Teaser analysis
This document is an advanced production-research-trailer record sheet for the film Saw 3D. It provides details about the teaser trailer such as questions it raises about why people are being tortured and what the narrator means by his work leading up to this. It also notes the fictional film genre and includes a shot list describing various camera shots like zooms, pans, and close-ups used in the teaser that imply the film will be gory and bloody with fast cuts and flashing images. The document aims to analyze the teaser trailer and understand the themes, story, and filmmaking techniques employed.
Editing in television drama
This document provides an overview of a two-part drama called "Sex Traffic" that depicts the story of two young Moldovan sisters who are kidnapped and trafficked through Europe to London where they face betrayal and fight for their lives. It also includes a brief excerpt from the first 15 minutes of the drama and recommends watching more on the 4oD platform.
Locations recce
This document discusses three potential filming locations for a school media project trailer:
1) Lizzie's House, where most of the trailer will be filmed due to its variety of rooms and proximity to other locations. Potential hazards include traffic and cable clutter.
2) The Leg of Mutton pub, chosen to portray a stereotypical soap opera setting. Permission must be obtained from the pub management.
3) Ashtead Common, where a murder scene will be filmed. Potential hazards include traffic when traveling to the location and public interference. Permission from the public will be required.
Locations & pictures (1)
This document summarizes various potential filming locations for a school media project, a trailer for a soap opera. For each location, it describes what scene would be filmed there, potential hazards, and proposed solutions to address those hazards. The locations include a street to set the scene, a coffee shop for a discussion scene, a messy bedroom to represent a drug addict's home, a school kitchen for a baking scene, woods for a flashback murder scene, a living room for a domestic argument scene, an alleyway for a conflict scene, and a pond for establishing shots of the picturesque town that contrast with the drama. Potential hazards addressed include traffic, spills, knives, slippery paths, and interfering pedestrians or vehicles.
Locations For Filming
This document provides locations and potential hazards/risks for filming scenes for a media project on the soap opera "Walton Hill". Locations include Walton Road for establishing shots, The Grey Dove cafe for a conversation scene, Johnny's messy bedroom for a drug scene, the school's FoodTech room for a cake baking scene, Waltonwoods for a flashback scene, Johnny's living room for an argument scene, an alleyway for a conflict scene, and Merepond for establishing shots of the town. Each location lists potential hazards/risks such as traffic, spills, or slippery surfaces and proposed solutions to address the risks.
Locations & Pictures
This document outlines various potential filming locations for a school media project and identifies potential hazards and risks at each location. It discusses filming establishing shots on Walton Road but notes the risk of traffic. It also mentions filming a discussion scene at a coffee shop called The Grey Dove after obtaining permission, but hot drinks could pose burn risks. Another scene of a drug addict's messy bedroom is proposed, but the untidy house may cause accidents. The document considers other locations like the school's food tech room for a baking scene, local woods for a flashback scene, various houses for indoor scenes, and a pond for establishing shots, outlining safety precautions for each.
Inspiration from other media
The document discusses taking inspiration from the Danish film director Thomas Vinterberg and his Dogme 95 film movement. Some key rules of Dogme 95 that will be followed include using only hand-held cameras to film where the action takes place, and avoiding superficial actions like violence. Specifically, the naturalistic style of Vinterberg's film The Celebration will be influential, with its documentary-like camera movements and sense of realism. Drawing from this style could suit the avant-garde nature of the music in the project. One scene will reference Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by depicting the protagonist with a mask tied around his neck, alluding to a past crime through repetition and mystery
IDEAS FOR USE OF CAMERA
The document discusses camera shots and techniques that will be used in a slasher film trailer. It will include close-ups of victims' fearful faces and jump scares with the villain's mask. High and low angle shots will be used to portray the villain's power and the victim's vulnerability. Handheld and point-of-view shots from behind following teenagers will create a sense that someone is watching them. A Canon 700D camera on a tripod will capture tracking shots.

Storyboard explained
The document provides instructions for summarizing scenes from a movie using a box format with three squares to represent three shots: 1) A reaction shot of a character surprised by something said. 2) A two shot of two characters glaring at each other. 3) A shot of one character shrugging off the other. Each box should include the scene number, shot description, any effects or sounds, and ignore numbered ordering until all boxes are completed.
Evaluation question 7
The document discusses various cinematography techniques used in filmmaking such as the 180 degree rule, match on action, and shot/reverse shot. It provides examples of how these techniques were applied in shooting scenes for a film about a doctor's killing spree. Specifically, it discusses using the 180 degree rule to film the doctor driving away from the hospital to begin his murders and showing the casino from his point of view. It also explains using match on action to show the doctor preparing to leave work and his first steps outside the casino for a murder. However, shot/reverse shot was not needed since only one character was present in the opening scene.
Lesson 8 9
The document discusses watching the first 15 minutes of the 2004 drama film "Sex Traffic" which is about two young Moldovan sisters who are kidnapped and trafficked through Europe. It then provides examples of different film editing techniques like cut, shot reverse shot, match on action, and fade to black and discusses how they are used to transition between scenes and shots in dramatic films.
Filming techniques
The 180-degree rule establishes an imaginary line called the 'axis' that the camera cannot cross between a subject and the background to avoid disorienting the audience. Shot-reverse-shot is a common filming technique that alternates between two characters having a conversation. Match on action ensures continuity between cuts by keeping elements like positioning and actions the same.

3) Ashtead Common, where a murder scene will be filmed. Potential risks include traffic when traveling between locations and allergies to the outdoor surroundings. Public notification is needed.
9 still analysis of double indemnity
This document discusses Universal Studios, an international film distribution company. It also references several stills from a neo-noir film that depict conventions of the genre, such as men in trench coats and shadows, neon signs, smoking, criminals confessing to murders, and characters having flashbacks.
Evidence Of Filming
The document summarizes the planning that went into filming a project. It discusses how the group visited locations in advance to determine suitability. They also used the time to practice with equipment and different shot types. The document then provides examples of specific shots that were planned, such as a shallow focus shot, but ended up not being used due to not fitting together well in the final edit. It concludes by explaining that an over-the-shoulder shot was originally planned but replaced with a shot of a character running away to create more suspense.

Question 3
Tom collected feedback on his music video from his class and through uploading it to YouTube. The feedback was overall very positive, with comments praising the professional quality of the video. This gave Tom confidence to continue making music videos. While the feedback was positive, Tom recognized some areas for improvement, such as adding more variety through a costume change, ensuring the lens was clean for each shot, and including more shots of the studio location to avoid repetition. The positive feedback and self-critique have motivated Tom to improve his skills and standards for future music videos.
Target audience
Ed Sheeran's target audience ranges from teenagers aged 13-27. As a 23-year-old artist, he is able to personally connect with his audience. He is influenced by rap and grime artists like Eminem, attracting younger fans with his lyrical flow and emotive style. The majority of Ed Sheeran's fans are teenage girls, drawn to his love-focused songs delivered through catchy melodies. While most fans are female, relatable male experiences discussed in his songs appeal to male listeners as well. Ed grew his fan base through open mic performances and social media, uploading videos of himself playing music online which increased his publicity and allowed him to gain more fans.
Music video production shedule
This document contains Aaron Cork's music video production schedule. It lists the various scenes being filmed over multiple dates from June to December 2015, including location shots of train journeys, a cathedral, and countryside scenes. It also includes club scenes, wake up scenes at Aaron's house, and a time lapse car journey. For each scene, it specifies the location, required crew/cast, and necessary equipment such as cameras, memory cards, phones, and other accessories.
Shot list
This shot list contains 15 shots for a music video including establishing shots of locations like a train, cathedral and nightclub as well as close-ups of a sign, door opening and mobile phone playing music. Shots will be captured from a camera, tripod, iPhone and GoPro during a car journey and feature an actor walking, waking up and going to bed in various locations.
Location recce
The document lists and describes 4 potential filming locations for a music video: Salisbury station for a train scene representing travel; the filmmaker's upstairs bedroom for scenes of waking up and falling asleep; their spare bedroom where the existing environment would help achieve realism; and a night club called Glam to feature clubbing and partying to match the dance track of the song.
Ideas drafting
I showed my song to my friend Aaron, who suggested filming a pan shot of a fairground ride to relate to the feel-good drum and bass song. I want to focus on a heterosexual couple enjoying themselves on the ride in slow motion to create emotion. When I showed the song to Tom, he liked the acoustic beginning and genre but didn't provide video ideas, just enthusiasm, so I will continue developing my own ideas.
Ed sheeran touch and go - lyrics
The song is about a man who is struggling in his relationship with his partner. He wakes up in the middle of the night with her still in his bed, but things have been left unsaid between them. He wants to know how long they can continue in this uncertain "touch and go" situation, where he questions their feelings but says he will stop everything for her if she wants him to stay. The chorus reflects on how his soul needs clarity on how long they can maintain this dynamic before it breaks his heart again.

Ringwood town will be used to film a music video because it is the nearest location to the filmmaker, saving time traveling to the filming site. The town has both urban and rural areas that can be used to match different moods in the chosen song. Most of the filming will take place around The White Hart, which has an urban setting that can help convey the main message of the song. A small portion will also be filmed near The Alice Lisle for its suitable urban areas that are well-suited for the selected song.
Music video floor plan
This document provides floor plans for two filming locations for a music video. The first location is Salisbury station, where scene two will be filmed as indicated by an arrow. The second location is the author's house, where the majority of the first song verse will be filmed using a variety of shots as the mise-en-scene is already in place.
Costume media
The costume chosen is comfortable for the long filming time and stylish to fit the modern, casual music video. The main actor, Callum Groves, was selected because he is confident and won't get camera shy, allowing the director to focus fully on him. Only one actor also makes filming more efficient.
The props include a mobile phone, headphones, car, car keys, alcoholic beverages, hat, bed, pillow and clothes to move the story of a character listening to music and spending a night out.
Target audience
Ed Sheeran's target audience ranges from teenagers aged 13-27, with most of his fans being female teenagers. His self-written songs about love, life, and loss appeal to both males and females through catchy melodies and relatable narratives about personal experiences. Sheeran was able to build his fan base through extensive self-promotion, performing many gigs and uploading videos to YouTube, until he was discovered in Los Angeles by Jamie Foxx after a few local performances.

Digipack and poster analysis
Ed Sheeran's album cover features a realistic chalk-like image of his face to grab audience attention as he is the unique selling point. The numeric '+' logo creates brand recognition. On the back, the bold white text stands out against the orange background, giving insight into Ed Sheeran's singer-songwriter music style. It also lists the songs to help audiences decide whether to buy. The poster again shows Ed Sheeran's quirky smiling image for recognition and reinforces his name and release date to notify audiences.
Genre research
Singer-songwriters can trace their origins to ancient oral traditions where poems would be performed as songs. After the invention of printing, songs would be written and performed by traveling musicians. This tradition evolved into contemporary folk music culture. Some famous modern singer-songwriters include Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Johnny Cash, and Adele. Awards in this genre include Best Male/Female Artist and Album/Record of the Year. Singer-songwriters typically perform solo with just a guitar or piano and write compositions focused on personal or political topics. There is no set style or clothing for this genre, as artists have their own unique senses of style, but singer-songwriters generally project a more relaxed attitude than others in
Target audience
This document summarizes the target audience for drum & bass music events. The target audience is ages 16-25, who tend to have more free time and disposable income to spend on music and tickets. A typical member of this audience is depicted as a heterosexual male, wearing standard fashionable clothing like a t-shirt and jeans. They often enjoy amateur DJing and getting together with friends to make music, inspired by professional drum & bass DJs. The target audience also includes heterosexual females who dress casually in jeans and jumpers, share similar interests to males, and often have many male friends.
Tom fearon as pre production tasks feedback sheet
This document provides feedback from a teacher to a student, Tom Fearon, on his pre-production tasks for a film project. The teacher indicates that for many of the tasks, including script, storyboard, shotlist, locations, costumes, props, actors, and production schedule, the student had not originally uploaded any work. The teacher leaves comments on how to improve the work that was included. The student has since uploaded work for most of the tasks, but is still missing a shotlist. The teacher gives an initial mark of 2 out of 20 but indicates the work is now at a level 2 after improvements, with a final mark of 11 out of 20.
Tom fearon as coursework overall marksheet
Thomas Fearon received marks of 11/20 for planning, 50/60 for his main construction task, and 13/20 for his evaluation. His construction task showed excellence in technical skills and creative use of mise en scene, suspenseful editing, appropriate footage, and balanced sound and dialogue. His evaluation provided thoughtful analysis of his film choices and representation of social groups, explained why a particular film studio would best distribute his film using comparisons, and reflected on what he learned through the process, though some answers could have provided more detail. Overall he received a total mark of 74/100 and a grade of B.
Question 1
The document analyzes the opening frames of a horror film to show how it conforms to genre conventions. Key shots include an unfocused house view to build suspense without revealing details, beach shots to establish the eerie setting, and character introductions using a first-person handheld style similar to popular horror films. Random cuts to a character running and panting are meant to hint at danger and potentially scare viewers. The opening ends by cutting to black for three seconds of uncertainty before revealing the main title in a style comparable to other horror films.
Question 4 & 5
This document profiles a typical 16-24 year old male. It describes his casual style of dress including scruffy hair, plain tops, and baggy jeans. It lists leisure activities he enjoys like video games, sports, social media, and films. It also outlines things he dislikes such as classical music, reading, and spending a lot of money. The document then shifts to discussing feedback on film openings from fellow students. It notes both positive and negative feedback, with the key criticism being that the film titles dragged on too long. The feedback will help the author improve and maintain a high standard.
Question 3
Blumhouse Productions would be a good media institution to distribute the author's media product. Blumhouse specializes in low-budget horror films and has pioneered a model of independent studio filmmaking. It has had success distributing films like Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and Sinister - all of which the author's film can be compared to based on use of handheld cameras, poster/opening sequence similarities, or haunted house themes. Blumhouse turns low-budget films into profitable franchises, as evidenced by Paranormal Activity's $200 million return on a $15,000 budget. The author believes Blumhouse could execute their vision and potentially turn it into a successful horror film franchise.
