Evaluation activity 5
The document discusses how the filmmaker attracted and addressed their audience in their film project. They began with a gentle title sequence in black and white to set a calm but intense mood. Close-up shots of the main character were used to connect with the audience and convey her emotions. Popular songs by Rihanna and Petey Pablo were chosen for the soundtrack because their music has a similar audience to the target audience for the film and relates to themes in the story. The film was inspired by Step Up but aims for a more niche teenage girl audience, whereas Step Up appealed to a broader family audience.
Adele
Adele's music video for "Someone Like You" uses visual elements to illustrate and amplify the sad, emotional lyrics. Scenes of Adele alone on a lonely path emphasize the mood of loneliness and sadness conveyed in the song. Close-ups of Adele's face as she lip-syncs allow the viewer to connect with her emotions. Shots that pan away from her or show her from behind emphasize the feelings of isolation in the lyrics. The nonlinear narrative and flashbacks also relate the sense of longing and memory in the song.
G eazy
The music video for G-Eazy's song "Marilyn" features elements typical of a rap song like fast-paced rapping over a beat about problems faced. Images in the video relate to lyrics about everything being alright and show a girl alone in an apartment or with the artist. The music varies from soft when the female singer performs to faster when the male raps. The artist is presented sympathetically as trying to rescue the relationship, and featuring another singer expands his audience. Females are not overtly voyeurized though the girl is shown in just underwear and a shirt in a bedroom. While not a typical rap video, it includes other conventions of the genre but avoids stereotypes by portraying
Nirvana smells like teen spirit
The music video for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" reflects the alternative rock genre through its dark and chaotic visuals ensuring something is always happening. The video varies its pace along with the changing speeds in the song. It portrays teenagers rebelling against being seen as "stupid" as referenced in the lyrics. There are close-ups of the artist to draw the audience's focus as the music increases in pace. The female performers are sexualized through tight outfits and body movements while other women wear revealing clothes in the background. The dark scenes and colors symbolize the teenage interests represented through the genre.

The document provides details on potential shots and scenes for a music video for the song "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's. It describes shots of the artist singing and playing guitar in the studio as well as scenes showing the female subject going about her daily life in New York City. Interspersed would be shots of the two together reminiscing about happy memories from their relationship. The video aims to depict the feelings of longing and missing someone through a blend of the artist's performance and scenes capturing the distance between the former couple.
La roux bullet proof
The music video for La Roux's "Bulletproof" uses many conventions of the electropop genre, including a unique and creative computer-animated set, a concept-based narrative, and experimental ideas. The visuals relate to the lyrics by showing the artist realizing a past relationship mistreated her. Shots of the artist singing and walking match the beat and pace of the song. Close-ups focus on the artist as the main subject with no other narrative elements. The style portrays an androgynous image rather than voyeurism, alluding to intertextuality through its futuristic tone and production design.
Music Video Analysis - Sia 'Elastic Hearts'
The music video for Sia's "Elastic Heart" tells the story of a father and daughter trapped in a cage. It uses interpretive dance and camerawork to metaphorically represent the emotional problems trapping the characters. The daughter initially rejects the father's attempts to connect but eventually helps him out of the cage, though he remains stuck, unable to fully escape his problems. The video uses the cage, drained colors, and stripped-down clothing to reflect the sadness and depression of the song, and cuts between shots of the characters' movements to match the song's structure and pace.

Weight loss prediction and wellness journey
While lifestyle accounts for up to 3/4 of healthcare costs, most people do not find exercise fun. Some have tried numerous diet and exercise programs with the primary goal of weight loss, only to fail and become discouraged, resulting in worse health outcomes over time. In this paper, we explore crucial elements in consumer engagement that can lead to improved health outcomes. We deploy data mining algorithms to understand the impacts of various interventions, such as social network, visual dashboard, event processing, games and challenges, on health outcomes using data obtained from a clinical trial. We explain what worked, what did not work, and why. More importantly, we describe salient attributes of social health games that are crucial in both consumer engagement and health outcomes.

2) They were shocked to see water gushing out and some fish dying on the floor, struggling to breathe.
3) After realizing they had to face the consequences, one friend suggested running away but they instead told their teacher what happened.
4) The teacher was angry and made them pay repair fees and replace the fish. They were also punished by their parents. This taught them an important lesson about taking responsibility for their actions.

Using Data Sets to Simulate Evolution within Complex Environments (Poster)
An agent-based model of evolution and adaption is presented with complex genomes, sexual and asexual reproduction. However, unlike other models, this has a purposefully complex environment. Individuals are spread over a 2D space upon which is projected a complex data set derived from observations of the real world. Energy extraction for the purposes of life and reproduction is achieved by the match between the genome and the data in its locality. In this model different genomes develop to exploit different parts of the space, with some genomes acquiring a greater generality than others. This model can be used to explore the trade-offs inherent between diversity, specialization and inter-breeding among individuals.

Camera shots analysis
The document analyzes camera shots in four music videos. For the first video, it notes that an initial close-up shot of a boy with blood on his face establishes the poor living conditions in a third world country. Establishing shots provide more context and empathy. Later shots highlight problems with gang culture. The second video's first mid-shot establishes the setting and implies themes of female empowerment and unity. Flamingos used as a metaphor also represent togetherness. A long shot of a girl walking on water suggests great power and ability to achieve the impossible through unity.

Original music video review
The music video for "Down by the River" by Milky Chance features both performance and narrative elements. Throughout, the artists are seen singing in a forest while various painted and isolated scenes unfold. The forest setting reinforces themes of loneliness and isolation from the lyrics. Other locations like a pathway, abandoned railway, and campfire further illustrate these themes. The costumes of the artists and children are simple, and lighting remains overcast, conveying a somber tone that matches the lyrics. Props like a teddy bear, monkey, and bicycle enhance the visuals and childlike aspects of the video without significant symbolic meaning.

Shotlist
The document describes different types of camera shots that could be used when filming a band playing in a room, including close-ups of the singer, high and low angle shots of the band members, long shots to show random acts, 2 shots of the singer with another band member, extreme close-ups of faces, mid shots of individuals and teachers, and panning and wide shots of the full band playing.
Risk assessment upload version
This document outlines several risks from recreational activities and recommends prevention measures. It identifies risks such as injury from jumping with a guitar, being hit by a baseball bat hitting a water balloon, collisions during a band playing in a small room, and eye injuries from water balloons. The prevention measures include keeping a safe distance from others, facing away from balloons, maintaining space between musical instruments, and closing eyes when hit with a water balloon.
Conventions of cd album covers
The document discusses conventions for CD album covers, comparing two examples. It notes that one cover, Linkin Park's Living Things, uses a minimalist design with only the necessary information. The other, Muse's The Resistance, uses bright colors and a blurred image of the band to draw attention. Both covers place the album title and band name in small, modest font, likely because they are well-known bands that do not need to advertise heavily.

First analysis
- 1. Detailed analysis of a similar media product to my chosen genre Alternative Rock Artist: Linkin Park Music Video: Numb Camerawork: There are a lot of close ups used to emphasise the facial expressions of both the singer and the actress that is being used in the video, as the song is an emotional one. Tracking is used to follow the actress through her school and show what her every day life consists off there, showing different uses of camerawork along the way, including close ups which I already mentioned. As the song starts off, there is a soft build up which leads into a heavier section, which is the chorus. The soft build up uses a mid shot of a girl standing on a bridge with her bag, with calm scenery in the background, which happens to be quite deserted apart from the lone boat. The camera then shows an establishing shot and long/wide shot to show the scenery, which is an old styled town/city, and then back to the girl on the bridge that is looking around. This emphasises the loneliness of the girl. Later on throughout the video, the girl is shown painting in her room viciously by swiping her paint brush up/down/across her canvas. Camerawork used here includes a mid shot to show her upper body movement (arms swinging) and facial expressions (sadness and anger). Panning is also used to pan across her front/side as she is doing this to emphasise her emotions. Editing: There is a lot of cutting going on throughout this music video between the band playing in an empty church and the girl during her everyday life (arguing with her mum, sitting alone at school, etc.). It does this at appropriate moments to relate what’s happening to girl with the song’s lyrics, i.e. “every step that I take is another mistake to you” while she is arguing with her mum. Yet again, editing is used to relate the girl to the lyrics: during the chorus, the lyrics include “I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there”, while at the same time shows the girl sitting in class among a lot of people. Fast motion editing is then used where everyone walks out of the class fast leaving a blurry, distorted image behind them temporarily, while the girl still remains in her seat with no fast motion editing added to her. This goes along with the lyrics “I can’t feel you there” because she feels so detached from everyone else; this is how she sees the world/her life. Sound: The main and virtually only sound that is heard throughout the music video is the song itself. The band is shown playing and singing along to the song. Even when the band itself isn’t shown singing/playing and it cuts to the girl, the song still plays, and at the end of the video, it’s as if the girl can hear the band playing, and run towards the church where the song is coming from. This indicates that the song being could be diegetic.
- 2. Mise-én-scene: Locations and settings used include a church, a school (university) and other random locations around a town/city. This helps create verisimilitude because they are everyday settings that people the same age as the girl in the video can relate to. The costumes worn by people in the video (from the band, to the main girl, to the extras) are very casual clothes that teenagers would wear (i.e. hoodies, jeans with holes in them, etc.). Props would obviously include the instruments that the band is playing, school books being carried by students, dinner, etc.
