Kermode counters that film censorship is impossible and adults should be free to watch what they want, and that parents are responsible for monitoring their children's viewing. He argues films have different meanings to different people and should not be edited or banned.

It is a challenging yet remarkably humanizing film that depicts life in the dehumanizing setting of Guantanamo Bay in a balanced way. While it shows the inhumanity and criticism-worthy reasons for failing to close Gitmo, it avoids taking explicit political stances. Through the unlikely friendship between a sympathetic American guard and a detainee, it explores their shared humanity and the possibility of understanding across vast differences, reflecting the filmmaker's goal of telling an honest emotional story without propaganda from either perspective. However, some argue it still perpetuates stereotypes through its implicit characterization of the detainees, and questions remain about whether depoliticization is truly possible in such a politically charged topic.
If you are having trouble formulating a concise log-line for your story, chances are your plot is suffering from DGD (Dramatic Grammar Deficiency), or - worse - that you are failing to grasp the emotional logic of what is actually going on as evidenced by the actions and interactions of the characters. If this is not the case, then basically what you have to do is, look at the beginning of the second act of your story. That is the main chunk of it. You imply Act 1 with your protagonist’s adjective of manner that contrasts them against the new world of Act 2 they have dived deep into. You also must imply the consequences of the protagonist failing in your log-line to make things not boring when you tell someone about it so they’ll want to know more.
That’s literally all there is to it.
Film noir target audiences can vary in age and gender. While some experts argue the genre targets older audiences who grew up with film noirs, others believe younger viewers are interested in understanding the 1940s criminal underworld. However, more recent film noirs often receive 18+ ratings due to violence and sexual content. In general, the target gender is male, as film noirs typically feature attractive femme fatales who seduce or fall for the main male character, adding an element of fantasy for the male viewer. So in conclusion, while the target audience age may depend on the specific film, the genre generally aims for a male viewership.
A thriller is a genre aimed at building suspense and keeping audiences guessing. They use twists, turns, and misleading clues to confuse viewers and get their adrenaline pumping.

Shutter Island uses an asylum escape and Teddy's flashbacks and hallucinations to create uncertainty. The Departed builds tension as the audience learns the identities of "rats" before the characters do. Gone Baby Gone features a missing child case in a rough Boston neighborhood and uses lighting, camerawork, and facial expressions to convey feelings of tension.

The film is set in Suffolk, and represents it as both isolated and dangerous, challenging stereotypes of it being a safe rural area.

Alex Allan and Ellis Stewart chose to create a music video for the band The Frontiers' song "Leave The Clouds." They intend to feature both performance shots and a narrative of lead singer Ben waking up to go to the performance he is already at. In the narrative, three symbols - a pretentious music critic, the Devil, and a government/establishment figure - will try to influence Ben down unwanted paths by changing his style, tempting him with drugs and sin, and telling him to get a conventional job instead of following his musical dreams. These figures will dress in archetypal attire representing their roles. The narrative will climax in a western-style standoff at the gig, just before the solo, where
Music video conventions provide familiarity and consistency for audiences. Common conventions include performance, narrative, and mixed styles. Typical camera techniques are close-ups of singing and instruments, crane shots, and establishing shots. Mise-en-scene elements like props, costumes, and locations vary by style and genre.

Ben wakes up hungover and leaves his house, walking down the street while smoking. The video cuts between Ben walking and his band performing in a dimly lit room. As Ben walks, he passes an altercation where two angry men are confronting another man alone. Ben seems unaffected but the situation reflects the song's lyrics of "running away". The video continues cutting between Ben and the band's performance, focusing on different band members and shots that match the tempo. It ends with Ben arriving where the band is, pulling out a gun and shooting his on-stage doppelganger, symbolizing his rebirth and no longer bowing to those who drag him down.

Camera shots like long shots, close-ups, and mid shots from different angles showcase the artist and emphasize lyrics. Lighting sets the mood, with brighter colors suggesting pop and darker tones implying rock. Strategic arrangement of people and objects on screen, or mise-en-scene, reinforces the video's point. Editing uses techniques like jump cuts to maintain a quick pace that matches the narrative. Costumes and colors identify the genre and can influence viewers to emulate the artist.
This document discusses ideas for a music video for the Arctic Monkeys song "Knee Socks". It provides background on the song's meaning and inspiration from Alex Turner's past relationship with Alexa Chung. The proposed narrative would show the relationship between Joe Hennessy (playing Alex) and Beth Grayson (playing Alexa) over the course of the song, ending with their breakup. Scenes include the characters' initial meeting and Joe lighting a sparkler to reflect one of the song's lyrics. Ideas are discussed for filming a live performance of the full song by the band actors. Input is requested from the reader for additional ideas to complete the music video.
1) The actor for the magazine cover will be a sixth form student to make photography easier, while bands will be used inside.
2) Photographs will be taken at the student's school for simplicity, with a plain background sought to look professional.
3) Props may include a green screen to ensure a plain background, or a guitar if a solo artist is on the cover instead of a band.
The document describes how the media product uses and develops conventions from real media products. It discusses using conventions such as a barcode, masthead, left third layout, range of fonts, larger titles, breaking content into sections, page numbers, contact details, larger images, image captions, article headings, quotes, and page numbers. Some conventions are used directly from real media, while others are developed - such as breaking text into smaller blocks with bolded lines rather than just paragraphs. The goal is to engage the target audience while challenging conventions in some respects.
Throughout constructing a magazine product using Photoshop, the author learned more about Photoshop's features, such as making images black and white or removing backgrounds. While initially lacking confidence with Photoshop, the author's skills and confidence with photo editing in Photoshop developed during the construction process. The author feels they learned a lot about technologies by using Photoshop to construct the magazine product.
Bauermedia would be an appropriate media institution to distribute the product because while it distributes a similar magazine, Kerrang, it is the only one of its kind that Bauermedia distributes. Distributing the product through a large media institution like Bauermedia would allow the magazine to be sold in more places and become more well known, potentially leading to more success.
Bauer was initially considered as a media distributor because it is very successful and well known for its magazines. However, Bauer publishes two rock magazines, Kerrang! and Q, that are similar to the proposed music magazine. Time Inc. UK was then considered because it is also well known and successful, but it only distributes one magazine, NME, that operates in a similar market. This would result in less competition within Time Inc. UK compared to Bauer. Distributing the new magazine through a big named distributor like Time Inc. UK would allow it to reach a nationwide audience and appeal to the target readership.
The document discusses the improvements the author has made to their magazine project since a preliminary task. Specifically, the author improved the layout and sizing of images and text, made the placement of information more neat and professional, learned to better manipulate images using Photoshop skills, and obtained feedback from their target audience to ensure the magazine was suitable for them.
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute a new magazine. It considers Prometheus Global Media first due to their distribution of Billboard magazine, which focuses on hip-hop/pop like the new magazine. However, reviews found issues with Prometheus' management. The document then explores Bauer Media as another option, as they distribute a wide range of genres, though few hip-hop brands. Bauer receives better overall reviews than Prometheus.
The document discusses how the author addressed their audience in a music magazine project. Some key ways included using eye-catching images of bands on the cover to attract readers interested in music. Color choices and layouts were inspired by existing popular music magazines. The contents page introduced articles to draw readers in and advertise social media for ongoing engagement. A competition and coverage of fan questions further attracted the target audience. Formatting choices like bold text, fonts, and colors aimed to visually stand out throughout the magazine.
The target audience for the media product is teenagers and young adults aged 16-25. The magazine aims at this group through its use of black and red colors, articles on bands and music of interest, and bold eye-catching fonts. Feedback from the target audience through an online survey was used in designing the magazine to match their preferences.

During the process of constructing this product, the author learned to use several new hardware and software technologies. They used a green screen for presentations, Apple Mac computers, and Photoshop for the first time. Photoshop allowed them to quickly and easily edit photographs using tools like the Quick Selection Tool. Online software like Prezi, iMovie, Voki, YouTube, and SlideShare were also utilized. These programs helped with presenting work, adding creativity and comedy to evaluations, sharing videos, and displaying documents without downloads. Overall, the author gained experience with multiple technologies through planning, research, and construction of this project.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
