Short film
This short film will follow a teenager as he flashes back to events leading up to his attempt to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. The film aims to highlight the issue of suicide among 18-23 year olds by having viewers connect with the main character. It will be no longer than 5 minutes and will be filmed in locations like homes and canals. The filmmakers will need equipment like lights, microphones, and tripods to capture the scenes and soundtrack. They also need to consider the ethical issues of portraying such a sensitive topic sensitively and get feedback on possible motivations for the character's suicide attempt.
Final pitch
This short film will follow a teenage boy as he walks from home to a bridge where he plans to commit suicide. Through flashbacks, the film will show why he has reached this point and why he feels guilty over his brother's death. It will be inspired by other short films that deal with mental health issues and suicide. The filmmakers plan to shoot in a home and by a canal bridge, and will need a tripod, sound recorder, and an extra to play roles in flashbacks. They aim to distribute the film on social media.
Evaluation Q4
The document discusses targeting the film "Stalk Thy Neighbour" towards the lower middle class (C1 and E classes) in the UK. This is because the lower middle class makes up the largest part of the population, so targeting this group would make the film more successful. The characters, props, locations, costumes, and aesthetics will all portray and resemble the lower middle class. The intended audience for the film is ages 12 and over due to some violent scenes involving blood and injury, but no graphic details, which is appropriate for a 12 rating.
Target audience
The document discusses the target audience for a horror/thriller film. It will target a mass audience globally since many people enjoy the genre. Specifically, the film aims at a working class audience aged 16-25 living in cities who want excitement. It will attract both male and female viewers since the horror themes are not gender specific. Younger viewers may be drawn to any violence or gore.
AS Media - Target Audience
The document discusses target audiences for horror movies. It finds that teenagers, ages 15-25, are the largest audience segment. Horror films often feature teenage protagonists that younger viewers can identify with. Additionally, research shows women watch more horror films than men, so including female characters, even in victim roles, helps target that demographic. Based on these findings, the document concludes its target audience for a new horror film should be 15-25 year old males and females.
Bbfc
The BBFC classifies films in the UK according to age ratings and content guidelines to protect viewers, especially children. Films are submitted for classification and may receive a different rating than requested. Case studies describe films like Gremlins and Alien receiving higher ratings than originally sought due to graphic or unsettling content. Fight Club required cuts to violent scenes focused on facial injuries to maintain an 18 rating.
Evaluation question 4
The document discusses determining the target audience for a media product. It analyzes the demographics of age, gender, income level, race, and location that would most appeal to and be represented in a crime thriller film for 18-25 year olds, focusing on students and young adults in Britain and America with incomes of C1 to E who are mostly male, white, and would identify with male lead characters and some female and African American supporting roles.
Evaluation: Question
The audience for this media product is teenagers ages 15-18. Research showed that thrillers make a huge profit from this age group. While some people ages 20-28 also watch these films, teenagers are the key demographic. In order to target this teenage audience, the film would need a 15 rating certification to allow 15-18 year olds to view it theatrically. A 12A rating would be too restrictive, while an 18 rating would lose out on profits from younger teenagers. The film aims to be similar to other 15 rated thrillers like The Strangers and Silent House that involve home invasion and suspense with frightening themes, violence, and gore.

It analyzes the audience profile, theories for why audiences watch horror, different types of horror films, and BBFC ratings. Famous horror actors mentioned include Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi.
What Did We Use To Attract Our Audience
The document discusses how the filmmakers aimed to attract their target male audience. They used graphic violence, including scenes of a man violently attacking a woman, to appeal to taboo interests.

The filmmakers concluded that the graphic violence and exploitation of women were key factors in attracting their audience.
Audience of film and horror
The document discusses film audiences over time and the current UK cinema demographic. It saw a rise in cinema attendees after film's introduction until 1951, when TV was introduced and numbers declined until stabilizing in the 1980s. Currently, the main cinema audience is ages 15-24, followed by 35-44 and 25-34, and the male to female ratio is almost equal. For horror films specifically, the primary audiences are males ages 15-24, as well as working to middle class viewers and groups of friends or couples on dates.

BBFC post
The BBFC classifies films in the UK by considering elements like discrimination, drugs, imitable behavior, language, nudity, sex, themes, and violence. They give each film an age rating to indicate what audiences a film is suitable for. This film was given a 15 rating for its violence, threat, horror theme, and strong language. While it contains these elements, it avoids explicit gore or drug use that could warrant an 18 rating. The film explores themes of horror and possession with some moderate supernatural violence and exorcism scenes, as well as brief sexual and nudity content, and hate speech through demonic possession.
Bbfc Classification
This document discusses film classification ratings in the UK and analyzes whether a film dealing with an oppressive government and featuring images of guns and violence could receive a 15 rating. It provides details on the requirements for a 15 rating and notes that while the film contains lethal weapons and violent action sequences, other 15-rated films have also featured such content. It argues that as the film does not dwell on or portray violence positively, it falls within the guidelines for a 15 classification.
Evaluation Question 4
The document discusses targeting a film towards the lower middle class (C1 and E classes) as they represent the largest part of the population, so the film could be more successful. The characters will mimic the attitudes, appearance and behavior of the lower middle class so that audience can relate to them.
It also discusses choosing a 12 rating for the film because it includes a brief scene of a car accident with some blood and a body on the floor, which meets the BBFC criteria for a 12 rating.
It defines what a 12A rating means according to the BBFC, that children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult, and adults should consider if the content may upset children under 12.
The Bitter Kiss age rating & censorship

A 15 rating means those under 15 cannot legally view or purchase the film. Elements typical of 15 rated films that will be included are strong violence, frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, brief scenes of sexual violence, and drug taking. The document considers the amount of strong language allowed, depicts a suicide scene briefly without graphic details, and explains why a lower 12A or 12 rating was not suitable due to the film's exploration of mature themes like sex, murder, and crime that could have too much impact on younger audiences.
Cabin in the woods pp

Psychographic analysis revealed the target audience has an "Explorer" personality that seeks new experiences through challenging films. Research on media consumption showed the 15-24 age group is most active on social media, indicating it should be a key platform to reach this audience.
Question 5 evaluation media
The document discusses the target audience for a post-apocalyptic film opening. The audience would be males ages 18-44 based on research of similar films rated 15+ that attracted mostly males under 18 but were watched by males 18-29. The film opening would appeal to this audience through its serious narrative, slow pace, and two male protagonists for viewers to relate to. A British independent film company is producing it, so it would likely be shown in independent cinemas to a British audience.
Target audience
The document discusses analyzing the target audience for a sci-fi film teaser trailer. It examines previous sci-fi films "War of the Worlds" and "I Am Legend" which showed that males were the most frequent viewers but both genders enjoyed the films. The protagonist in the new film is female, which may attract more female viewers who can relate to the character. The films were most popular with people aged 18-29, but the school setting of the new film could interest younger viewers aged 15-17 as well as maintain the interest of older viewers through its more isolated and eerie tone compared to typical sci-fi films.
Audience Profile
The target audience for the horror movie trailer is white males ages 16-25, as they have a strong, loyal fan base and lower budgets appeal to this demographic. While males are the most popular viewers, females are an increasing demographic. The target audience enjoys the excitement, entertainment, and adrenaline of horror films. The film certificate will be 15 to allow the whole target audience and focus on supernatural themes rather than gore. Research showed the target audience regularly uses social media and magazines like Fangoria and Scream to discuss horror. They also enjoy horror games and correlate with metal music fans. Studying the film Paranormal Activity provided research on successfully targeting a similar audience of ages 16-25 with a supernatural horror style.

Fight club & juno audience theory

For Fight Club, the BBFC had concerns about explicit violence scenes that could influence viewers, and required cuts to scenes of glamorized violence for it to receive an 18 rating rather than a more restrictive rating. For Juno, the BBFC felt references to sex and a brief horror scene meant it should receive a 12A rating rather than the requested PG, due to potential influences on adolescent viewers around topics like teenage pregnancy.

It describes researching what horror film audiences expect and finding that they prefer films with relatable characters. It also discusses choosing a 15-25 year old audience and selecting the gothic horror genre.

Q5 - How did you attract or address your audience
The document discusses the target audience for a film. It did not specifically target any age, gender, ethnicity, or religion, though it may appeal more to older audiences due to complex themes, males due to a male lead, and white British audiences as the characters and setting are British.

Personal evaluation
Josh Morrison completed a personal evaluation of a psychological thriller film he created with a group. In the opening scene, they used mystery and enigma to build suspense by briefly showing a boy's scar and using nonlinear editing. They represented a troubled teenage boy and family by portraying stereotypical teenage behaviors but revealed a darker secret involving abuse. Morrison learned the importance of lighting and editing for the tone they wanted to convey. He believes their target audience is 16-25 year olds who would engage with the film's unexpected plot twists and limited information in the opening scene.
Personal evaluation
Our psychological thriller film tries to use mystery and enigma in the opening scene through techniques like elliptical editing and non-linear storytelling. This is meant to build suspense and intrigue around a teenage boy with a mysterious scar on his back. While the opening hints at alcoholism, the real troubled nature of the boy and his family is revealed to be much darker involving abuse at the hands of his father. The film represents the social groups of teenagers and a troubled family unit. With more experience filming and editing, the student feels they have improved their media skills and learned more about techniques like lighting, audio, and continuity between shots.

The film aims to educate audiences and reduce stigma about mental health issues commonly faced by 17-year-old males.
Thriller trailer presentation
The group will create a first-person thriller trailer from the point of view of a male protagonist who has lost his identity and wakes up in the hospital. He seeks answers that lead him to an isolated room with an old television that provides disturbing clues. The hospital, outdoor, and classroom settings will be used. Costumes will reflect the hospital and normal scenes. Lighting will contrast between the clinical hospital and dark room with the television. Sound will include heartbeats and static. The target audience is ages 18-35 who enjoy fast-paced thrillers.
Nathan Davies' Evaluation
The document summarizes how the opening scene of a student thriller film incorporates conventions of the thriller genre and represents social groups. It incorporates conventions like mysteriousness through close-ups and quick cuts. It challenges conventions by showing an obsessive antagonist. The target audience is intended to be male ages 16+ due to some graphic scenes. A major Hollywood studio would be suited to distribute the film due to its wide appeal.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

First Pitch
- 1. MEDIA A2 PITCH Zaneb, Nathan & Billie
- 2. Short summary This short film will highlight a suicide attempt. We will have our main actor getting from point A to B and in this case from home to standing on a bridge just thinking before they plan to take their own life. Meanwhile through his journey we will be showing flashbacks to why he has come there and wants to take his own life.
- 3. Audience We want our audience to be 18-23 year olds because our main character is a teenager so we think that having an audience a similar age would be better as they can connect and relate more to the film. Length We will stick to the brief and keep the film to a maximum of five minutes .
- 4. Inspiration This has come from a short film called 'This girl that lived'. This film shows how schizophrenia can affect a persons mind set which can easily lead to suicide. However, our idea may differ to this as we do not yet know if our character will have a mental disorder/illness. We have also gotten editing techniques and camera views from 'Crooked Smile - J.Cole.
- 6. Logistics & Feasibility We may need lights as we will be filming in the evening. We are planning to have a track playing over the majority of our short film. We may also have a minimal amount of dialogue but we have not yet decided. We will need a tripod because we will have some steady shots other than point of view shots. We will be filming in someone’s home for flashbacks . We will also be filming in the Olympic Park Canal or Regents Canal, we need a place that has a bridge. We will have more than one character within our short film, we will need an extra person for the flashbacks. As we have not chosen the root cause for our character committing suicide, we are unsure how many people we will really need for our flashbacks. We would not want no more than 3 people. As our main character is a teenage male he will be wearing casual clothing such as jeans, hoodie and trainers. Depending on the weather when we are filming our character may need a coat.
- 7. Ethical Issues We have to consider others feelings in the way we show suicide, as for many people it could be a sensitive and serious situation. We have not yet chosen the main cause for the reason of suicide but we have got a few options that we need opinions on such as: • Alcohol abuse • Illegal drugs • Eating disorder • Guilt • Anxiety For anyone of these ideas we choose we have to be careful how we portray them.
