Media question1
The document discusses the use of media technologies in the production stages of a media project. A high-quality Canon camera was used to film footage and extra batteries were brought to ensure continuous filming. Footage was saved to an SD card and USB for safekeeping. Adobe Premiere Pro editing software was used to cut together shots and maintain video quality. The final product was uploaded to Vimeo for sharing online due to Vimeo's high upload quality and lack of feature loss compared to YouTube.
Location scouting sheet
Liverpool Street Station, surrounding London streets, and Hyde Park are proposed locations that are centrally located and offer flexibility for filming scenes depicting a journey. The station interior and exterior, nearby coffee shops, and areas of the park would be available for filming on weekdays after 3:30pm and weekends anytime. The locations fit within the concepts and vision for the music video and provide busy, varied settings near public transit.
Location report
Liverpool Street Station and Hyde Park are proposed locations for filming a music video. Liverpool Street Station is spacious with shops and an open roof, providing good lighting. Hyde Park is a large park with benches, lakes, and trees that can be used as scenery. Natural lighting will be used at the scheduled filming times, and artificial lighting may be needed as it gets darker or for indoor filming. Background noise from roads and people may be a issue at the public locations but can be removed in post-production as no sound will be recorded during filming.
Post modernism
Postmodernism rejects the idea of objective truth and universal values. It posits that what is perceived as truth is subjective and interpreted differently by individuals. In a postmodern world, the line between reality and imagination is blurred, as the media plays a large role in shaping beliefs and perceptions. Postmodern culture lacks new ideas and tends to recycle and reference old trends, as society becomes immersed in simulations and mediations of reality presented by technology like mobile phones.
Props
The document lists props needed for a production of The Fray song "You Found Me" including various cross jewelry pieces, a watch, fake tattoo, letter, dark clothes, cigarette, lighter, SD cards, camera equipment and a tripod.

This document discusses the increasing involvement of major U.S. academic health centers and teaching hospitals in offshore clinical, education, and research activities. It profiles the offshore activities of 16 institutions and categorizes them into three clusters based on the scale of their activities. It also presents a four-stage framework for how institutions typically develop offshore programs, ranging from educational programs to owning and operating clinical, research, and educational facilities abroad. The document finds that while some institutions have benefited from offshore activities, developing truly global academic health centers requires a major long-term commitment and comes with uncertainties.

This document summarizes the findings of a community engagement project in North East Glasgow that aimed to identify the needs of local people in terms of making suicide safer communities. The engagement identified 7 priority areas: access to immediate suicide support, being listened to, suicide awareness/education, follow-up support, the value of lived experience, support for allies/supporters, and awareness of services. Recommendations focus on support for those with lived experience, outreach, allies/supporters, GPs, crisis support services, and a community theatre project.
Feminist critique
The documentary "MissRepresentation" discusses issues that women face in society and how media portrays them. It highlights that society often sees women as sexual objects rather than considering their intellectual skills. The documentary shows how media presents women and how society expects them to look extremely thin with flat stomachs like models in magazines. This causes women from a young age to become more self-conscious about their appearance. Statistics show more women are undergoing surgeries to attain unrealistic body standards portrayed in edited and airbrushed magazines.
Media Representation of Women- Gender Studies.pptx
Historically, media representations of women have often been limited to stereotypical roles such as caregivers, homemakers, or romantic interests. Women are frequently objectified and sexualized in media portrayals, reducing them to their physical appearance and reinforcing narrow beauty standards. This can contribute to body image issues, low self-esteem, and unhealthy relationships among women and girls.Women are often underrepresented in media, particularly in leadership roles, STEM fields, and other traditionally male-dominated areas. When they are represented, they may be portrayed as exceptions or tokens rather than as fully developed characters with agency and complexity.Media representations of women often intersect with other aspects of identity such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, and disability. Intersectional analysis reveals how these intersecting identities shape women's experiences and opportunities in media portrayals. Women from marginalized groups may face additional layers of stereotypes and discrimination.Feminist scholars, activists, and media watchdogs have long critiqued the representation of women in media and advocated for more diverse, inclusive, and empowering portrayals. This includes initiatives to increase the visibility of women's voices and stories, challenge stereotypes, and promote media literacy and critical thinking among audiences.Overall, media representation of women plays a powerful role in shaping societal attitudes and perceptions. Efforts to promote more diverse, authentic, and inclusive portrayals of women are essential for challenging gender stereotypes, promoting gender equality, and fostering a more equitable and inclusive media landscape. While there have been some improvements in recent years, including the emergence of strong female characters in film, television, and literature, significant challenges remain. Women continue to face systemic barriers to equal representation and opportunities in media industries, including issues of pay equity, workplace harassment, and lack of access to decision-making roles.
Gender inequality in media

Gender inequality in media
Gender inequality in media is a major issue that affects both men and women. Women are often portrayed more negatively and are underrepresented compared to men. In television commercials, women are usually depicted as homemakers, while men are shown as strong decision makers. Magazines also commonly objectify or stereotype women, such as focusing on their appearance, sexuality, or domestic roles. The music industry also exploits and degrades women, portraying them as sexual objects. To address these issues, advertising needs to avoid enforcing strict gender roles for children. Media representation of both women and men should be more equal and avoid negative stereotypes that can harm self-esteem and confidence. Laws and awareness campaigns are also needed to promote gender equality.
Presentation1
This document discusses various concepts related to representation of gender in media texts. It first defines representation and key aspects of identity that are represented, such as gender. It then discusses Laura Mulvey's concept of the "Male Gaze" and how film and media can access a viewer's subconscious desires through representations that entice the male audience. Finally, it discusses how all representations are constructed rather than objective reality and how gender is often represented through stereotypical portrayals of women in dresses and men in suits throughout media texts.
Feminism
Feminists seek to challenge unequal power structures and gender roles in society. They argue that society is patriarchal, meaning it is dominated by male rule and power. The media plays a key role in shaping dominant ideas about appropriate gender roles and stereotypes. Traditional stereotypes present femininity as caring, nurturing, emotional and passive, while masculinity is depicted as tough, rational, and active. However, some argue newer stereotypes have simply replaced old ones without truly empowering women. Feminist movements have aimed to challenge these stereotypes and fight for women's social, political, and legal equality.

The document discusses the representation of gender in the film Shatterproof. It notes that in many noir films, the femme fatale is represented as a mysterious and seductive woman who charms men into dangerous situations. However, in Shatterproof, the femme fatale Leo Newton subverts this by being bisexual. The document also discusses how representations in media become familiar over time and feel natural. It analyzes how representations of women have changed from traditional noir films to neo-noir, with femmes fatales in neo-noir portrayed more as purely evil. Shatterproof further subverts expectations by representing the main women, Myra Frost and Leo Newton, as strong-willed individuals who dominate scre

Feminism
Feminism seeks to challenge patriarchal power structures and change perceptions of women. Feminists criticize how mass media reinforce patriarchal ideology through gender stereotypes. They view media as contributing to ideas of masculinity and femininity. While gender roles have changed over time, media still presents disempowering stereotypes of women's bodies and sexuality. Various feminist theorists have examined how media objectifies and sexualizes women from the male gaze. Feminism has progressed through several waves focusing on social, political, and cultural equality and empowerment of women.
Representation investigation
Representation refers to how media texts portray people, groups, or concepts through signs and symbols. All media is a constructed representation rather than a true reflection of reality. Laura Mulvey was an influential representation theorist who coined the term "male gaze" to describe how most films are viewed from the perspective of a heterosexual male, which often relegates women to the status of objects. Her theory is particularly relevant to analyzing representations of gender in the horror genre, where women are commonly portrayed as beautiful yet weak objects for the male gaze.

It notes that the majority of directors and executive positions are held by men, resulting in an imbalance in the types of stories told and topics covered. Female directors are more likely to portray feminist themes and accurate depictions of issues like abuse. The concept of the "male gaze" is introduced, where women are often depicted as sexual objects from a heterosexual male perspective. The document argues for the importance of the "female gaze" to reject this objectification and portray compelling female characters. It notes the need for a balance in representation that empowers women without engaging in "forced feminism" or internalized misogyny. The author plans to incorporate these
Representations of Women (blog version of class slides)
The document discusses representations of gender in children's books called Little Miss/Mr. Men. It notes that the titles represent notions of femininity and masculinity, with female characters like Little Miss Tidy focusing on cleaning, while male characters like Mr. Busy are fast, productive and efficient. While Little Miss Busy and Mr. Busy seem equal at first, her duties are domestic while his accomplishments are building a house, showing differing gender roles are still constructed even for young audiences.

Representation of women
The document discusses the representation of gender and women in media. It notes that gender is a key category used to sort people and influences our identities. It also states that representations of women in media often focus on beauty, sexuality, and relationships rather than independence or intellect. Women are commonly portrayed as passive, part of a group, and conforming to stereotypes, with little reflection of reality.
Theories related to media and women
The document discusses several theories related to how women are portrayed in media through a masculine lens, known as the "male gaze". It begins by explaining Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze in film and how women are often depicted as sexual objects for male pleasure. It then outlines the three perspectives of the male gaze: that of the creator, characters, and audience. Later sections discuss additional related concepts like the feminist theory of objectification and oppositional gaze. The document provides an overview of feminist theories in communication and media studies, focusing on examining gender and power dynamics in communicative texts.
The Feminist Theory
Feminist theory explores how gender inequality is portrayed in media such as film. Horror films of the 1970s-1980s often objectified and brutalized female characters in misogynistic ways. However, the "final girl" theory introduced the idea of a female hero character who survives confronting the villain. Still, women were often depicted as "nerdy virgins" who had to behave morally. The Bechdel test, which measures female representation in films, found that 43% of films fail to portray women in a meaningful way by having no more than one named female character or conversations not focused on men. While progress has been made, many films still revolve around male stories and perspectives.
Feminism
The document discusses feminist critique of how women are represented in media. It argues that media often portrays women in a negative way, such as sex objects in movies or focusing on their appearance rather than the content of their message as news anchors. This kind of representation discourages women from pursuing careers dominated by men and perpetuates the idea of unequal gender roles. Changing negative media portrayals of women could help advance gender equality by challenging social norms about what roles are appropriate for each gender.
University of Southampton presentation
This document summarizes a lecture on gender representations in media and why they still matter. It discusses how gender equality has improved in some ways but still lags in other areas like pay inequality. It covers the history of feminist movements and analyses of media from early TV to today. It analyzes how media portrays women, from "happy housewives" to increased sexualization and focus on bodies. It discusses the challenges of determining what media representations are sexist and the impacts on women's opportunities. In conclusion, while overt stereotypes have reduced, more subtle sexism remains widespread and affects women's lives and career prospects.
Fem-vertising: A feminist approach in adverting
The document discusses the feminist approach to analyzing portrayals of women in advertising over time. It provides context on the waves of feminism and the goals of each wave. It also summarizes several studies that analyzed the shifting depictions of women in magazines from the 1950s to 2000s, noting that while women have more roles today, sexism and objectification still exist. The document also discusses how some feminist magazines and campaigns challenged sexist advertising and promoted alternative portrayals of women.
Process document
This document describes an interactive experience called "Inside the Ring" that examines how women around the world struggle for empowerment against cultural norms. It is inspired by the stories of three female boxers fighting gender stereotypes. The experience uses boxing as a metaphor for how women are perpetually struggling between proving themselves and complying with expectations of femininity. It aims to start a dialogue about how cultural ideologies of femininity can be oppressive to women in both developing and developed countries. Prototypes include narratives capturing the struggles and transformations of female characters from different cultures who use boxing for empowerment.
Research
The document discusses representation of women in film and media. It notes that most films are directed by men and that female directors often only direct one film. Films directed by women are more likely to portray feminist themes accurately. The "male gaze" refers to depicting women from a heterosexual male perspective, often as sexual objects. While representation of women has improved, the male gaze is still prevalent. Forced or extreme "feminism" can also be counterproductive. The document advocates for a balanced representation of women's empowerment and experiences without shaming or stereotyping. It analyzes the TV show Reign for its portrayal of trauma and recovery through lighting, framing, and the characters finding strength in each other.

Evualtion
The document provides an evaluation of a group's media project which was a music video for the song "You Found Me" by The Fray. The group researched the band and genre to conform their video to conventions of indie/piano rock music videos. Their video included establishing shots, close-ups, and rural/city scenes. It challenges conventions by not focusing on the singer and including religious symbols and a crow representing hope at the end. The album cover and magazine ad effectively relate to the video through images and font.

Annotation
The poster promotes a band's music video using their name stylized in an indie rock font over a layered white background for a 3D effect. Below is the song title in the same font to link it to the band name, along with a positive quote from a teacher review and words in bold capital letters urging viewers to watch the video.
Marxism
The documents discuss concepts related to Marxism and its portrayal in The Hunger Games. Marxism is based on the political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that formed the basis of communism. The Hunger Games takes place in a totalitarian nation divided into districts and controlled by the Capitol. Each year, two representatives from each district must fight to the death in the televised Hunger Games. In the story, the wealthy Capitol citizens are disinterested in the tributes until Katniss hits her target with archery, showing the class divide that reflects Marxist principles.
Iconic shots
1) The first shot establishes the location of Liverpool Street Station, which was chosen to fit with the convention of busy city locations in indie rock music videos.
2) A close-up shot emphasizes a character playing with a cross necklace, symbolizing the underlying message of longing for God.
3) Shots were selected to directly link the visuals to lyrics from the song, including an over-the-shoulder shot shown as an example.
Magazine Cover Analysis

For the first version, the band name is featured prominently in a bold, rock-inspired font at the top to attract viewers. Below is the name of the single, and release information is included in white text. A review quote is also added as is common for such advertisements. The second version keeps the black and white color scheme common for the genre. The quote is shortened to avoid copyright issues and rough, industrial photographs relate to the band's music video imagery.
Contribution to the Project
1) The student contributed to both the pre-production and production stages of creating a music video for a class project. They divided tasks like storyboarding, location scouting, and lyric interpretation between group members.
2) The student took on the main acting role in the music video, being responsible for their character's props, outfit, and scenes. Other group members shared filming and directing duties.
3) The group edited the final music video together, taking turns leading the editing process but making all decisions as a group. They also collaborated on ancillary presentation materials like Photoshop designs.
Media question2
This document summarizes how the media product develops conventions of indie/rock music videos. It films in city settings like many indie rock videos analyze. It includes symbols like crosses to subtly portray a message of searching for God. The final scene reveals an unknown character paired with a crow taking flight, symbolizing being found and free to live. Sound transfers from nondiegetic to diegetic by showing a character listening to the song through headphones, giving it a fuzzy, indie rock effect. The product develops conventions while personalizing elements like symbols and scenes to achieve its intended feel.
Questionnaire analysis
The document provides feedback from a questionnaire about a music video created by the author and their media group. 20 people who previously answered a questionnaire were asked questions about how well the music video followed Goodwin's six key conventions for music videos. The feedback was generally positive, with most respondents agreeing the video included genre characteristics and clear relationships between the lyrics, music, and visuals. However, some aspects like the "notion of looking" were not as obvious to all viewers. The author notes areas they could improve if creating the video again.
Music video feedback questionnaire
The document is a music video feedback questionnaire that asks 5 questions to evaluate different technical and creative aspects of a music video. It asks whether the video follows common music video conventions regarding its genre, relationship between lyrics and visuals, music and visuals, record label characteristics, and references to looking. It also questions the camera work, sound quality, video quality, and appropriate use of effects and transitions.
Music genre questionnaire result analysis
The document summarizes the results of a music genre questionnaire completed by 20 people. It found that most respondents were female aged 16-20. The questionnaire aimed to determine preferences around music genres and features of music videos. The results showed equal popularity for indie rock, pop, and R&B genres. When watching music videos, respondents most valued mise en scene and storyline. This information will help the author choose an indie rock song and develop their own music video that focuses on visuals and narrative.
Music Genre Questionnaire
This document is a music genre questionnaire that asks the respondent for their gender, age range, favorite music genre which includes options like rock, R&B, pop, indie rock, classical, folk, and other, and the first thing they look for in a music video which includes options like storyline, characters, mise en scene, effects, and location.
Permission Letter
A group of A Level students are requesting permission from Epic Records to use the song "You Found Me" by The Fray in their A Level media coursework. The students plan to feature the song as background music in their original footage for the coursework. They have written to request permission regarding use of the copyrighted song.

On the first day, the crew will meet at Enfield Town Station and take footage at Liverpool Street Station from 10am to 2pm and outside the station from 2-2:30pm. They will then travel to Hyde Park to film between 3-5pm. The second day involves another meeting at Enfield Town Station, then filming at Liverpool Street Station from 9:55am to 1pm and in Hyde Park from 2-4pm. The same crew and equipment will be used each day.
Risks
The document lists various hazards that could occur during a film shoot and proposes control measures to mitigate the risks. It identifies hazards such as bad weather, actors not showing up, equipment issues like low battery or damage, losing equipment, group members not attending, lack of storage space, and accidental deletion of footage. Control measures proposed include scheduling backup filming days, ensuring contact details are kept, charging equipment in advance, researching proper use, assigning responsibility for equipment, and filming clips multiple times as backups.

The document contains a shot list for filming a music video. It includes 49 shots with descriptions of the camera movements, actions, locations, timings, and equipment needed for each shot. The shots include establishing shots of locations like Liverpool Street Station, close-ups of characters, mid shots of people interacting, and long shots showing scenery from different perspectives to illustrate the lyrics of the song.
