2. proposal fmp l3
This proposal outlines a side-scrolling video game called "Powers" aimed at male teenagers ages 15-20. The game allows players to control one of four heroes with unique powers like ice, fire, rock, or strength. Players can upgrade their characters and switch between heroes. The goal is to progress through levels and defeat increasingly difficult enemies and bosses. A pixel art style will make the game look retro. The proposal also includes plans to create box art to advertise the game, with research including surveys and interviews on the target audience. Production will involve animating gameplay in Photoshop and sound design in GarageBand, with evaluation of the final products.
Evaulation: Question 3
1) The document discusses feedback received from audience members who viewed a teaser trailer for a horror film.
2) Respondents felt the opening music set an uncertain mood that fit the trailer well. Text between shots was effective in outlining the film.
3) Shots of bloody apples signified death or harm to the main character. Daylight shooting still conveyed the horror genre through music and aspects.
Questionnaire Analysis 2
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about audience preferences for action movie opening sequences. It asked questions about opinions on action movies, expectations for openings, preferred content and characters, and whether audiences prefer chase scenes or character introductions at the start. Most respondents said they want character introductions in openings to avoid confusion and help develop the story. They also preferred stereotypical tough and heroic characters. This information will help the filmmakers create an opening sequence that appeals to their target audience's expectations for the action genre.
4. proposal
This proposal outlines a game called "Super Star Bros" targeted at boys aged 16-19 that combines elements of Super Mario Bros and Star Wars. It will involve challenging levels where the player avoids stormtroopers and enemy vehicles. The game aims to be entertaining through tense action and challenges. Research will include analyzing Super Mario Bros and Star Wars games to design distinct but inspired levels. Sound effects will be modified using reverb to suit the space setting. Progress and skills from the year's work will be applied, including animation and sound editing. The game and process will be evaluated based on suitability, strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement.

Film and TV
This document provides an overview of key concepts in film and television studies. It outlines various textual and representation areas that are analyzed, such as language, technical elements, gender, age, social groups and ethnicity. It also summarizes several influential media theories, including those of Stuart Hall on encoding/decoding, Richard Dyer on stereotyping, and Laura Mulvey's concept of the male gaze. Finally, it lists different technical aspects of film and TV like mise en scene, sound, camera and editing, and provides links to additional resources on some of these topics.
Effects of Representations
Media representations can have both positive and negative effects on individuals, groups, and society. They can influence attitudes and behaviors through copycat behavior, education and information, socialization, objectification, and stereotypes. Representations can reinforce dominant ideologies but also potentially challenge them. The media is an effective vehicle for spreading dominant worldviews to wide audiences.
Dominant Ideologies Intro
Dominant ideologies in society include patriotism, family values, consumerism, religion, age, gender, class, and politics. The dominant ideology regarding women portrayed them in magazines as focused on beauty, appearance, and dieting in the 1900s-1950s and 1970s-now with an emphasis on slimness. Dominant ideologies are supported by the media like magazines, films, TV, music videos, advertisements, computer games, and newspapers to appeal to wide audiences and make people feel normal.
Constructing Representations (technical areas)
This document provides information and writing frames to analyze various media texts and how they construct representations that conform to dominant ideologies or genre expectations. It discusses analyzing film, TV, music videos, games, print media, and advertisements by referencing technical elements like mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, sound, and layout and relating them to theories like the male gaze, stereotypes, reception theory, and moral panic. Sample writing frames are provided to demonstrate analyzing how meanings are created in specific texts through technical elements and applying relevant communication theories.
Baudrillard
Jean Baudrillard was a philosopher whose work analyzed how living in a postmodern, media-saturated environment shapes perceptions of reality. His concept of "simulacra" described how media representations of reality become exaggerated simulations that audiences may mistake for the real. Baudrillard argued that media coverage of events like wars presents a hyperreal version that distorts understanding of actual realities and priorities. His theories remain influential in analyzing how media constructs and influences perceptions of gender, sexuality, and current affairs.
Theory Continued
This document provides an overview of media representation theory and concepts for exam practice. It discusses key theories such as how media representations reflect the ideology and values of the producer. It also addresses how audiences can interpret representations in both passive and active ways and may be impacted both positively and negatively by media effects. Examples of potential impacts include copycat behavior, education, socialization, objectification, and reinforcement or challenging of dominant ideologies.
Basic Theories
This document provides an overview of media representation theory. It discusses key concepts from theorists such as Stuart Hall on encoding/decoding, Richard Dyer on stereotyping, and Laura Mulvey on the male gaze. Mulvey's theory suggests that media often sexualizes and objectifies women as objects of desire for a heterosexual male gaze through scopophilia, voyeurism, and exhibitionism. The document also covers audience effects theories, representation areas like gender and ethnicity, and technical elements of different media like film, advertising, gaming, and magazines.
Audience Positioning Unit 1 Representations
The document discusses how audiences are positioned when consuming media texts. It identifies several elements that help define audience positioning, including the camera position, mode of address, and whether the gaze is from a male or female perspective. It provides examples of different modes of address and the implied audience roles and relationships that result. The document also discusses reception theory and how audiences can have preferred, negotiated, or oppositional readings of media texts. It concludes by defining open, closed, and polysemic texts and how they allow for varying levels of interpretation.
