The magazine article and radio trail also utilized typical conventions seen in those media like prominent images and headlines, and providing broadcast details.
The document discusses a horror trailer created for a younger target audience. It summarizes how the trailer uses elements of the uses and gratifications theory to fulfill audience needs like diversion, personal relationships, identity, and surveillance. It also discusses how the trailer employs genre conventions like mis-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and editing to encourage audience anticipation and prediction of what will happen in the film. Further, audience feedback was gathered during the development of the project to help the creator understand how well the trailer aligned with conventions and suited its intended younger target demographic.
Brandon Boyd developed ideas for his dissertation video on the power of social media. He initially considered concepts like a personal video, magazine, or sketchbook but realized those were too broad. His final idea was a series of 3-4 short videos exploring topics like social media, mental health, and LGBTQ+ issues. He researched other creators like Daniel Sax, Ellen Degeneres, and Des Herbert for inspiration. Sax's simple, creative videos informed Brandon's planning. Ellen's documentary style overview of key life events was not applicable to Brandon's life. Herbert's video about engaging social media content influenced Brandon's focus on visuals and key messages.
The document discusses how the author used various online tools and resources to research and create an opening title sequence for a film project. They used websites like Art of the Title, Netflix, and YouTube to find inspiration and analyze title sequences in different genres. Scoop.it was used to collect relevant research articles and trailers. Google forms, Piktochart and Final Cut Pro were utilized to conduct audience research, design infographics for social media, and edit the footage.
The student created a crime drama film targeting teenagers to depict crimes they are often involved in. The film challenges conventions like using minimal dialogue and unique titles. It was inspired by criminal case photographs and reenacts a crime scene using a pillow instead of a weapon. As an independent low-budget film, it would likely be distributed by a small company but could find success like Bullet Boy by engaging a niche audience. Creating the film helped the student learn filmmaking techniques like camera angles and resolution as well as skills like blogging and using movie editing software. Audience feedback was generally positive about suspense and professionalism but suggested improvements like better music and more dialogue.
Benjamin reflects on the success of each stage of his FMP project. For pre-proposal, he focused on understanding the mood and feelings he wanted to evoke in the audience. In contextual, personal context helped him realize skills and styles he enjoyed from past projects. Through research, he gained knowledge on effects and influences to make his product professional. Pre-production helped him design character costumes, locations, and props. For production, Benjamin overcame some challenges to successfully create the desired effects and feel he envisioned.

In contextual work, he researched inspirations and effects. Audience research was a key success in the research stage. Pre-production involved investigating costumes, props, and locations. Benjamin feels production went perfectly, with editing being the main success as it brought his vision together despite some challenges.
Benjamin Lawrenson submitted his music to four film festivals in five categories to present his work to audiences. Film festivals are an easy way to get work viewed besides YouTube and Vimeo. Most film festivals require payment but Lawrenson found some free options. He created merchandise mockups to promote his music channel brand, as merchandise is an effective way for YouTubers to promote their content. Lawrenson used Instagram as the best social media platform for his target audience, gaining followers to check out his channel through sharing and shoutouts. He posted introductions and the brand logo to make it recognizable.
Benjamin Lawrenson evaluated the effectiveness of his research for his final major project. His research into existing videos provided inspiration, but finding directly relevant products was difficult since his concept was unique. Researching rotoscoping and greenscreen techniques was useful, but he struggled to find new information about rotoscoping since he had experience with it. He realized he could have researched greenscreen more thoroughly. In planning, he created timetables and character details but could have added more production planning details. His final concept of multiple characters played by one actor making beats was improved from his initial single-shot idea. Production challenges included lengthy setup times and needing multiple reshoots. Post-production issues included recreating the music and losing all
The document outlines Benjamin Lawrenson's filming timetable for the upcoming week to film characters for his "Day of College" project, with plans to film the nerd and old man on Monday, goth and businessman on Wednesday, and modern teen on Friday, allotting extra time for the most difficult character. It also provides details on editing plans between filming sessions to layer up the characters for the final scene. The timetable aims to get all filming completed in the first week to stay on schedule.

Here are the key points about the response I got from my research:
- Questionnaires: I got a good response rate with 21 people completing the survey. This provided useful quantitative data about audience preferences.
- Interviews: I was able to interview 2 people who gave thoughtful qualitative feedback. Their insights helped validate some of my initial ideas and pointed out areas to improve.
- Overall the response was positive. People seemed engaged with my project ideas and provided constructive feedback. This suggests my research methods were effective at gauging audience interest and gathering feedback to refine my product concept.
- The questionnaires in particular provided a good sample size to analyze audience demographics and preferences statistically. This gave me clear direction on who to target and
- The document is a reflective journal entry for work done on a contextual section for a personal study project.
- The student worked on finishing their contextual section, adding and removing information about their inspiration, Rudy Mancuso, and researching green screening and rotoscoping effects they plan to use.
- They felt the work went well as they improved their previous work through reflection and managed to research the main effects they will use, but could have explored these effects in more depth.
This document provides context about the creator Benjamin Lawrenson's final major project. It discusses some of Benjamin's past projects in print, video, and audio that provide skills and inspiration. Specifically, Benjamin enjoyed the photoshop editing from a print project and learned video editing skills. For this project, Benjamin is considering a unique style of music video that incorporates green screening, sound effects, and rotoscoping effects to make it stand out. Benjamin analyzes specific creators like Rudy Mancuso for inspiration and techniques around music video production, sound design, and character positioning. The document also explores how effects like green screening and rotoscoping can enhance the project.
Benjamin Lewis Lawrenson proposes creating a comedy music video/short film called "Cool waiting room music". It will follow 5 characters in a waiting room who unintentionally create a song using objects around them. The 4-stage story will see them start with an unintentional beat that turns into a full song. Benjamin will film characters with a green screen and edit them into a location, adding rotoscoping effects. He will also create the music and evaluate his work against professionals and past projects to improve over time.
The student began working on their FMP project by reviewing past projects to determine strengths and areas of interest. They researched YouTube creator Rudy Mancuso for inspiration and conducted initial planning through a mind map. While context on Mancuso's work and style was found, more depth was needed. The next steps are to further research Mancuso and other similar creators to better understand reasoning and technical aspects used, and to explore rotoscoping as a planned technique.
Benjamin Lewis Lawrenson proposes creating a comedy music video/short film called "Cool waiting room music". It will follow 5 characters in a waiting room who unintentionally create a song using objects around them. The 4-stage story will show the characters developing a beat that turns into a full song. Benjamin will film on a green screen and use Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop for editing, adding locations, and rotoscoping effects to link objects to the music. He will create the music in GarageBand and evaluate his work against professionals to improve skills like editing, sound, and storytelling.

For their FMP, the student is proposing to create a music video using movements to create a song, with Foley sounds added to make the audio crisper. They will play all character roles themselves using overlaying to make it appear as multiple versions. Throughout the video, characters will use different objects to make beats/sounds to create different musical styles following a storyline.
The student began their FMP project by starting a contextual study. This included looking back on past projects to determine strengths and interests, and researching similar work by creator Rudy Mancuso. The student felt they made progress in establishing a baseline for context. Successes included analyzing past work and learning from Rudy Mancuso's inspirational style. However, more depth could be added on Mancuso's reasoning and techniques. The next steps are further researching Mancuso and other creators, as well as the rotoscoping technique planned for the project.
Digital technology has significantly impacted the film industry in several ways:
1) It has enabled new visual effects techniques like CGI, virtual cinematography, and digital compositing that allow complex scenes to be captured and edited more easily.
2) Equipment for filming and editing has advanced from heavy film cameras to lightweight digital cameras and from physical film editing to digital editing software.
3) Major films like Avatar pioneered new motion capture and real-time CGI techniques that further blurred the line between live-action and computer generated imagery.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
2. The 6 Different Types Of Documentaries.
There are 6 different types of documentaries that I could possibly do for this product. These are:
1. Poetic mode: A poetic documentary eschews linear continuity in favour of mood, tone, or the
juxtaposition of imagery. Leni Riefenstahl’s Olympia is an example of a poetic documentary that focuses
on visuals and artistic style to help reveal an inner truth.
2. Expository mode: Expository documentaries set up a specific point of view or argument about a subject
and often feature “voice of God” style voice-over. For expository documentaries, the cinematographer is
responsible for collecting footage that supports and strengthens the spoken argument of the film,
including stock footage, archival footage, b-roll, or re-enactments of historical events.
3. Participatory mode: Participatory documentaries are defined by the interaction between the
documentary filmmakers and their subject. Therefore, a cinematographer is equally responsible for
capturing the interviewer as he is the interviewee. Participatory documentaries, also known as interactive
documentaries, often present the filmmaker’s version of the truth as “the” truth, focusing on direct
engagement with subjects and capturing real emotional responses and interactions. Many of the
interactions that are captured support the filmmaker’s point of view or prove the film’s intent.
3. The 6 Different Types Of Documentaries.
4. Observational mode: A style of documentary embraced by the cinema verité movement, observational documentaries attempt
to discover the ultimate truth of their subject by acting as a fly-on-the-wall—in other words, observing the subject’s real-life without
interrupting. Cinematographers on observational documentaries will often be asked to be as unobtrusive as possible in order to
capture their subjects in a raw, unguarded state.
5. Reflexive mode: Reflexive documentaries focus on the relationship between the filmmaker and the audience. Since the subject
matter is often the process of documentary filmmaking itself, a cinematographer will shoot behind-the-scenes style footage of the
entire film production process, including editing, interviewing, and post-production.
6. Performative mode: Performative documentaries focus on the filmmaker’s involvement with their subject, using his or her personal
experience or relationship with the subject as a jumping-off point for exploring larger, subjective truths about politics, history, or
groups of people. A cinematographer is often asked to capture the documentary production process, as well as intimate footage
that illustrates the direct and often personal relationship between filmmaker and subject.
After researching and assessing the different types of documentaries, I have decided that the I will want to research expository
styled existing products. This is because this style will fit the idea of my documentary better. I also find that this style of documentary
interests me more which will allow me to use myself as a form of primary research due to knowing who that I will come under my
primary audience.
Finally, this style of documentary includes stock footage and b-roll which both is easy for me to get and it also allows me to break
up scenes and subtopics with small transitions shots. I can also use these shots for any voice overs that I might have planned.
4. Released dangers and secret of the internet.
Over years there have been many disasters on the internet such as hacked social media and
websites.
Hacked social medias:
Event- Facebook's Twitter and Instagram accounts hacked
Group- OurMine
Date- February the 7th 2020
Event- #BlackLivesMatter Movement
Group- Anonymous
Data- May the 28Th 2020
5. Released dangers and secret of the internet.
These two groups hacked into different kinds of services on the internet. The group ’OurMine’
hacked into both Facebook, twitter and Instagram account, allowing them to steal people's personal
data and causing all three to temporally shut down costing them thousands. This is one of the big
dangers I see on social media. The group quoted on Facebooks account ‘Hi we are Our Mine. Well,
even Facebook is hackable but at least its security is better than twitters’. This was a taunt which
allowed people to know that they have been hacked.
The group anonymous hacked in a different sort of way. They hacked and gathered information
about the killing of George Floyd and used this to blackmail/ threaten the police that they will
release the video that they have. This is a different type of hack but is still the same that there
where able to hack and gather information from people's phones/social media about the subject.
These two subjects are the type of information that I would want to discover in my project. This is
because I find it interesting and important for people to know about.
6. The power of privacy is a documentary about modern threats
to privacy. It briefly covers the history of privacy, showing
how we got to the present day, in terms of technology and
human behaviour. I really like this documentary for many
reasons. Firstly the topic, I find it to be really interesting and
something that lots of people either don’t know about or don’t take any interest in. I like their style of the way they set
different task out in different points. Such as being online stalked, hacked and trying to get leaked documents back. I
also like their style of telling us al of this before the documentary start. This grips the audience from the start. This
would be something that I try to have in my documentary to make it interesting and descriptive at the start to hook the
audience and inform them from the get go. This documentary uses different forms of visuals. They use animated cartoon
to illustrate what they are saying this is creative and a easy way to show what they are saying without having to film or
set up in a location. They also use lot of interviews to get information from people. If possible I will want to try get
some interviews, either public or set up. I like their style of having interviews pre set up as they look a lot more
professional. This way, I they can also plan what will happen in the interview. Lastly, with the interview pre set up, they
can decide on different angles for the cameras to be set up in. The combination of these two types of footages work
well together to separate different scenes and topics. It breaks the video up and keeps the audience focused on what’s
being said. The last type of footage they have is b-roll which they insert on top of voiceovers and in between shots and
scenes.

7. The Netflix documentary ‘The Great Hack’ focuses on social
media and the data that your building up. It focuses on the
privacy that people actually have online and how all you online
movements make a database about yourself. I like this
documentary as it makes you think about what data people could get about you if any of your social
medias got hacked into. I like this documentary’s style of being factual tell people information such as
personal data being more valuable than oil. This is the kind of data I would want to tell people in my
documentary as then it is an eye opener and will make people rethink how much of there data they put
online. This documentary has a mix of interviews, b-roll and still which work well together. I like this style as
it keeps the focus on what is important. They include narration which I find makes it more interesting so there
isn’t lots of face to camera scenes and so that they can use b-roll to add illustrations to match what they are
saying. I'm looking at this documentary as it shows me things that I didn’t know about the internet. It gives
me information of how people can get your information and what is most at risk. They also use a mix of
interviews and voice overs, which is a convention that I will try use as it helps to break up the video.
Existing Product- The Great Hack
8. The documentary ‘Terms And Conditions May Apply ’ focuses
on things that you accept online that you don’t necessarily
know about. Terms And Conditions May Apply examines the
cost of so-called 'free' services and the continuing
disappearance of online privacy. People may think they know
what they give up when they click 'I Agree' on companies like Facebook and Google. This part of
information for my documentary would be a big part that I would want to focus on as you could be
agreeing to anything. For this I could set up a Facebook, read the terms and conditions to see if there is
anything you wouldn’t normally want anyone to have access to. This kind of documentary takes my interest
more as it has some humour elements to it which break up the documentary from the serious parts, helping
the audience to keep entertained, focused and educated. Finally, I chose this product to research as it is
firstly an easily accessible documentary on YouTube, which is what I intend. It is also clear what it is on
about and their illustrations are creative and engaging. They also use a mix of interviews and voice overs,
which is a convention that I will try use as it helps to break up the video.
Existing Product- Terms And Conditions May Apply
9. The documentary ‘The effects of social media’ is a short documentary
focusing on how social media has effects the lives of the maker of
the short documentary and people that he interview. This creator
uses a different type of interview style. As this is a less professional
product the creator doesn’t have as much equipment. They use lots of interviews with only one angle. This is
simple but effective, this gives the person being interview a specific angle to look towards. This
documentary has a style where you can hear them ask a question to the first person then have an overlay
where all the people answer it one after another. This is a style and convention that I really like and works
well. I have chosen this documentary specifically because it is short. This allowed me to see how other
creators got all their information into the documentary in a short space of time. I also chose this short
documentary as they have also used techniques and styles which I find interesting and that give me
inspiration to collaborate into my product. Finally, I chose this documentary as it is the closets form of
product that I will be making. The other documentary's I have researched are long or in series for Netflix or
national television, whereas this is short and for YouTube which is what I will be aiming for mine which will
allow me to see how they have portrayed it and set it out.
Existing Product- The Effects Of Social Media
10. Research summary:
In summary, I have researched products that are mainly all about the internet, social medias
and the dangers that they are hiding in plane site. I feel that this is a interesting and important
topic that I would love to explore into more. Researching these products I have been able to
gather new ideas for subtopics to research into, different things to include such as b-roll. I
have also realised which style of interview interview. I would prefer the interview to be set up
with different camera angle than to be in public. This is so that the interview is more
controlled and that I know the people I am interviewing a bit more.
The most/all of the existing products use interviews in some way or form. This is done via a
voice over/call or a face to face interview. This a big inspiration for my product. This will be a
key part which I can use to ask people a chosen question to get information to inform or build
data for a point.
11. Research summary:
I have also learnt about the dangers that the internet have. Having to much information about
yourself creates a social databank about yourself. This is built up of anything you do online
such as Facebook and Instagram posts, YouTube videos, online reviews and many more. If
someone hacked into your data bank then they can steal all of this data about you. From this
they can start profiling you to sell to other hackers.
Peoples online personal data has been ranked more valuable then oil. This is shocking to say
as oil is one of the worlds most valuable resources. Personally I find this to be uncomfortable
to know that my information is out there making people money and being built in a data bank
