Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media product adheres to conventions of the teen drama genre. The teaser trailer is set primarily in a high school, which is a common setting for teen dramas. Costumes are used to portray the different characters' social statuses consistently with genre conventions. Both the trailer and ancillary materials, like the magazine cover and poster, follow standard layouts and stylistic choices typical of their format to appear recognizable to the target audience.
Production plan
The production plan outlines the dates for test footage, location scouting, test shots, and casting photos in late September and early October 2014. The main locations are the outside and inside of the family house. Props like a teddy bear, note, and vase will be used to establish the horror genre. Costumes will start as normal clothes but get torn and dirty to increase tension. The cast includes Bethany Munden as the 10-year old main character, Lewis Jupp as her 17-year old father, and Amy Jane Wilson as her 17-year old mother. Equipment includes a camera, tripod, and editing software.
Production plangg
The production plan document outlines the key details for an upcoming student film trailer, including:
1) Dates for test footage, location scouting, test shots, and casting photos scheduled between September and October 2014.
2) Two primary filming locations - the exterior and interior of the main character Chloe's house, to take advantage of natural lighting and establish a realistic family setting that progresses to reveal clues of an evil spirit.
3) Props like a teddy bear, note, and vase that are commonly seen in horror films and will help set the dark, cryptic tone.
4) Costumes for the main characters - a young girl in a dress and her parents in casual clothes
Question 1
1. The film uses only 2 main characters and a few extras, sticking to the short film convention of a small cast to allow intimacy. It is similar to the film Submarine in this way.
2. Settings include a school, council estate, and park, replicating typical drama film locations. Costumes also reference conventions like a school uniform.
3. The film follows conventions of short film genres like drama by having limited dialogue and developing characters through actions. It compares to Adulthood in storyline and aspects used.
Production plan
This production plan outlines the dates, locations, props, costumes, personnel, and equipment for a horror film trailer. Key dates include location scouting on September 27th and test shots on October 1st. The main locations are outside and inside Chloe's house. Props include a teddy bear, note, vase, and other household items associated with horror genres. Costumes will start normal but become torn and dirty as the trailer progresses. The cast includes Bethany Munden as 10-year old Beth, and Lewis Jupp and Amy-Jane Wilson playing older than their age as Beth's parents. Required equipment is a camera, tripod, and editing software.
Pitch reflection
The document discusses ways to improve a short film about a character named Adam dealing with anxiety. It suggests including a "safe item" in the narrative to further illustrate Adam's anxiety. It also notes that audience research was done well and received positively, identifying research as a strong point. Additionally, it discusses emphasizing anxiety through techniques like using heartbeat sound effects and depicting daily tasks as monumental challenges to capture how anxiety affects sufferers.
Adam Pitch A2 Media Studies
The document discusses plans for a short film about a teenage boy named Adam suffering from social anxiety. It will use voiceovers and sound bridges to tell the story from Adam's perspective, as he hears conflicting voices in his head due to his social anxiety. The film aims to explore how social anxiety can impact daily life and education. It will have a low budget and make use of free equipment from the film school. Production roles are divided between researching editing and directing cinematography.
Evaluation Question 1
Our media product, a film, follows many conventions of the thriller and horror genres. We used high angle wide shots during moments of mystery or uncertainty, as thrillers typically do, to give context and portray character attitudes. We also used over-the-shoulder shots for the antagonist to foreshadow events, mirroring horror films. While conforming to these conventions, we also challenged some by using thoughtful mise-en-scene to reveal character personalities and an unconventional poster featuring the isolated school setting to promote mystery. Overall, we strategically employed genre conventions to engage audiences while putting our own spin on some elements.

Unit 2 and 3 Task 1 2 3
This document outlines a plan for a short horror film called "The Devil's Playground" aimed at teenagers aged 14-16. The film will enforce safety around strangers and include conventional horror elements. It will be 5-7 minutes long. The purpose is to educate teenagers on avoiding confrontations with suspicious strangers and not trusting anyone, especially strangers. Netflix was chosen as the distribution platform since more teenagers use it than TV. The film will be pitched to the company director for approval and full production.
Question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed their target audience in the opening sequence of their horror film. They chose to partner with Blumhouse Productions as their distributor because Blumhouse specializes in similar horror films that already have an established audience. Using a child as the first antagonist was meant to intrigue audiences by subverting expectations, as was including chase scenes shot with handheld cameras to create tension. The film spans different eras to allow modern audiences to relate to characters and settings. A female antagonist challenges gender stereotypes and makes the film stand out from most horror films that feature male antagonists.
Media as evaluation q1 zack
Our media product uses and challenges some conventions of real films. It uses props, settings and locations to influence character interpretation and atmosphere, shooting on location in Jordan to resemble Iraq for realism. However, it also challenges conventions through its use of lighting - interrogating in a bright, open rooftop rather than a dark room. While employing stereotypical characters of victim and villains, it manipulates time through flashbacks, typically a convention but now common. The soundtrack creates tension as in thrillers, conforming to genres while surprising through its settings.
Bad teacher film poster analysis
The poster depicts the main character, a teacher, looking disheveled and asleep at her desk, indicating she is not a conventional teacher. Above her is the title "Bad Teacher" written on the chalkboard, emphasizing the theme of her poor teaching abilities. The tagline and an image of an apple with the message "Eat me!" reveal this is a comedy genre film. The red apple and shoes of the main character suggest she is bold and wild. At the top are the names of famous actors like Cameron Diaz, who will draw in audiences familiar with their work.
Final Photos used for Titles
The document discusses selecting five photos of the lead character, Daphne Watt, to feature in the title images for a film about her. The photos were chosen to represent her personality through poses, costumes, and facial expressions that hint at being clumsy, ditzy, and vulnerable. Each photo provides foreshadowing for different elements of the story and themes through the character's appearance and body language. The photos will be edited onto title screens pairing each image with one of the five rules of survival for the film.
Group 6 Presentation
Group 6 presented on their film project about a teenager named Michael Watson who feels trapped in everyday life. They conducted research that found social realism/drama was the most preferred genre. Their film will focus on one main character, Michael, who expresses his feelings through poetry voiceovers. They created a storyboard and animatics to plan shots and add sound.
Film pitch
The document outlines the plot of a horror film called "The Woods" that follows a young girl (age 13-15) who has been possessed by an unknown force. The film will be set in present day in a woods, using the setting and shots of trees/shadows to create a tense atmosphere. It will feature the nursery rhyme "Ring a Rosie" on the soundtrack to contrast the girl's youth with the horror elements and emphasize her vulnerability.
Shyannes recce
This document provides a recce form for a location to film scenes for a short film. The location is the protagonist Sophie's bedroom. Key details include:
1) The bedroom will be used to film Sophie reading a book that frightens her, shown through various shots including close-ups of her facial expressions.
2) Choosing this feminine space allows the intended teenage female audience to identify with Sophie and find the story entertaining as her safe space becomes frightening.
3) Potential issues include inconsistent lighting if reshoots are needed at different times of day, and limited filming time due to darkness if shooting after school. Noise from family or their dog also requires awareness.
How does your media product represent particular social groups
This document discusses the representation of social groups in a student media production. The production targets teenagers aged 15-18 and young adults as the audience because they can relate to the storyline. Two members of the student group were cast as the main actors since they fit the target demographic and were available to film. One actor was chosen to play the "Entity" because he is short, making him seem scary but harmless compared to the other actor. The production aims to subvert stereotypes by portraying the male investigator character as becoming weak and helpless, rather than only depicting female characters that way.
Cast Choice
The document discusses casting choices for a film production. It provides a character breakdown for the leading female role of Milly, a 22-year-old introverted artist. The document discusses choosing a female lead to empower women and convey independence. It then announces casting Laura Wilson, a 19-year-old actress, in the role. Laura is described as mature, able to convey emotions through movement and facial expressions, and committed to the production. A contract and release forms will be sent to secure Laura in the role.
Evaluation Question 5

They researched that this age group and males in particular are drawn to the genre. The film features main characters of similar ages to the target audience and is set in a rural village to increase relatability. To engage the audience, the film aims to provide both visceral thrills through scenes of violence and intellectual puzzles by including mysterious elements open to interpretation.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed and attracted their target audience through various elements of the production. Non-diegetic music, particularly during an elevator scene, was intended to attract teenagers by making the opening seem like a video game. Formal costumes worn by all characters were meant to appear stereotypical of action films and relate to the daily attire of the audience. The age range of characters mirrored the target demographic of 15 to 34 year olds. A variety of shots, including close-ups and point-of-view shots, helped audiences identify with the protagonist's perspective.

Technically, it follows conventions like the 180 degree rule but challenges continuity expectations. The goal is to create uncertainty around the narrative for audiences.
Character Theory
This document discusses Erving Goffman's character theory for analyzing roles in media. Goffman's theory identifies four main character types: the protagonist (leading character), deuterogonist (secondary character), bit player (minor character with unknown background), and fool (character that uses humor to convey messages). The document then provides an example analysis of the animated movie Finding Nemo, identifying Nemo as the protagonist, his father Marlin as the deuterogonist, and Dory the blue fish as the fool character.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of real media products in several ways:
1) It focuses on a group of girls welcoming a new member into their clique rather than exploring friendship troubles or relationships.
2) It has an all-female cast with no male characters, avoiding the expectation that relationships would be the main focus.
3) While it uses a conventional voiceover technique, the voiceover asks questions to engage viewers rather than simply narrating the story.

Gloria's Media evaluation
This document discusses the forms and conventions used in teen drama films. Teen dramas typically focus on the interests and issues faced by teenagers, such as relationships, rebellion, pregnancy, abuse, and sexuality. They aim to balance sensitive topics with humor and entertainment. These films are often set in high schools or colleges. Shots from example teen dramas like Save the Last Dance are described, including establishing shots of students arriving at college and close-ups of characters. The document also discusses how the filmmaker applied conventions of teen dramas such as character representations and targeting their intended young adult audience in their own media project.

She is allowed to join the popular group but must complete difficult tasks that could endanger her safety. The students change the story to be about a girl who wishes to be popular and is surprised by what happens the next day. They provide ideas for characters, posters, trailers, and magazine covers to promote their film.

A group of students propose a film trailer for a teen drama. The trailer would follow a new girl at school who joins the popular group but must complete risky tasks to stay part of it. The group later changes the plot to be about a girl who wishes to be popular and is surprised by what happens the next day. They provide ideas for characters, posters, trailers, and magazine covers to promote the film.

Presentation1
Our film uses some conventions of teen drama genres but also challenges some conventions. We used typical cliques seen in teen dramas like popular kids and geeks, but subverted expectations with our ending where the main character ends up alone instead of in a relationship. Many successful teen dramas like Mean Girls and The Fault in Our Stars challenge conventions by having non-romantic or tragic endings. We were inspired by these films and developed some conventions like making the popular girl less mean and having the geeky boy get a new girlfriend.
Genre
The document discusses applying genre theory to a teaser trailer for the film "Casey's Journal". It begins by introducing the teaser trailer and its purpose of drawing in the target audience. It then defines genre as a way to categorize media texts according to common semantic and syntactic elements. Finally, it analyzes how the teaser trailer exhibits elements common to the teen drama genre, such as a typical narrative structure, settings of school and home, and realistic lighting style, making genre a useful marketing tool for appealing to the intended audience.
media evaluation
The document discusses a media product that uses conventions of teen films, such as stereotypical characters, to tell a story from the perspective of the popular girl rather than the outcast. It will be set in a school and use a yearbook as a prop to convey this. Inspired by other teen films like Napoleon Dynamite, it will not clearly reveal the protagonist at first to create suspense.

Evaluation Question 1: In what way does your media product use, develop or ch...
This document discusses how the media product conforms to and challenges conventions of real teen movies and high school dramas. It uses typical upbeat pop punk songs in the opening to set the tone. For costumes, it mostly conforms by suggesting stereotypes but challenges conventions by making the cheerleader character less "perfect" with braces and a unique haircut. It focuses on typical cultural topics like cliques but challenges norms by implying drug use. The settings of schools and girls in bathrooms conform to codes, but the portrayal of the alternative character as a drug-using outcast challenges expectations.

How Research has informed our planning for our final opening sequence
The document discusses how research informed the planning of an opening sequence for a film. It describes using a protagonist that the target audience of 16-25 year olds can relate to by experiencing bullying or psychological issues. The narrative plot follows the protagonist seeking revenge after being bullied at home and school.

Camera techniques researched like tracking shots and 180 degree rule were implemented to successfully achieve the thriller genre for the opening sequence.
Evaluation question 1
This document discusses conventions used in comedy films that the author's media product draws from or challenges. It examines conventions around setting, camera angles/cinematography, sound, plot, acting, and title sequences based on research of films like Get Hard and Grown Ups. For their comedy film opening, the authors incorporated relatable school settings, exaggerated characters following rom-com plots, and title sequences to define character personalities. Their goal was to utilize genre conventions to create humor while still appealing to their target teenage audience.
Question 1.

Question 2 eval
The document discusses how the main product's brand identity is effectively carried through to two ancillary texts - a magazine cover and film poster. Both ancillary texts feature the same main antagonist character, Jess, distinguished by her red hair and lipstick. The color red is prominently used in both texts to portray Jess as dangerous and powerful. While the tagline is only on the poster, both texts link to the main theme of secrets through a text message and the symbol of a rose. All three products suggest the genre of teen drama with mystery.
Presentation 2
The document outlines deadlines for post-production work on a lesson project. Key deadlines include December 4th for screening a teaser trailer rough cut, submitting poster and magazine cover draft layouts, and gathering target audience feedback on these materials through various means. A second deadline is December 15th at 3:45pm to submit final versions of all three promotional package products - the teaser trailer, poster, and magazine cover - along with a completed journal documenting the entire project process.
idents
Idents are moving logos or images shown at the beginning of media productions to identify the producing company. They represent that company's brand and make it distinct from other brands. This ident for Summit Entertainment uses an outline of a mountain as its distinctive branding, suggesting the company achieves great heights. As a subsidiary of Lionsgate, Summit focuses more on teen and niche audiences compared to Lionsgate, which produces major blockbuster films for broader audiences.
Scott pilgrim
The three products - film trailer, poster, and magazine cover - for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World have a clear and strong brand identity centered around the main character Michael Cera and the color red. They all suggest the same hybrid genre of comedy, fantasy, and action. While the trailer provides an overview of the narrative and the poster emphasizes the romance and supernatural elements, the magazine cover solely focuses on the action to appeal more to action fans. The target audience is intended to be younger viewers between 15-24 years old, with the action appealing more to males and the romance to females. The magazine cover may differ by focusing only on action to attract its older demographic readership.
Production meeting
We discussed initial ideas for a teen drama film and almost decided on a narrative to use. As a group, we worked through activities in the BFI film booklet to create a synopsis and main character, using existing films and newspapers for inspiration. It was difficult to create a main character without a definite synopsis. We discussed our individual genre research and used this information to generate more ideas. For the next meeting, we need to have a definitive synopsis and have started developing the characters in more detail.

At the next meeting, each student will research teen drama conventions and post about them on Mahara.
Presentation1 2
The teaser trailer for Warm Bodies analyzes the film's mise-en-scene, target audience, genre, camerawork, editing, and sound. The trailer establishes a mysterious yet romantic zombie story through its low-key lighting, casual costumes, abandoned settings, focus on the young cast, blending of comedy and zombies. It also employs close-ups and shots that transition from fast-paced zombie scenes to slower romantic moments between the two protagonists as their relationship develops.
Presentation
The marketing campaign for the film Warm Bodies began with the release of the initial poster featuring the two main characters without revealing the release date. A few months later, a secondary poster was released that focused on the plot and gave more insight through the tagline "cold body, warm heart". Before the first trailer, behind the scenes videos were released showing the film's production and makeup. The first official trailer then revealed the story, characters, and overall sense of the film through imagery and a voiceover. A second, shorter teaser trailer showcased more action through fast editing to highlight the zombie rom-com genre. Finally, five new posters were released for the film characters with comedic taglines and the same color theme to
Teaser conventions
Teaser trailers are typically shorter than 90 seconds and are meant to excite audiences about upcoming films without revealing full plots or stories. They establish main characters and relationships through carefully selected shots and footage. Dramatic music, camera angles, dialogue, and voiceovers are used to build atmosphere and intrigue viewers without giving away too many details, ending in a cliffhanger to generate anticipation for the full film.
Task 7
The document discusses improvements made from a preliminary film project to the main task film project. It describes how the filmmakers demonstrated better camerawork skills through more focused shots, improved use of mise-en-scene to create meaning, used lighting and props more effectively to fulfill genre conventions, chose more suitable camera angles, and greatly improved editing skills through more advanced use of effects, transitions, and sound editing. The filmmakers were able to apply lessons learned to create a stronger opening sequence that better established characters, tone, and plot.
media technology
This document summarizes the equipment used to film a media project, including:
- A Canon Vixia HF R300 camcorder that produced good quality clips and was easy to use due to previous experience.
- A tripod that provided steady shots from adjustable heights, especially for a high kitchen window scene.
- A handheld camera stabilizer that created a shaky shot during a walking scene.
- Microphones like the H4N and H1 used for foley sounds and recordings like footsteps and screams.
- An iPhone's voice recorder used for clear voiceovers and breathing sounds.
- Final Cut Pro software where files, clips, effects and sound are edited on
Distribution in media AS
This document discusses film distribution and describes Lionsgate and Paramount as potential distributors. It summarizes that Lionsgate would be the best choice to distribute a paranormal thriller film about a haunting because Lionsgate specializes in similar genres and targets the desired audience. While Paramount is a major distributor, it focuses more on blockbusters than thrillers. Social media, especially Instagram and Facebook, are identified as effective ways to market the film to its young target audience.

Your Skill Boost Masterclass: Strategies for Effective Upskilling
Your Skill Boost Masterclass: Strategies for Effective UpskillingExcellence Foundation for South Sudan
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Evaluation question 1
- 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? QUESTION 1
- 2. • The main location for our teaser trailer was in a high school setting as this is where conventionally most teen dramas take place and we wanted to adhere to the conventions. Most teen dramas are set in a high school as it is relatable and is where the age of the cast would realistically spend their time. For example, one of the main teasers we researched was Mean Girls, which is predominantly filmed in a high school, and we are therefore adhering to one of the main conventions. We also used other settings such as a 'dorm' room to enable the audience to understand more about both the plot and the characters. SETTING & LOCATION
- 3. COSTUMES & PROPS • The costumes and props we used typically follow the conventions of the teen drama genre, and the costumes we did choose were chosen to create a representation of the different characters. For example, the main character, Jess, is first introduced with a powerful medium shot of her walking down the corridor with her high heels. We used this shot to instantly portray Jess as powerful and striking to the other girls. Similarly, the use of the handbag compared to the other girls rucksacks creates a clear difference between the social status of the characters. We did not need to use a huge amount of props because typically the genre does not use a signifcant amount of props in order to fulfill certain representations.
