Concept
The concept for the music video is based on the feeling of "not giving in" to pressure as represented by the Rudimental song "Not Giving In". The video will use four locations to portray different examples of struggling against giving in to pressure: 1) A gym showing the release of frustration through controlled exercise; 2) An interrogation room focusing on the waiting and frustration of not answering questions; 3) A business office depicting pacing and throwing objects in frustration; 4) An open field as a place of freedom and happiness contrasting the previous stressful locations. The video aims to represent society and convey the emotions in the lyrics to the viewer without taking on character roles.
Storytelling in Product
Wesley Allsup discusses how storytelling techniques from screenwriting and film can be applied to product design and communication. Effective stories show experiences rather than just telling information, create empathy for characters, and elicit emotional reactions. Allsup explains concepts like narrative structure through acts and character arcs that end with change, citing influences from screenwriters like Dan Harmon. The document advocates applying such story-based structures to workshops, marketing, and onboarding to engage audiences.
Our response to other’s comments
This is what our peers said about our pitch and other comments we also made on our pitch. It also shows how we plan to resolve these issues.
Our response to other’s comments
The document summarizes Maisee Bloors and Tom Medhurst's response to feedback on their movie pitch. Their pitch was successful because they showed they would use a variety of assets like location photos and film theories. Peers said the pitch was informative, concise, and focused on the film planning process while providing examples. Issues raised included lack of parent parallels, wrong main actor, and an unhappy ending. To address issues, they changed the ending to show growing bonds and added scenes for character reasons and plot context. They need to add more character development scenes and ensure actors fit stereotypes.
Characterization ELA 8
The document outlines a lesson on characterizing characters through identifying their motivations, feelings, and how they influence the conflict and resolution. It provides examples of direct and indirect characterization and has students practice identifying character motivations, feelings, and how they affect conflicts through scenarios. The lesson aims to help students understand how character development impacts the plot.
Preliminary task - Hibba Sayeed
Me and Rubi planned a short film about a teenage girl, Hibba, breaking up with her boyfriend, Harley, at their school. They discussed key elements like using the school staircase and corridors as the location, having the characters wear normal casual clothes, and employing shot reverse shots and close-ups to convey the characters' feelings through facial expressions and match their actions. The film would show Hibba receiving a text to meet Harley, their conversation where she breaks up with him and returns his gift, expressing her desire to end their relationship through the camerawork.
Representation
The document summarizes the representation in a teaser trailer for a film. It represents the main character, Casey, as a female teenage student narrating her experience starting at a new school. It aims to represent relatable themes of bullying and fitting in for teenagers through stereotypical depictions, showing the popular group negatively bullying Casey. The filmmakers are responsible for these representations, using common bullying tropes and colors/stereotypes to signal it as a teen drama genre their target audience would enjoy and relate to due to experiencing similar bullying.
Preliminary task - Hibba Sayeed
Me and Rubi planned a student film about a teenage breakup between characters Harley and Hibba at their school. They discussed key elements like using the school staircase and corridors as the location to suggest the characters are students. They would wear normal casual clothes and use natural lighting and colors. Camera techniques like shot reverse shot, 180 degree rule, and match on action would be used to convey the characters' feelings and facilitate their conversation. The film would show Harley meeting Hibba because she wants to end their relationship, but he returns the gift he gave her and leaves upset after they talk. Facial expressions and angles would reveal the characters' emotions during the difficult discussion.

Assignment 1 media man v foods2
This document summarizes the conventions used in the food reality documentary series "Man V Food". It notes that the presenter engages directly with the camera and audience, enthusiastically presenting information about different foods and places in a relaxed interview style. Establishing shots, simple titles, and a handheld camera are among the techniques used to engage viewers.
Stages of falling in Love
This document outlines 5 stages of falling in love for men: 1) Appreciation based on physical attraction, 2) Infatuation where a man tries to get a woman's attention, 3) Attraction where a connection forms if the woman shows interest back, 4) Impression where the man decides if he wants to pursue a relationship after winning her over, and 5) Love where the man knows he wants to be with the woman and falls in love. The stages assume no outside pressures, consistent intensity of feelings, no second thoughts, restricted emotions only to each other, and no undesirable behaviors.
Explanation of our shot choices
The document describes the shot sequence for a scene involving two characters. It begins with an over-the-shoulder shot of character A to put the audience in their perspective. Further shots include a long shot down the corridor to show character A walking to their destination, as well as close-ups showing character A's impatience. Match-on-action and shot-reverse-shot techniques are used to smoothly transition between shots of the two characters as they interact.
How did you attract/Address your audience?
The document discusses techniques used to attract an audience to a youth violence film. It describes targeting an audience of teenagers aged 14-23 who may be interested in violent genres. The main characters were portrayed as a violent gang to match the stereotypes expected in such films. Locations like a park and changing room were chosen as effective settings for scenes based on their lighting and relevance to the storyline. Elements like a soundtrack by a group member, classic black and white titles and font, and shots like POV were implemented to enhance the genre, theme, and narrative.
Q5 evaluation
The document summarizes a student film project aimed at creating suspense and tension through the use of camera techniques and props. Shaky and blurred camera shots along with close-ups were used to build tension, inspired by the film "Se7en." Eerie music was chosen to accompany the scenes. The main actor wore a suit and plastic bag over the head to remain anonymous. Props like knives and hammers were included to imply potential death or murder. Based on its similarities to existing thriller films like "Se7en" but smaller production scale, the students believe their film is more likely to be considered a cult film shown on specialty channels initially before potentially partnering with larger companies.
Relative clauses
The document discusses two types of relative clauses: defining and non-defining. Defining relative clauses provide essential information to the sentence and have no commas. Non-defining clauses provide non-essential information through clauses separated by commas. It also lists the defining and non-defining relative pronouns that can be used such as who, which, that, where, when and whose. The document concludes with some other aspects of relative clauses such as using an infinitive instead of a relative clause and emphasizing the subject of a relative clause.
Evaluation 5 audience
The document discusses how the filmmakers targeted and engaged their audience. Initially, they aimed for 16-25 year old males but realized their slow-motion sequences would not interest 16 year old boys. They increased the target age to 18-25, who would appreciate the stylized slow motion and sped up action more. These techniques were used to prolong tense moments and increase tension. The filmmakers also discuss the middle-aged white male actors they used due to availability as students, and costumes they intended to use but did not fully achieve.
Pitch preesentation
The document outlines a pitch presentation for a film opening sequence called "Penelope". The sequence will show the main character Penelope getting kidnapped on her way home from school within the first minute. This creates tension that will be explored through the reactions of news reporters and Penelope's grieving family. The sequence aims to leave the audience wondering what will happen next. Key themes include innocence, grief, tension and a dark twist on the drama genre through use of rain and changing daylight. The target audience is 16-30 year olds interested in drama.

The document provides advice for job interviews, recommending that candidates research the organization and role beforehand, dress professionally, avoid acting overly wise without knowledge of the job description or company, and to never speak negatively about previous employers as it portrays a lack of trustworthiness.
Presentation2
The filmmakers wanted to use close-up shots to create tension and a strange atmosphere in their thriller. They included a shot of a character drawing an ear to emphasize the film's themes and question the character's sanity. The ending title features the word "blood" with a cut through it and blood coming out to relate back to the violent sequences and identify the film as a thriller about a killer.
Media prep
The document discusses the difference between organic and synthetic artists. Organic artists like Ed Sheeran and Adele write and perform their own music using instruments like guitar and piano. Their authenticity and talents have earned them awards and followers. Synthetic artists like DJs David Guetta and Daft Punk are more focused on their image and persona. They are constructed carefully and sold based on their look and popularity rather than their musical talents.
Horror Movie Powerpoint
The document proposes ideas for three horror movie plots. The first involves a single mother and child living in a converted church haunted by a deceased woman. The second centers around teens on a train that stops in the countryside where they encounter the ghost of a rail worker. The third and most developed idea is about a teenage girl who is stalked by a man driving a white van after sneaking out at night. She goes missing and her friend investigates other similar cases in an attempt to find her.

How to reach business professionals online
- Business technology purchasing is complex, involving many influencers across a long sales cycle. Buyers seek information from various sources like peers, analysts, and vendors.
- Influence is fueled by unique and trusted content online, rather than just search and portals. The moderately connected now have more influence than the highly connected.
- Marketers can span the purchasing funnel by engaging buyers through content sponsorship, expert blogs, polls, and activating peer influence at each stage from awareness to purchase. Impact can be measured through tools tracking topics, vendors and user engagement across the funnel.

Evaluation question 5
Our target audience for the film "Badlands" was older teenagers and young adults with a passion for film. We chose to make a psychological thriller genre film because it allows for an original narrative compared to typical student films. Some conventions we included were crime, ambiguous climaxes, and bleak settings. The characters were designed to fit these conventions - the protagonist is unnamed and wears casual clothes while the antagonist wears a mask and suits. Audience feedback praised the film's pacing, editing, and performances but suggested shortening some shots and making the opening less ambiguous.
Conventions of a thriller opening evaluation
The document evaluates the success of a film opening in meeting thriller conventions such as introducing the titles and actors, building suspense by keeping the antagonist hidden and introducing them without fully revealing them, using low lighting to create tension and a sense of unknown, and varying camera angles to create tension and show the stalker's obsession. It argues that the film opening was quite successful in meeting conventions required for any film as well as those specific to thrillers like building suspense and introducing the antagonist and bad guy.

Simple and minimalist design was used for the logo and title to focus attention. Tense music and an ambiguous ending title sequence were used to keep the audience watching. Establishing shots were filmed with a drone to contrast horror stereotypes and intrigue viewers without revealing the plot. Mystery is built around doors and what lies beyond them to engage the audience.

Evaluation question 5
- The target audience for the film is males and females aged 15-25 who enjoy horror and thriller films. Research found males prefer suspense while females enjoy unraveling mysteries.
- To appeal to the audience, the opening needed to introduce tension and suspense through the antagonist and flashbacks using different colors and sounds. Interviews provided feedback to emphasize these elements.
- The opening creates "visceral pleasures" by showing violence and "intellectual puzzles" by misleading the audience about who is the antagonist through the protagonist being tied up. Setting it in a school also helps the target audience relate to the location.

Question 1
The document summarizes how the media product, a psychological thriller, uses and challenges conventions of the thriller genre. It follows many typical thriller conventions like quick movements, tense music, and an unreliable victim character. However, it challenges conventions by not including guns/blood and instead uses a teddy bear for comfort. The target audience is ages 15+ and the opening credits use a softer font in black and white. Cinematography uses techniques like high angles, close ups, and panning shots to portray the victim's unstable behavior and vulnerability. Editing and sound are used conventionally to build tension. Costume, lighting, and mise en scene also advance the plot and character development in conventional thriller style.
Question 5- MEDIA AS
To attract their target audience of 16-25 year olds, the filmmakers of "The Forsaken" rated the film a 15 to allow for strong themes. They included features common to thriller films that they thought this audience would enjoy. Specifically, they used a close-up of a gorilla mask and a deepened voice to emphasize a character with a hidden identity. They believed this would appeal to an audience still finding themselves. The filmmakers also used a creepy song with mumbled voices and low synth sounds to set an unsettling atmosphere and draw audiences in while keeping some parts silent for suspense.

Evaluation task 5 how did you attract
- 1. Evaluation Task 5-How did you attract/address your audience By William Shehadeh
- 2. Target Audience • We wanted our target audience to be in the range of 18-25 year old because our lead actor and actress are in that range and I believe that that the target audience can relate to the video. Because the lead actress was considered to be attractive I believe that our target audience could be mainly boys
- 3. • At the start of the sequence we wanted to have that tense feel, to do this we put in close up shots of the actors to make it feel up close and personal.
- 4. Why our target audience would want to watch our violence theme. • In our thriller we have an element of violence. This is shown when the main character briefly stabs the other character, which shown as being in his thoughts. There was also shot within the opening title sequence where main character was drawing an ear conveying a sense of weirdness. I believe that our target audience would watch violence because it will entertain our audience.
- 5. • We added an unexpected scene where he try’s to stab her neck with a pencil and try’s to create a unexpected reaction. Also we added sound effects for example a stab effect and layered sounds of him shouting to help emphasise the effect of surprised.
