Gender is represented through the exclusion of female characters, conforming to stereotypes of men dominating such deals. Social class is depicted through costumes - the businessmen completing the exchange dress smartly, signifying wealth, while the thief wears torn jeans and dark clothing stereotypical of a lower class.

My media product represents the working class through a character dressed in fingerless gloves, usually associated with little wealth. The target age rating is 15+ to appeal to both teens who want to aspire to be like the older main character, as well as older viewers who can relate to him. While the male character wears dark clothes typically seen as intimidating and masculine, he is portrayed as more timid and lonely, challenging stereotypes of older generations and masculinity.
Q5 DRAFT
The document discusses targeting a young audience (15-24) for the thriller opening "Homeless" by using a cast of young characters around the same age. This allows the young audience to better relate to the situations portrayed. The theme of homelessness is an issue the target audience can identify with. The main character, Sam, will be particularly appealing as someone suffering similar problems. Referencing real social issues that affect the target audience will create interest and support from them. Choices were also made in costume, lighting, and plot devices to incorporate generic thriller elements and appeal to fans of the genre.
Evaluation Task 2
The film includes a female character representing a middle-class English teenage girl studying in college, shown to be innocent and on her phone frequently like most teenage girls. It also includes a male stalker character dressed in all black to appear evil and scary without being too obvious initially to build suspense. Camerawork, lighting, editing and sound were used to manipulate audience perception of the characters, with dark lighting for the male and bright lighting for the female. While diverging somewhat from genre conventions by not using props for the male, the representations generally reinforce social stereotypes with the upbeat female and negatively portrayed stalker male.
Representation for q 2
This document discusses representation in media through four aspects: mise-en-scene, camera, editing, and sound. It analyzes the representations in a film opening called "Split" in four ways. First, it represents the social group of alcoholics through dark makeup, clothes, lighting, and inclusion of drugs and alcohol. Second, it represents innocence and teenagers through a girly character design with bright lighting. Third, it represents the gender of girls through the main character's clothing and camera angles. Fourth, it represents disability through the main character Sophie who has schizophrenia, as shown through medical reports and an unsettling soundtrack.
Representation of social groups
The document analyzes and compares the opening sequences of the films Clueless and Ferris Bueller's Day Off in terms of how teenagers are represented. In Clueless, teenagers are depicted as wealthy, energetic rebels focused on partying and fashion. This detached portrayal may make it difficult for the teenage target audience to relate to the characters. Ferris Bueller's Day Off presents a more nuanced and realistic representation of teenagers, showing Ferris as vulnerable but mischievous, coming from a caring middle-class family but in conflict with authority figures like his sister. Both films aim to engage teenagers as an audience through their differing approaches.
PRELIM - Media Poster Analysis
The document provides an analysis of a promotional poster for a fragrance. It summarizes that the poster features a close-up shot of a brunette male with his arm around a smiling blonde female, Scarlett Johnson. The only other elements are the fragrance bottle in the bottom corner and the slogan "Just one moment can change everything" on the male's arm. It analyzes how these visual and textual elements are used to suggest that the fragrance can transform one's life by attracting a beautiful partner, as implied by the storyline depicted in the image. The simple black-and-white composition and lack of background context create a mysterious atmosphere around the product.
Ladies First
The poster analyzes the key elements of a movie poster titled "Ladies First". The title implies the plot will focus on the love story between the main female and male characters. Dark floral colors and a natural background suggest the narrative will have a dark, depressing tone. The positioning of the characters gazing into each others' eyes indicates they have a strong, passionate relationship. The production company featured is not well-known but is promoting on social media to expand its audience.

Question 2 – how does your media product
William Adams represents his target social groups in a film project in several ways. He uses young adult actors to portray intelligent, focused characters that his young adult audience can relate to. The costumes help establish hierarchies between the characters and their roles.

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
9
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 Q2
- 1. HOW DOESYOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?
- 2. Our media product represents particular social groups mainly through the use of mis en scene, camera and editing, however, also through sound too. The main social group our film opening focuses upon is our target audience therefore, the audience will be able to relate to the film and probably like it more as a result of this, a way in which they can relate is due to the majority of actors being of a similar age to the target audience. Furthermore, parts of our film link to the typical stereotypes of the actors age. E.g.Teenager who mugs/robs briefcase towards the end of the opening. Moreover, our film opening also represents a middle-aged man.This character comes across to the audience as more composed and calm about the exchange that is happening, contrasting to the younger man who is shown as more vulnerable as he gets attacked later on into the opening.
- 3. The social group of gender in our film opening is represented as there is no female characters in our media product. As a result this shows that our opening conforms to the stereotypes and that it is mainly men who take part in deals and meets, similar to the one shown in our opening.Therefore, we felt the need to have no female roles as this was against what society portrays as right, therefore, adding to the realism of our opening. Also, the characters in our opening have very little emotion on their faces, conforming to the stereotype that men do/should have little emotion and that women show their emotions much more.Therefore, by the characters showing no emotion on their faces, it makes them look more dominant and assertive in the scene.
- 4. Social class in our film represents middle-high class as this is the class of the characters completing the exchange, this is evident through the use of costume and how the two people completing the deal are dressed smartly showing that they have wealth. Also both people completing the exchange are completing it for themselves and are living up to the stereotype that most high class people are self-centred. On the contrary, the character which ends up robbing the person with the briefcase is of lower class, which is also evident through his costume, especially how the character is wearing ripped jeans. Also, he is wearing dark clothing which has connotations of anti-social behaviour and a negative stereotype of his lower class.
