However, the document notes that not all props could be accessed to fully elaborate on their intended symbolism in the film.
New tv drama pitch presentation
This document provides an overview and initial ideas for a new teen drama TV show. It introduces 5 main characters who are high school friends where one goes missing over the summer. The opening scene would show the group reuniting for the first time since her disappearance. Character profiles describe each person's personality and struggles. Initial branding ideas focus on dark, moody colors and a sharp font to convey mystery surrounding the missing friend. The website would include quizzes, character interviews and a podcast to engage viewers beyond the episodes.
Evaluation Question Two
The document discusses how the media product represents two social groups:
1) The female victim is represented as innocent, helpless, and vulnerable. She is given childlike clothes and minimal makeup to show her innocence. High camera angles make her seem small and helpless.
2) The gang members are represented as threatening, menacing, and evil. They wear dark clothing and have serious facial expressions and laid back body language to seem casually threatening. Low camera angles make them appear powerful. Both social groups take inspiration from characters in films like Taken, Sin City, and Kill Bill.
Plot
This document provides details on the plot and characters for a film promotional package. It will focus on the seven deadly sins, specifically Lust, who will be the main protagonist. Lust is depicted as mysterious and mad. Her step-sister Dawn, inspired by the Lord of the Rings character Galadriel, has hope and devotion. Dawn's lover Conric is meant to seem strong and heroic. The colors red, yellow, and turquoise will represent Lust, Dawn and Conric respectively. The proposed title is "Dawn of Devotion" to capture Dawn's love for Conric.
Evaluation 1
This document discusses the filmmaking conventions used in a student media project. It summarizes that the filmmakers initially struggled with continuity conventions but re-filmed scenes to improve editing. Maintaining shot continuity with techniques like the 180-degree rule helped the film's professional quality. The film contains elements of thriller, drama, and fantasy genres in its story of a bullied girl who uses magic for revenge. It draws similarities to the films Carrie and Mean Girls in its narrative but does not include parody or pastiche. The document argues the film relates most to Uses and Gratifications audience theory in how viewers could benefit from it.
Question 1 part b
The document analyzes a film through several structuralist and narrative theories. It discusses how the film follows a linear narrative structure by revealing a secret over time until the twist ending. Initially, the ghost girl seems like the villain but the mother is revealed as the true villain. The film also features a false hero in the mother and creates initial confusion over the good and evil characters, as predicted by Todorov and Levi-Straus's theories. Barthes' theory of action codes is also reflected in how the adoption papers establish Amy's backstory without dialogue. The film challenges Faludi's idea that media portrays career women as unable to enjoy motherhood by featuring a working mother who provides for Amy.

This document discusses how the media product adheres to or challenges conventions of real media. It kept conventions like continuity, the 180-degree rule, and the 30-degree rule to give the film a professional look. It has elements of fantasy, thriller, and drama genres but is primarily a thriller due to its intense music and storyline. The film draws similarities to "Carrie" through its storyline of a bullied girl seeking revenge, and to "Mean Girls" through its portrayal of school bullying, but does not include parody or pastiche. The film relates most to "Uses and Gratifications" audience theory as viewers could gain socialization, education, and tension from watching.Genre analysis
The document discusses film genres and their codes and conventions. It outlines several popular genres like action, horror, drama, and comedy. For each genre, it provides examples of films that exemplify common codes and conventions. For example, it notes that James Bond films commonly feature advanced technology and a female character who assists Bond. For horror films, it points out that the Saw series typically leaves victim's bodies at the scene. It also discusses elements often found in chick flicks like a focus on women's issues and romance storylines. Overall, the document analyzes how genres are defined by consistent narrative elements and techniques seen across films.

Pitch presentation 2
The TV drama pitch is for a crime-horror genre show called "Endless". It follows two girls who have been kidnapped and held hostage in a room filled with creepy images and clues. Their friends try to find and save them, unaware of the girls' ancestral cult involvement. The opening montage will set the dark and mysterious scene in the room through blurred images, dramatic music and disturbing clues. The branding for "Endless" will utilize a serif font in red, black and white colors to create an eerie and suspenseful atmosphere matching the crime-horror genre throughout the show and marketing materials.
Photo evaluation
This document discusses and analyzes several photos taken of a model for a magazine story. The photos aim to depict both the "bright" and "evil" sides of the model's character. One photo shows her as a schoolgirl with glasses and books to represent her geeky side. Another darker photo emphasizes candles and books to depict her supernatural powers. A third close-up shot highlights her innocent facial expression but disheveled clothes and makeup to signify her evil side. The document evaluates how each photo could be used and modified for the magazine's front cover or poster.
genre conventions research
This document discusses the key elements of genre, characters, audience, setting, iconography, narrative, and style for a mystery chick-flick film genre. The genre focuses on themes of death, jealousy, trust and romance. Characters connect with the target teenage and female audience. The setting takes place in a luxurious villa. Iconography includes makeup, heels and shopping bags. The narrative uses enigma and five stages of storytelling. The style draws from films like "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Legally Blonde" with close-ups, slow motion and focus on love and death.
Question 1 part b
1. The film uses techniques like slow motion, time freeze, and color filters to draw attention to important symbolic elements and create a sense of confusion and mystery for the audience.
2. The story has a linear narrative structure where a secret is gradually revealed until the final twist ending. It starts with Amy being fostered by a seemingly caring single mother, but strange events suggest something more sinister.
3. Various film theories help analyze the narrative, including a twist revealed through Todorov's model, a false hero in the mother character, and initially confusing representations of good and evil addressed through Levi-Strauss and Barthes' theories.
Genre Research
The document discusses genre choices for a film project. The genres chosen are thriller-romance. Typical settings for these genres include a small village, college campus, or house where tension can be built in dark rooms or corners and romantic moments captured in serene places. Common characters are a protagonist female and antagonist male whose conflict drives the thriller plot, along with two lovers for the romance. Iconography in thrillers focuses on location, costumes, makeup and hair to denote characters, while romances use voiceovers, symbolic props, and blending with another genre. Stylistic conventions include quick cuts, shadows, and music for thrillers versus slow motion, voiceovers, and happy endings for romances.
Compare how teenagers are represented in action fantasy films
This document compares the representations of teenagers in the films The Hunger Games and The Amazing Spiderman. In The Hunger Games, Katniss is portrayed as a strong, independent, and caring teenager who takes on adult responsibilities to provide for her family. She exhibits both emotional vulnerability as well as physical and emotional strength. In The Amazing Spiderman, Peter is depicted as a shy teenager who lacks confidence but finds courage and confidence through his superhero alter ego Spiderman, while still maintaining his caring nature. Both films aim to attract teenage audiences by portraying characters teenagers can relate to.
Cubs analysis
The short film Cubs focuses on teenage peer pressure and gang culture through the lens of British social realism. It follows a group of teenagers as they hope to be selected by the local gang's leader, Karl, to participate in an initiation ritual involving hunting a fox. Through stereotypical representations of the characters and their actions, the film examines the desire of the teens, especially main character Ben, to feel accepted by the gang. In the climax, Ben shoots the fox after being pressured by Karl, seemingly losing his innocence in the process. The film uses techniques like shaky camerawork, close-ups, and naturalistic dialogue and sounds to immerse the viewer in the gritty world it depicts.
4&5
The document discusses targeting a young audience aged 16+ for a crime thriller media product. It analyzes how the opening fits the thriller genre through its characters, iconography, narrative, themes, and similarities to other popular films like Batman Begins. Camerawork and music are discussed as part of the media language that builds suspense. Feedback from test audiences is also addressed, noting they enjoyed the engaging narrative but felt the chase scene could be more tense.
Analysing film paul
There are two main types of film analysis: genre analysis and auteur theory. Genre analysis examines codes and conventions, themes, characters, settings, narrative, iconography, and ideological messages within a film genre. Auteur theory posits that the director is the author of the film and creates an individual style or theme across multiple films. Films can be analyzed based on how they conform to or break conventions of their genre. For example, the film Leon breaks conventions by having the main character be a hitman who befriends a teenage girl, whereas a James Bond film follows typical action film conventions. Settings, characters, narratives, themes, and iconography all provide meaningful elements for analyzing a film's genre or director's style.
Film Poster Research
This poster summarizes the key elements of a movie poster for "The Hunger Games". It features an image of all the main characters to appeal to both male and female audiences. As a teaser poster, it does not include the movie's release date to avoid revealing information before the film is out. The target audience is described as unisex, aiming for both female viewers who may identify with the female lead Katniss Everdeen, and male viewers interested in the violence.
Creative investigation essay

While they conform to some stereotypes like hair color, their characterization and behaviors are portrayed positively. The document also analyzes how these films challenge Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze and Tessa Perkins' theory on stereotypes.

Film research killers
The document analyzes and compares film posters for Carrie and Scream 4. It summarizes that Carrie does not look like a typical killer as she is a young woman who was bullied in school and had an overbearing religious mother, which led to her killings. The Scream 4 poster features the typical killer trope of wearing a mask and using a knife. Both posters primarily feature the killer and aim to intrigue audiences about the backstories that drive the killers' actions.
Evaluation
The document discusses how the author's thriller represents certain social groups through its characters and plot. The main characters, a married couple named Jack and Lilly, conform to stereotypical gender roles - Jack is portrayed as dominant and secretive, hiding his real job as a hitman, while Lilly is innocent and naive, unaware of her husband's double life. These decisions were meant to give the audience what they wanted based on surveys. The thriller also suggests that older people are more likely victims, and that the villain will be a younger man portrayed in a dangerous light.

Film pitch for thriller film titles project
- 1. Film Pitch for Thriller Film Titles Project Title of Thriller Film This should conform to conventional titles and be fitting for your work. Lilith’s possessions Genre incl. Subgenre (where appropriate) Horror may be the overall genre but have you added a sub-genre or is has it be hybridised with another separate genre altogether? Psychological thriller Log Line 1-2 sentence description of your concept; descriptive. ‘The ring’ inspired with a twist of ‘The Grudge’. ‘Lilith’s possessions’ is a psychological thriller which focuses on a girl called Maria who becomes involved in her father’s job when he suddenly passes away (by looking at his confidential files). Maria attempts to continue his work by digging up unsolved cases from the past, she begins to realise what she loves may end up killing her. Synopsis Content should be roughly 3 detailed paragraphs outlining the content of the film from beginning to end. Be specific and don’t been ominous about the ending. Even though you’re doing the titles only, you should have a whole narrative planned out. Maria begins to mourn over the loss of her Dad and stumbles upon a cabinet full of files from his job. Maria opens a file titled ‘Case 13:18’ (which in the Book of revelations mentions an unholy beast). She carefully examines the file, reading word-by- word; everything mentioned on the papers and becomes shocked at what she finds. The file says about a young girl named Lilith who continuously ran away from her family home due to her parents not believing that she was seeing mysterious figures. Maria becomes intrigued in this mystery and arranges with her friends the following day to travel to the abandoned location that Lilith began her new life to find clues of how she had passed away. Maria and her friends stumble upon a box which Lilith had stored her secrets in. Her diary, photographs and drawings. I altered the genre of my film pitch, as previously this document had stated that this was a pitch for a horror film. Another improvement I made to my film pitch was changing ‘As she continues to dig up clues from the past’. I decided to make this alteration as for Maria just to dig up clues from the past did not make sense, by Maria continuing her father’s work, this shows that she is intrigued and also misses her father. In addition,I have also included more expressions and emotionsof characters withinmy filmpitch. Thisis as it allowsthe readerto understand the plotand characters more easily without knowingor seeingthe full narrative.
- 2. Before Maria’s friends could see, she pockets the diary leaving only the photographs and drawings. Maria’s friends begin to laugh about how psychotic and delusional Lilith was and begin to take pictures of Lilith’s possessions, rip and tear them apart. Later that night, Maria reads Lilith’s diary Lilith begins to appear in places that Maria is in as well as her friends. Lilith tries to break the curse or appearance of Maria by contacting her parents and finding out more about her. After continuing to research this file, Maria finds out that Lilith is Maria’s half-sister. Resources needed Camcorder Tripod Box Diary Photographs Drawings Files Filing cabinet Locations Abandoned house Abandoned street Houses Alley Park Characters Maria 2 x ‘friends’ Lilith Justification for your ideas – You need to explain how your ideas link to the genre, task and also your target audience. My trailer would follow a conventional thriller trailer as in the beginning, everything appears to be normal however, as the trailer continues the narrative would bring more tension and would create a dramatic climax. I would address my target audience by including characters of a similar age, this way the audience can relate and identify with a character in my trailer. The feedback that I received on this part of my film pitch was extremely helpful. I was given advice to have the narrative of Lilith having something to do with Maria’s Dad. Due to being advised to include something like this, I decided for Maria and Lilith to be half-sisters. This will add more enigma and drama to my thriller film. As I had stated before that Maria will be looking at her Dad’s files, I forgot to include the resource of a filing cabinet.
